Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day

Hello Readers,

Today I'll also deviate from the numerical line-up of quotes for another of my highly regarded quotes I've just written. Then return to the normal order of spiritual wisdom based quotations I've writtened.

Enjoy.

771) From our perspective here on earth as mortals we fell from grace in the symbolic chronicle of "Adam & Eve". This is only partly true and the rest of this understanding is skewed by conditional foresight.

From the perspective from Heaven there was no falling from grace. Just a transition of one form of living into another. Much like the catepillar transforms itself into a lovely and gentle butterfly.

From the human perspective we are sinners and full of fault. In the eyes of God we are growing and full of life. We may have transitioned into this world of form. But who is to say that we have actually left the side of God within his throne in Heaven. We are in both places at once as by a miraculous act of his grace. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

(Now returning to the regular sequence of quotes)

767) What is Beauty?

Beauty has an inherent balance by its aesthetics. A symmetry of order that fills us with a sense of awe and appreciation. Beauty is living art whether by its contrast or gesture. It is a representation of the Divine in all of us. A sacred union of souls that transcends often our comprehension of its depths of magnitude. Beauty is what it is, wonder that is manifested! ---Ivan / Atrayo.

768) What is the hallmark of a dignified spirit? It is carrying out the precepts of silent and humble conduct. That one is not grand standing in order to receive praise or adoration from the vanity of others. So as to enact a sense of confirmation of being valued. One is independent from such leanings and also binded to the lovely nature of modest conduct. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

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

Dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows. ---Henry David Thoreau.

First keep the peace within yourself, then you can also bring peace to others. ---Thomas a Kempis.

Do not let those things which may not in the present be understood weary thy soul, but know that sometime, somewhere, you too, will understand. Keep the faith. ---Edgar Cayce. Reading 5369-2.

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other. ---Blessed Mother Teresa.

If we do only what is required of us we are slaves, the moment we do more, we are free. ---Cicero 106-43 B.C.

E-Commerce Concept: Merchandise Catalog Presentation

Greetings Reader,

Today many if not all e-commerce retail outlets online today relay on 2-D presentations of their merchandise. The typical thumbnail picture leading to a full blown picture of the item in question. If one is lucky there will be different cut-shots of the merchandise displayed at the online retailer.

Now picture (all pun intended) the e-commerce retail merchandise thumbnail with a 3-D presentation. IE a clock that is ticking to your local time, beverages in glassware being consumed by a model, clothing being used as intended by a human model in short animated loops. If your demographic is for children's merchandise one would have the company mascot doing these various presentation animated loops. From playing with the toys, to modeling clothing, to singing certain MP3 media in small clips.

From the thumbnail merchandise media presentations we traverse to the full blown pictured merchandise. That will show the merchandise used as intended all streamed from the e-commerce website, without obliging the end retail user to download anything. Cusory information can accompany the retail items that are being shown and used by the models or animated figures. In some cases AI speaking mannequins can assist the customer in selecting or handling a POS (point of sale) transaction online. The AI package can include repeated "Live Acted" previous customer testimonials of product usage. In other instances the pending customer can select which animation or human acted model to be displayed. For example if house decor is to be displayed the customer with a click of the mouse. Can select how they're pending order of merchandise is to be used in a mock up virtual setting in the retailer space. This can extend to intended uses of retail clothing ensembles selected to jewelry, watches, and accessories.

These are the few of present functions that E-commerce retailers can use today in enticing increased sales in the online sphere of transactions.

Recorded Media Prediction / Observation: Analog To Digital To True Holography

Hello All,

Most of what I'm stating today is mostly a no-brainer. Since 2/3's of it have occurred to date in terms of recorded media in presentation and technological improvements. From the days of Analog media be it in LP's, 8-Tracks, or other magnetic tape media like cassettes and VHS / Betamax formats. Notably analog media in most circles still outperforms in terms of quality playback than next generation digital media. However subsequent generations of digital playback may make this point moot sooner than later. Perhaps with thrusts of improvements coming from the second generation of DVD introductions. Like the new formats of "BluRay or HD-DVD" being introduced most recently in the consumer marketplace. This can be working hand to hand with future generations of MPEG play back skipping entirely the old format of the MP3.

Where will recorded media lead us in the next decade and beyond? Perhaps the much lauded Holy Grail of 3-D that has been described in science fiction for nearly over a generation now. That of "Holographic" technology that exists today, but not in sufficient portable technology that consumers demand today. Holography today is still in that old IBM PC mainframe sizes of old that is a pain to transport anywhere.

But in the years of tomorrow this to will no longer be a limiting factor. Expect new iterations of true 3-D technology to leap beyond the present pseudo three dimensions that digital technology offers us today. Holography will be the new vanguard of not just data media but also in display technology. Unlike the present dinosaur esque 2-D displays we're still lugging around from the latter half of the 20th century. Be it the now classical transistor tube displays to the CRT's transforming into the present deluge of: LCD's, Plasma's, & HD TV's.

Holography of tomorrow will present us with displays in its first few generations that are more so vertical 3-D projector like in presentation. Than present day horizontal displays with a 2-D display. These first 3-D projector like displays can be rotated by the human hand or voice commands. Where the end-user won't need to fumble with a awkward virtual reality glove or microphone. But motion sensor technology of tomorrow will take this fuss out of the equation.
Do expect the first generation of holographic display technologies to have it's glitches. Chief amongest them is particle quality where the presentation will be too transparent where foreign light sources will degrade the quality of viewing. This will phase out over time where the holographic displays will yield substantial improvements in filtering out foreign light sources in the commercial and personal use options. Other potential glitches will be corruption of data that is no stranger to us with digital technology of today. But in holographic circles will blend data stream images causing a corrupt image to be displayed and viewed. Basically a mutation of images that onboard processors will need to compesate when the transmission becomes hazy.

Lastly holographic technology will yield substantial productivity improvements in how data and images are manipulated and shared. Top amongest them is confercing where large summits of group gatherings will choose the holographic chat room of tomorrow rather than the long distance trek to another location. The television of tomorrow will also host various game shows, TV interviews, and such as future fads in how this holographic media is consumed amongest the masses. This will entail cultural shifts that will take at least a generation to be fully absorbed into mainstream society. Much like in today's western cultures warming up to digital entertainment be it in the form of: PC & Video console games, to the more recent distribution of media in MP3 formats and such.

This reality is coming the hard part is predicting actually when it will occur over time. Due to many competiting forces seeking top dog pole positions in the display and recorded media industries.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day

Hello All,

Here is another 3 spiritual wisdom based quotations for you to have a thought provoking experience. Whether you agree fully or not with the topic they represent. Or are able to expand on their inherent meanings in our comments section, thank you for your pending feedback.

763) A secret place in time is what is termed as eternity. It is a living phase of existence often overlooked by mere mortal activities. Its impacts are varied from a raised consciousness due to the interconnectivity of all life. Or the transition of events that are not in a neat modus operandi. Eternity as a force is not one of conformity, but of action guided by the orchestration of life. It is a vast ocean of movement that on the surface is misunderstood. But at its depths performs paradoxically like a ballet. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


764) Where there is symmetry there is beauty. Whether it be of one order or another of scale. Its harmony transcends limitations imposed on it by others. Who lack a full comprehension of its subtleties and graces. The function of a system full of symmetry does not distinguish between friend or foe. Since both are one and inclusive to the other in the grand scale of life. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


766) Those that expect God to swoop down from the heavens with his winged angels to save us from ourselves. Is grossly mistakened with that picturesque fictional interpretation. God will however by our developed Faiths transform us from within our very being. Where humanity will serve each other and the world at large by compassion. Coming to each others aid when needed and deserved by permission. Make no mistake about this God will rescue us, but only through his creations and not outside of them. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

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

Diversity challenges harmony but paradoxically nurtures it when diversities gifts are respectfully honored. ---Carolyn Baker, Ph.D.

It is only imperfection that complains of what is imperfect. The more perfect we are the more gentle and quiet we become towards the defects of others. ---Joseph Addison.

You have pain now, but I will see you again, and your hearts will rejoice, and no one will take your joy from you. ---John 16:22.

Happiness is not what makes us grateful. It is gratefulness that makes us happy. ---David Steindl-Rast. "A Listening Heart"

But I do know that self Love, (unconditional) can give a person a sense of satisfaction, where you attract others because of love, not so much because of need. ---Carol Harquail.

Property & Casualty Insurance Incentive For US States

Hi All,

Lately across many US States effected by hurricane property and casualty insurance companies that are pulling up stakes from renewing or writing new policies. Thus as a survival mechanism on their part they've headed to the hills instead of losing their shirts. Thus abandoning many policy holders or future ones to fend for themselves in disillusionment.

This has to be seriously mitigated and turned around in many southern and coastal US States. I've even heard that insurance companies in Rhode Island have become skiddish and have either shot up their rates or stopped from issuing new policies. We have across our nation have had this veil of false security lifted from us for either good or ill. Now creative solutions and incentives from State governments are needed.

Such measures may warrant that residential or commercial properties may not be able to insure the structure if they are located on or near a beach front community. Including island / isle keys off the mainland due to the high risk factor for the insurance industry. Those property areas in the future may only by for the brave or fool hardy. Which in turn may in a chain of events scare away future construction developments. If there is any insurance in those vicinities it may be just for residential furnishings or business inventories. This may prove more beneficial for mother nature allowing natural barrier sediment within inlets to replenish. So to accumulate by proving beneficial in certain natural barriers to be recreated. This is especially the case if some islands / isles that were once developed that are abandoned later on due to do a "no insurance zone".

My suggestion is to have US States cover the "Doughnut Hole Deductible" for the insurance industry and policy holder customers. The Doughnut Hole Deductible is the portion of a policy after the customer deductible has been paid in full. Then the State government pays a deductible amount in the middle value of the writtened policy. This will insure that the Insurance industry isn't as skiddish as before and indicates that the government will share in the burden. Instead of fully depending on a catastrophe fund until it is wiped out during repeative natural disaster events.

This will also remove to a degree some of the scare that a State government will become the insurer of last resort. Thus insuring that the insurance industry stays involved in writing new policies and honoring past policy customers with renewals.

Textiles Concept: Bullet & Knife Proof Clothing (Not Vests)

Hello All,

For the last couple of decades bullet proof clothing technology has been restricted to various sorts of vests. Whether they are kevlar lining, ceramic plates, or a combination there of for such protective vests.

What I envision is further improvements with synthetic textiles that are lighter and can be woven into regular clothing material as in a mesh. Where the: military, police, security guard protective vests will morph into protective clothing. Be it the typical: police, military, or security guard uniform that can stop a bullet or a knife blade thrust. Perhaps early versions of this protective clothing may be very itchy in wearing. So personnel may need to wear underalls that allows them to wear this futuristic protective clothing. The underalls may be material that retains heat or cools when appropiate whilst out during field work.

Eventually the industry with subsequent protective clothing iterations will mitigate this "itchy factor". Overall law enforcement, military & security personnel will have uniforms that provide a defensive edge whilst worn. Alleviating the need to wear these present day bullet proof vests with ceramic plates, or other bulky vests. Thus helping in carrying out their duties in a efficient manner that assures safety beyond just the torso. And/or wearing full SWAT assault gear to get a similar level of protection.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day

Hello All,

Lately it seems it is a Sunday when I'm updating my blog site. Typically on the Christian day of Sabbath, well it is a worthy form of worship in my opinion nonetheless. With that said every now and again I channel by automatic writing a "WoW!" spiritually based quotation. This one below just came from my pen to paper today Sunday August 20th. Enjoy it as I continue to reread it and say to myself "I just wrote this?"

765) How do I find enlightenment? One doesn't find enlightenment, it finds you by grace. One does not earn enlightenment, one fulfills it much as one fulfills honesty. It is all a matter of practice and not a matter of receiving. It is peace in action and not peace by inaction. It is the way to reconciliation of our mortality with our spirituality. It is life in abundance versus life in misery. It is kinship with others versus isolation from existence. It is being one with creation, instead of acting separate from reality. We are enlightened when we live on purpose with "Love & Truth" as our service to Life. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

(Back to the regular sequence of quotes)

761) To have the spirit of youth and the wisdom from age. Is to have used the eternal fountain of life within our very souls. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

762) Take life one step at a time and don't attempt to jump mountains. Walk gently and you'll walk the most in your lifetime compared to all others in this reality. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


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

Love is friendship set on fire. ---Jeremy Taylor. Anglican Bishop 1613-1667.

As has been indicated, a little more patient, a little more tolerant, a little more humble. But ... not a tolerance that becomes timid-this would make rebellion in self. Not a patience that is not positive. Not a humbleness that becomes morbid or lacking in beauty. For as orderliness is a part of thy being, so let consistency-as persistency-be a part of thy being. ---Edgar Cayce. Reading 1402-1.

You already possess everything necessary to become great. ---Crow Tribe Proverb.

In thought and in action, I am considerate and generous to others. My good can not be depleted by giving. The good that I share is returned to me, increased and multiplied. ---Daily Word Message For 08/02/2006.

Our efforts bear fruit. With every exercise we become more patient, more clear-sighted, and stronger. ---Omraam Mikhael Avianhov.

Revenue Source Concept: Municipal Governments Spending Criminal Assets

Hello All,

Many local and State governments are running up record deficits, if not are on the verge of backruptcy if not in it already. What if local or State governments can spend convicted felon criminal assets to boost their bottom line. But here's the twist they do not spend it directly, they use it as a form of secure collateral.

So once a felon is in a State of Federal prison convicted of his crimes. His assets that are over a certain dollar amount, let's say like $100,000. Be they in the form of: liquid cash, real estate holdings, antiquities or collections, and financial stocks & bonds. Are all ripe for being utilized as a form of secure collateral to raise financing much like a municipal or State bond is issued.

Any interests or directly leveraged monies made from such formerly frozen criminal assets. Aren't paid to the convict once he is released from the prison system. Consider it as a form of paying their dues for their crimes against the public and paying for their expenses while incurred in the prison system.

This isn't theft since once a convict is released be it by parole or their prison sentence is up. Their financial assets are returned to them. Minus any incurred interests or financing that the city or State government was able to utilize from such assets.

Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

760) To love fully and well, especially unconditionally. Is to usher forth the fragance of heaven into your room. Heaven can be brought anywhere there is a lover of life.

Such a lovers grace for ones own divinity can invoke the Will of Heaven and glories to be established where needed. That is the power of Heaven & Earth in holy matrimony that has moved mountains. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day

Hello All,

Sorry by the lack of updates, I've been distracted with my other two hobbies as a gamer and entering numerous free sweepstakes online. Today I'll share another three of my own quotations including some extra famous quotes of other notables.

755) Humanity and any other sentient life out in the cosmos is a living paradox much like us. We are equally capable of atrocities guided by the selfish whim of free will. Yet so are we also capable of brilliant acts of good will towards each other. It is all based on the disposition of the being guided by their inner sense of wonder or travesty. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

756) If one is to live an abundant life. One must seek out all manner of ways to be challenged. Otherwise the spicket of the flow of life will only trickle in. One needs to perturb the flow of life so as to engage it fully. Rich engagement is the fruit of enlightened labor of one's passion. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

757) We are but a reflection in the mirror of the Almighty Creator of Life. When we gaze upon the brilliance of the purely white light within ourselves. We reveal our truest hidden nature of grace, which is God's immorality within our living beings upon this reality. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

Fast Food Prediction / Concept: Touch Screen Cashiers & Automated Food Pick-Up Slot

Hi All,

This concept is more like a prediction of sorts where fast food restaurants will be within the next ten years or so. As technology continues to outpace many of us. It will certainly start to remove the need of people at certain job roles. That is where this prediction that will over take fast food restaurant franchise chains. Removing the need for many cashier and cook personnel at such fast food outlets.

Picture a typical McDonalds restaurant with its front counter where cashier stations are at for order taking. Now picture instead of being greeted by a human cashier. Imagine a ATM like touch screen self-service cashier facing the customer inputting their order. Where they can swipe their credit/debit card, frequent customer ID tag, or place cash on a tray that is drawn into the cashier station.

The cashier touch screen station while idle will be displaying McDonald commercials or other special deals and promotions for the next pending customer.

The cooking area that is often very visible to the fast food customer. Will be automated in a conveyor belt system that is prepares the meal. Picture a coffee vending machine where the cup drops in first than the brewed coffee. This automated cooking and meal preparation system will be self-cleaning for the most part.

Still each fast food restaurant locale will have technicians to maintain the automated cooking and meal preparartion system. Including one tech for the ATM like touch screen cashier stations.

The customer will pick up their order on a tray of food or a bag at a designated pick up slot. The drive thru window will have a voice automated cashier station for the driver / customer. That can also display whilst idle commercials and deals of the restaurant at the time.

That's what I envision as the future of your local fast food restaurant chain.
