that was a beautiful channelling George! i'd really like to share it
with friends and i just wanted to ask you about your copyright- you
say- "interested parties may freely distribute this channelling via
the Internet for private use only, provided you do so in its
entirety, give appropriate credit, and state clearly
that this material is copyrighted"

Of course i have no objections to doing this- and i think as a
matter of 'online ettiquette' people should mention thier sources.
(if they have them- so many emails fly around and we have no idea
where they came from, unfortunately many get editted or have an
hidden agenda behind them- but when you get a good one its nice to
know who the originator was!)

Im curious as to whether it is worthwhile copyrighting things on the
internet? i have put out lots of pieces of writing on the net and
its never crossed my mind to copyright.

Prayer for Freedom From Suffering

May all beings everywhere plagued
with sufferings of body and mind
quickly be freed from their illnesses.
May those frightened cease to be afraid,
and may those bound be free.
May the powerless find power,
and may people think of befriending
one another.
May those who find themselves in trackless,
fearful wilderness--
the children, the aged, the unprotected--
be guarded by beneficent celestials,
and may they swiftly attain Buddhahood.

- The Buddha
