knowledge

[Guest guest]

It is very interesting to me over the years that

several groups have copyrighted their reflexology

points so that no one else could reproduce those

points and claim they were this or that.... as if they

owned the only right to knowledge of healing in that

way.

Our people who copyright information in an

anatomy book so that you can't say the muscles origin

or insertion is this.... because they " Own the rights "

to the information. If this information is true for

everyone then... that's kinda stupid isn't it?

 

Years ago the AMA made it so that those doctors

who didn't practise medicine in their chosen format

were not allow to do medicine. Part of this had to do

with a closely guarded secret, if you wash your hands

before you deliver a baby the mother has a better

chance of survival.

 

Personally I find all these people to be a

disgrace to medicine, yet I understand if someone

makes a discovery they want to be credited for it.

The one does not have to be exclusive of the other,

but Western thinking would try to make it so.

I have a quote that I use alot. " The world is an

IQ test, don't judge others too harsh, as we all are

failing most of the time. " (in something). I am sure

you all have catch phrases, some of them you created

others, ones you picked up along the way.... No one

can honestly expect humans can carry around a

bibliography of every influence to their perceptions,

but trying to give credit where it is due is polite,

it shows respect, and it defers to the

knowledge/wisdom of another.

I don't know if I quoted this person the other

day but when we were talking about the prostrate I

remembered someone had said that when referring to the

Kidneys this wasn't the organ the kidneys per se but a

set of functions. I don't know if I repeated or not

because I didn't remember if my source was someone

here or someone I read, but I think it came from here.

Thing is, did they get it some where else?

Asian Culture does this kind of Copyright notice

in the form of Ancestor worship.... This is the

marital art teaching of sifu this, or Sensei this, and

their teacher was this person, whose teacher was this

person, etc, etc. You can be sure someone gets left

out of the stew pot.

I think it would be polite that if you remember

where a quote came from you ask for permission to

quote the person, Or ask where they got the quote

from. I think most people are polite when asked

nicely. If you see something I write that is

worthwhile then you might ask, hey did you come up

with that, and I might have multiply points of

reference and I just kinda threw 'em together to add

it up without concious thought, but everyone likes

that bit of a stroke to their ego. The attention also

might lead to being able to get more work in their

chosen field, as a person of knowledge or wisdom.

Most issue people have that result in conflict

have to do with respect and protection of teritory

(phyical or mental) of which we might not even hold

dominion. I don't think anybody here would be silly

enough to try and copyright all the accupunture or

accupressure points.... Although, it amazes me that

these scientific institues would copyright their

mapping of dna. As if they created it!

If I ever put out a book and would like to quote

something I will be sure to ask and can only request

the same courtesy likewise. I do not wish to cause

harm to you nor to refuse care to any client I might

have. If you have stated some great knowledge and you

don't want it circulated (credit or not) I might think

you need to explain the reason to that.

Private client information is just that, and so

this is why I haven't seen most people referring to

names merely condition, but if I refer to a client I

will usually ask them for an email saying, " I don't

mind you talking to people about the results you got

when working on me.... "

Gossip, arguements, and such.... should

definately not travel without written consent. This is

how I feel, perhaps others do not feel the same please

let me know. I appreciate all the wisdom and knowlege

and the time people take here.

Thank you.
