Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

(Note: Just to make a notable mention I'll be in Miami Florida from June 12th through June 19th most likely. On a family visit slash vacation period so I will not be updating my blog site during this period.)

Here are another three "Jewels of Truth" for your spiritual wisdom consumption. Including favorite quotes for this month from other notable persons.

Enjoy.

-----------------------------------

861) For what we term as an instant is but a blink of the eye, a moment and none other. For God(dess) an instant is what we call "Eternity" a Holy Divine instant. A flash of Life in the mind of God. Eternity is a timeless moment all but known as an instant that is drawn out for mere mortals. But a non barrier for Spirit to transcend Heaven and Earth in this space we call creation. Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


862) Home is where upon your greatest love resides, not in a physical dwelling but in your hearts abode. Some have referred to this as your sacred inner Temple, where it is also your home for your Divine spirit to reside within the bosom of God(dess). Only those who are willing to be open to such a grace of an everlasting love. Will such an opening be available within their hearts. Letting go of all else but your assortment of greatest loves will you truly set yourself free. Not just with the healing Truth but with your dignity of knowing your true potential freedom. The freedom to choose who you shall become with the support of all that is kind and wholesome. Where this all begins is within your home where your heart and Love dwells always by Grace. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


863) Transformation can happen unto ones self by either "Love or Fear". The imprint left behind is the most telling on a persons psyche and heart. Does one transform for the better or do they succumb to the worst possible motive. Change ushered by love and fear are both powerful forces in themselves. However love as an unconditional force has the widest and greatest impact to heal and restore oneself always by default. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

-----------------------------------------

If you deliberately plan to be less than you are capable of being, then I want to warn you that you'll be deeply unhappy the rest of your life. ---Abraham Maslow.

A bird does not sing because he has an answer. He sings because he has a song. ---Joan Walsh Anglund.

May God protect us, grant us wisdom's fruit; may we gain energy to know the Truth; may our intellects grow clear and bright; may we cherish no ill feelings toward anyone. Om, peace, peace, peace be unto all. ---Taittiriya Upanishad 2.1.1

Wireless Internet Concept: Mass Transit As Mobile Wireless Net Hubs

Hello All,

Rifling through my old notebooks I discovered this original concept I wrote back in December 2002. Regarding the usage of free wireless Internet offered by a local municipality via its local transit authority.

The idea would go like this where the city transit system would furnish city buses / shuttles with a cellular package. This would be placed on the roof of the vehicle as an antenna where additional equipment is stored in some outside the reach panels. Be it on the floor or rear segment of a mass transit vehicle that it is "out of sight and out of mind" from being vandalized.

Now for those bus stations where numerous passengers transfer to a different route. The cellular server farms can be kept with some IT staff as needed for maintenance and inspections of quality of service. Also the "sheltered bus stops" can have a fixed array on its roof. Where each passing city bus or shuttle can link up to it as a node and boost its cellular signal into a community. Of course a security camera can be placed on the sheltered bus stop so as to avoid unauthorized tampering or vandalism. The security cameras can be an extension of the local law enforcement in community policing. Much like in modern cities in Europe (IE London in CCTV) or elsewhere in modern American cities across the nation.

An added twist at the Bus transfer stations or the sheltered bus stops. To replace the 20th century poster advertisements with 21st century Organic LCD's that are paper thin. Where under a shatter proof and scratch resistant Plexiglas the video advertisements can be situated throughout a bus station or sheltered bus stop.

The benefit for the mass transit authority is additional advertising revenue. For supporting such a cellular mobile network of wireless Internet connectivity for its citizens. Including if a "Amber Alert" or other emergency alert needs to be broadcast. Such as a "Weather Alert" like here in Florida during Hurricane season or other freak storms or "Traffic Alerts". Such an Organic LCD display system rolled out over the mass transit network grid of bus stations or sheltered bus stops. Would aid local municipal government in such media alerts as needed. Perhaps even to be utilized by local Police Stations to circulate in a 21st century manner the "Wanted" criminal posters. (such as "Crime Stoppers")

This is a win / win / win situation for the local citizens, mass transit authority, and the local law enforcement for community development.

Game Resale Concept: Game Publishers Keeping Profits On Game Resales

Hello All,

I have read many a time how game publishers be they EA (Electronic Arts), Sony, Microsoft, THQ, amongst others lament. On how they are losing royalties when consumers of games (gamers) resale they're game title as a "trade-in". At places like Blockbuster, Hollywood Video, GameStop, or at a small business video game retailer. Where the aforementioned retailers above resale a used game or basically rent them out to their customer base. All the while extending the shelf life of a game title at the expense of the game publisher.

What if a game publisher turns the table on such a secondary market? By beating those secondary market resellers of games at they're own game. (pun fully intended)

The manner of which I see this could benefit the game publisher and the consumer at the same time. Since the gamer / consumer will need an incentive in order to part with their hard copy of a game title.

The game publisher will offer a 50% off retail store credit with the game publisher E-Commerce site. Besides offering the consumer a future 10% discount on any future game they purchase from their E-Commerce site. There can be other marketing or publicity incentives like a free T-Shirt of a game title of their choice, etc...

What this will do is lower the circulation of "Traded Games" in the secondary market. From the usual retailers that skirt the game publishers in paying additional royalties in reselling a game title. Be it as a "used product" or on a continual basis as a "rental product" at POS. (Point of Sale)

When a gamer (consumer) does sell back their game title to the game publisher. The publisher will send out a CD / DVD mailer sleeve postage paid. At no cost to the consumer in order to return the hard copy of the game title. There could be additional requirements such as including the original game manual. But that will be up to the discretion of the game publisher policy in buying back used games they once sold previously.

Behind the scene once a game publisher receives the used game into their inventory. They can "Re-Purpose" the game title, as in ascribing a new unique CD Key to the disc. Including updating the game disc with any additional game patches since the original product sold at retail. Once the game disc has been refurbished it can be resold by the game publisher as a "Used Game Title". At a reduced price point from their game publisher E-Commerce site or anywhere else in their distribution network of retail outlets.

The savvy game publishers could even make offers to purchase back game title discs from their rival game publishers. Where for a small processing fee they ship back in volume to the original game publisher the used game title. Where the original game publisher can "re-purpose" the used game procured from their competitor game publisher for resale.

All the while the consumer (gamer) gets the incentives of store credit and a future discount of a game purchase. From the proprietary E-Commerce site the game publisher owns and operates exclusively. A win / win situation for the consumer and game publisher at the expense of retailers of trade in's and rentals. That have cheated game publishers of their royalties in full due.

Entertainment Media Concept: Plotline Perspectives

Hello All,

This concept I would rather credit to Mr. Clint Eastwood when he directed 2 versions of the same film. Being that of the WWII Pacific battle of "Iwo Jima". One being from the allied American perspective and the other from the Japanese Empire point of view.

My suggestion is to take this concept and give a twist for a popular entertainment IP (Intellectual Property) franchise. Popular entertainment IP suggestions could be: Star Trek, Lord of The Rings, Harry Potter, DC Comics, Marvel Entertainment, or in my example below Star Wars.

The "Perspectives Treatment" is not limited to such blockbuster hit films at the box office. It can span other forms of entertainment mediums, such as: print (magazine or novels), music, Internet (videos or websites), etc...

Let's take for example a popular hit film like "Star Wars" the original Episode 4 that started it all for director "George Lucas". Using the "Perspectives Treatment" Episode 4 would be redone using the main and sub-plot lines of an array of secondary "heroes & villains". From the bias of the Galactic Empire in psychology and motivations in the story telling process. Offering additional content from the same time line of Episode 4 of the Star Wars Universe. Where the story is told from the view of the Galactic Empire as being justified if not righteous in its own presumption of their own actions.

Basically re-writing the Star Wars tale from the view of the Empire. In future renditions of the "Perspective Treatment" the bias can be from the "Rebels" or from the "Civilian Populace". All the while following the main story plot line but adding secondary in-depth sub-plot lines. With an entire additional cast of "Heros & Villains" so as to give the IP brand additional legs in its story telling.

That is in a nutshell what the "Perspectives Treatment" is all about.

Atrayo's Personal Creativity In Terms Of Abstract Solutions

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

Sorry, for my absence the past few weeks with updating this blog site. My computer's motherboard went bust and I had it in the shop awaiting a replacement. But it's alright now, thankfully.

Without a further adieu here are the next three all original "Jewels of Truth". Enjoy!

--------------------------

858) For lonely people can have the company of God(dess) the maker of creation. For the grandeur of God can fill in the role of all the much needed relationships. For as much God can shine within you like the torch of life. Attracting to you all the souls that can uplift your mood to a place of harmony. Be calm and know in God's company all things are in order for the lonely of being. That the pain of solitude shall pass to be a fore long memory. To invoke this blessed union with God(dess) all you need is unconditional Love in your heart. In order to grow your relationship with your creator God(dess). Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


859) What we call free will is a tremendous gift from God. This gift is but a chance to fulfill our role in life for the highest good of all. Or we can ruin this gift by wasting ourselves and our environment around us into oblivion. However a God(dess) of absolute Love will always redeem us with the benefit of a grace that is everlasting. Do we exercise this gift of "freewill" with prudence or do we waste it by our personal misgivings for each passing moment? That is our gift to decide the outcome. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


860) Gratitude and Hope go hand in hand as Sisters, where each values what is presented. Gratitude allows for the thanksgiving for what is "Now", and for what has been given. Hope allows for a future form of gratitude to be expressed and perhaps shared with many more souls. Gratitude and Hope are both wonders of the heart that continue to give long after they have occurred. Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

------------------------------

A person may rise to the highest degree of contemplation even when busily occupied. ---St. Mary Euphrasia Pelletier. "Embrace The World"

What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal. ---Albert Pine.

There is only one way out of the world's thinking, just as there was only one way into it. Understand totally by understanding totality.
---A Course in Miracles. "Totality of the Kingdom" Chapter 7; Paragraph 10; Verse 9-10.

Environmental Group Concept: "Landfill Combers"

Hello All,

Many of us may know of those volunteers be it school groups or otherwise that clean beaches and other coastal waters of discarded trash. So as to help the local environment recover and heal whenever possible.

What I'm recommending is a twist on such a environmental group organization that already exists for coastal water ways. To have something similar to those in 3rd world nations that are impoverished that look for salvage from landfills. In this case however to have trained volunteers wearing protective equipment. Which can consist of leather industrial gloves, surgical plastic visors and masks so as not to become contaminated.

Such volunteers will be looking for all recyclable goods that still ended up in the trash landfill. Including secondary items such as discarded electronics that will not have the chance to leech any dangerous chemicals back into the landfill environment.

These volunteers can be from a environmental group or those required to fulfill community service hours due to some misdemeanor offense. Of course such a non-profit group will need to work through the proper channels. So as to obtain municipal permissions so as to conduct their recovery work for the environment itself.

Although it will never be the unrealistic goal for such a group to reclaim everything that is in a discarded landfill. That can be salvaged be it: paper goods, glass, plastics, metals such as aluminum. But to be a last chance crew of volunteers to salvage what otherwise would be lost in the recycling process for a city or county municipality.

Sci-Fi Movie Concept: "The Garden of Eden Discovered"

Hello All,

From time to time I enjoy indulging myself with concepts related to the entertainment media. This concept entry is no different where by I'll be delving into a science-fiction movie platform that is borderline Biblical and Meta-Physical in nature.

As explained below here is the summary abstract for such a movie:

In the later 21st century both technologists and theologians will seek out the entrance to "The Garden of Eden" from the Torah, Bible, and the Quran. (including Apocrypha writings) Where according to the Biblical "Book of Genesis" chapter two it is guarded by Angels.

Leading such an expedition will be a biblical archaeologist in the same vein of "Indiana Jones", but with a Sci-Fi Twist. Secondary expedition members can consist of a comic-sidekick, brainy technologist, and a trusted loyal friend. (Similar to the away team formula used in the Star Gate SG-1 Tv series)

The Garden of Eden was / is at the mouth / source (base) of 4 rivers. That being the Euphrates, Tigris, Pison, and Gabon which the latter two rivers have long since disappeared. However according to a satellite in Geo-Synchronous Orbit the dried out river canals of the Pison and Gabon rivers will be discovered. (The History Channel recently televised on their cable Tv series "Decoding The Past". The discovery of the rivers of Pison & Gabon from a decommissioned CIA satellite Image)

Placing the "Garden of Eden" what is today in the "Persian Gulf". Similar to how the Mediterranean Ocean was formed by the collapse of a mountain ridge line bordering a large ocean. Causing a Tsunami effect and infilling a basin in a matter of Hours if not Days.

The intrepid explorers will first search by land in and around what was Ancient Babylon (modern day Iraq). All the while looking for clues leading them through out past known sites and ones yet undiscovered. Where finally they discover that the entrance to the "Garden of Eden" is within the "Persian Gulf" itself. In the depths underwater seeking a dimensional gateway guarded by Angels.

During the course of the movie plot line we'll discover more character background to our hero. The Biblical archaeologist was a former Vatican Priest where he left the Priesthood due to his obsession of locating the "Garden of Eden". His purpose is in finding the "Tree of Life" fabled to have been within the "Garden of Eden". His reason isn't his alone but driven by desperation led by the one remaining world government in the latter 21st century. Humanity is near extinction due to a global pandemic threatening not only humanity but all animal, flora, insect creatures on Earth itself.

The "Tree of Life" would be the universal cure all to all ailments plagued by mortality. Once the expedition discovers the underwater dimension gateway to the "Garden of Eden". Thus the hero must pass the virtuous test similar to the pursuit of "The Holy Grail". That only the "Pure of Heart" may pass, but will they ever return? Due to the fact of encountering a Physical landscape that would be the equivalent of Heaven on Earth. There is also the meta-physical and ethical struggle of unleashing the "Tree of Life" serum on the world. Making everything from Humans, animals, insects, and flora Immortal.

What will be the outcome?

-----------------------------------

This sci-fi movie proposal would be excellent if broken up into a trilogy series. Creating a epic tale similar to J.R.R. Tolkeins "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy shot in New Zealand. Actually New Zealand can be the emphasis of the "Garden of Eden" within the movie. Where Ancient Babylon can be shot in present day Iraq offering much needed revenue to their current country.

Food for thought.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

With a Happy Easter to every Christian today, besides a belated Happy Passover to any Jewish readers.

Here are another three all original and for the first time ever published "Jewels of Truth". May you enjoy them as much as I have in writing them by inspiration.

--------------------------------------

855) Be wary of political leaders that use fear tactics to herd their citizens to a consensus. For no good is a foot, and ready to ambush the naive of heart turning their ideals against them. Rather than heed those leaders within the leadership of an organization. That propose notions of inspiration that bind many into a common cause for a greater good. This is the difference between a cheating hypocrite and a Shepard of true ideals and values. Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


856) What is this "Mystery" we call God and of such as it is expressed through life? Well it is a splendor if one permits it to be in regards of their own willful composure. Only by a personal choice can life become a total form of living awe and worship to God(dess). However for those that choose to live in doubt and fear. Will only choose to harvest such darkness from their collective lives, for that is all they see dear child. Be instead of the mindset of the living glories and sacred wonders of life. By being so you will maintain your sense of presence as a Child of God. In doing so a facet of this "Grand Mystery" of life will reveal itself in harmony with how well you can Love in unconditional terms. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


857) Providence travels forth like a rainbows arch into the being of those who permit it to move them beyond their own horizons. The nature of providence is to shift ideals of meaning that are true and blessed by manifesting them into our reality. Where upon the results alleviate hardships that would've occurred otherwise by stubborn and misapplied determination. Be still and know that "Providence" is the sister of Grace's handiwork in all things true and beautiful. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

---------------------------------------------

I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness for it shows me the stars. ---Og Mandino.

To meet everything and evryone through stillness instead of mental noise is the greatest gift you can offer to the universe. ---Eckhart Tolle. "Stillness Speaks".

To speak gratitude is courteous and pleasant, to enact gratitude is generous and noble, but to live gratitude is to touch Heaven. ---Johannes A. Gaertner.

Water Conservation Concept: Water Utility Companies Use Switches For Lawn & Landscape Usages For Drought Areas.

Hello All,

(Sorry, about the mouthful concept title but there was no apt nifty title that has sprung to mind thus far.)

This concept of mine could possibly be implemented already if not just develop a switch to be installed at water utility sub-stations.

What this water utility switch can do is conserve water during water restriction hours. By a local county drought guidelines such as those in my home State of Florida. Since my home address ends in an "Odd" number than my water restriction day is on Thursday before 8:00am EST and after 6:00pm EST.

In order for water conservation purposes instead of hitting local residents and commercial businesses with water penalty fines. When they are using water during peak hours, whether by ignorance to the drought guidelines or in total disregard to them.

To have local water utility companies turn off the water tap for residential lawn and commercial landscape usage. During the aforementioned drought water restrictions imposed by a local municipality. I'm not stating to turn off water for any other usage be it for home residential, commercial business, or fire hydrant water pressure.

Just to avoid the needless use of water when its not supposed to be utilized due to drought restrictions. This is just "Common Sense". Unless local governments want to be further inefficient by levying costly water penalty fines on local residents as a source of income.

My own opinion why Florida is in year long drought restriction guidelines. Is that our population density has mushroomed beyond what is humanly manageable or sustainable by the environment itself.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

Here is another trio of my own authored all original spiritual wisdom statements. May you enjoy them as much as I have in writing from my inspirations within my soul.

----------------------

852) The spark of life what is it?

Is this spark of life a living embodiment of what or whom we term as God? Can this spark of life be both a spark that occurred for an instant and one that stretches the confines of eternity? Perhaps this spark of life had its intent as the very first instance of unconditional love? Where such a love transcends the realms of the physical and the spiritual.

What are we really, are we just God(dess) remembering himself / herself for an instant?
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


853) All the Gods and Goddesses of the Spirit realms, be they of light or dark influences. Or the meta-deity that binds them all into one full Divine monotheist entity. Where the splendors of the Light realms are wondrous, and the horrors of the dark realms are the most wicked. For both polar extremes are majestic and grandiose in scale and scope. When they sojourn into physicality they both arrive as a diminutive form. Not as they are in Spirit, but paradoxically as their opposite reflection. Christ the Savior arrives as a lowly man and carpenter by trade. But in Spirit he is the Prince of Peace. All avatars and ascended masters, amongst still others arrive into mortality as those they are meant to serve the most by nature of their realm, be it of Light or darkness. Giants in Spirit are manifested as mortals of the Earth. This is the balance and the order of things in the cosmic nature of life & death eternal. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


854) Whatever you seek to attain you already possess within your very own personal soul! For your soul is a fragment of the whole soul of God(dess) the creator of the universe. Just focus with gratitude on what you seek to attain. Then with gratitude in your own heart begin to take simple practical steps towards your goal. Over many moments of patience you will attain or arrive at your desired destination. Just do not give up! Give yourself relief with unconditional love when you begin to fret with grief. Surrender all that garbage of stressed emotions to God(dess) fully. Allowing it to be recycled into a grace your able to receive by your own self-imposed limitations.
Act upon each sensible opportunity as if it were a doorway into the next room in God's mansion. Sooner than not your realization into fulfillment will be arriving with your appropriate acceptance. Give thanks in advance with Love not worry in your hearts. Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

----------------------

Pray that success will not come any faster than you are able to endure it. ---Elbert Hubbard.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
---Audrey Hepburn.

It takes a person of great heart to see...the wisdom the Elders have to offer, and so serve them out of gratitude for the life they have passed on to us. ---Ken Nerburn.

Renewable Energy Concept: Geo-Thermal Panels

Hello There,

Instead of "solar panels" pointed towards our sun for capturing solar radiation to generate electricity. Let's go beyond such a limited idea in capturing heated energy. Why not create "Geo-Thermal Panels" that capture source energy emitted not just from the Sun, but from the Earth herself?

There are six viable sources of Geo-thermal energy I have concluded can be utilized. With variant locations mostly from human industrial locations that such Geo-thermal panels can be situated. They are as follows: Geysers (IE locations like Yosemite National Park), Hot Springs, Deep undersea Geo-thermal vents, near semi-active Volcanic regions, areas of controlled Fires, or on urban locations where concrete is in plenty of locales. (capturing the heat energy emitted by concrete during the day and evenings)

For those Geo-Thermal panels near a volcanic region. The panels can be cylinders that are buried into the ground so as to absorb the energy from within the Earth itself. Reducing the hazard of destroyed equipment if a major volcanic eruption occurs.

Other areas where Geo-Thermal panels can be located are in a Petro-oil refinery or on Oil drilling platforms. Where there are those spigots that are flaming torches venting excess energy for safety precautions. An array of Geo-Thermal panels can surround these spigots so as to absorb all this heat energy.

There can also be an artificial controlled fire locations with numerous fire safe systems in place. Where in a camp fire pattern an assortment of such Geo-Thermal panels can be located to capture all the heat from such a fire emitter platform.

Also industrial locations that emit "Steam" as a safety precaution similar to a oil refinery. There can be an array of Geo-Thermal panels to absorb all this heated water vapor energy being vented out.

That leaves with two final locations being power plants be they eclectic of nuclear sites. Along the Gulf Coast of the United States if not other warm temperate regions of the Earth. Where mammals such as Manatee's (Sea Cows) congregate for warmth from these artificially heated waterways. There can be an array underwater of such Geo-Thermal panels to be situated.

The last location is within the water retention tank of a Nuclear power plant. Where the radioactive cooling rods are stored. In such a pool along the wall lining of such a water retention tank have such Geo-Thermal panels located.

There is numerous uses for such "Geo-Thermal Panels", with the more locations the more green renewable energy to be had. I may have only scratched the surface of what is possible in deployed locales from such a technology.
