Mystical Thought: "We Are Genderless Souls"

Hello All,

I wanted to mix up some of the segments I post here in my blog site. So consider this the introduction of another segment that will be posted on a case by case basis. It will not be a common segment but it may appear later on in the future with another mystical thought.

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

How dare I say that our souls made in the Image of God(dess) are genderless or in other words "gender-neutral"!

Well I'll break down this mystical meta-physical truth for your intellectual consumption.

In the Judeo-Christian Bible it states that we are all made in the "Image of God". So do you suppose that God(dess) is fashioned only in the guise of a physically incarnated human being?

Being an all-inclusive deity God(dess) both with masculine and feminine natures is rather incarnated as all "Life" itself, including that of Spirit. As is often the case of the Holy Trinity for Catholics including the "Holy Spirit" (Ghost).

However allow me to digress back to the point of how can we be "Genderless Souls"?

Well since we are made in the "Image of God(dess)". Not as a corporal human being but as a Spirit fashioned in the likeness of our Glorious Creator. Our souls all have a shard of God(dess) him/her self within our very spiritual souls. That ethereal shard that is a piece of our maker God(dess) within all of us including all "Life" Itself. That sacred and wondrous piece of Divinity is "Genderless" or "Gender Neutral" within us.

Thus as we are fashioned in the Image and likeness of our Creator God(dess). Our Souls or Highest Self is truly without gender. Encompassing both natures of the masculine and feminine within our most Divine nature by Holy inheritance.

It is suppose to be a Holy paradox or conundrum of our meta-physical make up. That as we are borne into physical flesh with one gender anatomically. Our Soul fashioned with the likeness of God(dess) is genderless (gender neutral).

Knowing this sacred truth how could we as spiritual inheritors of the Kingdom of God. Mistreat our Soulful brothers and sisters that under human terms are: gay, lesbian, or transgendered?

Those that have a foreign sexual orientation to our own are not dissimilar to their very own Divine nature as a genderless (gender neutral) spiritual soul. To be hateful or fearful of our brothers and sisters that are gay, lesbian, or transgendered is to display our cruelest animal nature. Not as Humane Beings but as Barbarians.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Here is the next three "Jewels of Truth" quotes for your reflection. Followed by a few more "Favorite Quotes of the Day" from other notable people.

Enjoy.

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

840) In a Democratic State government where the liberties of such a nation are severely restricted. It will cease being a democracy and convert either into a fascist or despotic regime. When liberties are suspended during a time of war. It must be treated with total civil transparency by freedom or the press and a government outreach for social justice. Otherwise the Democratic State enters a period of intense jeopardy of its truest identity. The Democratic State needs to excel in a governing method of compromise. Otherwise rigid polar extreme stances will lead no where, but to an utter collapse of all social institutions of the land. Delegating them to mere puppets of there former selves where fiat tendencies shall lead to ruin for all. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


841) Those who state that "Time heals all wounds" have forgotten one very important rule. That forgiveness must first occur for the internal healing of the wound. Otherwise the grief or anger will fester within one's self like a cancerous tumor. Forgive those whom that have harmed you, and especially one's self for harming others. Than and only then can time begin to heal the wounds of the heart once more. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


842) For those who seek a lifestyle of meaning served by purpose, than listen well. To live rightly is a grace from God(dess) of the most High. Albeit it is not meant to be an easy feat either in its pursuit. To live a life of well being one must find a balance that is appropriate to one's own purpose in life. Once found and understood correctly, then one can live by such a hallmark of fortitude. Otherwise one will wander far and wide in a haze of confusion not valuing themselves truly. Find your balance and it will lead you back to yourself and God(dess) awaiting you with open arms. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Computer File Concept: Picture File Format 2.0

Hello All,

Current computer file formats of pictures are of: gif, jpeg, bitmap, etc... All of which consist of a file name limited in text space, a thumbnail image, and the main picture itself.

What my concept introduces is the next evolution of a computer "Picture Format" into the 2.0 era. Taking the lead example of analog photographic paper be it of Kodak or Fuji. Where printed pictures all had a reverse side with a date stamp and additional space for some hand written comments.

Now imagine the Picture Format 2.0 that has a reverse side to it. By having a "Notepad" file attached to the reverse side of the next generation picture format. Where anything from comments to executable programs can be inserted into such a 2.0 picture format. Instead of programming code surrounding an inserted image. The image itself will have room for a program to operate akin to riding piggyback.

Taking all of the current features of a present picture format file as stated above and combining it with a reverse side, such as a "notepad" format file. Where the main picture itself on the bottom right hand corner when moused over will indicate where to reverse the picture. Getting at the notepad file format or perhaps another file format be it a self-contained spreadsheet program like Word or Excel.

This is where analog life can imitate digital life in a very convenient form.

FPS Game Design Concept: Anti-Exploit To Bunny Hoppers And Dolphin Diving

Hello All,

This simple solution in game design for the FPS (first person shooter genre) is an anti-exploit initiative by players that spoil the game's balance of intended game play.

However before I begin allow me to explain what "Dolphin Diving" is in context to a FPS multiplayer game round. It is when a player in quick succession goes from a jump to a prone position in order to avoid an enemy player in virtual combat. Often considered an exploit, much like "Bunny Hoppers", which are players jumping rapidly to avoid defeat in game play when attacked.

Both bunny hoppers and dolphin diving defeat the overall fun of all concerned.

My simple solution to this dilemma which I've never seen fully implemented in FPS game design. Is for example, when a player makes a regular one time jump in game play there are no penalties. However if that same player makes subsequent 2nd, 3rd, and 4th jumps in a consecutive manner. Causes a players stamina depletion to decrease by 25% with each additional jump. Much like adding an extra 10 to 5 pounds of simulated equipment to the player that is bunny hopping. Where the players avatar will be physically exhausted just like depleting their "sprint bar".

A player going into prone position regularly is also fine which mimics realism in combat. But if a player goes from their first prone position to a successful jump that will deplete 50% of their stamina. Another such "Dolphin Diving" attempt will completely wipe out their personal stamina until it recovers normally. The higher stamina depletion versus that of a jumper is due to the combo exploit move of a prone to jump position or vice a versa.

So when an exploiting player in a FPS multiplayer round. Uses such unnatural physical acrobats will get them more likely killed in-game than saved during a virtual combat encounter.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Here is my monthly iteration of my hobby and personal therapy of writing down inspired spiritual wisdom proverbs. Inspired due to the effect of using a writing technique that's called "automatic writing". Which is allowing your intuition to guide you to which words to line up in a sequence of expression and context.

May you enjoy the next three quotations written around November of last year 2007. My current tally is at number 900, which is hopefully if "God Willing" will be published in Volume 3. Of "The Jewels of Truth" book series, currently I'm taking my time in compiling Volume 2 at a snails pace.

If you enjoy this spiritual wisdom material I've written to date. Volume One "Jewels of Truth: A Soul Odyssey Within" is available in paperback and E-Book formats at any book store as a print on demand title.

Without a further adieu here are the next three all original spiritual wisdom quotes I've authored. Followed by my other favorite segment of "favorite quotes of the day" of other notable people.

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

837) We are the authors, lovers, and dreamers of this creation. What shall we create with our intentions?

I hope as an entity soul that we as a collective overcome this strife we've brought down upon our heads. As a sliver entity within the macrocosm of God's Spirit as the maker "this to shall pass and fade like the wind". Only unconditional Love can spare us from our self induced madness. That is the grace that God offers all life reborn onto itself. Be still and remember what it is to be Holy once more in the Love of God(dess). Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


838) For those who know in reincarnation suspect rightly so they can follow their inner obligation for this life or cast it away. Those that choose by benevolence to follow their inner dharma will not be dismayed, nor will they suffer hardships that are cruel. Those who are acting upon there obligation by sacred purpose for this life. Will be honored in return by writing upon their hearts and minds there next purpose by grace. It is always a willing companionship to enjoin one's purpose with their truest Love.

Unconditional Love by sacred intention can not be forsaken in one's Divine mission for each lifetime. It is a marriage of hearts and minds all focused on the singularity of ultimate creation. To beget more natural and uplifting well being for all concerned. Be well and know your wishes and desires will be purified with the absolute love of God(dess) in a remarkable display of glory for all that is good. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


839) Half an attempt is no attempt at all. One must be willingly to stretch beyond there own comfort zone. Or risk failing more often than is necessary to achieve what was desired in the first place. A full attempt may fail in effort, but one has pushed themselves beyond what is known to them at that moment in time. Resulting in learning a lesson and personal growth for the next attempt to be even better than the first one. That is if the desired results are sensible and not unrealistic in nature to be achieved by sweat equity. By giving fully to an attempt one succeeds no matter the outcome. Due to the tenacity of the intent akin to a full sense of being earnest. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Game Genre Concept: A Summary Treatise of a Cooperative Game Model

Hello All,

In a world of competitive game play we're all familiar with, that is team versus team sportsmanship. Or individual free for all gamesmanship is very much like a pseudo-form of "athletic combat". To turn this present game model on its head and invert it into a cooperative game model. Instead in overall relation to what has been known to us for thousands of years in various outlets of competitive game theories. Versus athletic or popular parlor games such as: chess, checkers, backgammon, etc... Taking our present competitive game models as a subtle form of combat, be it one Win's and many others lose.

To another level of social involvement in a "cooperative game model". Where mutual reconciliation is the benchmark for all winners based on there relative performance be it individuals to numerous teams in concert with one another. Achievement here is based on mutual cooperation that is the total highest value to be obtained in game play.

There can be two types of a "cooperative game model", one is basic and the other advanced. A basic cooperative game model will have a fixed point as a end goal or objective. An advanced cooperative game play can consist of transitory or random goals as they appear during game play. Be it with an individual or more than two teams involved in conjunction with the other. Thus removing the binary need or only two teams combating each other as usually seen in a competitive game theory.

A "Team" can consist of several sub-cluster mini-groups or niches that the over arching team will seek in duty roles to be accomplished as a threshold goal. Current competitive games can be reworked with a cooperative game model treatment in a creative fashion. Or new game genres can be invented such as: humanitarian, political, or financial. With a cooperative game model treatment layer to showcase the social needs or obtaining mutual end goals.

A) Humanitarian Game Genre: Where several teams have to work together via game play so as to how to recover from a natural or man made disaster.

B) Political Game Genre: Where several teams work out new policy in the creation of laws befitting the common good of all citizens, immigrants, and foreign visitors.

C) Financial Game Genre: Where in the creation of virtual or real capital monies and how it is managed and reinvested.

There can be "Games" that take into account the genres listed above and many others to form a meta-game environment. Where all these factors are at play at once, be it as a social simulation or other form of game play synthesis in comparison to the overall end game objectives.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Today I'll share another three of my original spiritual wisdom quotations for your enjoyment. With my other segment of "Favorite Quotes of the Day" following right behind.

Good day.

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

834) If one is a simpleton or a child of youth one is closest to the bountiful multitudes of God. Due to the authentic and true behavior displayed by joyful glee of a child, or a simple man or woman. In authentic behavior there are no: lies, deception, half-truths, guile, or even hypocrisy. One must meet truthful behavior directly and honor it for what it truly is. Otherwise one is not encountering the Holy, but the falsehood of all lies in their lives, which is the polar opposite to God(dess) the Merciful. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


835) To understand is to allow the freedom and range of motion by one's comprehension. Understanding comes to those who are sincere in their intention to know. Such a notion of knowing must be based on a total awareness of one's motives. Otherwise a person's intent to understand is led astray or worse tricked into falsehood. To understand the truth as it presents itself is to marvel at the commonplace and sublime in one instant moment. Truth is often at a premium in a world of double-standards. However it is the brightest yardstick to gauge our understanding of our world before us. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


836) Our souls have never left our place near/in God(dess). We that come to be reborn in the physical world are here to love and be loved. To evolve by Grace Unlimited if we choose to by our own permission's sake. Otherwise we are free to wander creation for our good or ill. Our only standard is to live fully and wisely by unconditional love. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

At first dreams seem impossible, than improbable, then inevitable. ---Christopher Reeve.

When you whole heartily adopt a "with all your heart" attitude and go all out with the positive principle you can do incredible things. ---Norman Vincent Peele.

To be a champ, you have to believe in yourself when nobody else will. ---Sugar Ray Robinson.

Coastal Beach Concept: Anti-Beach Erosion Counter Measure

Hello All,

I've lived in Florida practically my entire lifetime be it in South Florida and now in South West Florida. Each hurricane season after tropical storms or full blown hurricanes unfortunately make landfall. Coastal communities in Florida that depend on tourism need to replenish they're local beach tourist hot spots.

Here in Sarasota Florida that usually means hiring an expensive dredging barge outfit. To dredge sand from near local island keys to replenish lost eroded sand from Siesta Key or elsewhere.

I would like to offer an alternative abstract solution to this costly dilemma by suggesting a "Beach Skirt". A "Beach Skirt" is a tough fabric like material that acts like a sleeve across the shoreline of a particular tourist beach region.

The "Beach Skirt" can be deployed manually with the aid of a vehicle or via a deployment station on either end of the beach shoreline. The beach skirt can be anchored into place beneath the waterline and other buried hooks in the sand. That when deployed in a sweeping fashion without the need of any over head cables. Will horizontally sweep across the beach shoreline of a tourist beach before an anticipated tropical disturbance.

Thus when "Storm Surge" occurs there will be an avoidance of significant beach shoreline erosion. After the danger of a tropical disturbance passes from the region the "Beach Skirt" is merely retracted into storage.

This is the general concept in how to safeguard a coastal regions tourist beach locales.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes of The Day

Hello All,

Here is an unusual second posting at the end of a month. May you enjoy another three "Jewels of Truth" statements as I was inspired to write them at the time. With the customary "Favorite Quotes of The Day" at the end of this segment based on other quotable persons.

831) Desires are like flowing water, where one seizes a droplet of water there is always more gushing water to be obtained.
So to desire is to be alive. However what one desires must be scrutinized within one's heart. To be of a true need or of a good love for personal wish fulfillment. Otherwise vanity by ego's lead may yield fulfilled desires that are empty and lack of a true soulful craving. ----Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


832) Idle dreams are like vagabond fools going from place to place and returning home. If a conscious dream lacks substance then it to will more than fade away like dust in the wind. Sub-conscious dreams are of another matter of well being that speaks to your overall spirit within. Their symbolic language is best understood by subtle traits that are mostly personal to the dreamer. Otherwise generalized dream reference materials become an unruly misfit in interpreting your personal sub-conscious dream sleep states. ----Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


833) To know and love God(dess) is to understand life and death itself. Both are of one act consummated in truth that frees those who comprehend this majesty of being. Albeit one does not need to know God(dess) in totality in order to experience his/her adorement for all. Those of benevolence who venture into the womb of creation with earnest love in their hearts. Will yield the most bountiful harvest of their lives with absolute love as his or her own good fortune. Amen. ----Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Don't judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant. ---Robert Louis Stevenson.

Gamer Revenue Concept: Game Based Workshops

Hello All,

This concept may well be suited for the more enterprising hardcore gamer and especially for those who run a Gamer Internet Cafe or a Game Software retail business location outlet.

By taking the joy of electronic gaming be it PC, video game console, or portable gaming device. Where those that need aid or are seeking an overall level of enjoyment of a particular game title. Can enroll in a "Gamer Workshop" be it at a Internet Cafe or via an online course offering by an enterprising individual.

The game workshop can be as simple as teaching from a game "strategy guide" that usually sell for $19.95 US. So if the instructor can obtain a volume discount on purchased game strategy guides. To be resold to his / her own students in the workshop at retail prices that adds additional income to the workshop provider. If the workshop is to be held online the game workshop provider can arrange for an affiliation program sign-up (where available). With the game strategy guide publisher via a banner link thus making a commission on referred sales. So the student attendee can obtain a PDF or paperback version of the strategy guide during an online game workshop.

For those game workshop instructors that are subscribers to an MMO game title or any other player of a specific game title. Can teach additional nuance techniques that may not be found in a game strategy guide. Be it the general fair of gamer culture to those who are new comers or casual gamers to this hobby past time.

Those that choose to teach an online "Game Workshop" can obtain a TeamSpeak or Ventrillo chat server. Besides any additional portal website they may utilize, be it a forum community site or otherwise.

For the very spend thrifty who are on a shoe string budget and can not obtain a volume discount on a game strategy guide. Can elect to create their own version of a self-authored strategy guide to teach to their students. Especially if they have self-published the game strategy guide themselves as a new found author. Where they can resell there strategy guides directly to their students making additional income on the side.

The costs associated with a "Game Workshop" are at the discretion of the provider. Be it attendance fee's down to being a reseller of the retail game titles themselves. Such as those who run a gamer software business outlet, franchised or otherwise small business owner. (IE Electronic Boutique or Game Stop) This does not preclude a game software retail outlet partnering with a local gamer Internet cafe outlet to hold such workshop events, be it as a sponsored activity or otherwise.
