Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Greetings Everyone!

I hope you've all have had your end of year festivities in a responsible manner to yourself and each other. Those that party hearty and those that rather reflect on the year that has gone by. Before you commence your "New Year's Resolution" take a highlights only mental inventory of those you should forgive. Especially if you were at fault no matter the reasons. Come to an internal spiritual consensus to do better just like New Year resolutions are all about.

My "New Year Resolution" has been simple and constant for the last few years out of simplicities sake. It is "To do the best I can and to be very well for it". It's no fuss and no muss of half hearted measures and broken resolutions as 3 months into the new year. Many shoot for the moon with ambitious New Year Resolutions only to break them giving yourselves a dosage of grief and guilt. Whereby if your trying to lose weight only a carton of ice cream will give you peace. Or so you think and thus the spiral downward into remorse begins a refreshed cycle of heartache. I say catch yourself before you leap down such a black hole and try something closer to Earth within your grasp. Baby steps rather then Moonshots will yield steady progress over time if indeed you are sincere with accomplishment.

Tonight's trio of original "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statements are in the series # 1060-1062. On the topics of: Change, Reincarnation, and Spirit. Taking in the view of the Meta beyond the confines of this little sandbox we call the Earth and Humanity. Even though you may disagree with some of my statements or conclusions may it nonetheless expand your perceptions of your spiritual inheritance with God.

Namaste my spiritual siblings and have a Happy New Year!

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

Change:

1060) When times are good people will refuse to change or improve their modality of living or thinking. They become complacent and seek not to alter anything of consequence in their lives. Fearing it would cause a risk of loss in lifestyle in regards to prosperity be it material or otherwise. However when things are difficult and if necessary near a boiling point. Then change is ripe in the air and changes that matter are practical to pursue. There will always be people who seek to stand still out of habit. They shall be the first wave of souls to be left behind in the past with hardly a promise for tomorrow. Change is constant and so should we be for the right reasons and for the highest good in each of us especially at no one's misfortune.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Reincarnation:

1061) When any soul comes to life as a (im)mortal being in this physical Creation. They are a Infinite piece of God come to this universe. So as to live, to love, to grow, and to create by having a near opportunity to experience this side of Creation most of all. All souls are ageless spiritual beings of eternity where time has no bearing on existence. However every soul will seek out a physical experience in order to feel time and separation so as to be one with a duality consciousness. All hardships soon become kindling to the evolution of every soul that is incarnated. Not to forsake its own previous spiritual memories as the minor gods or angels in paradise. But to fulfill such tendencies to experience a quasi mortal entity in conjunction with their eternal soul in tandem.

This is all to recall our Source as the Creator himself become alive through us right Now! By returning from every hardship as a catalyst to propel our combined divinity forward. So we may remember through growth and to love Creation at this level of incarnated detail. God(dess) comes through us so we may experience the sublime and the mundane in union. Our experiences becomes a macro kaleidoscope for God the Creator to sift through our thoughts and emotions as himself. To be truly the "I am, that I am". 

We are the souls forging ahead by living, experiencing, and loving for both ourselves and for God(dess) through us. We as mortal beings have never left the womb of our Creator. God(dess) is pregnant with us as life itself. Where an inception of life and birth are a constant developmental reality filled with high praise to our Maker.

When it is our time to return to the fullest realization of paradise by mortal death. We do so being hopefully wiser and rather gentler souls than when we came with ourselves and each other. If not, there are many more opportunities to experience another aspect of life within Creation. Amen.                                                ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Spirit:

1062) Where we as people live as citizens to a sovereign nation within this world that have predefined borders. We as immortal souls from the realms of Spirit have no such border to contend with in our infinite ethereal sojourns. We as the Holy Spirits given mortal form as physical people have our limitations. However when we die to this version of ourselves we become so much more with faculties of the minor gods if we so choose to be again.

To traverse Creation which is a never ending nonlinear distortion as a spiraling life. Traveling to dimensions where time and space do not exist nor shall ever exist in truth. We become one again with the Absolute Creator the "God of gods" rediscovering our inheritance from the frame of mind of the Angels. God is Infinite and so are we in the "Holy Spirit" by being made in his Image and Likeness as souls without borders in paradise. Amen.                                              ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Be yourself, and be what God intended. ---Unknown.

Service is the rent we pay for the privilege of living on this Earth. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time. ---Shirley Chisholm.

The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. ---Socrates.

The progress of our soul is like a perfect poem. It has an Infinite idea which once realized makes all movements full of memory and joy. ---Rabindranath Tagore.

To us, our house was not unsentient matter - it had a heart, and a soul, and eyes to see us with; and approvals and solicitude's and deep sympathies; it was of us, and we were in its confidence and lived in its grace and in the peace of its benediction. ---Mark Twain.

Gems of Opportunity: Public Health & Safety Concept: "Pharmaceutical Addiction Responsibility Fund"

Hello All,

Prescription medications when they serve their purpose are a welcome balm of healing to our healthcare system in America. Healing and treating an array of symptoms that patients so dearly need for the care of any magnitude of ailments. However when such a pharmacology of medications gets abused by patients and ancillary individuals the society as a whole suffers. While researching the topic of prescription drug abuse in America I came across a litany of statistics. I read somewhere that Americans are 5% of the global population say around 311 million, but prescriptions are written like we are 20% of the global population. Pain Killers are the real scourge in America being excessively used. For instance, more addicts die from over doses of pain killers than they do of Heroin and Cocaine combined in America.

This hasn't gone unnoticed by the trade association of the pharmaceutical industry known as PhRMA. This trade group is very concerned about these societal trends where they are vigorously engaged in community education with local community partners nationally. So says such a web page entry citing crucial data points right here. PhRMA on Prescription Drug Abuse (Link)

What I'm proposing with tonight's public health and safety societal conceptual design initiative goes much further. Than mere placing their pharmaceutical toe in the American society waters by means of community and education out reach. To share the pain (pun intended) of the mortality rate and for the living, addicts getting high from their manufactured medications nationally. Meaning to establish a good faith public health trust fund of sorts available to these aforementioned community local partners. Such as drug rehab clinics and hospitals perhaps even narcotics anonymous groups. Drug Courts across America helping to staff and run them, especially by hiring more public defenders on their municipal payrolls. Aid Narcotic Vice Police squad departments with additional resources be it with awarded grants for equipment and additional personnel. Besides helping the affected police departments with the disposal incineration costs of destroying seized prescription medications. Since twice a year nationally the DEA (Drug Enforcement Agency) paid by tax payers foots the bill to promote the "Prescription Drug Take-Back Day". I'll quote from their opening paragraph from November 5th of this year on their event press release. DEA Press Release (Link)

"NOV 05 (WASHINGTON) - On its ninth National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on September 27, the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) and 4,076 of its national, tribal, and community law enforcement partners collected 617,150 pounds (309 tons) of unwanted prescription drugs at 5,495 sites.  This brought the total amount of drugs collected in four years to 4,823,251 pounds, or 2,411 tons.  (A breakdown of this ninth Take-Back Day’s results by state can be seen here.)"

I recall back in the 1980's during the Reagan Presidential Administration years. When cocaine when hitting the streets across America for the very first time. That eventually American military advisers a.k.a. special forces were sent to Columbia to combat the co-ca plant production. By training the Colombian National Army in dealing with this mess in their own backyard. I'm sure the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) got involved by forging partnerships of all sorts. (ie Iran-Contra Affair ring a bell?)

My point is the "War on Drugs" being a catchy phrase having mediocre success nationally in these past few decades. I hear nothing now about a war on drugs although Mexico is practically in a civil war. With 6 major drug cartels just south of our American border. The pharmaceutical industry be it domestically is just sitting pretty making billions of dollars in profits. Some of which I suppose is from illicit uses of the medications they themselves have manufactured. I bet they have those internal numbers somewhere in accounting departments in each company. I'm not stating to declare a war on the pharmaceutical industry that is plain ludricious. However, they are helping that this societal public health and safety dysfunction to continue even if indirectly. Time to pony up a few billion of dollars every year into the aforementioned Public Health & Safety Trust Fund.

I wonder if there are any unseen or unheard of policy research papers from think tanks. Exploring how culpable the pharmaceutical industry is with the prescription drug abuse? Stopping production is not what I'm advocating although stricter quality control distribution standards wouldn't hurt. Thankfully here in the State of Florida, our recently reelected State Attorney General "Lady Pam Bondi". Spearheaded a couple years back a prescription drug database which several other States also are now using. That tracks medications between physicians, pain clinics, pharmacies, and hospitals avoiding previous abuses by addicts. Since only a couple years ago Florida was notoriously known as the Pill Mill Capitol of the country. That title no longer applies thanks to this statewide prescription drug database and Statewide Law Enforcement efforts. Here's such a finding from the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) from this past July 4th, 2014. Prescription Pain Killer Abuses Plummet in Florida (Link) 

Florida gained notoriety after 2007 because of the proliferation of pain clinics in the state that were prescribing large quantities of drugs for pain with little medical justification and were being used primarily by persons abusing or diverting opioid analgesics, benzodiazepines, and muscle relaxants (2). In 2010, Florida was also home to 98 of the 100 U. S. physicians who dispensed the highest quantities of oxycodone directly from their offices. In response, Florida enacted several measures to address prescribing that was inconsistent with best practices. The Florida legislature required that pain clinics treating pain with controlled substances register with the state by January 4, 2010. In February 2010, the Drug Enforcement Administration and various Florida law enforcement agencies began to work together in Operation Pill Nation (3). Pain clinic regulations were further expanded later in 2010. In February 2011, law enforcement conducted statewide raids, resulting in numerous arrests, seizures of assets, and pain clinic closures. In July of that year, coinciding with a public health emergency declaration by the Florida Surgeon General, the state legislature prohibited physician dispensing of schedule II or III drugs from their offices and activated regional strike forces to address the emergency. Mandatory dispenser reporting to the newly established prescription drug monitoring program began in September 2011. Finally, in 2012, the legislature expanded regulation of wholesale drug distributors and created the Statewide Task Force on Prescription Drug Abuse and Newborns.

About less than half of the States in our Union are each utilizing such a strict prescription drug database as a safeguard measure. Paid wholly by tax payers, don't you think the pharmaceutical industry should have some economic skin in helping States fund such initiatives? Or is the community education and local partnerships enough of a responsibility for them as a form of accountability?

Here's a national map from the mortality rates from the year 1999 and 2010 in comparison. Tracking this national drug epidemic courtesy of "Healthy Americans.org" posted last year in October 2013. Link to the National Map Comparison

Prescription Drug Abuse: Strategies to Stop the Epidemic finds that 28 states and Washington, D.C. scored six or less out of 10 possible indicators of promising strategies to help curb prescription drug abuse. Two states, New Mexico and Vermont, got the highest score, receiving all 10 possible indicators, while South Dakota scored the lowest with two out of 10.

According to the report, prescription drug abuse has quickly become a top public health concern, as the number of drug overdose deaths - a majority of which are from prescription drugs - doubled in 29 states since 1999. The rates quadrupled in four of these states and tripled in 10 more of these states.

Prescription drug related deaths now outnumber those from heroin and cocaine combined, and drug overdose deaths exceed motor vehicle-related deaths in 29 states and Washington, D.C. Misuse and abuse of prescription drugs costs the country an estimated $53.4 billion a year in lost productivity, medical costs and criminal justice costs, and currently only one in 10 Americans with a substance abuse disorder receives treatment.

So my concept or requested initiative is that the pharmaceutical industry shows a combined fortitude nationally. Be it through their trade association of PhRMA or other corporate institutions domestically. By placing their combined leadership and custodial responsibility to rather be a great healer. Versus an indirect benefactor financially from the sales of these illicitly used medications. To share in the burden Uncle Sam is dealing from Nationally down to our local streets. Now that States like Florida are better safeguarded from abuses by unscrupulous physicians and pain clinics writing red flag prescriptions.The drug addicts I hear on a minority basis are holding up pharmacies directly in robberies just to get their fix. So the dilemma continues from one source in distribution to another, unfortunately.

Do consider how the Pharmaceutical Industry needs to be held to the highest possible standard in our health care concerns. Just as the government is in combating these efforts from the misguided end users abusing themselves and our society. However, keep in mind this concept initiative can easily apply to Small Firearms Manufacturers and the Pornography Industry in America. Both are indirectly financially profiting from citizens being victimized by gun violence and sexual assaults. They should be held to a higher standard economically since the tax payer is again holding the bag once more.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "Perfection Is Purely Spiritual And Excellence Is For Mortals Alone"

Hello All,

I'm squeezing in my end of the year blog posts to sync up with my monthly routine for my readers here at "Atrayo's Oracle". Typically two "Jewels of Truth" statements from my recent material and the trio of my older works. With at least one monthly "Gem of Opportunity" of an innovative conceptual design offered up as a solution for society as a whole. That's the format I've been trying to follow for the last year or so here on this blog site. Cross-posting my material here at Google's Blogger to my other incarnations of "Atrayo's Oracle". Be it Tumblr, Beliefnet, Temple Illuminatus, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and sometimes Linkedin. I try to cultivate a readership within various sources of social media on the cheap. Thankfully its worked for my web analytic tool highlights readers Internationally. The hits may be modest in the low thousands, however I'm grateful for every sincere set of eyeballs. No matter if this is your first time here or if your a regular reader across any of my several venues.

Tonight's "Jewels of Truth" statement is on the topic of Perfection. Which is very apropos due to the holiday craze at least here in some Western and certain Asian Eastern societies. Do remember chasing for perfection for people is a fallacy, much like a dog chasing its tail. Better yet pursue a sincere moderated action of excellence instead. You'll remain closer to sanity and hopefully avoiding the pitfalls of the ego to jump off the cliff's of despair. Enjoy your holidays no matter your religious faith with yourself and your Creator first. Followed rightfully so by your dear family and friends in this life. As the Lady "Suze Orman" likes to state; "People First, then Things and then Money".

Happy Holidays.

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

Perfection:

1885) All perfection begins within from the spiritual vantage point alone. For all Earthly matters are prone to errors of all varieties and scales of wrong doing. Only excellence can be achieved amongst mortal people in every endeavor as an outlet for a truthful success. Perfection is a spiritual power as a self-directed motion afforded to all from the "Spirit of God" alone. To be perfect one must be pure of heart and of mind in solidarity with the divine in every manifestation. Short of this perfection becomes an ideal to reach for although falling short each time.

Life may seem ruled by chaos when observing worldly events. Yet within all sets of dynamics there is a paradox of order at work. Every system from the minuscule to the gigantic observes such a tenacity as a sublime truth. To proclaim only chaos as the only reality is to only speak a half-truth in conjecture. Every witness can only find perfection in the meta whole watching from a comfortable distance. Up close we miss the whole movement and begin to make unconscious assumptions in isolation of the required parts in motion. We miss the entire scale of the order of being often paying only heed to a narrow spectrum of the selective truth we adhere to overall.

Judging a thing a flaw when indeed it is excellent is more an error of discernment. When one sabotages the efficiency of the whole mechanism in play. Be mindful of the varied consequences when living your lives in conjunction with others. This will forestall the good you seek and of your neighbors goodness as well. Still do take actions when it is warranted for inaction is the death of many in spirit. Be not afraid to move out of instinct or out of choice when you will surely benefit from such a course of action. Otherwise you may very well become the walking dead as mindless or worse heartless people. Just so you can get by life without any trouble at all. This spells ruin in more ways than I can say of the human condition and of the living soul. Perfection is pure Spirit and excellence is purely secular in nature. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "A Heaven Like No Other"

Hello All,

This month I seem to be hesitant in keeping up to date this blog site with my original spiritual works. Perhaps the bah humbug spirit has struck me, however since I'm not the type of person to put up a Christmas tree, at least not since my youth. Many of the holiday festivities seem to pass me by when at home. Nonetheless I always make it a habit to give thanks in both the small and the greater occurrences in my life. Irrespective of a formalized religious traditions I keep God with all my mind, heart, and most of my actions.

Aside from this Holiday Season no matter the particular faith being celebrated. We are each stewards of the divine that we carry in our very souls. A divinity that has no bounds and overlaps into every sincere expression of our lives. One that binds us up together with God and whichever holy figure you choose to worship. Be it Savior, Saint, or Prophet all are welcome to be reflected upon equally in a deepening sense of a dear fulfillment of the spirit.

Today's "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement was written earlier this month. Standing at #1882 in the series on the topic of Heaven. How my Angels within describe the paradise of the soul as I describe their views. Enjoy.

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

Heaven:

1882) The afterlife no matter your religious persuasion in the world is a unique realm of immense glory filled possibilities. Not so much of the sheer amazing vista's perceived by every soul in heaven to be encountered. The array of heavenly lights as breathtaking as it is puts to shame all the combined art that has ever been created. No matter if it has been fashioned by every form of intelligent species within Creation itself. This splendor is natural beyond every contraption conceived and placed into any given form by the children of the cosmos.

Many have depicted heaven as a place of many mansions each as its own wondrous resort in practice. This is yet still a crude interpretation of such a pristine celestial paradise. Instead picture a natural fauna of a living rainforest within a shaded canopy of a bio-diversity of living souls each with their own habitat. An Eden like no other where everyone flourishes together in a united harmony in witness to God's inner beauty. Every scenery is alive not with make believe Imagined surroundings, but in a living self-aware purpose that is magnificent. This intelligence becomes a living life breathing aura in a meta sense we call God(dess). This celestial light is molded to our every whim as souls within heaven. Like a clay made of ethereal stuff ushered forth by our willful thoughts in themselves or in concert with the combined thoughts of many.

God, plays with us his children in heaven like any parent would with a toddler child. The play is both instructive and totally entertaining beyond any theme park could ever provide. Like children with over glazed eyes in amazement we listen as God speaks in melodic tones absorbed into our hearty souls. We are almost as in a magical trance of the senses where our questions come not at the end of his discourses, but all throughout. Such is the timeless nature of heaven allowing answers to all questions to come instantaneously. Akin to a telepathic neural connection in a commune like pupils arena.

Newly arrived souls from Creation be it in the physical universe or elsewhere of such semi-lucent beings. Receive a nurturing orientation to recall themselves fully before total immersion in the drunk tank of (im)mortal life. Once such an assimilation is complete often referred to as the "Hour of Judgment" by the multitude of mortal faiths. This serves the purpose of gleaning an infinite constructive impact by a compassionate truth for the betterment of every entity in heaven. For those unfortunate to descend into hell see this very same practice as a raping to be tortured by the denizens of such a perdition. Twisting the truth into a warped abomination to heckle and punish its recent inhabitants. However in Heaven all is meant for enlightenment so as to understand from all perspectives. For every life you've directly or indirectly have touched as a person not to sit in judgment of you but to set you free by grace. Your soul always continues to live spiritually to what it had done prior to your mortal incarnation. Regarding your eternal interests and joys as angelic like beings by every pursuit Imaginable. Amen.                                           ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

"Jewels of Truth" Reading From: The Wayfarer of the Soul, Volume 2

Holiday Greetings,

Tis the Season as they say. I've just returned a couple of days ago from my 2 week family hometown visit in Miami, Florida. At least for the American "Thanksgiving" holiday traditional period. I'll see if I can make up the missed "Gem of Opportunity" innovative concept for this past November. By posting two this month, at least I'll see if I can make it so...

I've also recently compiled Volume 3 of the "Jewels of Truth" series in complete manuscript form. Meaning since I write all my material in long hand I painstakingly pieced together all 365 spiritual wisdom statements for my next volume. Besides I've just spell checked the document. What's left at least on my end before it becomes published or self-published via iUniverse.com. Is that I proof read the composition of the text one final time and then begin putting the book into an A-Z format for easy reading. Since each of my volumes aren't ever in chapter form more so an A-Z format akin to a reference guide.

Aside from that update regarding Volume 3. Today's reading from Volume 2 "The Wayfarer of the Soul" is on the topics of Metaphysics at least how it relates to Reincarnation. As always I channel this material from my Angels as a host of holy souls using automatic writing. I do my best to keep my human ego out of the equation as I channel in written form.

May you find the topic I'm exploring today intriguing in how I present it to you my global readers.

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

Metaphysics:

Those of us who hold a strong belief in reincarnation usually tend to believe that it only corresponds to a past linear historical time period. Well it is more than just the past, it is also the present usually known as twin souls. Besides future incarnations of whatever order of life we become again in eternity.

Another incomplete perception is that a person believes that they are only related in a soul lineage to select individuals. This is not the case, we are related in terms of reincarnation and of oneness with God. For all living moments of the past, present, and future entities be it a speck of dust to other forms of life as souls. What this means is that you can not go ever beyond God nor yourself in the essence and substance of your soul. A soul has no borders in eternity it is both a localized phenomenon and a non-localized being as a living paradox. To awaken to this realization one begins to understand how to access the one holistic archive of life known as the "Mind of God(dess)". It is accessed via ones ethereal spirit using your intuitive faculties as if it were an open book. In turn one begins to assimilate this knowledge and wisdom with your other mortal five senses.

What can come forth is both awe inspiring or it can become horrific depending on what the person chooses to access by intention from the "Mind of God". It is both an inherent gift and a muscle to be developed like a skill. Such is the paradox into spiritual enlightenment as how many will evolve into ascended masters by grace. Or descended masters of horror by karma ushered by their personal intentions.

Fear not, all are cared for within the Holy Light. As they realize these realities by consistently discovering epiphanies with absolute love all around them. Much like a child in a wonderland of delight and grandeur. God welcomes all to reawaken by the graces of his promise of everlasting life, as an abundant journey back home to paradise. Amen.                                                              ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Hello All,

As now that the holiday season is entering full swing at least here in the States. With the American Thanksgiving holiday only 2 weeks away and the shoppers black Friday at retailers upcoming. Most families in the modern day society are being caught up with keeping households afloat economically speaking. The reasons are various and very few of them are avoidable lest things become worse rather than better from negligence.

So those of us in materialistic societies be it in the West or the burgeoning East should value people more than personal property. It's very easy for our human ego to mistake people as things by mistreating them. A slippery slope I hope no one is encountering right now. For people much like technology is making our lives further productive be that for better or for worse. Do not misplace your grace during these forthcoming holidays no matter your faith persuasion in the world.

Today's trio of spiritual wisdom statements in the series are on the topics of: Truth, Oneness, and Realization. #1057-1059 Enjoy them as always and may you find them practical as they are meant to enlighten, if not challenge us.

(*I'm also going to be on a family visit to my hometown in Miami, FL. Enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday and beyond for a couple of weeks. So I won't be able to update this blog site during that time. )

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

Truth:

1057) With truth comes responsibility. A responsibility that is not to be taken lightly nor belittled in its scope of the encounter at hand. Truth is meant to be described, to heal entirely, and to set free what it shall convey in its subject matter in question. A half truth is a half lie and misleading by the intention of the speaker or the witness that repeats it to others. A truth is both subjective and objective in its natural outlook of what it shall entail. Responsibility comes on the heels of how the truth is handled and with whom it shall or should be shared with others.

Withholding the truth can be an injustice depending on the reasons and justifications used. By keeping it hidden from those who need it or deserve to be with it in spirit. Suffering can only come from a truth that is mishandled by the subjective intent to manipulate others to your own unjust ends. Be careful not to become an accomplice to such an undoing of ill treatment of others. Over time it shall either numb your scruples or weigh so heavily on your heart you will need much healing to overcome in spirit.

Move with the truth followed by your convictions in tandem use by what you behold as sacred in life. Be it as a philosophical or spiritual difference it is all one and the same beauty of the mind. As you live in truth you shall be blessed by your reputation as a person of renowned character. Nothing short of grace can be more endearing to any man, woman, or child in life as a principle. Amen.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Oneness:

1058) We are all one within the true "Spirit of God" within our hearts, minds, bodies, and in the care of all the souls in manifest and ethereal Creation. If we dare to separate ourselves from this ultimate truth in a secular fashion. We stand to lose out from being wholeheartedly connected to the glory of God(dess) in our lives. We cheat ourselves and for a time become miserable not becoming aware of the wonders all around us. A divinity that awaits this acceptance of such a sublime benediction releases us from this world.

Be still and listen to your heart beating with the pulse of Life. That gives power to the stars and the heavens to shine so brightly. Do not just look to the sky for God, but indeed look within each others hearts and there you shall find your salvation. In this truth is the glory of God most assured in a united divinity that is both real and alive right now! Amen.
                                                                                           ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Realization:

1059) For a true realization to occur in one's mind it must also be felt in your heart. A realization can't have one without the other from being involved as a matter of consequence. For an intellectual realization alone is only a partial connection. It must have its companion within the emotional in order to seize a full realization. Especially when it comes to a culmination of a splendid epiphany. To realize an idea, concept, or a truth one must see it within the mind's eye. In order to feel it in your heart afterwards and be able to mold it with a justified reason.

Although a medley of realizations strung together like a chain can at times become confusing to the intellect and the emotional being. This is where patience must be sought after in earnest in order to meditate or contemplate upon the subject matter. All other thoughts become secondary until a revelation is shown by your sincere intent to learn and grow as a person without prejudice. A realization can be refreshing akin to an "Aha!" moment in its fullest delight. Or bury you further into more questions leading you elsewhere in thought. Enjoy your musings and be filled with wonder for each breakthrough affords you another encounter of self discovery.                                                                                                                        ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

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

In the time of your life, live so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the Infinite delight and mystery of it.                                                          ---William Saroyan. "The Time of Your Life"

Although we have been made to believe that if we let go we will end up with nothing, life reveals just the opposite; that letting go is the real path to freedom. ---Sogyal Rinpoche.  "Glimpse After Glimpse"

Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.                                                                      ---Carl Gustav Jung.

It is a powerful practice to be generous when you are the one feeling in need.                                                        ---Allan Lokos. "Through the Flames"

Jewels of Truth Statement: "Dare To Dream To Be The Greatest Creators"

Hello All,

I'm guilty of being a Dreamer myself although any designer of anything must be worth their salt using the faculty of Imagination. Although imagination in exclusion of everything else is a recipe for disaster. Using imagination one must filter self-awareness into a funnel of possibilities. In order to grow potentialities in the practical world to find a new lease on life. Meaning everything is a launch pad that can inspire a mind filled with idle wishes. These idle wishes become the kindling to cause a spark to turn into a roaring fire that only a designer or creator can bring to life. Integrity and teamwork with other cross disciplines will build character to make ideas real to the touch. Otherwise grand ideas and noble intentions go nowhere or worse are ignored as viable alternatives to solutions.

Today's "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement is on the topic of Dreamers. Numbered #1808 in the series and written back in late September of this year. It's meant for all the dreamers in the world to dream deeply, but to keep your lives real in the world. Allowing your spirits to reach the heavens but your humanity to stay vibrant in the world. Denial can be a costly mistake when such ignorance hurts or causes harm elsewhere to others.

Enjoy as always.

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

Dreamers:

1808) All dreamers are truly creators like God himself whom resides in heaven with their collective dreams. For they have bound them on the Earth for all time and so heaven remembers on their collective behalf. So all you day dream believers be mindful how you dare to dream bold visions of immense grandeur. For the Angels as your brothers and sisters in the "Holy Spirit" will take heed of your prowess to create wonders of all meaningful magnitudes.

Listen deeply fellow dreamers to experience the paradox of your best dreams as yourself. Live by a modest creed in a truth that isn't boastful, but actually humble of your strength to create wonders. Do keep your feet on the ground in this shared common world. However dream like the giants you are in God's spirit as far as you can envision by the faculty of your imagination. Temper this contradiction carefully of which I speak of with a benevolent faith in goodness. Wherever it appears around you especially from the most unlikely of places. Even if it appears boring as inane for what looks mundane may be the secret to your success. Only by the "Holy Spirit" can an ordinary observation trigger an "A Ha!" sensation to awaken the divine within us. With a simplicity so delightful that it is called genius by all others awe struck at ones acumen to see the world at large differently.

Make your foolish mistakes for this is how you learn from error. Do not ever be defeated by your mistakes or give up before you have fully started. This erodes more than that potential notion it weakens one's character to the point of apathy if left unchecked. Shrug it off, just confess your dreams and your heartaches to your guardian Angels in spirit. For they are your strongest confidants that will always have your back and never abandon you when you are in true need. Invite them into the process of your Imagination for this creates a personal relationship with the divine.

Lastly do not go overboard in your keen tendencies try to be calm and thorough with a sincere attitude of cooperation. All good things arrive for those that have the backbone to see them through to completion. Even if the results are different then as intended it will still teach you wonder through character if you keep an open mind and heart. Express all things in moderation especially keeping your egos at bay for no one respects a tyrant or a diva in principal. Be curious of everything but not to the point that you forget about your loved ones for this hurts your relationships that matter. Make a difference but doing so at the expense of others is a bastards short cut to a temporary success. Take the time as it is required and no more for that would invite complacency and procrastination.  Always seek an unconditional love within your inner truth as you find it in the world. Never seek another persons approval or acceptance for permission to be who you truly are in spirit. By these truths will you find your promise to create isn't just a privilege, but a divine right ordained by God for every living soul. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "We Are The Souls Of Yesterday, Born Today"

Hello All,

May every being be enjoying "All Souls Day" a Christian holiday in origin, but not limited just to Christians. For every being is a soul in God's Image and Likeness in spiritual form. As the embodiment of the "Holy Spirit" come alive in the flesh of humanity. Albeit the "Holy Spirit" does not restrict itself to humanity alone, but to every creature found therein the Earth and in the stars. So as to celebrate today as "All Souls Day" is to celebrate the ancestors becoming alive through God. Alive not merely in remembrance of our precious shared memories of dearly departed loved ones. But, to remember all souls as our mutual family of a macro of cherished memories become real through us. A simple prayer of gratitude for our elders come around in spirit to be enjoyed once more. For others further devout to the ancestors it is a tradition worth recalling in all that is precious. To remember the good in spite of the bad of mortal living. The rest we surrender to God to be forgotten and to be forgotten for good. Amen.

Today's "Jewels of Truth" statement is on the topic of Reincarnation numbered in the sequence of spiritual wisdom at #1852. Written just a few hours ago via inspiration through the technique of automatic writing as an intuitive. Although the statement takes us beyond reincarnation to remember why we came to this reality as eternal godly souls. Remember this clearly all the souls of God as his living children aren't paupers or peons metaphysically. We are in a macro sense gods and goddesses for the Absolute Alpha and Omega only creates deities in Spirit and nothing else. All the rest we see as Creation itself is the handiwork of all the souls as angelic in nature. Pristine as the first light known as God(dess). Amen.

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

Reincarnation:

1852) We as mortals or in other words a human being seemingly having a spiritual experience is amiss. Our divine nature as an embodied truth is always as spiritual beings having a human mortal experience as us. We can take the original statement above and invert it by explaining a sublime truth of reality by faith. In the absolute truth as God is the constant witness both statements above are simultaneously true and false in relativity.

Are you confused? Please, forgive me child for we in the "Holy Spirit" of God exist in a spiritual dimension where totality is experienced as "Both And". Not as "Either Or", meaning everything is true and false at the very same time metaphysically. It is truly disconcerting to the novice and very comforting as a second nature to the adept. Be they layman or mystic, as sage or fool to the ways of the eternal and the infinite.

We are the reincarnated souls as living spiritual beings in every reality be it mortal or as immortal. As Human beings only make up a finite subset of your physical cosmos. Chic as a boutique Creation, but not unheard of in other parts of the known universe. As spiritual entities we are all unformed essence by every comprehension immaculate without flaw. What this means is that God as the chief Creator only makes deities in his own Image and Likeness in spirit itself. It is up to his heirs to make all the rest as Creation itself like children in a sandbox enjoying a playpen. Reincarnation isn't just to learn our ABC's as eternal souls, but to create like God creates as far and wide as we please collectively. As mundane and extraordinary as imagined possible in heaven and within hell. No one is exempt from creating like God creates in essence and in substance to last forever.

We are the kings and the queens of the heavens and the hells. We are the gods and goddesses of yore as yourselves become flesh not as parasites, but as beauty itself in your own reincarnated substance. We are you and you are us. Meaning every creature from the microbe to the great "Himalayas" has a soul. In order to create like God we who are the minor deities must become Less Than through reincarnation. Akin to test our creations so they stand the test of the moment, and if it indeed does, it is deployed out unto eternity and infinity. We are the artists and the engineers of heaven and hell as the absolute become self realized as souls and mortals. Whenever you witness an insect crawling along the floor. Take heed that is a minor god in the "Holy Spirit" testing out his latest creation out of a masters curiosity. Strike it down as a mortal and generate a mortals karma. However let it be and receive grace from God himself instantly as true love. No one is left out from understanding that has the choice to remember the divine. Namaste, dear ones for we are the reincarnated ancients souls of yesterday come back today and tomorrow forever and ever. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Student Loans Industry Prediction / Commentary : "The Looming Student Loan Crisis"

Hello All,

It's that time of the month I usually share a "Gem of Opportunity" for you to reflect upon. However this time its not I plying an innovative conceptual design for you to mull over. I have in past years offered up predictions surrounding: future inventions regarding dental hygiene, hidden American Naval Installations, the distant future healthcare industry in America, including the Great Generation 2.0 of Americans who are now children living in poverty in the shadow of this "Great Recession".

Today I stick my neck out once more hoping to God I've misread the signs and have misinterpreted my intuition. I rather be gladly wrong than get this prediction correct regarding America's Next Financial Crisis. Our next American recession will be surrounding the Student Loans financial industry. Which is now underwritten by $1 Trillion dollars by the Federal Government and climbing for the stratosphere. The last estimated figure heard in the news here in the States a couple of weeks ago. Was data from October 2011 placing America at $1.2 Trillion Dollars. One trillion dollars underwritten by the Federal government via the private lending institutions (ie banks). The other couple hundred million dollars as unsecured private financing which is: personal lines of credit, HELOC (Home Equity Lines of Credit) loans, 529 State Funding Plans, retirement account loans, etc...

Here's an article from the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) in the Federal Government set up during the 1st term of the Obama Administration. The article is dated from last year in July 17th, 2013. Student Debt Swells, Federal Loans Now Top A Trillion Dollars (Link)

I've lived about 40 years on planet Earth here in America so far. In my human experience nearly every decade of my mortal existence there has been a recession led by greed, negligence, incompetence, and plain ugly corruption. In the 1970's it was the 1973 Oil Crisis and the 1973 / 1974 Stock Market Crash, in the late 1980's the "Savings and Loans Crisis", the late 1990's and early 2000's it was the Dot Com Boom and subsequent Bust, and in the last quarter of 2007 the "Great Recession". I'm a Generation X by birth here in America, as they say X marks the spot. :o) Americans enter into selective amnesia every decade acting like innocent lambs when an economic crisis of our collective making occurs. When we are the hardcore bogeymen of the world as the only super power until that is the Chinese catch up.

Below is a pictorial Image courtesy of "The Wall Street Journal" showcasing 2012 values of the types of student loans.

Right now I foresee 4 Types of Asset Bubbles confronting Americans today in late 2014. First, the aforementioned $1.2 Trillion dollars of Student Loans from numbers of October 2011 (as the latest data sets). Second, Tech Firm valuations during M&A (Merger and Acquisitions) activity when technological firms merge. The most famous recently was when "Mr. Marc Zuckerburg" of Facebook paid for "WhatsApp" at the $16 Billion price tag. It started the reincarnation of the Dot Com asset bubble paying on future hyped performance commercially for something that may or may not ever happen. Other tech firms have followed suit in Facebook's example and that is a dangerous trend indeed. Third, auto sub-prime loans much like what started the housing crisis of the "Great Recession". More sub-prime loans for automobile paper is on the rise, didn't we learn our lesson already? Finally the fourth asset bubble I foresee is that of Sports League Team Owners looking for municipal bond tax payers. To go onto a bloody meat hook so they can build themselves a shiny brand new stadium. Cities like Tampa, Florida are still paying off the last stadium and don't have the stomach hearing about a new stadium. These Team Owners of whatever sports league can do the financing themselves they're just looking for State / Local government welfare handouts.

Our Federal Congress of legislators have done patch work reforms to lower interest rates for Student Loans. Such as the "Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013" tying it to the 10 year Treasury Note for the life of each individual loan. (Source: Aug. 1st, 2013 U. S. News & World Report) (Link) President Obama also took Executive Action with the "Pay As You Earn" existing Federal student loan program. By expanding it to cap at 10% of a student's income which after 20 years time with the loan a portion can be forgiven. (Source: The Chronicle.com June 9th, 2014) (Link)

I still personally suspect this may vent some of the steam from this pressure cooker, but not enough. It may be too little, too late. I'm no professional in the financial industry, however take it as face value from a spiritual intuitive aka an "Oracle Imagineer". This is a prediction that in 2 to 3 years time we're over due for our next American economic recession. Remember every decade of life I've had on this Earth there's been an economic meltdown in America. Our last one was 7 Years Ago in the last quarter of 2007 for the "Great Recession". We're due for our pound of flesh to be paid by the aforementioned criteria of human: negligence, incompetence, greed, and corruption.

Speaking of corruption regarding the student loans industry the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) I mentioned above. Seeks $500 Million dollars from a law suit against "Corinthian Colleges,Inc." It's a for-profit college that services 74,000 students with private loans with fraud in overly expensive tuition rates, advertising bogus job prospects and career services at graduation, and illegal debt collection practices to strong arm students. (Source CFPB Sept. 16th, 2014) (Link)

Right now we're swimming in the wild wild west of for-profit colleges and universities be they online only or otherwise. Playing with students fast and loose with their higher education career needs. Not until the financial tide goes back to sea. Will we notice all the naked swimmers as predators and criminals preying on unsuspecting students. Just like when the credit industry dried up during the "Great Recession" crooks like Mr. Bernie Madoff were discovered with their fraudulent schemes.

This is a partial chain of events I foresee as happening when the "Student Loan Crisis Strikes" in 2 to 3 years time. Remember the last "Great Recession" happened during the last year of the Bush Administration in America. The "Student Loan Crisis" may very well begin during the last year of Obama's Administration. An eerie trend n'cest pas? First, the student loan default rates will begin to climb month after month due to excessive interest rates on the loans. Indicators will be from the major banks and lenders servicing students such as: Sallie Mae, Citi Student Loans, Wells Fargo Education Financial Services, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase. To name a few. Whereby many colleges and universities will begin climbing on tuition rates nationally across America. The first line of victims will be the for-profit colleges & universities online enterprises followed by their bricks and mortars brethren having their stock market prices plummet. Next the 529 State Plans used as funding sources will deplete ahead of time due to changes in tuition rates in most funding plans. Colleges and University campus will start to trim the low performing baccalaureate programs from their curriculum. Next non-essential staff and unfilled vacancies will be trimmed from the school budget. School Maintenance budgets will also see their planned dollars cut drastically.

However that is only triage before the patient of higher learning in American begins to really hemorrhage as a patient. After the for-profit educational entities bite the bullet next comes public state colleges and universities to follow. Satellite campus locations will start to see their hours of operation shortened until they're furloughed completely. Forcing undergraduate and graduate students to commute to the main campus instead. When this damage control ceases to work for campuses then the core undergraduate or graduate programs will be curtailed as offerings. Delaying graduation dates for students that's if the next semester inflated tuition rates doesn't do them in eventually. University and College student body marches and protests will start to be televised on the news wire across the country. Those students fortunate to have parents in America's top 10% as the multi millionaires will go unaffected by all this turmoil. Otherwise non Ivy League endowment giving will start to see a noticeable drop from philanthropists. Value added supply chain corporations that rely on Universities will start to see diminished orders or non-renewals of their contracts. (ie Text Book makers, Sub-contracted labor on campuses, other logistical services)

Savvy American students will start to consider International English speaking countries such as: Great Britain, the Caribbean nations, Australia, South Africa, Canada, and New Zealand. As alternative destinations for their higher education scholastic needs. This begs the question if American Universities abroad start to feel the pinch as well in funding of their operations? Will the Student Loan Crisis as a financial lending contagion spread to Europe, Asia, or elsewhere internationally? Certainly niche as smaller traditional woman colleges and those servicing Afro-Americans will also see a harsh impact to their campus with any offered curriculum.

We won't know 2014's actual Student Loan numbers until October 2017. By that time is when I foresee this crisis beginning the point of no return. Until that is the Federal government steps in like they did in 2008 with the "Great Recession". Bailing out the banks and other assorted money student loan lenders like "Sallie Mae". Not until another round of a fire sale of some lending institutions brokered by the Federal government in part being sold off before a full bankruptcy. America will only learn years after the fact the ugliness that reared its head just as we're pulling out from our lost decade from 2007. The U.S. government as the chief underwriter may force banks to slash most to all interest rates just to collect the principle loan amounts as payment scheme installments. Since "The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005" written by special interest groups for legislators that sold out Americans. Whereby all qualified education loans regardless of whether a nonprofit institution was involved in issuing the student loans. Can Not Be Forgiven this includes even Social Security beneficiaries as senior citizens or the disabled getting their government welfare checks garnished. (Source: NY Times, Sept. 12th, 2014) (Link)

The Federal Government will be staring down if Usury rates and fees can even be collected. Making it sound more like a form of "Sharia Compliant Finance" operation as conducted by many Muslim nations abroad. Wikipedia: "Usury" Definition (Link) Dare I say "Brace for Impact for the Pigs are Flying"! It's only a matter of time in my opinion and not a matter of "If" that will whip lash America with our next recession. My money or suspicion is it'll be with the "Student Loan Crisis".

Again allow me to reiterate this is my intuition firing off since I personally foresaw the "Great Recession" one full year before it happened. I didn't know squat about the derivative lending global market which led to the housing mortgage crisis. I simply called them "Voo Doo Mortgages" not knowing any better from my own ignorance of the total dynamics at play. Now time will tell in 2 to 3 years time if I was on the mark as X marks the spot. (Generation X'er here) Or if I'm completely an ass talking up my back side regardless of these obvious meta concerns I'm intimidated by in principle by my convictions.

"Jewels of Truth" Reading From: The Wayfarer of the Soul, Volume 2

Hello All,

In about a weeks time it'll be "Halloween"! I'll be wearing myself as I have for several years now, lol. I haven't worn a costume since I was a juvenile I suppose. How ghoulish of me. :op Well enough of the puns.

Today's reading from my 2nd book in the "Jewels of Truth" series is on the topic of Persistence. In many ways any Innovator in the world past, present, and future worth their hydrated salt. Needs to balance their use of persistence in a cadence that makes sense to themselves and their associates. Otherwise like many projects there is a zest right out of the gate. Until motivation drops that's where the bottlenecks and the schedules start to appear by pushing backwards an agenda. When persistence starts to become forced that's when mindful surrender does not cost a loss of momentum. In order to find a workaround from any perceived or real obstacles encountered along the way. It goes without saying an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of medicine in the long run.

Enjoy as always.

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

Persistence:

A steadfast persistence always goes hand in hand with the fulfillment of our desired intentions. However this persistence I speak of also needs moderation so as to flourish into our eventual goal or objective that we seek in earnest. Otherwise one can lose focus and balance by over extending ourselves in a forced manner. That warps us from our true desired wants and our dreams. An inner poise is crucial especially when we begin to doubt our resolve. This doubt is no friend of yours, but only fear based ills that are preexisting that you harbor. Do not feed them with attention, for if you do you shall continue to spoil your promise to yourself, and if not onto others you care about.

Maintain a self discipline that is honest knowing your boundaries. When one loses focus it begins by over doing one thing or another to the point of a sheer madness of micro management. Allowing yourself to breathe and "Let Go" of the tiny details. Only to concern yourself of the "Big Details" and let the rest work itself out in its natural order. Like a loaf of bread in the oven the yeast within your plan will take hold and grow. Do not fuss like a over zealot maternal figure. Be still and watch how like an astute parent you watch your dream or goal blossom into maturity. This is but one path to self-fulfillment under the sun.                                                                       ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Hello All,

It's that period of the month where I share another trio of "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statements. This month of October's statements is the series of #1054-1056. The topics are on: Vision, Character, and on Faith itself in a very general sense elements of our grace come alive. This October we often celebrate the once pagan holiday of "All Hollow's Eve" as the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice otherwise known in Scottish Gaelic origins as "Samhain". In Western Christianity its respectfully two back to back holidays of "All Souls Day" on October 31st. and "All Saints Day" on November 1st of the year.

Our grace is paramount not just on particular events in our pivotal lives, but throughout every waking and sleeping moment in our lifetimes as people. All of this harkens back to a time when the Holy was sought out on purpose. At least to remind us of our sacred origins spiritually as divine beings in union with the Creator God. So as I share today's spiritual wisdom statements try to envision the unity we all share beyond our humble national and cultural origins. Amen.

Enjoy as always in the spirit of goodwill.

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

Vision:

1054) Where there is a vision the people will come forward with convictions. Why will they come to such a place of trust upon those that will lead them onward for the sake of participation?

The initial reasons will be myriad in practice and in philosophy to be sure. Mostly its for assurance to alleviate any misgivings if not to improve ones stature with incentives. The overall general direction dictates to a person if not an entire institution its promise to achieve accountable results. Whereby goals become objectives mapped out in order to reach milestones on a near realistic time table. As the desires of the leaders and the results are held in higher esteem than the workers or followers. Each ones passion may be astute as to the errors or down right screw ups when visions are laid down as ill prepared actions. There is never a guarantee when plans meet with unexpected consequences. Only the prepared and the nimble are the ones to excel in spite of dire challenges to be had in results.

All communication must always be clear and concise as circumstances dictate. To avoid break downs and plain confusion all down the chain of command. Neglect of this causes misery if not inexcusable investments to be misspent if not lost in do turn. When a vision becomes a failure is when the planning is sub par or incompetent in nature as to the degree of the tasks involved. Any organization that becomes complacent seeking not the best outcome is doomed right outside the gate in the beginning. Seeking only to get by versus to fully succeed sets one up for mediocre results as the status quo is all but assured. This becomes a failure of leadership and thus the doubling of efforts in leveraged outcomes is paired downwards. This will inherently reveal weak spots in the structural guise of shared responsibilities of the duties involved. Where layer after layer of subsequent planning starts to unravel requiring much needed damage control.

This is where morale of any the followers will begin to question every iota of required actions be they true or not. Such second guessing delays the spirit of the project much less the accomplishment of the tasks by persons dragging their feet instead. The superficial will give up and the die hard will be left holding the bag with atrocious turn over in labor and subsequent overrun costs of resources. Thus guard yourselves from such complacency at the very onset of every vision making sure you have trusted persons in key positions. To shake out any wrinkles much less disruptive malcontents to the morale of ones outfit. Keep an eye out for those that lack scruples by trumping those in their charge by their lust for greed and/or power by the influence it gives them. Otherwise the aforementioned debacles will flare up without a proper comprehension why its occurring in principle.

Seek the promise of a robust vision with a well laid plans in a timely executed methodology. Where your forth coming days will indeed be brighter and prosperous. Due to your consideration of where you or your organization is headed in truth by mutual participation.
                                                                                     ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Character:

1055) The first line of benevolence is courage and the last act of goodness is love. The greatest of these is followed by truth in all her endeavors in principle and in practice. Having strength over oneself and over others is indeed shallow if not filled with a righteous conviction in life. After "Pandora's Box" was opened what came forth spewed onto Creation all manner of disgust and torment. The last defense trapped as perhaps their prisoner was "Hope" herself. If one goes onward into extremes one will undoubtedly come across its other extreme camp on the opposite end.

This life is a complete revolving circle perplexing even the gods as to its infinite depths of grace and horror to be experienced. Thus a remarkable faith lived in moderation sets one apart from the extremists spewing hatred and their vile judgements. Otherwise foolishness will seem reasonable albeit it soon becomes apparent that it is truly disastrous in nature. Those that follow fools may not come out of life unscathed by the misery to follow I tell you. Vigilance is the cousin to prudence in being aware of when to listen and when to speak and when to truly act in good faith. Awaken you that hold the chalice of wisdom to your minds and hearts only to pour forth the life of God into you. Yield to humility when practicing your strength lest you harm the intent of your desires. Live in a real fashion but do so with inner grace that soon becomes a blessing that hope becomes verily manifested before your very eyes. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Faith:

1056) All is possible within God because God lives in the realm of the eternal unlimited potentiality. Only through him can we give form to the Infinite through our needs and wants. If we indeed are sincere by such a practice of living then our actions will be blessed by being in accord with the "Will of God". Prayer is often the instrument to affect the greatest change within our spirits. Not to mold the ethers alone but to transcend our mortal limitations giving full credence to our shared divinity instead. Practicing a faith without benevolence makes the worshiper hollow even if one disagrees against the theology of another religion out of hand. Judge not a foreigners religion instead educate yourselves in all the holy and beautiful wisdom their sacred texts have discovered. Aside from the differences in dogma, traditions, and cultural celebrations in total. Be curious in fine details in order to empower your sense of becoming inclusive with the presence of God found in another people.

God is majestic by orders of magnitude that dwarf our understanding. Be humble instead of persecuting foreigners of a different religion, spiritual practice, or philosophical tradition. Welcome them as your divine siblings in all that is hospitable in loving attitude. Even if you don't embrace their customs out of curiosity alone. Just accept their presence in life as God(dess) has accepted you as his or her own creation unconditionally in true love. Amen.
                                                                                       ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.
                                                                                                    ---1 Corinthians 13:4-5

Trust yourself; you know more than you think you do. ---Benjamin Spock.

Anyone can find fault. It is the wise person who finds that which encourages another in the turmoils and strife's of the day. ---Edgar Cayce, Reading 1449-2

The same pain that can blemish our personality can act as a creative force, burnishing it into an object of delight. ---Pir Vilyat Inayat Khan.  "Alchemical Wisdom"

Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.

You have made me so rich, oh God, please let me share out your beauty with open hands.
                                                                        ---Etty Hillesum.  "Letters from Westerbork"

As servants of God, live as free people, yet do not use your freedom as a pretext for evil.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "Where Love and Fear Come From In Spiritual Origins"

Hello All,

Tonight's "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement is on the topic of "Heaven and Hell". Written in the series as #1810 back in late September of this year. The topic consists more so of the energetic vibration of our souls as it shifts from realm to realm within the totality of God himself. For as God is multidimensional in being so are we as made in his Image and Likeness as eternal souls ourselves. This ethereal energy resides wherever we place our utmost attention or intention upon in spirit. We naturally channel this force or emotion as human beings having power like no other known to us in this one life. This power is not our own in origin it all belongs to God. We are merely conduits by our free will to enact such a shift of attitude or vibration of being alive as souls.

So my topic of tonight is regarding how the origin of all Love in principle. Be it conditional or unconditional in essence has its birth in heaven in a timeless fashion. Although for one to be true in a positive nourishing sense the opposite is true as well at least metaphysically. In that all Fear again conditional or unconditional in spirit alone is from hell itself in a auric sense. This is why to focus on Perfect Love to cast out all fear that is destructive in nature. Like the very renewal of our souls in the constant truth that is the total essence of God(dess). Amen.

Enjoy, although its a challenge to accept without some spiritual reconciliation on your eternal journey as souls having a human experience.

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

Heaven and Hell:

1810)  In every metaphysical reality there is a contrast of what is deemed as right and wrong in the principle of godly truth. Meaning what is truly paradise as heaven and what is torturous as a living self-imposed hell in all spiritual matters. To begin with justice as the expression of fairness in all things makes us noble beings extending the hand of God in benevolence. To all others that do not share such a spirit of goodwill out of confusion or plain wicked tendencies. There is God's forgiveness that is absolute in all divine realities. However with forgiveness comes the truest release of all shame and guilt within one's former enslaved spirit in essence and substance.

Not all is how it seems to your limited five mortal senses. When the spiritual realities expands such an awareness if faith becomes real to the entity. Then the question becomes where does love and fear come from as a metaphysical principal? Is it made by God, is it made by our souls, is it made as a chemical reaction in our human biology? The answer is universally "Yes" to all the above for it is all one reality we call God the majestic Creator.

In order to reiterate such a comprehension basically every spiritual force or power is based upon two polar opposite camps of "Love and Fear". What this means beyond the biology of our mortal minds and aside psychology itself. Metaphysically in union for what has preceded it in divine truth. When Love is called forth as a force and as an identical emotion. It happens outside of time and space as God is outside time and space himself. We experience the timely and eternal in one fell swoop without conscious awareness as spirits. For Love and Fear are real constant streams of God's own power in spiritual expression. When we land upon the emotion of love or fear we trigger such an expression by instinct or choice. It is like dipping our cups into a mighty river and consuming its contents immediately spiritually speaking.

So all Love in Creation is from Heaven as God is our witness right Now! So it is with Fear in Creation is likewise from Hell as God is our witness right Now! It is a disturbing thought in metaphysical awareness as mortal souls. However it isn't far fetched as a barbarous mortal species powers itself on fear that has its origin in hell. Murder, slaughter, wars on Earth have all been channeled by the power of Hell itself metaphysically. As peace, compassion, and love given to each other, the creatures therein, and the planet itself comes from Heaven instantly. As total examples of this spiritual power at work in all the lives of all of God(dess) as within all the souls of Creation. Amen.                                                                  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "Why God Is Neutral Amongst Us"

Hello All,

I've finally gone and done it! :0)

Tonight I have finished in long hand mind you Volume 5 of the "Jewels of Truth" series. Meaning I've finally completed my 1,825th spiritual wisdom statement and its only taken me 19 years since starting in the year 1995. Tonight I have also started Volume 6 with statement #1826 on this Oct. 6th day of the year. So this has nothing to do with Nero thankfully, quite the opposite in fact of all benevolence. Albeit that coincidence doesn't escape me with my angel guides in tow spiritually speaking.

However I'm currently at 330 statements added onto my 3rd Volume manuscript draft. Once I reach the magic number of 365 I start to begin organizing it into book form. Just giving you my readers a heads up. Since If I'm talking about volumes five and six without volume three being published yet. Quite the back log any publisher would have a headache with an author. Not my problem since I'm freelance right now without a professional publisher.

Today's statement has used metaphor although read into it what you will if it be truth or simply figurative as an illustration. I meant or channeled the statement from my angelic guides as is. It can be considered controversial although it does in simplicities sake explain in a concise fashion. Why God is neutral as the "Great Witness" in all of our lives.

Enjoy, may you find it enlightening if not challenging as you awaken spiritually. Amen.

God:

1823)  Many have asked why God is neutral in happenstance while I suffer in the world? And, many an atheist has mocked the faithful; "Stating why such a perfect loving Creator God abandons you to your suffering"? As the worshiper struggles to answer such a basic question in fullness for a moment. Otherwise a tepid response is given that it is our free will at work to fully experience good and evil in life. It is for the faithful to find their own path back to God as a whole as they struggle and as they achieve glory with him.

I say to the seeker of faith and to the atheist alike that the "God of gods" is the "Great Witness". Not on a puffy cloud in an obscure heaven overlooking Creation like an aloof distant king. He, She, It resides in each of us as the "Ancient One" or the soul of us all. Be we faithful and atheist alike in the "Holy Spirit" of God himself. God, became the neutral observer by having a great clash and annihilation with his internal forces of good and evil. Both as his purest self in essence of all that is true and pure. Many in Christianity would recall the mythological Great Battle with Satan. It is for all spiritual matters under heaven and hell a distant memory of our soulful heritage. A vestige so powerful that it has become a legend unto itself told as a cautionary tale. Albeit in the retelling after the eons it continues to be diluted away from its original grace in occurrence.

Pure good and pure evil stood toe to toe as both selves or identical halves of God himself. Much as we are both capable of good and evil within each of us in life. After much struggle the eternal battle of good versus evil as the fairy tale fallacy told to all. It was God whom merged on purpose pure good and pure evil to cause an effect of annihilation as two opposing forces. So in our spiritual reality both heaven and hell are in neutral harmony with the other without any harm of the fallacy of angels battling demons. After such an ancient clash before time ever became created as a dimension of being their was the void. Some call this period the real oblivion before Creation itself but they are mistaken. For Oblivion is a warped lie spake by those whom misunderstood or sought out to confuse on purpose despite the truth. For shortly after such a void as the after glow of those two forgotten halves of God's pure essence. Came a wondrous almost magical miracle deemed as perfection of what was lost appearing as the Great Void. Became the "Great Paradox" instead as one of the very first enshrined divine laws in heaven and hell and every Creation thereafter. Otherwise known to all as the Absolute.

Thus to this eternal day and night as only a memory of our godlike recollection does our soul retains this memory from the mind of God himself. That after the great clash of pure good and evil. Came the all consuming nothing the void as Oblivion. After the blinking of an eye a total instant a flash of not even a full second of time like no other dilation of a continuum came the Absolute I Am That I Am! As the simultaneous phenomena that God(dess) is both nothing and everything as a bi-lateral expression of being dynamically alive! When good and evil cancels out each other all there is in life is Neutrality as the "Great Witness" as the God of all hosts. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Gaming Movie Theater Industry Concept: "Gaming Theater Arena"

Hello All,

Now that the soggy autumn season has gripped my part of the State of Florida. This conceptual business model seems quite appetizing for an indoor experience away from local thunder storms.

Allow me to begin that this concept isn't rather new for its been tried before be it here in the States or in Europe. Making it more an afterthought novelty experience then a serious attraction within a movie theater complex. Before I get ahead of myself allow me to explain in basic terms what a "Gaming Theater Arena" is all about. Besides watching the latest movie flick at the cinema a few rows of seating can be converted to gaming hardware seating kiosks.

Take for instance how an airliner passenger seats have those rear head board LCD tv screens in business and first class sections. Besides the classical fold up tray for eating or placing your laptop during a flight. Now borrowing from that example from airlines transfer it over to a Branded Experience. As a gaming arena in a movie theater screen salon that to keep seats filled. This option is picked up for local movie theater operators during those seasonal periods where block buster films are lacking. Let's say the Spring and Fall portions of the year when box office sales are waning. Perhaps taking a page from how IMAX 3D branded experiences are offered in literally across every movie theater operator today across America, Europe, and beyond. This concept can be directed as an augmented business model for movie theaters if not for a stand alone franchise chain of gamer theater arena's. That is after the initial prototype of its first iteration works out the kinks and glitches with the daily operations and technological hurdles.

Now back to the overall presentation picturing (pun intended) the photo above of any standard movie theater screening room salon. Whereby the photo just above this paragraph showcasing these airliner passenger rear top head board LCD monitor screens. Just cut and paste that image to every rear seating row of a movie theater screening room salon. All synced in visual display in whats being presented on the big projector screen itself. These seats have the option to mute the local monitor volume if they so choose. Especially if gamers are wearing a headset microphone accessory. (As a rental or personally brought in to use) Since these games to be played aren't just played locally but On the Cloud.

Present day "Onlive.com" is a similar cloud based gaming platform for PC / Mac / Tablet / Smartphone gamers and their propriety video game console. Account holders with Onlive.com (Link) can unlock particular game titles to play solo or cloud based multiplayer games. Today's movie theaters as a novelty like I stated earlier have Xbox 360 Parties like at this Cineplex Theater Chain (Link) operator offers today.  What I'm describing here is far more sophisticated than that which can include the Oculus VR Helm (Link) as a rental accessory for gamers. So instead of playing your cloud based game on yesterdays 2D flat screen. Play it with a 3D virtual reality helmet that hooks up to the under the seat kiosk hardware.

Speaking of the seating itself it'll have a Rumble Pack built into the seat. Like any present day video game console handset controller offers. Maybe if the movie theater chain operator wants all the bells and whistles. They could splurge on a Scent Emitter housed again under the seat itself. Even the recent Xbox One from Microsoft spent over $100 million dollars just to do research and development on the hand controller. Of which they explored having a built-in projector with a olfactory output scent emitter. Polygon.com Xbox One Hand Controller Explored Having A Scent Emitter (Link, Article date Nov. 19th, 2013)

Continuing about hand controllers these gamer arena seating can have one or two configurations of input game controllers. Most common at the end of each armchair will be a one hand controller with recessed buttons and a joystick. Durable for the punishing treatment gamers are known to dish out on arcade kiosks or video game consoles. Or two that aforementioned fold down tray like a airliner passenger rear seating. When folded down showcases a keyboard and a stationary trackball and not a mouse which needs constant movement. I swear personally as an old school MMO (Massively multiplayer online game) and FPS (First person shooter) multiplayer gamer with my Logitech Marble Trackball Mouse. Aiming in a shooter be it PvE (Player versus environment) or PvP (Player versus player) is essential for me with the fine precision of rolling a trackball with one or two fingers. None of that drama with scrolling mice across a mouse pad. Aside from my decade long testimonial of a trackball for gaming purposes.

Business operation wise if theater arena gaming does take off. Much like the movie studios pay for the marketing of movies with national commercial trailers for movie goers. Game publishers can do in kind promoting new games like they usually do but with a focus to be played in such arena theaters for gamers. Gamers attending such a retrofitted movie theater by a local operator can be issued member ID cards. Where game time can be purchased on site or in advance sorta like using time on a desktop computer at an Internet Cafe. Account holders can also have particular games including MMO ones unlocked via the Cloud gaming platform. All offered by the cloud games catalog library of whatever is on sale or fully priced.

To encourage a local community of gamers such a movie theater operator can promote local clans and guilds to organize. Offering tournaments, prize promotions ala contests and sweepstakes (games from their cloud library, cash, accessories for the theater arena, trips to a Comic-Con, etc...), even gamer fund raiser marathons for a local or national charity. Which if the movie theater operator could go as far finding corporate or local small business sponsors for the charity event that cater to such a demographic.

Many of today's multiplex movie theater chains have back-up concession stands that are rarely used. Perhaps if a mega blockbuster movie showing is occurring. Otherwise that space goes unused for months at a time. How about opening up a Gamer Theater Arena gift shop in such a floor space. Catering to servicing the accounts of such a branded experience besides selling merchandising and accessories or rentals (ie Oculus VR helms) to gamers. Which will mean having a sales customer service clerk on site besides at least one technical staffer. To deal with any hiccups of glitching equipment in the screening salons of the arena's.

This is how I envision such a "Gaming Theater Arena" taking shape for a local movie theater operator. Or if indeed a stand alone series of such arena's are created. As IMAX first started in a piece meal fashion taking years before becoming popular. These gamer theater arena's will also Revolutionize the Dead Arcade Industry of the 20th century business model. Where gamers can play solo, local or online multiplayer via the cloud gaming platform, and certainly massively multiplayer online games networked via the Internet. Maybe an exclusive deal can be made with a particular game publisher ala Microsoft, Sony, or Electronic Arts for instance. In helping to defray the marketing costs and playing their games exclusively via the cloud game infrastructure platform.

Here's hoping the future is here now since the technology for this already exists. Just the vision and the cajones to pull it off is lacking. Since companies like "Audience Entertainment" (Link, Techcrunch.com article link of Aug. 21st, 2014) are highlighting a SDK (Studio Development Kit). For movie goers or music concert attendees to be a macro motion sensor input for commercials and basic games with interactive media.
