Criminal Justice Concept: "Military Anti-Rape Advocacy" (MARA)

Hello All,

I was a bit hesitant to write down this "Gem of Opportunity" as a very militant conceptualization for a potential Watchdog group. I may have a streak of fierceness in me, but I don't do militant concepts in general. However when I recently saw a re-run of the PBS channel of "Independent Lens" episode titled "The Invisible War" which first aired on May 13th, 2013. It got my blood boiling and thus this hard nosed militant concept was born as a form of advocacy against rape within our military armed branches.

Here's a link to the "Independent Lens" documentary episode running at 1 hour 46 minutes long.

"The Invisible War Episode" (Video Link) on PBS

Basically what this blood boiling documentary portrayed was something far more sinister and endemic. Than what we typically all hear that goes on in the Catholic Church via the Vatican State. This is the bastard problem neglected for perhaps a generation or more in all of our honorable armed service military branches. We have serial sexual predators that often have high ranking collusion as accomplices to cover-up the act. The good old boy friendships that often victimize twice over both men and woman that report the incident within their chain of command. A chain of command that more often than not lacks the Honor and humane respect of their own soldiers, sailors, marines, and airmen. For nearly half of all reported rapes and sexual assaults are against men themselves. This is something we come to expect from Prisons among inmates, but from our own troops this is a vicious societal disease within such ranks.

Here is a Department of Defense contracted advocacy group called RAINN (Rape Abuse Incest National Network). That works as an intake confidential humane organization with an anonymous hotline by phone and/or internet chat rooms. Regarding how Male Survivors of Rape are affected overall within the U.S. Armed Forces.

"Can Men Be Sexually Assaulted?" (Link)

                    I Quote:

Yes. The term “sexual assault” refers to a number of different crimes, ranging from unwanted sexual touching to forced penetration.

Men and boys are often survivors of sexual assault. In fact, according to national statistics, about 8% of all victims are male¹.

In the Department of Defense (DoD), 10% of the approximately 2,600 Service member victims in sexual assault investigations completed during fiscal year 2010 were male.² However, an anonymous survey found that about one (1) percent of all men serving on active duty in 2010 were victims of some form of sexual assault.³

Department of Defense (DoD) Safe Helpline staff are trained to help men who have been sexually assaulted. For support, or to learn about your options for reporting, please contact Safe Helpline online or call 877-995-5247.

Gladly there is some recent good news since sometime in May of 2013 two elected veterans to our U.S. House of Representatives. Spearheaded an initiative to reform the military judicial code regarding on how they treat the growing incidents of rape within the Armed Services. They are Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (D) of the State of Hawaii as a female veteran having served 2 tours in the Middle East and the 1st Hindu elected to Congress. And, Rep. Tammy Duckworth (D) of the State of Illinois a recipient of the Purple Heart as a double amputee from the legs down. She was Assistant Secretary of Veteran Affairs and holds a M.A. in International Affairs.

Here are these dynamic duo on CNN's Candy Crowley show of "State of the Union" on May 16th, 2013. This is an 8 minute 23 second video for those interested.

"Military Rape Prosecutions" (Video Link)

Fast forward to Dec. 19th 2013 and it seems they were successful in our American Congress. As reported by the "Washington Post" by: Ed O'Keefe.

"Congress approves reforms to address sexual assault, rape in military" (Link)

           I Quote:

“I think the bill is a significant step forward,” Senate Majority Leader Harry M. Reid (D-Nev.) said Thursday before the vote.

Such crimes have surged in recent years; the Pentagon estimates that 26,000 troops were assaulted or raped last year. But only a fraction of them, about 3,300, filed reports with military police or prosecutors in that time period.

Angered by the increase in cases and the lack of reporting them, Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) and Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) and a bipartisan coalition in the House drafted proposals to address the problem. There was particular outrage when an Air Force general stepped in to overturn the sexual-assault conviction of a star fighter pilot.

Their proposals are part of the annual defense policy bill that was passed 84 to 15 late Thursday in the Senate. The legislation would end the statute of limitations for cases of sexual assault or rape; bar military commanders from overturning jury convictions in sexual assault and rape cases; make it a crime to retaliate against people who report such crimes; mandate the dishonorable discharge or dismissal of anyone convicted of such crimes; and give civilian defense officials more control over prosecutions.

This is the good news. However we can't count our eggs before they've fully hatched. Thus the Raison d'etre to offer up a conclusive Watch Dog group to ensure none of these sexual predators and especially serial rapists. Escapes justice within the military courts or civilian judicial system if at all possible. For the previous barrier was a legal doctrine in 1950 called the "Feres Doctrine" that in short provides Sovereign Immunity to the United States government. From any liability of physical harm or death from negligence or incompetence done to a person serving in the military at that time.

Now that the Congress has done a overhaul of the Military Judicial code in regards to the burgeoning incidents of rape in the military branches. The "Feres Doctrine" has become amended in short to bring to justice those prior criminals that never made it to prosecution in the military courts. Including those that did and just received a very weak punishment be it a misdemeanor charge or other bureaucratic slap on the wrist.

Believe it or not many of those that reported the rape as victims were often charged for adultery just because the son of a bitch rapist was married! It goes without saying that collusion from Commanders or other high ranking officers were covering up for a colleague as accomplices. My concept today of creating a "Miltary Anti-Rape Advocacy" watch dog group otherwise known as (MARA) for short. Would create a legal defense fund for victims of rape within the military or otherwise that are now discharged within civilian life. Additionally a "Hall of Shame" publication of those brave service men and woman that seek to stand in the public limelight to stand witness to the crimes perpetrated upon them. Naming their attackers in public that have escaped justice by slipping through the military judicial cracks. The "Hall of Shame" will only be highly vetted closed cases with all the proper bells and whistles of documentation.

More over there would be a published "Watch List" given to local civilian and military law enforcement of rapists within their locality. Given from on the record vetted rape victims that have stepped forward seek anonymity in a confidential manner utilizing the common practice of "The Rape Shield Law". Wikipedia Link: Rape Shield Law

Is a law that limits a defendant's ability to cross-examine rape complainants about their past sexual behaviour. The term also refers to a law that prohibits the publication of the identity of an alleged rape victim.

Both the "Hall of Shame" and the "Watch List" are akin to what local police departments provide publicly. About locally listed sexual predators living within your neighborhoods across America. In this case it will be this advocacy watchdog group providing it for local military bases and those rapists now in civilian life that have escaped justice. The publications will be put online and within printed publications as in the case of the "Hall of Shame" to the general public. The "Watch List" will be a secure database accessible by National Military Police departments, Federal law enforcement, and civilian law enforcement police departments. The "Hall of Shame" will be an annual printing per volume year resembling a hard bound encyclopedia book of rapists and their victims having disclosed their status openly. Be it a one time rapist or a serial rapist the "Hall of Shame" publication will also be sent to the rapists spouse if any and certainly their family. To the base commander and accomplices that covered-up the incident will get a very dishonorable mention in this dossier entry. Every year also the U.S. Congress elected officials and the U. S. President will receive a complimentary copy. To gauge in part how effective their overhaul of the military justice system in regards to rape is working or not.
When the rapists enter civilian life their local neighborhood and workplace will receive leaflets of whom lives amongst them.

Since if the United States Government can not be sued due to the "Feres Doctrine". Than sue in the civilian courts the now discharged veteran rapists for damages caused to the rape victims healthcare costs when the sexual assault is egregious in a physical handicap. For lost wages and overall mental / emotional suffering in a punitive manner. To basically make the veteran rapist highly radioactive. Even if it needs to go as far to sue the economically wealthy family because of a spoiled brat rapist thinking they can escape justice.

(MARA) will be compromised of veteran retired legal professionals including former veteran tribunal judges, retired veteran military law enforcement if not including active duty legal personnel and serving military police branch personnel. Including but not limited to civilian judges active or retired as veterans. Civilian and criminal justice legal professionals and active service law enforcement of whatever sector be it Federal, State, or Local. (MARA) will also upon invitation go and educate law enforcement agencies and other groups in speaking engagements and/or workshops. As to the overall current plight of military rape as a societal disease not to dissimilar to the high incidents of military suicides, divorces, mental health issues, and other assorted crimes by service personnel.

This will no doubt cause such an organization to be the target of civil lawsuits of defamation if not slander over the course of its own advocacy. Thus be it hired law firms or those of a pro bono status will be highly sought after to represent legally (MARA) and its victims of rape from within the military. Besides the formation of a legal defense fund it may be advisable to register their non-profit status internationally as well. Just in case it ever becomes threatened as being initially registered within the domicile of the United States.

NATO forces as being Commanders are restricted as a conflict of interest from meddling in cases of rape reported within their units. This should be no different with in the U.S. Armed Forces however this was a bridge too far in the recent actions of the U.S.Congress to reform the military judicial system. Perhaps there may even be a clause within the Geneva Convention since the United States is a signatory to such a human rights legal wartime declaration. To protect its own military service personal from excessive undue harm within the military armed branches. Otherwise if (MARA) ever did see the light of day an embarrassing petition to the United Nations would humiliate the United States further to a course of corrective action.

In the end the "Military Anti-Rape Advocacy" (MARA) is meant to create a Militant Shitstorm as Agitators. Seeking the Justice System to actually function on behalf of victims of rape within the Military or now having entered Civilian life as a whole.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "Awakened To Illuminated Healing With The Angels"

Hello All,

Today I'll be sharing what you've come to expect although the source being my Spirit Guides and/or Teachers as the Angels. Since my writings wouldn't ring true to the spiritually minded if all I did was write from my false ego. I write by subjugating my ego allowing my spirit entity to lead by intuition. The result is what is called "Automatic Writing" technique as a psychic ability for writers. Be a writer spiritually minded or not, believe they have a psychic ability or not, the results are equally the same. As writers of all genres often state the book wrote itself as something they don't understand took a hold of them and just wrote the material. Be this Kismet or channeling from a neophytes perspective without understanding truly the holy spiritual psychic phenomena at work. It is in "Oneness" in all as the same result.

Today's spiritual wisdom statement didn't start off as a statement at all in my collection of notebooks. It rather began as one of my many channeled journal entries on the topic of Angelic Meta Physics in early May 2010. Using the example from the Biblical New Testament in how "Jesus Christ" healed the sick with miracles. Let's just say the soul is both as an individual entity and plugged into the meta network that is God's being. Has immense power to perform wonders if properly understood as a dynamic tool or ethereal soulful muscle.

So please sit back and enjoy the channeled material whether you agree with it or not. May it overall expand the horizons of your mind in faith. Amen.

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

As "Jesus the Christ" healed another person during the course of his evangelical ministry on Earth be he a Prophet and/or a Savior. Miraculous acts of tremendous importance to the world to come was left readily apparent for all. Be it if we exceed or greatly fail to achieve similar results it is up to us as stated in the "Book of John" chapter 14 verse 12. I quote: "Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father." We are all spiritual Beacons of living illuminated Infinite Holy Sacred Light. Just like the Angels and certainly in the Image and Likeness of God(dess).

What does such a spiritual light mean in and through us and around us constantly? It means its the source energy or the very fiber of God's meta-being like we're swimming in the soup of life in spirit. Often such a Source Energy is called Absolute Love for it is life affirming. It purifies all intelligently so, it amplifies and we are the antenna's spreading the holy radio signals across the infinite spectrum beyond us further out into Creation as a whole. Such a "Holy Light" continually gives us a Baptism as we love without conditions, as we forgive each other without conditions, as we pray, as we meditate, as we contemplate on the source of life in the spiritual sense of the very "Word of God".

The Angels behave similarly for their very soul entities shine down upon us like Flood Lights illuminating our sacred incarnations. For all life is predetermined by God there are no mistakes! Everything has a meaning and a purpose even if we fail to understand. That is faith in the divine, that is truth in essence and practice come alive in us. The Angels illuminate like a focal point upon us and we affectionately call them our Guardians Angels for the practice. The Beacons as the very essence of the Angels only takes hold when we sync up with their own vibration akin to one or more mirrors casting light onward in unison. Much like a reflector array of solar panels capturing light to generate electricity to power our homes and our lives verily I say.

We are in the Holy Spirit living Diamonds if we choose to awaken our innate calling in life. Otherwise we choose to remain dormant crystallized within chunks of coal like any diamond awaiting to gestate into its apex form of stone. Our brilliance is not only our own for it is truly the "Spirit of God" reflecting back at us. How this spiritual brilliance shines is like a kaleidoscope of life nourishing energy much like any Star in a solar system. The principles are similar but the scale is infinite and eternal in profuse application.

So to recap as Christ healed by miracles he utilized the very "Spirit of God" which is Unconditional Love. Like any Angel the very spirit that was "Jesus the Christ" to shine like a floodlight beacon upon the sick or diseased. To restore and heal them back to a holistic nature in being alive. As God would intend for all his children in his "Holy Spirit" or to erase the dichotomy that exists amongst us mortals here on Earth. Be these miracles accomplished instantaneously as made possible by Christ. Or as the Angels give all too generously all at once or across an entire lifetime just to make the journey that much richer in full remembrance to the blessed.

It is our birthright if not more over a duty for the faithful in benevolence without coercion nor violence. To renew for every generation of humanity the "Kingdom of God" wherever we may exist. As living dynamic souls in the Image and Likeness of God the Majestic Creator. It is our perpetual mandate not just for humanity, but for all creatures be they self-aware or god like in being. For this is the "Will of God" as has been decreed. Hallelujah!   ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Hello All,

What a Winter season its been thus far at least here in America with blasts of freezing snow, sleet, and rain. What they're coining as a polar vortex or polar blast in this hyper Winter season. However I'm experiencing very little of it since I reside here on the Gulf Coast of Florida.

What's happening to our world the Earth be it man made or natural meteorological phenomena makes very little difference right now. Right now what matters is how as a human civilization will we cope together as a species. Or become perpetual victims of the effects of macro weather systems. We can mitigate the weather to a minority degree with better infrastructure so our cities and into our neighborhoods doesn't collapse like a house of cards. The old modality of building public areas and all sorts of structures (residential / commercial) needs a 21st century and beyond facelift. Including avoiding altogether in building in potential hazard zones which is tempting the fates to bull doze your dwellings.

Just a thought since America's infrastructure is showing its age unlike China that is going through its own revival like we did in the 1950's. Perhaps in 60 years China will have the difficulty we're having right now. In under funding through lack of will power, leadership, and vision to create a safer and friendly society.

Today's trio of "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statements are on the topics of: Imagination, the Soul, and our Divinity. In the series #1030-1032 written in late April into early May 2010.

Enjoy the material as I have in writing and sharing it here today for the benefit of the many in the One we adore in Spirit. Amen.

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

Imagination:

1030)  Our sense of Imagination is not just a perceived function of the mind as a by product of disassociated thinking. Be it in sleeping or focused dreams, problem solving, brain storming, contemplating, and certainly using day dreaming as idle exploration of our greatest whims. Truly I say to you that our Imagination as a faculty of the mind is an extension of the sense's of our soul as a "Child of God". It is imperative to understand these meta-physical influences upon our spirits in order we may in partnership with the "Holy Spirit". Overcome our habitual tendencies to become victims as ineffectual people in dealing with our very own lives.

Our Imagination in conjunction as a people or in a greater sense as a living and very dynamic society. At large must understand our greatest contributions together reflects well on our collective divinity as it is the very nature of God to create. In exploring who we are as individuals from cultural groups into regional hosts we utilize our greatest power when we serve one another in creating goodness for its own sake. When we dream during our nocturnal murmurs we envision life through the very senses of the spirit within us. What we have colloquially attributed as an cerebral extension of our carnal brains via the so called human mind. Is literally a duo faculty of the human body plugged into the spiritual essence of our very own spiritual beings. Flesh experiences soul, as soul experiences flesh. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Soul:

1031)  All spirits as living entities be they Angelic in nature or otherwise predominant in respects to the realms they oversee. Have the greatest capacity to influence their local environs for better or for worse in how well honed they remain open or closed in living. Thus filtering akin to screening the reflective properties of the soul is of greatest importance to guard against unwarranted influences. A shield that shines so brightly that it becomes a luminous mirror or a portal into another reality. We are all in a plural sense One there is no distinctions in regards to what species we are born into as mortal incarnated beings. The squirrel has the same "Spirit of God" as does a man or a woman there is never any sort of division in the macro sense.

We are conduits to both life and death if we so choose where we wish to remain aligned in Spirit. Our metaphoric shield as the living soul is our greatest asset since it is endowed with the very "Spirit of God". Anointed with eternal life for those that beam with heavenly light into their very mortal lives. And the opposite is true for the accursed souls of the nether realms as well. Our souls are portals as doorways not to an afterlife for there is no after a life it is all a continuum like one circular umbilical cord. How we interact with each other is a portent in how we interact with God as him or her self in the "Holy Spirit".

By all means keep your souls hygienically clean in spirit as like cleaning the lens of a camera. Unwanted grime is to to be wiped continuously on an as needed basis. Forgiveness with ample opportunity to repent or correct oneself is always the hallmark of a courageous and humble spirit. With a clear lenses comes the next opportunity which is to polish yourselves into a place where you sparkle like living diamonds. According to how thoroughly you rub or polish your souls will determine how brilliant are the facets of your very lives. Leave nothing to chance if by a way of life with discipline you make the best out of what you have in order to grow and share in a spirit of thanksgiving. Amen.
                                                                                          ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Divinity:

1032)  All of Creation no matter the magnitude of scale will display differing characteristics upon the observer. Each civilization in our grand cosmos will be capable of different feats from others of a similar orientation be they regarded as scientific or magical in repose. To each belongs a driven zeal of performing for their own better senses be those ideals better or worse only God may judge in the ultimate scope of all things. What is fictitious to one people would not be entirely fictitious to another cluster of people as a feat of accomplishment. Be it through all manner of material undertakings such as technological innovations or other predestined forms of social engineering in terms of populated governance. By recognizing via maturity the wonders of our eternal soul within the natural world we all co-habit by sheer presence. We become witness to what can be done via the generations in terms of history.

The powers of our very souls aren't Magical they are instead rather Divine. Which is a scale of magnitude greater but not divorced from magic per say just greater yet still. Where magic requires the spoken word and earthen ingredients to cast spells. Only in Divinity requires the power of telepathic thought alone by disciplined intent to enact ones will. Magic as a sociological convention of the earliest peoples was evolved in order to conquer one's environment and one another. Then came Science which in turn sought out the very same goals albeit absent mostly of any spiritual tendencies. In order to manipulate the Earth and its people and to bend the Stars to our will alone.

All the while our sacred Divinity lays in wait acting like a steady hand with wisdom to express our inherit "Oneness" in all things. By the powers of our grace we can be like the Angels or succumb into our most hostile fears like the Daemons. Our Divinity is a holy vehicle to all forms of life in any and all combinations of existence. The choice is always ours as a people collectively and as individual spiritual entities first before we adhere to our own mortality. Will we be responsible to prosper each other into a New Earth or shall we damn ourselves into a living hell like idiots of our lesser selves?  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

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

For as is indicated in the law that changes not, the manner in which ye treat thy fellowman, ye are treating thy Maker. Thus each individual soul entity meets its own self and must give an account for the deeds done in the body and in the body mind. For that ye thinketh in thy heart, so are ye. ---Edgar C. Cayce. Reading 5082-1

For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear. ---Romans 8:14-15

When the waves close over me, I dive down to fish for pearls. ---Masha Kaleko.

"Jewels of Truth" Reading From Volume 2, A Statement On "Lovers & Love" Itself

Hello All,

"Happy Valentine's Day"!

Traditionally this is a celebration for couples however in an all inclusive spiritual universe. The definition of Lovers can be stretched a bit further to denote the faithful in God(dess). Be it Catholic Nuns that have taken "Jesus Christ" as their own bride groom in faith. If not Buddhist Nuns doing in kind with "Lord Buddha" himself in spirit. All whom love unconditionally fall loosely into the category of Lovers in my opinion.

So today's celebratory post for "Saint Valentine's Day" will include a trio of "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statements from Volume 2. One on the topic of Lovers and two additional ones on Love itself.

So please enjoy as you celebrate love in all its blessed forms by the sanctity of the presence of God in our midst.

Lovers:

When two lovers gaze into each others star gazed eyes. Both Heaven and Earth pass away from their own combined reality. Where entire unspoken symphonies of absolute Love are exchanged to each other. As if a sacred serenade has become beholden in this blessed instant that occurs between them both. This and so much more intensity is the unconditional love God(dess) constantly exchanges throughout all life in creation.

Unfortunately only a minority become Intimate with this form of Divine Love in any given lifetime. Although it is always open to all. This is why lovers always tread here in the bosom of God(dess). Or as it is better known as the "Garden of Eden". Amen. pg. 101-102   ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Love:

Wherever your love is, so is your heaven made manifest before your very eyes.  pg. 99  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

To love fully and well, especially unconditionally is to usher forth the fragrance of heaven into your life. Heaven can be brought anywhere there is a lover of life. Like the glass blower creating a masterpiece. Love is shaped and formed by the purest of desires of goodwill. Such a lovers grace for ones own divinity can invoke the "Will of Heaven" where glories will be established as needed. That is the power of "Heaven and Earth" in holy matrimony that has moved mountains across the ages of time forever more. Amen.
pg. 100  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Lakota Sioux In "Pine Ridge & Standing Rock Reservations" In South Dakota Freezing To Death, Donations Needed Urgently!

Hello All,

I usually don't make blog posts like this here at "Atrayo's Oracle". However since I have supported in my own small way the non profit "Changing Winds" (Link) in past Winter Warmth Fund Drives. I was very concerned when I received an email alert from their Director of Changing Winds "Ms. Christine Rose" of one casualty thus far with more expected to happen on Sioux reservation lands.

Here's is an article dated Feb. 6th 2014 of a recent fatality at the Standing Rock Reservation as reported by the staff at "Indian Country Total Media Network".

Standing Rock Sioux Woman Dies During Propane Shortage in Sub-Zero Temperatures (Link)

A Standing Rock Sioux member died from hypothermia, authorities believe, due to lack of heat during a propane shortage that recently prompted the tribe to declare a state of emergency. Nearly 90 percent of the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation’s residents use propane to heat their homes, reported KFYRTV.com.

Down below I'll repeat in its entirety the email alert I received from the Director of "Changing Winds" Ms. Christine Rose.

Well, it's been a while since Changing Winds put out a call for an urgent situation.  Click Here for a story about how this situation is effecting the Standing Rock Reservation in South Dakota, and the same is true for Pine Ridge  We have received a request from Pine Ridge to send electric heaters.

Right now the heating situation on the reservations in SD  can be called DIRE.  It has been in tens and more below freezing for much of this winter and although there has not been a lot of snow there, there has been too much in other areas to get the propane trucks out to SD.  This has resulted in a shortage and much higher prices for propane fuel, which heats the reservations homes. 

Beyond that, for the last 8 years, Citgo has given a heating fuel grant to Pine Ridge, and so far that grant has not arrived.  It usually arrives in November.  While Citgo denies they are cutting the reservations off, they have promised me a statement all week, which has never arrived.  Clearly they do not want any media involved.

The reservations are now faced with only about $200 per household for heat for the remainder of the winter.  The only affordable answer is electric heaters.

As you may know, I was a reporter for Native Sun in Rapid City and currently for Indian Country Today.  I have been trying to get an answer from Citgo for one week, and I don't want to wait any longer just to get the story. Let's get some heat out there!!!

Changing Winds still maintains the 501 C 3 tax deductible status, and we did receive a few donations this winter enabling Changing Winds to purchase brand new shoes, socks and underwear for 100 kids.  We also purchased resources for the BEAR Program, a teen run anti-suicide group in Pine Ridge.  With what we have left, we will also be purchase heaters.  We have $250 left, which will not go far.  Want to help out?  

Make a payment at Paypal.com, to cwadvocacycenter@aol.com OR purchase heaters and send to: Paul Iron Cloud

Oglala Sioux Tribe Housing Authority

Pine Ridge, SD 57770

(I can't find a better address than that.  You could add, "Near the Sue Ann Big Crow building" )

The request for heaters has come from a member of the Pine Ridge Tribal Council, a grandmother and a wonderful woman I have known for many years, she has been an activist for many years and always works hard for the children and elders. 

So lets get this show on the road.  You in?

Yours truly,

Christine Rose

Anything you can afford would be deeply appreciated in regards to a donation. If a donation isn't possible than please Pray that the sanctity of their spirits stay warm in this unheard of Winter 2014 season.

Thank you for your support be it spiritually or financially during this period of dire need.

Vaya con Dios ye Amor. (Go with God and Love)

Namaste, Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "The Lovers Way"

Hello All,

As "Saint Valentine's Day" is only five days away from us now. I wanted to share a spiritual wisdom statement I wrote back in early January. On the topic of Lovers in maintaining a relationship full of grace. That's the Ideal, however we all so frequently snap at those we would often go to the ends of the Earth for in tribulations. For those stating I love my partner, but not in such a selfless manner. Well you have what you have in each other by how your willing to build each other up with adoration and hopefully respect for one another.

Today's "Jewels of Truth" statement in the series is at #1643 for those keeping count again written in early January of this New Year. Enjoy. :o)

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

Lovers:

1643)  All lovers be they romantic partners to fully married spouses have found the everlasting treasure in each other. Only with an ongoing investment into the intimate identity of their partner. Can they ever hope to find a love that transcends time itself. All things that life offers abundantly can be found as a time capsule between lovers over the course of a sincere devoted relationship. What the heart fails to address the mind wrestles in hardship to comprehend its boundless intricacies. Mature expectations and acceptance in your partner affords you both the grace of respecting the other with a mutual dignity. A romance where one takes all emotionally and gives very little in return is doomed to complete failure. Only when lovers give without ceasing to each other in moderation can the romance blossom to become fully remarkable.

Honesty with open lines of communication avoiding bottlenecks or break downs in speaking to the other directly. Will assure understanding for those you love. Allowing for a conditional privacy for your partner will respect their need for personal space. Avoiding issues of dysfunctional co-dependency of being always in each others business. Frustrating jealously is unhealthy for it leads to paranoia and petty arguments that can kill any relationship. Humor in good taste is an elixir of sanity in both the good times and certainly in overcoming the bad ones. Play is not to be forgotten be it in shared hobbies and with the beauty of sex when you truly adore your lover. Romance isn't just the animal attraction it transcends easily into the spiritual when two souls become one in essence.

If arguments persists find peace with compromise without rehashing old psychological wounds. No One Wins when Terror is used to justify your ends in behavior. All things of value are to be shared equally based on Need before wants. Forgiveness with patience is key when obstacles must be ironed out together. Forgiveness with resentments is a shallow act indeed forget not the lesson learned, but truly surrender it in spirit always.

When married lovers with in-laws as relatives are both a life saver and an annoyance if they fail to respect your lover. Live your lives in union independent of your in-laws if they prove troublesome rather than helpful. For to love a parent is kin to loving God in his "Holy Spirit". So it is for a parent to know their place in order for their child to live their own lives in truth and cherished dignity.

The most treasured romance is the one where you fall in love all over again. Many years after the first time where this spells the conviction that you truly have your soul mate in your life. Truly love is meant to be lived unconditionally, but practiced with moderation in all the blessed things. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

"Jewels of Truth" Reading From Volume 1, A Statement On "Manifestation"

Manifestation:

When one learns to interface, mold the ethers, and express an outcome they are using the eternal network of God across Infinity.  Using the means of inherent alpha soul technology to trigger changes in omega. (Our daily lives in this shared realm) Our souls haven't been a fully quantified force to affect change in our reality. Perhaps when humanity takes its next technological leap they may include phenomena of the human spirit into the equation. Thus the inherent gifts of the "Kingdom of God" will be explored with more curious respect to its authenticity. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

"Jewels of Truth" Reading From Volume 1, A Statement On The "Holy Spirit"

Holy Spirit:

The ultimate way to live your life is to just be an unconditional expression of love. Doing so you will begin to notice the hand of the "Holy Spirit" putting things into place for you, your loved ones, and strangers alike. This is the perfection of Spirit, since the ego can not ever attain perfection due to its own imbalanced nature of being. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Enjoy.

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

Service:

1027) We are all born of this life as the result of the many blessed encounters strung across time and space. Our hearts and minds may be fashioned by the world, but our spirits and our ultimate soul in God has been fashioned from the Divine. We as the plural results of God's ultimate expression of Being has not cast us aside from our heavenly realm. We are all at his arm's reach to pull us aside if we stray too far from his earnest reproach into our personal lives. No one can take away your power to live with dignity unless you allow it.

As we each represent the godly in our lives akin to the Angels in this Earth and the Heavens. We showcase all that is divine in each other in order to promote the goodwill in our combined souls. All acts of genuine compassion with neither thoughts of earthly reward or recognition. Will grant the giver a total recovery of their own inherent heavenly beauty. The instantaneous good pleasure of giving is received almost immediately through the "Holy Spirit". We thereby unleash what is holiest in us and release what is purest in our brothers and sisters in spirit.

Forget not this truth of how we may love in action and for it to surround us instantly with grace. We are truly alive when we love each other in service by often reinforcing our faith in the process with God. Compassion and humility by the avenues of understanding and patience have afforded more "Peace on Earth". Than what any signed peace accord between nations could ever accomplish in any lifetime. By the measure we give from our hearts balanced by our minds it shall be afforded to us in this life and the next for all to celebrate as heavenly witnesses. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


Conduct:

1028)  The Love of God(dess) pours forth like a mighty waterfall upon all be they faithful or not. In wondrous measures that are often beyond mere common comprehension. Be still in your hearts and your minds allow for this hidden mystery to overwhelm you. Distill yourselves onto this one point in life where all grace follows in unceasing prosperity. Follow the bread crumb trail of your angels be they well intentioned people or purely in heavenly spirit. Whatever the turn of events in life so that it takes you to moments of reflection or steps to accomplish. Do so with conviction knowing full and well of your place situated within your proper self.

Flow forth from a place of zeal for living that God provides all to those who are earnest in accordance to his "Divine Will". Yet be mindful of the duo feminine aspect of God as Goddess which expresses life by all means nurturing, gentle, humble, and kind when it is warranted. Otherwise without proper inner balance our soulful desires to tame ourselves be they masculine or feminine in essential natures. Will clash with the world at large by being out of step with our intent and our following resolve to be whole in being. Keep to wisdom on what is proper in conduct and what is clearly not. For foolishness beyond playtime is a recipe for disuse and illness in how we express what is real to us alone. In how we decide to reach our most valued spaces in being content as spiritual beings alive in the flesh. Will determine a life well lived or one of confused suffering. Amen.
                                                                                                  ----Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


Courage:

1029)  What is it to have courage? Is it to move mountains aside in spite of our fears?

Courage is a process that can define a soul in order to help crumble difficult circumstances surrounding them. For there to be fear in our minds there must also be Hope in our hearts. A strong counter balance must be achieved in spirit for courage to take hold down to the roots of our being. For difficult circumstances do not, nor should they not define us. Our reactions may be stern and they may be timid for to be fully human we stumble at times unceremoniously. Our Convictions is what helps us to define ourselves in life as a whole. Troubles will come in all sizes and solutions will appear in all places as well. The great practitioner of life knows how to create opportunity out of perils in order to surmount the ugly in life. The afflicted ones succumb to a gnashing of teeth as they are defeated even before they have fully commenced to tackle hardships. They have forsaken themselves without a chance to overcome. Hardly can the Angels in heaven assist with such a weak resolve to live.

With true courage lived with hope and convictions comes an ingredient called faith. A faith not based on the appearance of insurmountable difficulties. But one of an inner stillness which is sensible in spirit that is filled with unspoken strength and self-worth to overcome all things. Milestones become a well paved roadway to intercede on ones own behalf to nearly subjugate all injustice. For to squish one evil out of your personal life another will come along in your brothers or sisters life. For they are needing instruction in how to overcome for themselves. These are the hallmarks of a true courage that is not to be lauded from the hilltops, but kept in a spirit of humility in order to care for all precious things in life. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

More individuals become so anxious about their own troubles, and yet helping others is the best way to rid yourself of your own troubles. For what is the pattern? He gave up Heaven and entered physical being that ye might have access to the Father.
                                                                         ---Edgar C. Cayce. Reading 5081-1

May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony.
                                                                                                              ---Romans 15:5

Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and sustain in me a willing spirit. ---Psalm 51:12

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
                                                                                               ---Eleanor Roosevelt.

Always be on the lookout for the presence of wonder. ---E.B. White. "Charlotte's Web"

"Jewels of Truth" Reading From Volume 2, A Statement On "Compassion"

Compassion:

Humanity by its animal nature versus its spiritual nature is prone to gross inequalities of all sorts. Most evident is how we treat the less fortunate by they economically disadvantaged or physically / mentally impaired. We are often more so civilized in name only. To our disgrace we favor opulence over liberty and equality. Thus our human nature will fail us if we do not heed that if the least of us is not represented well in just treatment. It bodes badly for the whole because we are not ready for the mantle of greatness as a humane people much less a nation of civilized people.
                                                                               ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Automotive Industry Concept: "Smart Phones Inter-Connectivity With Smart Cars"

Hello All,

As today's cars, trucks, and other associated automotive vehicles continue the trajectory of artificial intelligence of on board electronics. It may very well end up within this decade or there about our smart phones will be considered as an indispensable piece of computerized electronics in managing our own vehicles. Not to mention the advent of wearable gadgets that our smart phones may become rather worn on clothing (ala Star Trek communicators) than carried in a holster. Efficiencies are being squeezed nearly every year by the function and computing power of today's gadgets. Vehicles will no doubt continue to follow suit in a similar measure as the wizardry of technology allows for a near convenience experience. In helping us manage our productivity away from work and our own house holds. More like a mobile command and control hub will vehicles of tomorrow emerge in ease of functions for our daily modern needs and wants.

Today's concept is how our contemporary world with "Smart Phones" makes its own incremental debut into "Smart Cars" and vice a versa. Bluetooth wireless connectivity already exists for many years now as one of the very first forays between a smart phone and a personal vehicle computer console panel. What follows is my own vision of how this could emerge for our routine lives here in the Industrialized world.

Every automaker will have developed a software application as a downloadable software interface with their particular car model. For use in a car owners smart phone(s) only after purchasing a vehicle and not before. The car control app will synchronize via encryption processes to the owners smart phone(s). (In case of several alternate drivers each with their own authorized smart phones) In part the car control app will randomly generate an electronic key code that acts as a handshake to open and close one's vehicle. We already today have key less entry devices at a certain broadcast short range frequency like a combination lock. However tomorrows vehicles will have the singular unique smart phone Dial into opening or closing a Smart Car. Just like you were calling a colleague at work to prep something for you in function. In this case your calling your car to open or close and begin its own standard protocol checklist of functions for operation.

The smart phone(s) synchronized to the owners smart car will place an additional layer of theft protection of a vehicle. If a car thief attempts to spoof an owners smart phone to gain key less entry to the owners vehicle. There can be an additional layer of protection provided by the owner where a verbal key phrase must be uttered. Speech recognition software authorizes its the owners own voice and not someones that just knows the key phrase as the password. Or the vehicle can ask a random security question like many websites do today to log in to your account. Again looking for its owners own speech pattern to verify who it is. Also, ones Smart Phone will have a digital finger print scanner to open your vehicle. Do note the thumb is no longer the only required finger for scanning. It can be any number of digits of your choice as an acceptable scanning recipient.

Now vehicles of today may have a rear view camera so as to not bump into someone or another car or object. Smart Cars of tomorrow will be a multi-angle array of safety and security camera's. For instance like in Russia or parts of Eastern Europe its popular for car owners to have personal dash board camera's. For protection to prove something actually happened in a car accident not just for insurance purposes. But, dirty police have been known to be chronic lairs as to occurrences in traffic incidents. So the popularity of car dashboard camera's has soared in Russia and neighboring Eastern Europe. Even in America and in other parts of the world police were the first to issue dashboard camera's onto their patrol vehicles. Tomorrow's smart cars will have dashboard camera's, 360 degree interior roof light camera, exterior rear, exterior car doors, and exterior radiator grill front cameras at street level. As a package suit of safety and security camera's for car owners. Car manufacturers can sell from plain daylight only to sophisticated infrared red see in the dark camera's. Touting viewing distance, illumination, optical clarity, and so forth as sales features.

What this does for a Smart Phone is akin to a home security system often marketed today to home owners. However a wired up smart car with this ensemble of vehicle camera's mimics the very same safety conscious consumer of tomorrow. Using your smart phone via a encrypted connection you dial into your vehicle to watch whats happening around your car. So if an idiot dings your car door in the mall parking lot you'll have recorded footage in tracking down the hit and run away fool. I can hear the incidents of car insurance claims go up in the future for car detailing shop repairs. :o)

Automakers will also transmit to their vehicle fleets sold to car owners anti-virus and malware software protection via the Internet. Since in many ways Smart Cars of tomorrow are a mobile wireless Internet hub of their own, albeit encrypted for private use. Just like today's personal computers receive software anti-virus updates from an assortment of companies. This will be so car thieves don't infect a vehicle to gain entry via a malicious car hack of tomorrow.

Smart phone address books will be synced up with your own smart car's address book accessible via your touchscreen console. However speech recognition can be a primary means of interacting with your vehicles computerized console(s). (Back seat passengers will have one of their own as well.) Whenever your personal smart phone address book updates your car will prompt you requesting for the update from your phone. The same can occur via the car maker control app installed on your smart phone. Your smart phone will solicit you for the most current updates from your smart car with contact information. Of course all of this can be given prior permission to happen behind the scenes without having to authorize every secure request of an exchange of data. Business travelers renting a personal vehicle with a Smart Car can download the car rental company own car control app. The duration of the car rental ticks down like a timer until the car is returned. So the business person traveling via their smart phone can securely transmit their native address book to the smart car rental. For ease of travel to preloaded destinations required by the company during their stay or other personal interests.

Some Smart vehicles such as sport sedans or minivans with additional spacious leg room for back seat passengers. Will have the aforementioned secondary back seat computer console hub for passengers. In a way ever since minivans of today started to have flip down television panels to entertain the kids or what not. This form of on board entertainment will only evolve much further to include computer Internet surfing. And, of course gamers delighting playing their favorite MMO's or multiplayer FPS game match whilst in transit. Picture today's "Playstation Vita" portable game device offered by Sony. The passenger back seat console will have wireless controllers similar to today's "Playstation Vita". With an enlarged screen as a remote control wand or game controller for Internet entertainment purposes. Of course if a passenger has their own Smart Phone or Smart Tablet they can sync with the back seat console hub as a guest log in to utilize its functions as well.

Today GPS devices in cars already record your traveling points throughout the day. Stored indefinitely until the memory cache is overwritten with new data. A Smart Car of tomorrow will have its GPS like a Black Box similar to an airplane as a data recorder. Smart Cars, each will have their own Data Recorders for car insurance purposes and probably one day required by law like an airbag for safety by the Federal to State governments.  The Smart Car data recorders will certainly record in a memory buffer all camera footage whilst stationary and during transit. All of this can be streamed to ones smart phone for reference as needed, but stored on site with ones vehicle. The smart car in some ways will be like a traveling computer server cluster.

*Government vehicles be they Military or Civil Intelligence sectors may benefit from an additional layer of technology just for their own purposes. That is Virtual Augmented Reality destinations pre-programed into their Smart Car for Dead (Data) Drops or Retrieval of Sensitive Data Locations. That to the naked eye is meaningless. But, with an augmented reality sensor with a smart car or helm on the driver they can pin point destination points as needed. There can be tele-conferencing nodes with such augmented reality hotspots similar to every "Mission Impossible" mission briefing. Since the Smart Car is like a driving computer server cluster it can interface with virtual only secure Intelligence sanctioned locations. However any such augmented reality vehicle enabled with such virtual reality sensors can be a mobile transmission node to infect with a computer virus unsuspecting victims.

All government vehicles be they for civil servants in the Federal, State / Provincial, and Local municipalities. Will have their on board Smart Car camera's sync with Federal / Local police departments. So as to provide a public sector Mobile CCTV Platform for public safety surveillance purposes. So if a incident occurs in real time be it a traffic accident or an actual crime taking place. Police can be dispatched as needed. Also regional traffic authorities will also sync into these same government smart cars to data mine traffic flow patterns. To prevent traffic congestion for the populace at large as an additional deployed sensor array package. For motorists to access on a public as needed basis piped into all Smart Cars. Like today's free accessed Public Service Commission free television channels required by law for local county governments and public school districts.

When the era arrives when cars can drive themselves in an automated fashion thanks to companies like Google or Federal government agencies like DARPA. Then consider the Smart Phone like a bell man's whistle calling for a remote-off site pick up for a friend or yourself. The proverbial soccer mom has gone robotic with your own personal vehicle. The same goes for Taxi's showcased in both sci-fi movie versions of "The Running Man" with an automated computerized robotic automobile. Chauffeurs around the world will cringe for their occupations being downsized in later vehicle automated generations. Only the very backwards part of the world will still use antiquated human drivers. Or the filthy rich to denote their opulence for the old ways of driving in antique cars and boats.

During emergencies if the main car driver is injured or unresponsive due to a car accident. If their Smart Car is outside the regional automated traffic network digital umbrella. Which is a centralized traffic authority that provides guidance to all local automated vehicles during transit. Until that time vehicles can do this on their own via satellite after the first few generations figure out such an technological obstacle. When the car driver is out cold at the scene of an accident any authorized back-up drivers that are conscious with their own Smart Phones. Can manually drive the car via their Smart phone if its in drivable condition, but are outside the scope of the regional automated traffic network. (ie Rural areas) Much like in the James Bond 1997 movie of "Tomorrow Never Dies".

If a car is ever stolen or broken into the Smart Car will alert the owners Smart Phone immediately. In tandem the Smart Car will also send out a distress alert call to the local police authorities computer network. Which will in turn alert the closest police patrol squad car to intercept in the vicinity. The alerted car owner with their smart phone can access the encrypted video camera stream of the car thief. Where the en route police squad car will be given temporary access to do likewise so as to build a case for criminal prosecution of stolen property. The car owner will be given the option to turn off the car engine block with or without an alert to the car thieves. Similar in many ways to today's "General Motors OnStar" service car theft protection features. Where all car windows will roll up and car locks secured including the glove department will lock to make the vehicle a secure vault in many ways until police show up. If a vehicle has a passenger folding back seat like in a sport or family hatchback. The folding seat control mechanism will also lock so as to prevent a car thief from escaping via the vehicles trunk space in accessing the manual release lever.

These are some of the manners I can envision a Smart Car of tomorrow will function for owners. Smart Phones will cross the threshold of an optional mobile communications gadget into a very necessary component in owning a personal vehicle. Everyone will have a Smart Phone of various technological features and quality levels of affordability. By extension Smart Cars will piggy back onto this modern society need in many ways to aid us in living more productive lives. Although the price of productivity may be more burdensome due to loss of privacy and other sociological inconveniences for having technology available at all times. This is the future perhaps within the decade if not a few years after that but well within our generations time frame. No longer the domain of science fiction but hurling towards us as a real fact.
