Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

I suspect many of you are pinning away hoping for the end to this Winter season and yearning for the Spring to arrive. Well I'm in the same disposition since my favorite season of the year is that of Summer.

This month's trio of "Jewels of Truth" statements are on the topics of: Goodness, Activity, and the Soul itself. May you enjoy these spiritual wisdom all original statements penned back in February 2009.

Thank you for visiting "Atrayo's Oracle" blog site.

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

927) Those who say; "All good things must come to an end." Must also realize that all good things will renew themselves in a myriad of fascinating avenues. Yes, good things come and go in our lives. But they come constantly no matter the scale of the goodness from the tiniest form of kindness to the epic miracles that happen every day. If we just become self-aware of the gentle and often sublime presence of benevolence in our midst. We shall know that God's Angels whether as people or in Spirit surround us always. Letting go of how this good should manifest in any fundamental manner allows your focus to be open completely. Being in such a sacred truth provides your life to be uplifted by a child like curiosity. That allows wonder to not only exist, but to thrive!

Be still in such an awareness and follow its synchronicities in your daily life. Gratitude is but one of the many doorways for good to appear. Just be still, and it will become a reality in your life always by grace. Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


928) Whatever one does with a heartful purpose it will be treated in Heaven and on Earth as holy in the eyes of God. Such a heart moving purpose includes joy, passion, and love all showcased by your duties. Where such attributes that exist in the activity itself also simultaneously shine brightest within God whom is always in your midst. Since these very qualities are amongst the forces God employs to convey his "Holy Will" in creation. Forget not these precepts of service in what functions you hold as a sacred activity. And you to will be truly blessed by duty and providence. Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


929) Our souls are like prisms of a living dynamic ethereal light. A Holy and Divine Light that shines brilliantly like a multifaceted diamond. Flawless in nature and yet one of the strongest elements known in creation itself. Our souls are beacons shining brightly enough to be seen like a glittering light off in the distance. The Holy Light that our souls reflect is none other than the "Spirit of God" our creator. We are mirror Images in spirit of our majestic maker. His light is the substance our souls need to thrive and flourish in our Lord's reality. Be still and know we are the living embodiment of God as infinite souls strewn across the heavens and on this Earth of ours. Amen.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

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

You will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways. ---Job 22:28.

If you have a strong mind and plant it in a firm resolve, you can change your destiny. ---Paramahansa Yogananda.

The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit. ---Moliere.

Peace & Governance Concept: Israel Leases Land & Natural Resources From Palestine

Hello All,

This concept of mine was first hatched many years ago when Prime Minister "Ariel Sharon" was unilaterally pulling out of Gaza and some West Bank settlements. I was so moved by the Jewish and Arab plight I even wrote to my U.S. Senator of Florida "Mr. Bill Nelson". Offering this idea I'm about to present here at "Atrayo's Oracle" blog site. Of course I received a canned curt response by email about Mr. Bill Nelson's position and political stance regarding Israel, and that became that in those days.

This concept stems from some history how sovereign land was handed over via the legal instrument of a land lease to a second host nation. Examples are Great Britain with China for Hong Kong (expired 1997), Portugal with China for Macau Island (expired 1999), United States with Panama for the Panama Canal (expired 2000), and finally United States with Cuba for Guantanamo Bay. (ongoing until mutual agreement for closure of lease)

Citing these historical examples above why couldn't it work to reach an uneasy peace for the Israeli and Palestinian conflict?

Whereby the legitimate Palestinian Authority and there Israeli counter-parts reach a settlement. That allows those already settled townships by Israel to be leased from Palestine. Whether they were once seized unlawfully in a land grab will be settled with this lease arrangement. There is also the question where Israel took additional natural resources such as water or agriculture lands for itself. Which opens up an additional lease for such natural resources for the Jewish people.

Once the terms, expiration date of lease, value of land and natural resource holdings financially speaking are settled upon. A committee of the legitimate Palestinian Authority officials, be they elected or appointed, including equal partners from the United States and/or United Nations will be seated at such a committee. (Israel will not be a party of such a committee) This committee will collect the lease payments for the land and natural resource holdings on behalf of the Palestinian People. Akin to a supervised Trust Fund where all monies collected shall be transparent and accountable to Palestine and International Partners. Such as for reinvestment or expenditures of Palestinian Infrastructure, Security, Economic Development, and so forth...

There will also be the question of a one time retroactive settlement. For the lands and natural resources seized and utilized during the periods not covered under the current lease. Be it paid in a lump sum or added akin to a structured settlement along with the present lease payments. Is up to Israel and Palestine to also devise in their negotiations for both lease contracts.

I do hope that the townships built by the Israeli's will not be demolished when such a lease contract expires. Given how Prime Minister Ariel Sharon ordered the destruction of all structures lest religious ones in the Gaza and West Bank pullout. That could be an additional stipulation requested by the Palestinians when the lease expires at a future date.

If such a land lease for peace is the key to the Israel and Palestinian Conflict. Than Israel could pursue a similar lease arrangement with Syria for the "Golan Heights".

As they say: "If God is willing". Amen.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

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

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

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

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

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

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


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


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

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

Enjoy present pleasures in such a way as not to injure future ones. ---Seneca.

A bird does not sing because he has an answer. He sings because he has a song. ---Joan Walsh Anglund.

If your success is not on your own terms, if it looks good to the world but does not feel good in your heart, it is not success at all. ---Anna Quindlen.

Travel Industry Concept: Gamer Vacation Packages

Hello All,

Gamers, as a demographic group of consumers globally probably spend at least tens of billions of dollars US. (conservative estimate on my part) Now when was the last time you've ever heard of a "Travel Agency" catering travel itineraries towards that of gamers of any age group? To my knowledge Zilch, Zip, Nada.

This concept is to spark the profit motives of travel agencies to get into gear in regards to vacation packages for gamers.

Down below I'm going to remark about three potential outlets that travel agencies can market gamer vacation packages.

1) Taking tour groups of gamers to a convention that is being held to either the general public. Or get this, access special permission where only industry professionals can attend IE "E3". And take a tour operator group of traveling gamers into the convention under some supervision.

Gamer convention destinations can be the common: Comic-Con, DragonCon, Quake Con, SOE (Sony Online Entertainment) Fan Faire, and Blizzards "World of Warcraft" Faire,. The professional industry conventions as I mentioned earlier "Electronic Entertainment Expo aka E3, GDC (Game Developer Conference), CES (Consumer Electronics Show), or an event at the Academy of Arts & Sciences. These later conventions are for the gamer that cares to really geek out on the game industry. In terms of workshops, lectures, summits, all to learn more technically about how games are made.

2) The second variant a tour operator could take with gamers is hosting exclusive LAN (Land Area Networks) akin to a tournament. Let's say an area of California is seeking to boost tourism. While besides catering to business conventions, or run of the mill tourists, they can also host exclusive well marketed "Gamer Tournaments". Or sponsor an existing famous convention slash tournament like that of "Quake Con". Where the gamer tourist can be loaned a preference to a basic computer rig for gaming or a souped up machine for a LAN event. Including a goody bag designed and provided to the tourist by the travel operator as a souvenir thank you gift for attending. Inside can be a run of the mill items from the sponsors of the LAN event. Much like how celebrities get goody bags at gala events. All admittance fee's, standard meals, and non-alcoholic beverages would be covered by the tour operator for the gamer tourist.

3) This last type of a gamer tourist is more destination driven in terms of the classic tourist. But themed for the gamer overall. Many tour operators take their tour groups to particular shops. Where the tour operator has mostly prearranged volume sales commissions with the shop owners. This can still be the case but with gamers and perhaps arrange discounts on purchases that can be found no where else for the gamer consumer. (since their commissions will be based on volume sales)

There can be tour groups also taken into a "Game Developer Studios or a Game Publisher's Premises". Where current games in development would be showcased. The tour operator can provide game developer or game title specific merchandising gifts to the attendants of the tour. Like T-Shirts, Baseball caps, Hoodies, etc... If a tour group at such a game developer or game publisher visits during a beta period of a particular game title. The gamer tourist can snag themselves an exclusive beta key invitation. Much like many do today when attending a game developer booth at a convention.

A gamer tourist can be shown the sites of popular cities just like the classic tourist. But also taken as a group to local franchised locations, such as: Game Works, Dave & Busters, Chucky Cheese (if kids are brought along), or Disney Quest. (if in Orlando FL.) Where again admittance fee's, standard meals, non-alcoholic beverages, and complimentary tokens are all covered by the tour operator. (additional tokens are at cost for the tourist) If such a location isn't desirable than a local gamer Internet Cafe with complimentary time is offered to the tourist. (anything above that is at cost for the tourist)

The destination travel sites like Florida or California would be great for guild or clan get together. Where many gamers are flying into one common location to meet for the first time and have a blast.

Those tour operators that host their own exclusive LAN events with corporate sponsorships. Could also host Augmented Reality treasure hunts provided by the sponsors. Similar to an "Easter Egg Hunt" but using portable gadgets. Supplied either by the tour operator or the sponsors as a loaner for the event.

I'm sure other potential activities could be devised by a tour operator catering to gamers. Be it power leveling, or "How To's" for a particular MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game title held as a workshop. Right along a gamer tourist attending a Blizzard or SOE annual convention. The only restriction is how enterprising can a travel agency be in marketing such vacation packages to gamers. I haven't even mentioned anything about cruise ships holding similar events just for gamers.

The sky is the limit for the tour operator. For the gamer tourist many splendid lifetime memories will certainly be created and cherished throughout the years to come.

Peace & Governance Concept: China Assimilates North Korea As A Protectorate Territory

Hello All,

I'm about to state a very unconventional proposed solution that the unstable State of North Korea poses to the world at large. In a move that will make the Chinese appear as either saviors or as a rising colonial power of the 21st century from the East.

Noting that the oldest known civilizations known to humanity besides that of Northern Africa or Asia Minor. Is also located in the East that being with present day China and India. China in particular was a super power many thousands of years ago. And, with the ascending of the East it will be once again. This is not an occurrence to be feared, since it can yield many wonderful opportunities for those of us in the West.

As the pendulum continues to swing back onto the East. Taking note that in the last 2 to 3 centuries the Western powers were known as the Colonial powers of the world. Which to this day Great Britain, France, and the United States all have territories far from their mainland nations. As the East becomes prominent in regards to China and India I foresee both nations becoming the new colonial powers, but from the East. Aiding unstable nations be it in Africa, the Middle East, or in Central and South America. This won't happen tomorrow, but it could potentially occur in the coming centuries.

With this assessment in hand at least as how I foresee it taking a cue from Human history. In order to diffuse the hostility coming from a very unstable North Korea. I propose for the Chinese to further reduce embarrassment from actions or saber rattling from North Korea. Where the tensions of South Korea if not the United States or the United Nations could fully escalate into another armed conflict with North Korea. That through negotiations the Chinese step in and Annex North Korea as its protectorate State. Basically becoming a Chinese territory, since China has had experience on a much smaller scale in terms to "Hong Kong". When the British handed its former territory back to China when its lease of Hong Kong had elapsed.

Although the Chinese will not be leasing North Korea as a territory. Besides any hopes for a Korean unification will be dashed completely for the South Koreans. It will spell an end to the troublesome armistice that ended the Korean conflict some 50 years earlier. Where the aggressions of North Korea will be muted entirely by the Chinese. The 6 party talks with North Korea will cease due to the fact that Chinese will assume complete supervision of the North Korean nuclear program.

If North Korea accepted itself as a Chinese Protectorate it will see itself in a new and stronger light. The present critical state of a North Korean economy will be merged into the overall Chinese economy. The adoption of the Chinese yuan as a currency will be assumed. China for its part will assume responsibility for the welfare and infrastructure needs of North Korea. By gradual benchmarks the North Korean military will be assimilated into the overall Chinese military forces as conscripts.

China in return will gain access to all North Korean mineral rights, maritime fisheries, and agriculture lands. Following the rulebook as to how China is already developing such commodity rich assets within Africa.

The North Korea president and ruling elites will become equal partners with the Chinese in governance of North Korea at all levels of government. The North Korean defacto monarchy will be recognized by the Chinese State. Where the monarchy will have a say in national and military policy with limited powers. As agreed to during the negotiations with the Chinese where they assumed a greater responsibility with North Korea as its protectorate.

The West be it the United States, European, and the United Nations. If not to a limited extent the South Koreans and the Japanese will have one former fear from North Korea assailed. Although a new fear to replace it in watching as to how the expansionism of China will be displayed. Where its military powers becoming even greater in absorbing the 4th greatest army in the world, that being of North Korea.

The West can not have its cake and eat it too, at least not at the same time. So with this fact stated an uneasy "Win / Win" scenario can be achieved. Where the North Korean threat becomes emasculated by the Chinese. Although with it the Chinese gaining its first major territorial block. By fulfilling its destiny as a colonial power from the East for the 21st century and beyond.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

I hope your "New Year" festivities were pleasant and safe. I'm sorta late in posting this installment of "Jewels of Truth" due to taking a personal family trip to Miami, FL. It is just now I've caught up now to my old routine of activities.

Today's trio of all original spiritual wisdom statements are on the topics of: Appreciation, Will Power, and the "Will of God". Enjoy them, and your comments are always welcome.

Thanks.

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

921) Why do we crave for love and appreciation as souls?

We are more than a singular spiritual entity of God's making. When we combine our interests with other beings of a like mind and heart we truly become alive. We can transcend our mere mortal shells into a splendor that only God(dess) can offer us. We become one in a unified "Spirit of God" where such a harmony affords us the attributes of love and appreciation. In truth when we harmonize such qualities in ourselves and within others we become open vessels. Allowing our spirits to transcend the mundane into the sublime according to the "Will of God". Which constantly bathes our spirits in the rays of his glorious absolute Love. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


922) Where there is a will, there is always an avenue to succeed. Having a fortified will of perseverance allows a person to travel past naysayers and inner criticism. To a land of promise full of opportunity and bountiful growth to be seized and shared with many. The mother of invention grants good cheer to those who seek the fruit of their labors with an inner resolve of confidence.

Those who succumb to doubts and naysayers are broken before they have fully begun their own journey to promise and gratitude. Listen to your courage within your heart, ignore the doubts within your nagging mind of angst. Be wary of the criticism of naysayers, many have forfeited their own glories by listening to their own doubts first. The ones with strength shall overcome many obstacles before them. But know the path is not a solitary one, many true friends and helpers will be found along the way. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


923) When one permits themselves to ardently follow the "Will of God" by a faithful devotion. This is when wonders and all manners of grace shall become self-evident, by the numerous daily occurrences in our lives. By invoking a glorious tradition according to the precepts of morality set though out all benevolent humane traditions. One only becomes empowered to cross into a Holy threshold of a truthful living. When such a decent lifestyle follows in the footsteps of the divine giants that came before us. This grants us the ability to transgress our flawed human nature by God's grace. Into a steadfast miraculous dynamic where our spirits become imbued in the radiance of God's mercy. We begin to make things happen that were once uncommon to us during our normal hours. We begin to parallel the "Will of God" with those of a like mind, heart, and spirit. When we follow this "Will of God" we all celebrate in the majesty of our loving creator. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

The whole of the holy life is good friends. ---The Buddha. (To his cousin Ananda.)

Appreciation is the vessel for future blessings. ---Michael Berg.

When forced to make a choice between a greater evil and a lesser evil, choose to look for the greater good instead. ---Words to Remember Quest. By: Mother Deasie, Rivervale, Everquest 2 MMORPG, by "Sony Online Entertainment".

MMO Games Concept: Universal Avatar Service

Hello All,

For those of you that are PC gamers that have played multiple MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game worlds in the course of your life so far. Will know that in each game world you play on your basically creating your avatar from scratch. What if you don't have to go that route any longer? What if you had the choice to play a "Master Avatar" that is created in your main MMO and can be transferred to other MMOG within reason. How many of you would enjoy such an option offered by a game publisher that hosts multiple MMO game titles? Let's say what if: SOE (Sony Online Entertainment), NC Soft, iJJi, Nexon, Aeria, and a lesser extent EA Games or Turbine Entertainment.

All of those game publishers if not others that offer 3 or more MMO game titles in their catalog. Could offer a value added option of the "Universal Avatar Service" or (UAS) for a shorthand acronym from now on in this description. I'll use references of SOE in my examples since I'm most familiar with their selection of MMO game titles.

Consider SOE that offers a premium subscriber plan called "Station Access" at $30 US each month. That a premium subscriber plan could offer already to its members at no additional charge minus some "up sell" Ala carte charges explained later on. For those game publishers listed above that are F2P business model mostly. Than a "Universal Avatar Service or (UAS)" can be utilized as an account upgrade option. If not for those F2P game publishers can offer a (UAS) feature at $10 to $20 US at a one time fee. Also the game publisher like SOE, NC Soft, EA Games (That owns Mythic Entertainment & Origin Systems makers of "Ultima Online") can choose to offer a (UAS) service plan as an account upgrade option. Can charge the aforementioned $10 to $20 one time fee plus an additional $3 to $5 US dollars each month. (if it wasn't offered via a premium subscriber plan like SOE's "Station Access")

Now that the general pricing scheme has been explained minus the would be "up sell" charges in getting the attention of the game publishers. This is what a "Universal Avatar Service" plan is all about.

First, continuing with SOE MMO game titles as per the examples in which they offer. That a (UAS) player account that creates a player character in their main MMO game world of choice. Can transfer or export that player race to all other MMO game worlds, no matter if the game theme or lore is utterly different. For example, picture "Star Wars Galaxies" where a player creates a "Wookie" as a player race. With a "Universal Avatar Service" plan that player can export their "Wookie" avatar into all other SOE MMO games as an exclusive option. Be it: Everquest, Everquest 2, Planetside, Vanguard, Free Realms, the upcoming MMO's of "The Agency or DC Online Universe". The only difference is how that "Wookie" player avatar will appear due to the different graphic engine's in each MMO game world. But, all the racial traits of that "Wookie" will be maintained in all game worlds that the player wishes to explore within the SOE MMO games catalog they host.

Second, a player with a (UAS) account will create a "Universal Surname" for their master avatar. Where the first name can be altered from MMO game world to game world. But the family name per say would be the universal identifier of such a master avatar played in numerous game worlds.

Third, the (UAS) account will maintain the same gender of their master avatar in all game worlds. If they wish to alter the gender of the avatar in another game world this is where one of the two aforementioned "Up sell" charges is utilized. For a fee of anywhere $3 to $5 US dollars the player can alter the gender of their master avatar for that one particular MMO game world they have just entered.

Fourth, this feature is one of the most important ones that the base player class or skill set can be maintained as a form of continuity across all game worlds. The (UAS) account will have the option to exercise by their choice to keep the base player class or skill set. Which they had in their main MMO game world, when the (UAS) first began.

So if that aforementioned player "Wookie" was a "Doctor" in "Star Wars Galaxies" they'll have the option of being a "Templar" in "Everquest 2". One base class or profession in-game if not a skill set for a MMO game world that uses a skill tree system instead. Can be transferred from game world to game world at the players discretion. Of course the player can opt to go with another class or skill set instead. Without feeling the need to being pigeon holed in game play, but at least it is an option for them to explore.

If the (UAS) player chooses to keep their main class or skill set into another MMO game world. They'll have the second opportunity of the next "Up sell" by the game publisher. That for an additional fee say $10 to $15 US a player can opt to be given a player character at a mid level range in game play. For example in a game world with a level cap at 50 can opt for a level 25 avatar in the base player class or skill set that was transferred to this new game world. What this offers is a need to avoid the newbie content at the outset of the game. But not cheating the player out of the high end game content. Which they'll still have to earn via game play achievements just like the general population in that particular game world. This also offers the player the chance to avoid at least up to a mid range player character. From replaying the same base player class or skill set in effort that was already invested in their main MMO game title.

Fifth, SOE had offered for a time a player character service called "Station Players". For their games of Everquest, Everquest 2, and Vanguard which included player stat tracking, leader board's and rankings, personal photo galleries, item database, rag doll profile picture with stats of personal equipment being shown. All of these offerings comes with a "Universal Avatar Service" plan at the outset. It will be offered on a personal web page with tabbed tracking results just like SOE "Station Players" was designed to offer. But, also other players can right click the player avatar's in that particular game world and inspect them. Seeing similar information from that one or more game worlds the (UAS) exists within. It is up to the (UAS) player to offer publicly or restrict the information or pictures that are shown in privacy permissions.

Another secondary offering of this feature is for those online game communities that have game divisions in multiple MMO games. Where 3 to 5 (UAS) players or more are listed in any one particular guild in-game. The guild stats, rankings, photo's, wealth holdings, etc... will be tracked as a courtesy. So the "Universal Avatar Service" players that belong to a mutual guild that plays at multiple MMO game worlds from that one particular game publisher. Will have this added incentive to their game play sessions in many MMO game worlds.

So to recap the "Universal Avatar Service" plan will have a player account the option to export from their main MMO game title. Their player race, class / skill set (if so desired and pay extra for a mid range character), universal surname, gender (a fee to alter a player gender per game title), and a player character tracking stats and progress service across multiple MMO's (including their guild if it qualifies). All of these features can be transferred to any number of MMO game titles that such a particular game publisher offers. Within their present to future inventory of MMO game titles.

This is a shot in the arm of premium subscriber plans for those game publishers that base their business on game subscribers. If not F2P (Free to Play) game publishers offering such an upgrade account option at an added fee via a micro-transaction store front. The days of redundancy in game play can be changed from its current model for gamers into the creation of a "Master Avatar" across numerous game world titles. It is up to the game publisher if they so wish to pursue it as an offering for their installed customer base.

Television Concept: Tv Sets With Virtual Remote Controls

Hello All,

With Christmas only two days away here in my part of sunny Florida. How many of you would enjoy a television of tomorrow available today?

No I'm not speaking of those 3-D televisions with the clunky 3D glasses in order to get an eventual migraine headache. How about a television that allows the user to be their own "Remote Control". Where through voice recognition and wireless motion controller technology. The days of fumbling for a remote control under the couch cushions are gone.

Television remote control technology has been with us for about 25 to 30 years or so. Yes, its gotten way more sophisticated by adding more programmable features and confusing buttons. Where the remote control of today appears more like a magical wand of a techno wizard.

Picture, where you the TV user can control and interact with your television either by voice commands. Such as loudly saying "TV On, TV Channel 46, TV Surf My Favorite Channels, and of course TV Off". Noting that when addressing the television you can select the default "TV" nickname or create your own. So there won't be any confusion when addressing your television for a verbal command.

What about if your not interested in speaking commands like to a faithful domestic pet, albeit electronic in this case. You care to use hand or arm gestures via a wireless motion controller technology to prompt the television to your desired results. Similar to today's Microsoft Xbox 360 "Kinnect" technology that has recently debuted for its video game console. Where you the TV viewer can input motions within the range of the TVs motion camera to execute commands. Like waving your hands like you would to a person saying hello, but in this case it turns on your television. Or clapping your hands in order to turn off the television. Like the classic "Clapper" technology of years past to turn on or off lamps and so forth. Of course noting if clapping the TV virtual remote system would need safe guards. To avoid false sounds like a thunderstorm lightening clap triggering the television each time for its programmed input command.

There can be of course a combination of the two virtual remote control input commands used in tandem. Like the clapping that both triggers the sound portion of the voice recognition platform and the wireless motion controller of the TV set. Or a TV viewer says "Alice (as the TVs nickname) go to channel 46 and the TV viewer also waves their hand to cancel that command request at the last moment."

The virtual remote control will also have a portion of the TV screen. Say like a quarter of the screen that is a dedicated command screen that pop's on or off. When the TV viewer makes their command inputs, be it voice or motion controller. The virtual command screen that pops up is the equivalent of today's remote control. It also acts as a confirmation page that the television has accurately heard or seen via motions your input commands to execute. This virtual command screen can be pre-positioned to be anywhere on the screen that the user feels most comfortable with in viewing. For example be it in the center of the TV screen or one of its four corners.

In the future such virtual remote control televisions can have additional layers of interactivity. Such as advertisers promoting a new product on TV. Where the TV viewer either by a voice command input or by a pre-selected motion gesture would request additional information or a product discount coupon. Where the TV viewers information such as postal address is securely stored on a users TV set.

The voice recognition and wireless motion controller platform can also allow the original television owner. To create a "Master Password" whereby if the television is ever stolen when plugged into another location as per a physical postal address. If the "Master Password" isn't spoken and gestured the television won't operate. And it'll trigger an alert when its connected to a cable or satellite dish connection other than its own. (at its predefined physical postal address)

The added convenience and depth of interactivity can only grow with a virtual remote controlled enabled television. Be it with voice recognition or wireless motion control platforms as part of a brand new stand alone television set or purchased as an additional peripheral for the Television.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

It's that time of the month again for another original trio of "Jewels of Truth" to be shared.

I hope many of you are preparing well and enjoying this festive time of the year. No matter your faith this is often a time to rekindle our relationships with one another. To value what is good and cherish the rest with a spirit of thanksgiving and delight.

A week ago I finished writing my 3rd Volume to the "Jewels of Truth" series. As I stated in my last entry back in November that each volume consists of 365 all original spiritual wisdom statements and/or proverbs. So my running total to date is 1098, so technically I've started to write volume 4. :o) Albeit writing the material is one thing for me, another more time consuming is compiling it into a proper manuscript. Since I write all this material by hand and then edit and transcribe it to digital form when I'm able to do so. I'm still going at a snails pace of compiling the manuscript of volume 2 needing another 109 statements to be set into place. With all likelihood I'll publish or more likely self-publish via "iUniverse" itself. Much like i did with Volume 1 "Jewels of Truth: A Soul Odyssey Within".

Although one day I do hope that I find myself a literally agent within the field of spirituality. Or knowing synchronicity I hope a good one finds me. Since I seem to lack the business acumen needed in the world of publishing much less have a proper marketing budget of my own. That will give this spiritual wisdom material of mine its proper due in the fullness of time.

Today's three "Jewels of Truth" topics cover the areas of: a Rainbow, Vigilance, and Magic. Do note that statement #919 was originally shared on this blog site on December 18th, 2008 which was the same day it was written. It was one of those that was very inspiring for me to share just like the recent #1088 back in late November of this year.

So without a further adieu here are spiritual wisdom statements: #917, #918, and #920.

Enjoy.

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

917) Our souls shine brightly like a rainbow of life. Where we are accompanied by many spiritual elements throughout our sojourn on this Earth of ours. In Spirit we are never alone, we constantly have the blessed company of our loves ones. Be they known to us in this lifetime or if they have been with us in numerous lifetimes. Each Spirit acting as a "Ray of Light" shines its own brilliance of a holy light within the "Rainbow" of our life. We are united in a common purpose, where ever we go be it safe or not on this Earth or beyond. Our heavenly companions surround our spirit as if a constant bubble of absolute love that only the Holy Spirit is capable of producing. Those that accept such a rainbow of heavenly unity shall walk in peace and with the grace of God(dess) always without fail. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


918) Those with a vigilant heart must always uphold the truth for the common good. Doing so permits transparency of the masses so as to govern with prudence and wise counsel. If the populace does not hold a government, a corporation, or any other institution in check. Than gross negligence, abuses of the system, or crimes will be committed without regard to safety, property, or the utmost general welfare for all that allows liberty to flourish.

Vigilance must occur in tandem with those who are honest brokers for the justice of the many. Otherwise there will be no accountability for the abuses or high crimes done to the State or its own citizenry. Without vigilance there is no hope for the highest good of all that are concerned for the agenda of the many. Vigilance is the sentinel of the astute and the considerate. For a place where justice is the highest and fairest regard for all who are of the "Light of God". ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


920) I believe and know in Magic! This magic is not pagan or based upon witchcraft. It is based on the sacred "Divinity" within all of us and the beauty of life itself. This magic I speak of manifests itself in synchronicities, omens, blessings, and most of all "Miracles" both small and large. Another word for this magic is the "Grace" of God(dess) that performs wonders that are dynamic and vibrantly alive.

All of life is singing in harmony. It is only when we quiet the turmoil around our minds & hearts and truly listen. Can we begin to hear the orchestra of God(dess) in its fullest splendor. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

The more alert we become to the blessing that flows into us through everything we touch, the more our own touch will bring blessing. ---David Steindl-Rast. "A Listening Heart".

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone. ---Audrey Hepburn.

By three methods we may learn wisdom: First, by reflection, which is noblest; Second, by imitation, which is easiest; and Third by experience, which is the bittersweet. ---Confucius.

Controversial Concept: Italian Corruption In The Garbage Industry

Hello All,

I first learned about the plight of the Italian citizenry of corrupt mafia driven garbage industry. When a few years ago the island of Sicily succumbed to the crisis. However since the mid 1990's or so the lovely city of Naples has the same dismal legacy of corruption with its garbage industry. Due to the Mafia or as they are known around the Campania region of Italy. As the "Camorra" a criminal syndicate like any other with historical ties to the country.

My controversial concept is only a partial drop in the bucket solution which is a form of Poetic Justice all its own. Basically it is two pronged one in classifying the "Camarro" or Mafia organizations throughout Italy as "Enemies of the State". Akin to an illegal militia, what this could do is make it the Italian military's problem. Similar as to how Mexico is dealing with its own decades long corruption along its northern border with the U.S..

The second prong of my proposal is seizing the villa estates of known Camarro Don leaders. If not corrupted Italian government officials and seize a portion of their assets and estates. Whereby the aforementioned villa estates that are out in the country side away from large density residential populations. Be Rezoned into Garbage Dumping Grounds this is the poetic justice to be served filthy and diseased to these villains of the State.

The villas can be seized under a national police or military raid. Since local police can not be trusted due to potential corruption with the local mafia groups. During seizure all property in furnishings, especially antiques and/or any vehicles become property of the State to be liquidated. In order to fund properly the enterprise of the garbage industry of converting this recently seized villa into a garbage dumping ground.

There have been reports since 2004 in Naples Italy of riots from citizens. Because of an incinerator being built that will affect the health of the local population. Other riots from citizens by placing a converted plot of land near a residential and agriculture vicinity into a garbage dumping ground. Where entire garbage trucks were set ablaze in protest. Needing police escorts for said garbage trucks in order to conduct their business.

The Italian government is in over its head with its current counter measures against corrupt Mafia and government officials. New bold initiatives to protect the citizens from these illegal predators of the State are required. My concept is but one that could be considered before more lives are endangered from riots to an environmental catastrophe.

A Heaven Beyond "Space And Time" As A Dimension

Hello All,

First, all of those here in the States I would like to wish you a "Happy Thanksgiving" holiday. May good company and delicious meals be served by family and friends alike.

Now just yesterday I finished writing "Jewels of Truth" statement #1088 which will be part of Volume 3. Where every Jewels of Truth volume consists of 365 statements slash proverbs. So subsequently this is part of the tail end of Volume 3 just days away from being completed at least in content. I'm still compiling Volume 2 at a snails pace however.

This statement #1088 inspired by the technique of automatic writing explains something of grand importance at least to those of faith and to meta-physicians. That the realm of "Heaven" is not in a specific place or occupies any sort of dimensional sovereign space. It is a realm or a reality beyond "Space & Time" completely and Statement #1088 explains it to a relative degree.

Enjoy.

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

1088) We as humanity envision creation through the prism of "Time and Space". This is all well and good, except for the fact the realities of the Spirit realms are not governed by these principles. Picture a realm without any places to occupy. What comes to mind is nothing at all, but that is incomplete in conjecture. There is a something there and that ethereal substance or essence is a limitless energy field. A catalyst force that gave shape and meaning to the physical realities. Not as a parent, but as an extension of itself from the power of all souls on a macro scale. In which you so appropriately call "God(dess)" as a Divine entity.

Angels in spirit have no bodies per say and no height or width. Because Heaven is not occupied in a place. Its a field or realm of pure holy catalyst energy. Spirits have no scope of size to them because there is no space in the ethereal realms. What they do have is a sheer force or a magnitude of energetic authority due to the indwelling "Spirit of God". This is the distinction from the ethereal to the physical realities.

In terms of a ghost that is sighted with a given corporeal form as a person of sorts. That is just a psychic impression from the memory of that particular soul. Projecting its appearance into what was akin to a form of nostalgia. Not a mirage, but a memory given shape and an outlined psychic residue projected outward.

There is a Hope for science to grasp such a distinctive view of creation. If it is to grapple with its role in the great beyond, not just in "Outer Space", but within the realms of "Inner Space" that binds all realities as One. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

For those of you in Canada I hope your "Thanksgiving Holiday" was enjoyed well. Here in the States our "Thanksgiving" celebrations are just around the corner. Where we hopefully enjoy quality time with our friends and families. Sharing a good meal, and if able according to your budgets donate some time or money to a worthy charity of your choice.

Myself I'm more mindful of the plight of local food banks and our homeless population.

Without a further adieu, enjoy this months trio of all original "Jewels of Truth" statements on the topics of: Light, Intentions, and the Over soul.

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

914) We are the "Light of God" the Majestic. This light is the lifeblood of all creation from its simplest to most complex forms of being. We must by grace "Shine" truly so as to spread this glorious light of God(dess) within us all. In doing so we set each other free with a diversity that is only mirrored by the beautiful array of all mother nature herself. If we allow this spiritual Light within us to be hidden. We are committing an injustice not only to ourselves, but to all who are near and far from our reach.

This "Light of God" is abundant and without limit in its scope and supply. When we give of the Light of God(dess) within us. We act as co-creators by shining brightly and purely with unconditional Love. Our "Light" is alive and vibrant as a living praise to the Glory of God(dess). Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


915) Those who hold a sacred intention by unconditional love and have the power to purify themselves. Can achieve any miracle that is sought as long as they take the proper steps to achieve the desired results. That are for the highest grace for all life in terms of following the "Will of God". Those who can realize this wisdom fully can to wonders based on an absolute Love for the world and to a greater extent themselves. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


916) Our souls acting out as an incarnation of our "Highest Self" or known as the "Over Soul". Will inhabit various dimensional planes of existence be it from the numerous ethereal realms down to the physical common reality. Consider "Space & Time" as if a geometric circle representing our evolution in the span of a lifetime. Our "Highest Self" as a witness absorbs all of our stages of a mortal life. Be it our mothers womb, our physical birth, our total life, and our return to Spirit in passing from mortality. To us, such a life can be blessed by many decades of a linear time line in one or more regional landscapes. To the "Over Soul" all of this occurs in a realm without time nor space as a dimension. So all this occurs instantly like a compressed reality akin to a fast forward playback recording. Similar as to how those with an experience of their life flashing before their eyes near a hazardous encounter.

Now consider a multitude of our twin souls, who are a mirror images of ourselves having incarnations in other time lines within the space time continuum. Be it as humanity in our ever present world, or other lifetimes that are to be perceived as bizarre from our vantage point. Why this occurs is that God is hedging his bets in order to experience all realities be it our own or parallel ones. In order to be a living dynamic monotheist / plural-theist deity. So as to experience the totality of creation through his / her own creations. Not as a Divine puppet master, but as a loving parental figure that transcends fickle curiosity into the sublime affections of all life. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
