Jewels of Truth Statement: "The Children As Natural Healers"

Hello All,

Today's "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement is on the topic of Children. This entry is #1923 in the series written in mid-February last month. It touches upon three points of why children are important to the human spirit in maintaining our youthful attitudes to a degree. This statement goes deeper explaining how it is always the heirs of this world that often attempt to heal past divisions within a society at large. Lastly the upbringing of the children is of greatest concern so we make them not into hateful people when they come of age.

Always cherish the children for they are our embodiment unto the world and a reflection of our living souls unto God himself.

Enjoy the statement as always and may you reflect deeply always in your personal truths. Amen.

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

Children:

1923) The proxy of the fabled "Fountain of Youth" that Conquistador "Ponce de Leon" so feverishly sought in the New World. Was for himself and for God fearing Spain in the annals of history do we recall such an event. This is the stuff of folklore and legend misconstrued as attributed to fact. This is when inflated tales take on a life of their own in the world. Albeit if such a fountain of youth ever did exist it is long since gone or lost to the ages.

So the next best substitute at least in a spiritual sense of finding youth. Is to willingly associate with the young from toddlers up into young adults in their prime of life. What this offers is known to every grand parent that is involved in the life of their grand children personally. By allowing a refreshing window of abundant innocence to pour into their very surroundings. What this does is often widening the expanding horizons of the near jaded to the world. The living spirit of youth is infectious with a well meaning positive change to be usually embarked upon in life. Often it has rather healed the wounds of the fore fathers that have hated more than forgiven other groups of people within a society.

Be willing to find the Imagination alive coupled with a nourishing Inspiration amongst the youth of all ages in spirit. They are often the heirs and the greater harbingers of things to come in the world at large. Potentially taking humanity into the stars one distant age from now. To be built upon the efforts of our children's children that shall first attempt to tame our solar system.

Remember metaphysically our souls are eternally young without age as a metric of time whatsoever. What denotes age akin to mortals in the spiritual heavens is truly maturity of character in the essence of each soul. The greatest illumination of heaven is found in the children of every species, and not singularly just within humanity itself.

Be mindful as caregivers and mentors to the following generations in the footsteps of our ancestors. They will want to repeat our mistakes of this era, make sure they avoid the atrocities of every generation before them in time. Knowing full and well why such travesty is evil to the very soul of our species. Unless they jump headlong into such misery out of error and arrogance that may last a century or more in misgivings and hateful retaliations.

Discipline is good and so is compassionate wisdom filled with respectful instruction to all whom are willing to listen. However as with all things important in life best to be served fully in the allotment of moderation only. Too much of either discipline or compassion taken out of balance and one creates either a monster or a brat in life. Which ever comes first will declare the erroneous upbringing of a child into an eventual adult if God is willing. Amen.                                                                                  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

Today's trio of "Jewels of Truth" statements were written back in late December 2009 and early January 2010. Number #1003 was written before the "Like" phenomena took the world by storm via Facebook. So today's topics are on: Liking, Life, and Children. In the series of #1003-1005.

As always may you find them interesting, enjoyable, insightful, if not challenging to your own beliefs and values in life.

Thank you.

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

1003) When you are liked by someone else in life be it a person, or a dear pet. You have been given a sacred honestly genuine gift from the heart of the giver. One to be either accepted as either a delight or scorned capriciously with disdain. Being "Liked" is a form of early affection, whether it is between acquaintances, friends, and/or potential lovers. How one responds to such a gift of becoming "Liked" is the difference of acceptance or rejection of the kind act, if not otherwise very selfish gesture. It is all based on the intention of the giver. Is it sincere or tied with lengthy strings of ulterior motivations in order to gain favor by means of subterfuge?

Acceptance of the affection of being liked is paramount of a start of a potential friendship about to take hold. The quality of such a friendship is dependent on what is invested into it. How fair is the relation or otherwise balanced in enjoying each others company. An outright rejection that dismisses any early offers of becoming liked can be one of several instances. The first is very plain a not interested nor having anything to do with you in any future personal connection. The next instance is the opposite gender wants you to prove your worth with strings attached. In earning their affection socially speaking be it in courtship. Or with either gender out of some heavily negotiated business proposal out of mutual convenience.

Thus the gift of the heart by offering acceptance in liking another person surely is a thing of beauty and truthfulness. It is the foundational stone that many later stronger relationships can be built from in all reality. The vanguard emotion to a forthcoming dignity and respect placed on full display for each to partake of earnestly. Always beware of what is genuine appreciation and what is otherwise a selfish tactic of exploitation. By tricking someone's sensibility for another's gain at your expense. Only time will tell which is which in how the relationship feels intuitively and is showcased for all to see by the action of those concerned. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


1004)  Life is a struggle for the brave of the heart, mind, and spirit. Not just for the typical person is life a burden at times. It is especially for those with the intent of doing good within their midst. This is not to say that a wrong doer isn't at liberty to do good themselves. However such a choice is harder still for them when it is sincere. Where the easiest way is the best manner for them to live through short cuts.

The determined person whether through just means or misdeeds will always find satisfaction in life through perseverance. It is by the degree of their intents that will distinguish them as a person of conviction or as an utter fool. This is where the soul with a sense of wonder will turn a life of struggle into a blessing to behold. By their own creative mindset they shall reveal openings to greater opportunities that all others are blind to recognize in their own common presence. Follow the just leader stirring you within your own sacred soul. There you will find "God(dess)" directing you to even greater glories yet still to be encountered. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


1005)  If one in life has the greater responsibility of becoming a caring parent with children of all sorts of aptitudes. One must soon realize your children are not just your own as loving parents. They belong to the Earth our great mother and also in the Divine Spirit of our father in Heaven that is God. For this organic planet we call the Earth is a living and breathing organism be it scientifically or spiritually speaking. Our mortal flesh belongs to the essence of our great mother here on this ancient Earth. Yet our souls as we are proper stewards of in origin paradoxically also belongs to God(dess) metaphysically speaking.

Be still to know this truth where your parental frustrations and anguish should always be surrendered to God. That is in turn your holy parent in all things divine. Such a surrendering does not omit you from your own earthly responsibilities to yourself and your own children of birth or adoption. Allow such a holy surrender to become a blessing permitting your concerns to become lifted from your heart and mind. So you in turn may have a clear conscience and a mindset in order to receive guidance and support from the "Holy Spirit of God". The consequences of not surrendering your emotional and mental burdens unto the Lord your God. Will cheat you and your children of a vibrant life because you were selfish with your pain, just as you were selfish with your joys in life. Be still and know we all belong to each other because of our relationship with mother Earth. Deeper still know we also belong to each other because God has loved us so for an eternity. For his "Holy Spirit" unites us all as "One". Hallelujah! ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

I hope many of you that celebrated St. Valentine's Day enjoyed themselves, especially with a significant other was involved.

This entry of spiritual wisdom statements will consist of the topics of: Children, Truth, and Simplicity. Originally written back around January 2009 and now seeing the light of day. I have a tendency to write new material and not properly situate it into a working manuscript. Albeit I am putting together "Volume 2" of the "Jewels of Truth" series. Where I'm down to the final 81 statements for that volume to being inserted and edited.

For my part I consider it time consuming and a labor of love until its submitted to a book publisher in manuscript form.

Without a further adieu here's the main attraction, enjoy.
---------------------------------------

924) If one seeks to be loved the most during that of one lifetime. It is best to seek out the love of children of all ages out in this world of ours. It is only with the innocent at heart that such a pure love can be displayed in the giving and receiving for the highest grace of all. The love of children in all that is wholesome and true will engender a reality of wonder. That transcends the hardships found in a difficult world.

The children of all manner of species of life are the future promise of their respective heirs. Given this truth we are required in a sacred trust to keep them as pure and alive in spirit as possible. Not because we owe it to ourselves, but because we owe it to God as manifested "Life" itself. This is the gift that crosses generations for the good of all that is Holy and beautiful in creation. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


925) Truth is truth. It has always existed and will never end. It is only our human awareness that is playing catch-up to it. Mostly discovered through unfortunate circumstances and yet also discovered in the sublime moments of clarity. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


926) Simplicity is a sublime ecstasy so few can cease to be captivated by her beauty. Simplicity offers so many a gentle alternative that so few can mimic. Simplicity is the daughter of wonder which flows from the mind into the beauty of all nature, whether real or fictitious. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
