original work of authorship extend to any idea, procedure,... concept, principle, or discovery.” Accordingly,
works of fiction are provided much wider copyright protection, while facts cannot be copyrighted.
As one court stated, “the cause of knowledge is best served when history is the common property of all.”
See: Hoehling v. Universal City Studios, Inc., 618 F.2d 972 (2d Cir.). Another court went so far as to say
that “fact” encompasses all “historical information”. See: Craft v. Kobler, 667 F.Supp. 120, 122 (S.D.N.Y.
1987). Are not all of the writings of Doris Ekker within the realm of “historical information”?
The one pervasive prerequisite element for copyright protection is that such protection can exist only in
“original works of authorship.” See: Roth Greeting Cards v. United Card Co., 429 F.2d 1106 (9th Cir.
1970); also, Title 17 U.S.C. Section 102(a).
In a 1944 case it was reasoned that since an author is “the beginner... the first mover of anything... (the)
creator, originator” it follows that a work is not the product of an author unless the work is original. See:
Remick Music Corp. v. Interstate Hotel Corp. of Nebraska, 58 F.Supp. 523 (D.C. Neb.).
If an author were to recognize that higher intelligences or entities, invisible to most humans, were available
to impart into the mind of the author some profound FACTUAL wisdom, and if such an author were to
actually receive in his mind such higher profound FACTUAL wisdom, and if the author were to write down
the information as it was imparted into his or her brain, then it would follow that the author would not be the
real creator or originator of such written words. The real creator or originator of such profound wisdom
would, of course, be “the first mover” of the information, that is, the Higher Intelligence or entity.
Many people today may have difficulty accepting the fact that invisible, higher intelligences or entities may
exist. But there is a growing body of individuals who have come to the realization that there is more to the
picture than meets the eye. In other words, these people recognize that there is an invisible realm or
dimension of existence that stands behind the visible, physical world we all perceive. These people might
well consider the imparting to mankind of some information from higher sources to be “divine inspiration”.
Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 B.C.), the great Roman statesman, orator and writer, knew well about the
imparting of higher wisdom when he said, “Nemo Unquam Vir Magnus Fuit, Sine Aliquo Divino Afflatu”,
“No one was ever a great man without some divine inspiration.”
Doris Ekker holds those words of Cicero near and dear to her heart, but has modified them to suit our
modern understanding of an equal recognition of the importance of the contribution of women. Doris says,
“No one was ever a great man or woman without some divine inspiration.”
It appears for all intents and purposes that Walter Russell also recognized or intuitively understood the
words of Cicero, as Mr. Russell had stated that his works on the subject of Light had been imparted to him
from some higher intelligence or “White Light”, and that this higher intelligence had told Walter that the
information imparted was for all mankind and must be as freely given to the world as the information had
been given to Walter himself. In addition, the higher intelligence also told Walter that other people would
come along in the future, including both men and women, and that they would be receiving the same
information.
It appears that Walter Russell understood and accepted the above arrangement and for 2 or 3 years he
