Fasten your seat belt...

______________________________________________________
Yes, I know that saying among lawyers, and I also know most people's
opinion
of such legal tactics, particularly the old "trick question" where one
elicits exactly the response desired by phrasing a question in terms of
a
yes or no answer which does not answer the question accurately, hence my
explanation of exactly that point in my original opinion letter. I
think
there has been enough material presented by varied sources to allow
anyone
to make their own judgment as to the similarity of the techniques
presented
by Baumring and used by Cowan, and for anyone to understand these issues
further, it will be necessary for them to study the Baumring material
themselves. As I mentioned in my last statement, even Cowan has
commented
that the similarities between his work and Baumring's were "uncanny".
Most
of the Baumring students that Cowan has worked with were not the most
advanced Baumring students, so it is not surprising that they found
these
applications new and had not seen them before, as each of those students
was
working on many varied applications of equivalent or greater value than
this
one technique. The more advanced students will give a different opinion
more in line with mine, just ask Greg Ruff what he thinks. Beyond this
it
ultimately doesn't matter. This technique is only one of many, many
useful
applications, as partially listed in Cowan's last response, and any
serious
student will be better off spending their time studying every useful
technique rather than debating who used what first. Let's give the
credit
and thanks to Pythagoras or the Egyptian Temple Initiates who supplied
us
with the theorem to begin with, and move on to more important things.
There
is much more to study about the markets than PTVs!
Regarding my notes, it is true that they are primarily comprised of
Private
Lecture Notes, not Seminar Notes, as I rarely took notes at the Seminars
since I often was engaged more in making presentations or helping
Baumring,
and I knew I could cover whatever material I wanted privately whenever I
wanted. However, the examples I gave from my opinion letter posted
earlier,
as I stated, were only from the first 25 pages of my notes which did
come
from the seminars, since I had not at that time yet become a private
student. For a much better presentation of the material covered at the
seminars, we offer through the Sacred Science Institute, Julius
Nirenstein's
Seminar Notes, which cover all 9 Seminars in 250 pages, and in those
Notes
there are dozens and dozens of references to astrology, time cycles,
celestial mechanics, planetary motion, wave mechanics, market geometry,
multi-dimensionality, growth curves, vectors, and just about every topic
discussed in Cowan's books. A sample of 10 pages of these Notes
including
progressive right angled triangles with the hypotenuse being the growth
vector defined by the price & time axes which are the two sides of a
Pythagorean triangle, 3 axes of symmetry, wave mechanics, the ellipse,
and a
number of planetary references, all very similar to some of Cowan's work
may
be viewed at
http://www.sacredscience.com/store/commerce.cgi?page=NOTES.html, and
these
are extracted from only about 2% of the complete content of Julius'
Notes on
the Baumring Seminars, written 4 or 5 years before the release of
Cowan's
books. We also refer you to
http://www.sacredscience.com/store/commerce.cgi?page=BaumSem2.htm for
the
complete contents of the Baumring Seminar Notebooks and Julius
Nirenstein's
Notes to again see the vast number of listings of planetary phenomena
and
material similar to Cowan. Then take a peek at the brief listing of
Baumring's recommended reading list at
http://www.sacredscience.com/store/commerce.cgi?page=BaumRec2.htm and
tell
me whether there is any particular concentration on astrology and
planetary
mechanics, as well as all the other topics recommended by Cowan 5 years
later. As I have said, every Baumring student in aware of all this
material, and I can't quite understand how Cowan seems to always miss it
whether attending the seminars or reading through Baumring Notes. Is it
so
vague to everyone else as well?
Regarding the matter of copyright, Greg Ruff, who is a lawyer and
partner in
a legal firm, and I analyzed this question in very thorough detail and
determined the absolute validity of the copyright on the Baumring
Seminar
Notebooks. Greg Ruff was required to sign a legal contract with Wendy
Baumring the owner of the copyright, and myself as the publisher of this
material, in order to become a legal Marketing Agent for the Sacred
Science
Institute, so that he could list, market and sell the Baumring Seminar
Notebooks on his website. The Notebooks being sold by Greg Ruff were
published and printed by the Sacred Science Institute, and were only
allowed
to be sold by him in accordance with these legalities. Any publication
or
copying of this material in any form by anyone other than the Sacred
Science
Institute is in violation of Federal Copyright Law and is subject to the
full penalties of the law to the same degree as any of Cowan's works or
any
other copyrighted material.
Anyone who would like to verify these laws is referred to Title 17 US
Code,
which is available online from the US House of Representatives at
www.law2.house.gov, which will let you search the current US Code on
copyright. We refer you to 17 USC Sec. 101, 102, 103 on "compilations
and
derivative works", and to the Historical and Revision Notes, House
report
No. 94-1476, for full details on these legalities. All copyrighted
material
which was contained in these Notebooks was removed, leaving references
to
this material until full permissions have been obtained in order to
allow
their inclusion. Greg Ruff spent a considerable time obtaining similar
permissions for the inclusion of other's copyrighted work in his course,
and
I am surprised that Cowan's copyright lawyer did not advise him to do
the
same.
I think I have covered far more than anyone really needed on this
subject,
and hopefully this is enough to put the topic to rest. Any further
questions may be addressed to me at institute@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
