Jewels of Truth Statement: "Diamonds Are Forever"

Hello All,

The official start of the season of Summer is fast upon us. With that said I have another recently minted "Jewels of Truth" statement numbered in the series at #1270 for a distant Volume 4 text. It's on the topic of spiritually speaking how our "Divine Love" is the brilliance of our "Souls" as the eternal diamond.

May you enjoy.

Diamonds Are Forever

1270)  The most eternal diamond we know in creation where its brilliance shines with a luster unknown, but to the faithful is absolute Love. Any goddess as a child will know her own reflection within the diamond of the eternal. She will know herself as an extension of the "Goddess of gods". All women who value diamonds of this Earth on a soul level will recall their brilliance from heaven. A hand maiden of the one God(dess) that is our eternal mother. Whom nurtures all who come humbly to suckle from her life giving breasts of mothers milk. The lands of "Milk & Honey" are always of a paradise we all remember as heaven made manifest on this Earth. By what we will by compassionate thought becomes whole once more alive again borne of all our graces. Beautiful to behold and to be held once more in the eternal reflection within the heavenly diamond we call the "Soul". Amen.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. 

Nuclear Power Industry Concept: "Underground Nuclear Power Plant Facilities"

Hello All,

Today's topic is based upon a simple no brainer that the Nuclear Power Industry World-wide could pursue for its future development of its own infrastructure of energy production. We all now know of the hazards of radiological fallout from a nuclear weapon if not the meltdown of a nuclear power plant. Like the all too recent Japanese "Fukushima Daiichi" 2011 disaster it recently experienced. What if there was another smarter way to construct nuclear power plant facilities?

Currently from learning the hard way of radiological fall out from the 1940's-1950's above ground nuclear weapons testing globally. The developed nations with their own nuclear weapons testing began testing nuclear weapons designs with an underground denotations. Why not the nuclear power industry develop a lair bunker like power plant facility underground? If the developed nations military can have nuclear powered submarines as a mobile aquatic vehicle. Why not a fixed installation underground to generate nuclear power underground safely in a bunker like lair system? So if God forbid a nuclear meltdown incident occurs sections of the lair can be easily quarantined underground or entombed as necessary.

How many more nuclear power plant facilities must meltdown by an accident until we learn this lesson the hard way? Just like the world powers learned about testing nuclear weapons yields above ground? Russia, has had two nuclear power plant meltdowns. One as the infamous 1986 Chernobyl and the other lesser known as the 1957 Mayak or formerly known as the Chelyabinsk-40. (Mayak 1957 Incident) America, had its own 1979 "3 Mile Island" near meltdown or china syndrome incident in Pennsylvania. To date Japan has already closed down all of its 50 nuclear power reactors in regards to phasing out of all nuclear power plant generation. (Japan Without Nuclear Power, Ever Again) Germany, shocked at what happened to Japan at "Fukushima Daiichi" in 2011 will also gradually phase out all of its nuclear power facilities in Europe.

Here in America we have roughly around 104 nuclear power plant reactors. Originally built back in the 1950's through the 1960's many of which have had their existing foot print expanded several times over. Now for the first time in nearly 40 years time many new generation nuclear power plant facilities are going through the permitting process. Why not develop one of these future nuclear power plant facilities or a smaller scale prototype as a completely underground facility?

The Federal government spent billions of dollars in the "Yucca Mountain" nuclear power waste site. A boon in construction dollars to the State economy of Nevada. Than the Federal Senator "Henry Reid" basically nixed the entire project as it was about to come online. Making the entire facility a boondoggle or a "bridge to nowhere". Why not convert a portion of the "Yucca Mountain" nuclear waste site into a nuclear power plant underground facility? Its already been zoned per say by the Federal and State government for housing nuclear power waste in perpetuity. Just add an expansion or carve out an existing section of the "Yucca Mountain" facility for a lair like bunker for nuclear power generation.

If not "Yucca Mountain" than another isolated mountain that can be carved out from the inside out. Just like the U.S. Military did with the Joint Task force Initiative of "NORAD" or the "North American Aerospace Defense Command". Within the "Cheyenne Mountain Operations Center" in the State of Colorado. The United States has already prior experience with such a mountain installation why not extend it to the worlds first nuclear power plant facility housed inside a mountain? Conjecture would have it if the United States has secret underground installations known as "Black Sites". They could in theory already have a nuclear power plant reactor all their own in usage in an underground environment.

This can be done with the engineering vision by the nuclear power industry. If not in America, perhaps the enterprising Chinese who are doing herculean infrastructure projects all their own. The Chinese in my opinion is like the United States in the 1950's-1960's in development of its golden years of infrastructure projects. The difficulties facing America today with its crumbling infrastructure will surely be faced by China in 60 years time. However that is another topic for another time. If I was part of the Nuclear Industry lobby, which I'm in no way an engineer just a humble futurist. I would be offering either Germany or Japan the idea of developing a new generation of nuclear power plant generation underground or within an existing mountain environment. This goes without saying within an encapsulated underground lair or the interior of a mountain any potential of a nuclear power plant incident is more so easily contained. Where sections can be sealed off and if necessary entombed due to its existing bunker like construction.

Let's hope someone gets wind of this idea and my argument for the pro's of this futuristic initiative for the Nuclear Power Industry. 

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

I hope many of you are enjoying the changing of climate from spring to summer during this period of the year. Albeit here in Florida our summer came earlier in spring time with a warmer season. A shout out to "Armed Forces Day" coming this 3rd Saturday of the month of May here in the States. A tribute to our five branches of the American military at least that's how it's celebrated in America. Numerous other nations across the globe have their own version of this holiday as well.

Today's "Jewels of Truth"  trio of original spiritual wisdom statements was first written back in early July 2009. On the topics of being: Holy, Prayer, and Grieving. In the numbered series of #966-968.

As always may you find these pearls of wisdom insightful and intriguing.

Be well, and have a blessed good journey to your soul Lady Donna Summer our "Queen of Disco" who passed away earlier today.

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

966) We are all holy beings in a true spiritual essence created in the Image and likeness of our maker God. Although we may not always pride ourselves of this attribute due to our mortal failings. When we conduct ourselves in a manner not befitting our spiritual inheritance. We can grow in a holy stature by reclaiming it "Day by day" or as needed "Moment by moment". As we open our minds and hearts to the divine "Holy Spirit" in our midst than the majesty that is God will carry us forward. Past our turbulent lives with a resolve like no other, akin to a blessed wind at our backs. Then we create a conduit or channel directly into our spiritual being that begins as a humble "Drip drop" like within a subterranean cavern. If we persist throughout the years in reclaiming our spiritual identity for our highest good. We grow renewed that once humble channel of life affirming nourishment. Turns into a formidable torrent of a subterranean river coursing through our being out into our loved ones and quite especially into our common environment. With all the endowed graces followed by a holy providence to settle our debts into blessed credits. That only God and his Angels can weave into our reality as the co-creators of our blessed fate. Amen.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


967)  Wherever our hearts may be so is a dearly felt supplication to God(dess) in an instant of grand exaltation. Many of us relish to be loved and especially to love in return by the nature God has bestowed upon our souls. However we may falter by not knowing our inherited graces by denying ourselves. The privilege of knowing God on a very personal devotional basis. It is only when we honor our truest sense of ourselves by listening to our gentle hearts with a compassionate mind. That we can achieve in prayer a union with the heavenly divine which is sacred within our own being. Your God, my God, our God by whatever tradition you observe the creator and ascribe to in holy names. In such a holy instant that we have been receptive to our hearts followed by its gentle murmurs as a form of guidance. Such is the divine pleasure of knowing our hearts as a form of prayer where we listen instead of speaking directly with God. Amen.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


968) How hurt one must feel when a dearly loved one succumbs to his or her own mortality by perishing from this world of ours. Many see this often as a sudden departure as a shock to our psyche, if not to our emotional hearts. Where a process of grieving must ensue if not emotional and mental difficulties would persist to our determent.

There is another alternative that can be realized and taken to heart. When a soul releases from their physical body they do so in relief. Literally the "Weight of the World" passes away from their corporeal form. They pass through the eye of the needle as a sliver or a veil between the dimensions of creation onto the realms of Spirit. The longer those loved ones who are mourning a death. The departed spirit of such a soul will empathize your pain and suffering. Clinging onto you like an anchor out of a selfless devotion of love. Those of you who are grieving must at one point release through surrendering your pain back to God. Allowing both of you to move onwards with your own destinies be they divergent paths or not. Smothering your mourning pain as a very selfish act will ensure your grief to be maintained. Give your consent that your dearly departed loved one to move into their own version of paradise with God everlasting.

Paradoxically surrendering your grief will allow it to be replaced with something better. Akin to a recycling of your emotions giving a space for solace to take hold. This is the path of a personal recovery of a death of a loved. This will be your healing balm to move forward with a confidence even if its feels shaky. The days and months will eventually blur into years if not decades if your granted a long life on this Earth. The memories of joy and love shared and created with your kin strengthens your bonds well into heaven. They become immortal through your blessed memories when you invoke them in tenderness. Ultimately God(dess) is the keeper as a repository of all such everlasting memories of absolute love. It's continually being broadcasted through the "Holy Spirit" in order to promote a perfect heavenly realm we know as creation. Amen.   ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Give all to love; obey thy heart. ---Ralph Waldo Emerson.

The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. ---Elisabeth Kubler-Ross.

The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose. ---Heda Bejar.

Jewels of Truth Statement On "Good & Evil"

Hello All,

Every month I'm sharing often new material I've just penned as of recently in regards to my hobby of spiritual wisdom. This month of May is no different and the topic is on "Good & Evil". It's "Jewels of Truth" statement #1258 in the series which will find itself into a future Volume 4 of my books. This spiritual wisdom individual statement I share aside from the trio of "Jewels of Truth" segment I share every month. I've singled out as unique in offering a contemplative alternative view to spirituality as a whole. The points brought up may be ancient, but the subject matter is on going as you'll see in just a moment's time.

As always my writing style is inclusive with a universal view point of the spiritual. No matter one's religious tradition I share original material from a mystical stance. May you the reader not just merely enjoy but find yourselves engaged in a positive manner. Adding to your own spiritual tradition whatever it may be in all sacred expressions.

Be well, Namaste.

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

1258) In our reality "Good & Evil" are locked in an eternal struggle for dominance. For the Spirit realms as Infinite as they are this is not the case. Both "Heaven & Hell" are free from struggle their dominance is assured. Beyond peace there is balance between them for an eternity. Their purpose fulfilled as a haven of souls according to each their own alignment of purpose.

Here in our world our comprehension as spiritual beings within mortal bodies. We are exposed to an illusion of a constant struggle between "Good & Evil". The polarity of these two properties causes us to absorb our own soul development. This mortal reality is a catalyst to grow our ageless souls. The catalyst is brought onward by the construct by laws that govern reality as a whole. What we refer to as life being a dream spiritually as people is also our combined reality with consequences or karma. The illusion of our separation as social mammals does not deny our eternal divine oneness through God(dess) forever. It is the collective souls in creation as the power source permitting this dream of a mortal reality to be real to us. Amen.   ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

It is that time of the month where I'll share a trio of all original spiritual wisdom statements I call the "Jewels of Truth" series. This month's trio of entries were first penned back in late June 2009 on the topics of: Mortality, Environmental, and Being True. All of these statements are meant to be introspective with a universal theme to challenge our assumptions of ourselves and the world at large.

The show must go on as they say, so without a further adieu may you enjoy and have your thoughts provoked in a positive manner.

Be well.

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

963) Breathing is for mortals that tarry for a time and than as a visitor depart as a guest to this Earth of ours. We as human beings are not long lasting on this world we have inherited from our fore fathers. What we are if we choose wisely to be is our only concern for a time. No longer than that shall we be afforded such a gift of life. We can live if we are brave enough to do so, or we can exist by not choosing at all. Our mortality is a gift from our creator that we relish for a time until we age into our twilight years becoming greatly infirmed. Than we carry our mortality around us in our elder years as if it were a bane of misfortune. Longing to either "Live Again" or hoping for a near painless passing at the hour of our demise, for a breath is all we ever had to ourselves. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


964)  Our world our precious Earth ever so fragile and yet an ancient world of four billion years time sustaining life in its biosphere. We as humans often can't comprehend the immense age of a world of four billion years plus. So we treat our precious planet as if it were a juvenile much like how we treat ourselves as a species.Something to be governed, managed, and if necessary exploited for its resources or its advantages that the world can afford us. Paying very little mind to the natural balance by means of ecosystems with which we are associated with entirely. That we can not subjugate becomes mistreated with our negligence for having no inherit value at such a time.

We often would rather break an ecosystem first before we become alarmed enough to rebuild it into a greater whole. Lost in the translation are many of the original pieces which we must substitute over time to maintain harmony with mother nature. Our demeanor with nature is schizophrenic for what we can not control becomes an affront to our senses. Until such a time natural systems become too chaotic than we by a sense of turmoil finally act for the welfare of the whole. Must we always as a people respond to only calamities of our own making.  By not being pro-active enough to safeguard this splendid ancient world of ours to a fuller glory.

Not until we suffer collectively as a species after untold lives will be lost. Will we begin to value our role as self proclaimed stewards of the environment. Where our mutual hubris and political paralysis will give way to thoughtful actions for the greater good of the many. Until that time dawns on our global civilization I thank you those of whom are the fore runners remembering the fragile beauty of our vulnerable mother Earth. For without your courage and selfless actions the idiots of this world would leads us all into perdition.    ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


965) Understanding is not to know, but to listen is to understand with humility of thought. By knowing we are confident in our own thinking. Our thinking can often lead us astray by accident or on purpose. If we are to be true to ourselves than we shall be earnest in our conduct to our fellows.  Otherwise we are a shadow and not the inherit light of our own conviction. We become an embodiment of a personal lie an untruth of our own making that given time will fracture our psyche. That if fed with more lies will become an unruly child. Until that time like a problematic child a tantrum takes hold causing all things to come crashing down around us.

Do we choose rather to be whole and safeguarded by the truth of our own soulful being? Or think we can be sly enough to trick the world of our own selfish motivations until that time we would fool ourselves into a dark corner? We can not inflate our egos without causing unwanted consequences to run amok within our own lives. Be true to yourself, no one can force you to right outcomes, but yourself. It is your own power to keep yourself sane with the right intent. Travel the path of sincere actions that do no harm to yourself or others. Lest you steer yourself down the path of misfortune and become your own cautionary tale for all to avoid. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

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

Give all to love; obey thy heart. ---Ralph Waldo Emerson.

I've grown certain that the root of all fear is that we've been forced to deny who we are. ---Frances Moore Lappe.

Success isn't how far you got, but the distance you traveled from where you started. ---Unknown.

While we cry ourselves to sleep, gratitude waits patiently to console and reassure us; there is a landscape larger than the one we can see. ---Sarah Ban Breathnach.

Everywhere you stumble, your treasure lies. ---Norman Lear. 

Small Business Commerce Legislation Concept: "Bricks & Mortar Internet Commerce Relief Act"

Hello All,

It's that time of the month where I share a novel solution as I for see in having a creative based positive impact on society as a whole. This month's idea is regarding how Internet retailers that withhold paying local sales taxes. How this trend is troubling small to mid sized businesses in America within your own locality. Those small businesses that can not compete with major brand franchised locations nationally with E-Commerce websites. Eventually succumb and close their doors for good. Where the next "Walmart" or other wonder child of a mega retailer is cut down before ever reaching their prime in commerce.

Just recently the State of Colorado sued the famous department store of all your wares of the online retailer of "Amazon". The State of Colorado was seeking retail sales tax dollars that its citizens purchased via Amazon.com. Well "Amazon" rightly so won the case against the State of Colorado because "Amazon" has no physical presence within that State.

Here's the article dated April 5th of this year courtesy of GamePolitics.com "Amazon Beats State of Colorado Collecting Sales Tax"

My concept will require those States within our Union to enact commerce driven legislation for small to mid-sized businesses within a regional locality. That will protect them from a loss of retail customers that are only flocking to Internet E-Commerce web retailers. At least only those Internet retailers that are native to the shores of the United States nationally speaking. Anything that is beyond Internationally will not be covered, its up in the air if Canada could be a party or factor of online retailers?

What I'm proposing is a tax credit but with restrictions so as not to have perpetual tax credits with no end in sight for small to mid sized local businesses. We've had Internet E-commerce for less of a generations time say about 20 years time. In those 2 decades or so all that E-Commerce has hardly ever paid any local sales taxes to a State. Yes, E-Commerce sites are voluntarily obliged to pay sales taxes to a State. However only a few good corporate actors have ever done so, the rest are skirting such a national responsibility. In my opinion unless the culture or the political will ever changes it will take an "Act of God" for E-Commerce websites to ever pay sales taxes in America.

 This tax credit for small to mid sized businesses will not apply to national or regional franchised locations. It will not apply to: Restaurants, Convenience Stores, Super Markets or Bodegas, Gasoline Stations, and Health Care Providers. The reason being these are all local commerce needs that could not be superseded by Internet Commerce retail sales. Who do you know for instance purchases a restaurant meal online? Those carry out specials from a national franchised pizza parlor do not count for this tax credit for small to mid sized businesses.

These are the retailer sectors that are covered for small to mid-sized businesses: Computer / Electronic shops, Local Automobile to Recreational Vehicle Dealerships (including Marine Vessels), Furniture Stores, Misc. Gift Shops, Clothing / Boutique Stores, Mattress Stores, Hobby Stores, Auto Parts Stores, Music Stores (Album sales to Musical Instruments), Cosmetics Stores, Jewelry Stores, Camping / Sporting Goods Stores, Florists, Book Stores, Hardware Stores, Travel Agencies, and Office Supply Stores. Those are the bulk of local retailer sectors that are covered by this proposed commerce legislation of a tax credit for small to mid-sized businesses. Only those retailers that deal in "Point of Sale" commerce with customers. Business to business establishments even if they are small to mid sized businesses are omitted from this concept.

Now to the meat of this proposed legislation to include these restrictions for local small to mid-sized retail businesses. The State with guidance from the private sector most likely by a joint committee or series of workshops with legislator staff. Will set up fair benchmarks for each year by sector of retailer commerce be it for example clothing stores to jewelry stores. As noted above in permissible local retailer sectors of commerce.  Every local small to mid-sized retailer must apply to the State every fiscal quarter. With their net sales documented following the proper application forms and supporting evidence to the State division of Commerce agency. Those local establishments that qualify for the tax credit which will be devised in partnership with the private sector and the State. Will receive this one leg of support in regards to the pressures encountered of losing local customers to national Internet E-commerce retailers.

The next leg of this three legged stool will be every of the approved local small to mid-sized retailer. Will each receive from the State a per-calendar year scheduled "3 Day Sales Tax Holiday" for their individual sector of retailer commerce. For example all local to regional small to mid-sized business furniture stores can receive a 3 day sales tax holiday in the month of April. To be devised in partnership with the State and the private sector be it a trade organization of furniture stores and such. Other sales tax 3 day holidays will be scheduled for local jewelry stores or any of the approved sectors covered in this legislation.

The third and final leg of this proposed "Bricks & Mortar Internet Commerce Relief Act" will have an added twist to it dove tailing back into the first leg of this tax incentives package. Just like big box national discount chains or supermarket stores provide their customers "Price Matching Guarantees". Any local retail customer that can show a published price that beats a locally advertised item for purchase in retail. Be it publicized in print or online showcased via a mobile device to the retailer establishment. Will be honored by the local small to mid-sized business retailer plus beat the price by 5%. Here's the twist those transactions must be documented by an approved form provided by the State. Where the retail customer signs the form stating they received such a price matching guarantee including the 5% price drop of said item(s). The retailer will take all those sales receipts and combine them into their fiscal quarter application to the State for their tax credit. As denoted above in the first leg of this incentives tax credit legislation. If the retailer qualifies for that fiscal quarter benchmark of net volume sales. Every listed price matched guaranteed offered plus the accompanying 5% price drop discount will be recouped as a bonus tax credit. So the 5% price drop discount on said price matched guaranteed item(s) in retail to the consumer will be passed onto the State.

This commerce legislation is meant to place a foundation of Fairness on top of the bedrock of our capitalism in America. Consider it a form of "Social Capitalism" providing a level playing field to local small to mid-sized retailers in our United States. Versus the Internet E-Commerce websites, be they standalone like Amazon.com or extensions of national franchised retailers (ie "The Gap" or "The Home Depot"). If ever our elected politicians rose to the occasion of forcing Internet Commerce sales tax collections as mandatory. Than this proposed piece of commerce legislation would become a moot point and be apt for repealing allowing it to sunset for good. Without such a form of fairness in commerce Americans will continue to lose the dream of a future success story. Walmart, was once a small business started by a Mr. Sam Walton. If he existed today as a small business he may have succumbed and be forced to close his doors for good before hitting his stride as a global success story.

Happy Good Friday & Easter!

Hello All,

For those of you who are Christians the start of the Spring season comes right on the heels of Easter. Recently I heard that prior to the 15th century in Christiandom that "New Years Day" was celebrated on the 1st day of Spring. I hope your religious or spiritual festivities of this years Easter and Lent period is remarkable for you.

I celebrate it by my gift of automatic writing listening to my oracle within which I consider to be my teaching and nurturing Angels. Often I channel via automatic writing the one thousand plus "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statements after these many years now. However from time to time I receive a Mystical message of profound meaning using my divine gifts.

Technically below will be spiritual wisdom statement #1244 for the eventual volume 4 of "Jewels of Truth". Under the topic of Easter, it may seem far fetched what I channeled via inspiration. At least it rings true to myself, I leave it at each readers discretion if it provides value and comfort to you this Easter 2012.

May you find it thought provoking and inspiring. Amen.

1244) During the festivities of Easter for all Christians throughout this world. As Christ is Savior for having rose again 3 days hence from this cruxification on the cross. One must recall as Christ himself was tempted by the devil Satan when he lived three times. So did Christ venture into hell after his ascension into Heaven.With the Angels of the "Holy Light" descended into the pits of Hell. To offer all damned fallen angels three chances of redemption. A legion negated the "Angels of God", lest a few whom repented and became one with the "Glory of God" once more in eternity.

For Christ he gave the devil Satan within hell three chances of redemption. And, Satan refused Christ all three times from becoming a risen angel once more. Thus the circle was made complete from temptation on this Earth from Satan to Christ. To three chances of forgiveness through the redemption from the "Love of God". From Christ to Satan the devil to rejoin the heavenly flock refused. We must remember the significance of those 3 days before the resurrection from the cross by Christ Jesus Lord and Master of all that is true and pure. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo

Movie Concept: "Star Trek: The Return of V'Ger"

Hello All,

Taking some creative license of my own and before the next blockbuster Star Trek film comes out this Summer of 2012. I wanted to take a stab at the movie plot if I were granted the ability to create a Star Trek film of my own. This is what follows which if its any good I hope "Paramount Pictures" gets a whiff of it and gives proper attribution where its deserved.

This Star Trek movie concept follows up the 1979 first move release of the Star Trek franchise which was produced by "Gene Roddenberry"  the creator of the series. This very first theatrical release was called "Star Trek: The Motion Picture", whomever coined that sub title should be flogged in my opinion.  The plot of this movie was part romantic and metaphysical to a degree wrapped into the Star Trek envelope. With the returning cast of the Original Star Trek television series from the late 1960's. The premise is this strange alien cloud entity is fast approaching Earth itself. Having obliterated three Klingon warships and a Starfleet monitoring station en route to Earth. During the film the next iteration of the Enterprise star ship is in dry dock. Captain Kirk of the original Tv series is now an Admiral and takes command from a Captain William Decker. That was promised this brand spanking new Starfleet Enterprise vessel. To say he's a bit miffed that he's superseded by the Admiral. When the Enterprise vessel confronts this alien cloud like moving nebula one of their bridge science officers named Illia is abducted. Where Spock takes over command as the chief science officer on board this new class of star ship the Enterprise. Shortly afterwards Illia returns part human and part as a probe of this mysterious alien cloud that is now called "V'Ger". The long story distilled is that "V'Ger" is actually the NASA Voyager 6 probe discovered by an unnamed alien race of living machines and souped up its own technology. Allowing it to continue its original mandate of finding out the meaning of life and to return back to its creators on Earth.

Well that's what "V'Ger" did to a tee although he trampled over the Klingon's and a Starfleet monitoring station to get back to Earth proper. Near the conclusion of the movie after Mr. Spock tries to mind meld with V'ger via an extra vehicular space walk or propulsion suit. V'Ger seeks to become one with his creator where the Illia probe was the now tragic love interest of Captain William Decker become consumed by V'Ger. Captain Decker bravely surrenders his life for the sake of Humanity and the Earth where he'll become assimilated into V'Ger itself. All the while the Illia human probe hybrid has flashback memories of her romance with Captain Decker. Literally the two Star Crossed lovers become one through an energy beam that goes into V'Ger. Rumbling occurs and Admiral Kirk and Spock high tail it away from V'Ger where it appears to being transformed. Once the Enterprise and her crew are at a safe distance away from V'Ger we see V'Ger ascend into another unknown dimension entirely.

It was always assumed "V'Ger" was on a one way trip never to return back to Earth. Since it fulfilled its original mission parameters and its moving onward of its own volition. Well my movie concept of this sequel of "Star Trek: The Motion Picture" is to retain the original properties of metaphysics and a romance. However to add a sublime layer of analysis of our current times geo-politically within this Star Trek saga. This initial movie of Star Trek was set sometime within the 22nd century of humanities far flung future with the "Federation of Planets" under Starfleet command. Perhaps a golden age for humanity and its alien neighbors galactically speaking. My version of the "Star Trek: The Return of V'Ger" is set even deeper into the future that may not be even written by existing Star Trek lore or mythology. Let's just say its the 30th century a mere 800 years later and not even a thousand years has elapsed. (if current Star Trek lore has this covered "my bad" as in a timeline)

It's the 30th century the "Federation of Planets" has grown in size with numerous alien members. However it is clear the golden age of humanity and all galactic alien races is clearly in their distant past. At times Starfleet and the "Federation of Planets" are deemed more like an evil empire. Other times it seems that this union will splinter into fragments and become something far more menacing. This is a troubled age for all concerned, the non-aligned worlds want their own self determined liberty.

Eight centuries later another nebulous alien cloud is seen entering the Sol solar system of Earth. This era of Starfleet is more a cold war where all out galactic warfare is a matter of time, and not if it were to happen at all. The politics within the "Federation of Planets" is toxic much less the warring factions of non-aligned worlds willing to die for their own freedom. The encroachment of this fast moving nebulous cloud is first thought to be a secret weapon devised by the enemies of Starfleet. Since the seat of galactic power is on Earth itself. So the defending Starfleet armada moves to meet en mass to confront this alien nebulous cloud. Once the armada determines this is not a secret weapon from their enemies. All attempts to hail this alien cloud goes unanswered. So like an heavy fortified testosterone  militarized force decides to shoot first and ask questions later. Well as soon as the armada opens fire on the nebulous alien cloud it is consumed by the ghostly cloud. Afterwards all contact is lost with this armada and all within Sol and beyond tremble in fear. Not even space debris from wrecked vessels are to be found the armada itself is now a ghost fleet.  The fast moving cloud continues its vector to Earth, where many fear the entire planet of Earth will be consumed like that of the former armada.

Someone's light bulb goes off to see if in galactic history anything like this before has occurred and lo and behold they learn of V'Ger itself. Many lament if V'Ger was just defending itself and the protective Earth armada is gone they would've wished that V'Ger would finish them off. Since their galactic enemies of the non-aligned worlds will surely now besiege Earth returning it to its own Stone Age.

As V'Ger approaches Earth orbit any defending forces marshal themselves waiting for the next shoe to drop. An unauthorized beam is detected on the surface of the Starfleet Academy in San Francisco. A security detail is dispatched expecting a guerrilla commando attack force. What they encounter baffles them completely its Captain William Decker in full 22nd century garb Starfleet uniform. Before Decker can say a word the security detail shoots him with a stun ray and hauls him off like a sack of garbage. V'Ger, in Earth's orbit begins to exit the Sol solar system via a similar vector of which it first entered. Captain William Decker is interrogated by Starfleet capitol military police. Stating the last recollection he has was speaking to Admiral James T. Kirk and Spock before sacrificing himself with Illia. Being consumed into an energy beam of V'Ger's creation. Of course that doesn't go over well with the military police expecting a foul conspiracy to be had. Due to the toxic politics of the day of a potential all out galactic war being imminent. So they begin torturing William Decker for answers that are truthful by Decker but not of any satisfaction to Starfleet.

(Those that recall in the original Star Trek Tv series and the more recent Star Trek "Enterprise" Tv series with actor "Scott Bakula". That the parallel dimension of an evil empire consisting of Star Fleet was explored. So my movie concept of this potential version of Star Trek franchise has it occurring in a deeper period in its own future.)

During this exchange of several sessions of interrogation and torture by StarFleet capitol military police. William Decker starts to have memories surface of his love for Illia. Including what transpired after V'Ger ascended into another dimension of consciousness itself. At this time Decker starts to experience paranormal phenomena which he quickly surmises that V'Ger has altered him some how. During the interrogation sessions his prosecutors throw at him will they all become what Illia became as a human probe hybrid. Including demeaning the memory of Illia as a person and his own grasp on reality Decker starts to break down. During a torture session Decker recognizing his new godlike powers striking down like roaches his persecutors. Thunderbolts, telekensis of hurling personnel and equipment out of his way, walls and walkways being torn asunder as Decker makes his escape of the detention area. Whilst all hell is breaking loose within this prison we see combat personnel beaming into the vicinity to quell this escape from Decker. Decker angered from the torture does unspeakable acts against his chief tormentors. Along the way Decker frees other imprisoned political figures, rebels, and criminals within this prison facility.

Altogether Decker and the ones he rescues steal a nearby civilian transport and thus a motley crew and kinship is formed amongst them. As they all try to flee Earth's orbit Starfleet star fighters and a frigate is in hot pursuit. This civilian transport has no defensive weapons so its like hawks chasing down a butterfly. This pursuit seems doomed at the onset, however this transport does have warp drive capability. As star fighters close in on their vessel we see Decker fire with his mind bolts of light at them. Where utter destruction is assumed of these star fighters and yet these attack fighters could have easily been beamed to some other place and time. Once the warp drive is spooled up not knowing where they're going they desperately pick a random coordinate for a hyperspace jump.

(Countless times in the original Star Trek Tv series or that of Star Trek: The Next Generation we see alien species with demi-god like powers. Be it "Q" played by actor John Delancy in The Next Generation. Or the later to be discovered juvenile alien that forces the original series Enterprise crew to do acts against their will. If not the famous melee fight between Kirk and the savage lizard alien on a inhospitable world. Where the adjudicators of this fight are surprised by Kirk's compassion offering mercy to the savage alien lizard.)

We see our escapees enter a strange solar system that appears ancient. Where around one planet debris of a long ago space battle lays testimony of the carnage experienced. As soon as this motley bunch attempt to get their bearings space wise. We see the initial Star Fleet frigate jump into this very same random planetary system. Having trailed them through hyperspace still pursuing Decker and their former prisoners. This time however Decker is caught off guard after taking a nap during the hyperspace transit. The Star Fleet frigate wastes no time and opens fire on this stolen civilian transport. Decker is startled into awakening by the vessel being hit and is making an emergency landing or trying to on this ancient looking desert planet. This next scene we see the transport crashing into the dunes where many of the escapees are either dead or dying. William Decker himself doesn't have a scratch on him miraculously so, one of the fringe benefits of being an avatar or immortal. As Decker stumbles out of the transport he's overtaken by the eerie vista of this strange dusty desert world. Looking behind him he see's former comrades dying or dead within the fumes exiting this crashed transport. Waves of guilt run over him since he feels at fault for their demise in escaping Earth.

All of a sudden Decker approaches one of the dying crew members a human female political prisoner. He gets flashbacks of Illia, and without saying a word nor recognizing what he is doing. This dying woman starts to experience her fatal wounds being healed returning her to full health. Decker realizing what he's doing stops mid way of the healing, which the woman screams at him "you better finish what you started you bum". Where Decker smiles and continues with the intent of healing her completely. Decker continues going through all the fatally wounded escapees returning them to full health. On a dare one of the rogue criminals says to Decker why don't you resurrect the dead while you're at it. The criminal laughing it off, but Decker curious as to the extent of his new god like powers takes the challenge head on. To the amazing and sheer shock of the remaining crew Decker resurrects the dead crew members one by one. A sense of holy calm washes over them all where Decker seems to glow with an aura of strange origins.

As the intrepid vagabonds make their way from dune to dune in this endless sea of a desert planet. Hoping to find some sort of shelter from the heat and the winds picking up in velocity. Decker, see's a woman dressed in strange ceremonial clothing approaching him. Decker tells this to his followers but they mock him thinking it to be a mirage of heat stroke befalling him. When the female alien is upon them she tells Decker that she is a ghost a matriarch guardian of her long since dead people. That Decker's friends can not see her, only he can because of his powers. She tells Decker that they are all standing upon a long buried citadel complex of catacomb ruins. That if he were to part the sands of time burying this complex they may enter safely from this fast approaching desert storm. When Decker tells this to the motley bunch they think he's completely lost his mind. This is even after doing the miracles or other feats just hours before them in person. He tells them to stand aside and where the alien female ghost tells Decker to part the sands. He begins to do so freaking everyone out thinking they could at any moment be buried under these dunes themselves. To everyone's amazement once more they begin to see a stone doorway entrance to these ancient catacombs.

Upon opening the stone slabs of a set of doors Decker starts to light the torches along the underground route they're walking with his mind. When after a long walk they enter a center domed cathedral of sorts within this citadel of a plaza complex underground. At sections of the walls of this long lost shrine like stations of the cross for Christians. There are depictions of William Deckers life from birth to becoming a Captain in Star Fleet to his ascension into V'Ger and after his return to Earth. All the while this female alien ghost explains each section and the meaning of his life to her own people and what wisdom they gained from it. All sections are revealed to William Decker even his future and reuniting with Illia in complete human avatar form like himself. Some of the more criminal elements start to ferret through the ruins looking for valuable relics to plunder. Those that remain by Deckers side ask if he can give them the ability to see this ghost. Which he does and to their amazement they begin to see and understand her foreign language that is long since dead telepathically speaking to them.

When this ghostly matriarch finishes her explanation to Decker and those surrounding him. She says she has fulfilled her duty and it is her time to return to paradise. Decker, starts to quiver asking her to please stay awhile longer. She stated she's been waiting for him for over ten thousand years time. It is now her time to go after fulfilling her solemn promise as a custodian to her people's wisdom and prophecy. As the criminals turn looters return with their treasures in hand. They're startled to see the female ghost which looks right through them like they're not even there standing in front of her. This is when she begins her ascension to her own version of the heavenly afterlife. Everyone stares in awe during this sacred transition for this once proud matriarch guardian returning home back to her own God.

Moments later muffled voices are heard down the long underground passageways of a Star Fleet away team with a security detail. We see after the desert storm has passed the Frigate landed on the surface with several other smaller military space craft setting up a beach head command post in pursuit of Decker. This is when more kudos to the motley roguish crew out of their sheer cunning and cajones they find their way to the desert world surface. Via this alternate exit they sneak up and steal another space craft and again make their escape. All under the nose of this expeditionary pursuit force by having hijacking this vessel and throwing out its original crew. Meanwhile we see within the catacomb xeno archeologists piecing together the remnants of this long lost civilization. Where after coming upon this underground cathedral like vicinity they're equally startled to see the murals of William Decker's entire lifetime, including his future. Weeks go by and we are filled in on the entire report of the significance of this prophecy they encountered of William Decker. That he nor V'ger are the enemy to be feared that more likely they themselves are to be worried as in the future of the "Federation of Planets" have two potential climatic outcomes. One is to usher in a new golden age for the galaxy with a thousand years of peace or to bring about the utter apocalyptic ending for this galaxy. That they themselves are the enemy within, where by William Decker if he succeeds is to offer a chance to reform the "Federation of Planets" as a galaxy wide institution from within.

This is where the first cliff hanger of this movie closes on that note of a revelation to movie going audiences.

The rest of the back story is that throughout the movie we see Captain William Decker having recalled memory flashbacks of V'ger. Including of his past romance with Illia when she was fully human in the 22nd century. Decker, also during his escape begins having visions of Illia. Where he learns that he may have to wait a century or more as an immortal for the return of V'ger. Where V'ger will deposit Illia on the surface of Earth at some uncertain future time like with what occurred with him. Once reunited independent of if the galaxy enters a thousand years of peace or a galaxy wide Apocalypse. They are together to seek out the nexus which was described in a subsequent "Star Trek: Generations" 1994 movie release. In this movie Captain Jean Luc Picard found himself within the throes of the nexus. Besides stumbling into demoted Admiral into the rank of Captain James T. Kirk into his own version of nirvana. William Decker and Illia are to seek out the nexus and find their own version of peace as lovers for an eternity.

That's my treatise of a movie plot concept for another theatrical release of the Star Trek franchise. With my treatment for "Star Trek: The Return of V'Ger". Thank you for reading thus far and may you have enjoyed it.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

I hope many of you are enjoying the first days of the season of Spring. Which officially began last Tuesday of this week which is soon coming to a close. In a first for this blog of "Atrayo's Oracle" instead of sharing a solitary brand new "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement. That I have written from a pending Volume 4 of the series.  I'll share a trio of my most recent in the series numbered at #1,238 - 1,240 on the topics of: a Miracle, Purpose, and True Love. For those unaware of my spiritual wisdom writings yes I've written one thousand two hundred and forty statements so far and counting. Of which I have self-published in two volumes via iUniverse.com as my publisher thus far "Jewels of Truth: A Soul Odyssey Within" and "Jewels of Truth: The Wayfarer of the Soul" to a number of 730 in total in paperback, e-book, Kindle, and Nook formats. (Links to my books are located to the right hand side column of this blog site under the Links section)

So as I often enjoy saying without a further adieu may you find this trio of spiritual wisdom statements inspiring and thought provoking.

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

1238) All miracles are of the one creator we call God(dess). There is only one miracle to have ever existed and as such we call this miracle God, the God of gods. No other truth can be as sweet as this to our souls, whether we be in Heaven or on this Earth right now. All miracles, blessings, good omens, good luck, and so forth are echoes of this one glorious first miracle we know as God. These divinely inspired echoes are a constant force for good that never began and shall never end, for any creation that is in totality. Knowing this sacred truth will set all free whom use it as a touch stone of grace itself. Be mindful of your intent held in a spiritual trust, for their is the power of a benevolent God at work here right now. Any intent less than pure, will be purified and made whole for all to witness. As heaven is certainly a possible reality on Earth for those with the conviction to find it. The eye of the needle is at hand for your salvation and the providence of the many. Amen.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


1239)  Those of us who need a purpose so as to live a life worth living. Find first your eternal love in spirit. There once discovered your true love will set you free from the bondage of this Earth we impose on each other. With your love in hand walk gently towards your purpose which you shall co-create with God. Once you create your purpose, your purpose would have found you whole, and well rounded to move forward by numerous acts of grace. Events will transpire to reveal a conspired chain of synchronicities that shall unfold your inner splendor for all to recognize as heaven sent. Becoming not king, but ambassador to all that is true and noble. A knight like many that have come before and will follow in your own foot steps. Be well, for far more ageless souls need no purpose to live a worthy righteous life. All they need is to follow the divine code we all call the "Will of God" its chivalry is timeless. Amen.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


1240)  A true love that is divine in nature by any soul that recognizes the truth as holy. Knows that a sublime love is not just found in another lover of God. But, also within the depth of their very own being transcending the illusion of being separate of our oneness in the "Holy Spirit". This is what many term as the inner temple or sanctuary where you and the creator are one in essence and as the substance of yourself right now. Know that this union no one can tear away from you. For any that try such an insane attempt do so at their own peril of being cast into the pits of a living hell.

Your truest love is of a sound mind, heart, and spirit as God is your custodian for an eternity. We are multidimensional souls living once more on this Earth. So as to be witness to this very age revealing itself before our mortal eyes. Be still lay your worries aside at the feet of the Lord God and walk in peace to each of your promised lands of the Heavens within your being. Amen.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

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

Love makes labour light. Love alone gives value to all things. ---St. Teresa of Avila.

I made your name known to them, and I will make it known, so that the love with which you have loved me may be in them, and I in them. ---John 17:26

For I desire steadfast love and not sacrifice, the knowledge of God rather than burnt offerings. ---Hosea 6:6

A sacred illness is one that educates us and alters us from the inside out, provides experiences and therefore knowledge that we could not possibly achieve in any other way. ---Deena Metzger.

And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight. ---Philippians 1:9

Prayer Concept: "Five Easy Steps To Divine Prayer"

Hello All,


We are all divine spiritual creations in the Image and likeness of our creator. By whatever spiritual or religious significance we ascribe to in our personal devotion. This divine prayer is not the ultimate method to prayer, nor should it replace what is already working on your personal behalf. It is just one distilled simple conduit as a spiritual tool to unfolding the Holy potential in each of us. At our own pace, intent by thoughtful intent as it should be.

1) First, hold your intent in thought and within the theater of your Imagination. Whether your intent is a need, want, or simply to praise: God(dess), Allah, Higher Power, Christ, Moses, Mohammad, Buddha, Krishna, Ganesh, the Great Mystery, the Great White Buffalo, the Great Turtle, and so forth .....  It is all One, it is a holy intent with a sincerity to express the purity of your own divinity as an aspect of the god self within your soul or spiritual being.

The focused Intent must be held in the Altar of your inner Temple where you as a mortal and paradoxically a soul meet in a sacred silence. Explore your intent with a visual detail in your mind's eye. How does it make you feel? Anything not of God must be released and try again to hold a pure intent in a just and benevolent manner. A rule of thumb is whatever is in accord of the grand majestic "Will of God" is ok to supplicate for in your personal life right now. That it does no harm to you or your fellow family, friends, strangers, and especially enemies.

2) Second, "Be Still". By staying calm and with a inner poise that maintains your true center within your soul. Any anxiety encountered as resistance within your being. Must be lovely acknowledged and simply be surrendered. No fuss, no muss. Just keep it simple. Even if it is an emotion that causes suffering. Just be silent and still within your being.

3) Third, "Surrender" silently from within. Just let yourself go in the "Flow of Life". One can visualize in the "Mind's Eye" a voyage being taken down a powerful stream in one direction only. Any resistance is only temporary. If you resist as an instinct, teach yourself through a kind patience to "Let Go, and Let God". The practice of an inner surrender increases the more effort one puts into it overall. For many their human ego will brow beat them to thinking this step is foolishness. The greater the inner resistance to surrender peacefully from your ego. The more lubricious it seems to stand aside and surrender your mortal willful ego through an inner spiritual discipline.

4) Fourth, is to "Love Unconditionally". A true spiritual love without limits, but in only one which is to love all things in a balanced moderation. Such a moderation acknowledges our mortality that can only achieve excellence and not perfection. As people we are error prone, as souls in the Image and likeness of God we are perfect in Spirit. This is a silent paradox between the auric interface of our soul and human body.

A Love for all Life yet in moderation permits us to keep our peace of mind in this turbulent world.  To love unconditionally does not mean you are to allow yourselves to be abused at your own hands or that of another person. It is a grace full of wisdom that is the divine at work by the "Holy Spirit". Allow such a Godly Spirit to renew you from within. Feed you with strength, patience, and most of all joy to being alive right now.

5) Fifth, Be Grateful. Yes, be grateful for whatever you ask for in a spirit of humility. There is a dynamic living reality in Heaven as a spiritual law upheld by truth and compassion. As long as your prayer request is sincere without malice for anyone it becomes instantly anointed by the "Holy Spirit".

When your ego bothers you with impatience with a delay of your prayer request. Create a simple, but deeply meaningful personal affirmation as a tool to recall your peace of mind. Use such a affirmation of the divine truth as your shield from your ego that is weak. Prayers that supplicate a need or want must come. However in the meanwhile purify yourselves with an unconditional Love and Gratitude. Keeping a flexible mind and heart in the duration. Stay alert, your prayer request may come to you in an unassuming subtle and simple manner. Hardly ever with any notoriety. A prayer fulfilled always comes as good news or what appears as a strange surprising opportunity in disguise to act upon in that one moment. If you fail to act at first do not become alarmed. If at first you miss a chance for your prayer to be fulfilled another opportunity will come much like a message awaiting to be received.

This methodology to prayer will no doubt be welcomed to be uniquely customized to fit each and every spiritual seekers own needs. As s/he will see it best to worship with the divine in a space that is tranquil and soothing. Within the reality of our oneness through God. Use it in good health, for as "Ralph Waldo Emerson" once stated: "The first wealth is health". Amen.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of The Month

Hello All,

This month of February almost escaped me without sharing the "Jewels of Truth" segment with you my readers. This month's entry will be on the topics of: Surrender, Living, and Disappointment. All of which were originally written back in early to mid June 2009.

I hope many of you enjoyed your Saint Valentine's holiday and now are looking forward to Saint Patrick's this coming March.  

Be Well and in Good spirits.

960) Within the Christian Serenity Prayer it states: "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change..."

In recognition by taking into account such a form of "Acceptance" into full stride. One must remember that you are implicitly welcome to surrender all your burdens onto the shoulders of God's mighty spiritual physique. In full confidence knowing the "Things" you can not change are under the full purvey of God's dominion. It is only through the human condition we grab the bull by the horns and try to our displeasure to bend the will of the bull by our sheer ego's. This is often an act in futility, when fully disregarding the limits of our strengths and weaknesses.

Be still and know that there is a higher power at work amidst what appears to our mortal eyes as utter and reckless chaos. Behind the veil of our shared divine reality are Angels of all kinds afoot and diligently invested into our personal lives. Not as puppeteers, but as kindred souls compassionately seeking out our highest good. So when we zig and the Angels zag things become problematic for ourselves to say the least. To keep our interests aligned with our master plan in Life we must humbly follow the "Will of God". Which for each of us is just as unique to us as our fingerprints is to our hands. Release your troubles both real and perceived to the Lord God mentally and emotionally. Doing so grants him exclusive permission to realign your loves and joys into your master plan by a caring divine grace. Where our spirits begin to soothe and we vent the built up pressures in our lives internally so we may become fully resilient in him our "Father who art in Heaven". 

Thus the living waters of providence will flow steadily and surely filling us up with grace. To the degree you surrender is to the degree you will affect change in your own lives. So if it is lukewarm, you will reap lukewarm results. If it is unconditional, than the will of the Heavenly host will walk with you in lock step. When you stumble, the Angels will dust you off and help you back onto the horse of life. Surrender is not a compromise, it is total. Half measures yield half of the results when working in conjunction with the divine. Grant yourself the peace that surpasses your mortal understanding and be supplanted with the holy. Amen.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


961)  We age because we are mortal human beings experiencing a life that so many before us have already lived. We offer up our lives as a sacrifice to those we love by our heartfelt motivations. Often those motivations are of a noble purpose at other times they are as selfish as our ego's can fathom. We live so as to have moments that we can call our own. Some live for pleasure, others live for sheer achievement, all the rest live without a plan and are aimless in this life. Our efforts whether intentioned as good or ill are our lives in totality. This is our contribution to ourselves, our loved ones, and most of all to God(dess). Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


962) When handling disappointment one must distinguish whether if the fault is your own or that of another person's own action that has caused the initial grief. Do not claim as your own the fault of another person's conduct. To do so cheats you of your own self respect. Take responsibility only for yourself and not the actions of another without full consideration of what is at stake. Assuming the mantle as your brothers keeper when your brother is of ill repute only invites misery. Only a steadfast engagement into another person's welfare will ensure balance in your personal dealings.

Disappointment when it is without merit and proven to be false by the selfish whim's of another person. Should not feed the gullible into pleasing such a tyrant, lest the naive at heart will lose their peace of mind totally. Be on guard that pleasing others is only secondary to making sure your needs are always met in their fullest measure. Otherwise error and travesty will seem to conspire against you at every turn. Walk away from the demanding fool, let them spoil in their own unruly mindset. Set yourself free from the miser that seeks perfection in creating for you a living hell.

If disappointment is of the actions of someone with a good heart which occurs than forgiveness is key. Followed by correction by example not to punish, but to teach with respect for all parties involved. Certainly the conscientious person that has erred is fully aware of their own misstep and is eager to make amends. Give them the chance when their self-worth has clearly indicated your earned trust in them. Those others who are of the misfortune of addiction seeking recovery must have setbacks in order to value a sober life. Just make sure a setback is not a face dive into total and an utter destructive relapse. All others that don't care the pain they have caused through disappointment and heartache are to be fully released to their own devices. Only if they are ready to return to the fold of your loving kindness will they become reconciled with you. Without such a requirement let them go, otherwise you welcome suffering for both yourself and them continuously.   ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

To set the mind on the Spirit is life and Peace. ---Romans 8:6.

Whatever your life's pursuit: art, poetry, sculpture, music, whatever your occupation may be. You can be as spiritual as clergy, always living a life of praise. ---Pir-O-Murshid Hazrat Inayat Khan. "Bowl of Saki".

The greatest things ever done on Earth have been done little by little. ---William Jennings Bryan.

May I see my own limits with compassion, just as I view the limits of others. ---Roshi Joan Halifax.  Spoken at the "Legacy Wisdom Conference" April 17th 2011.

The universe is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper. ---Eden Phillpotts.

Law Enforcement Legislation Concept: "Penalities For Bad Cops & Lawyers Doing Flawed Investigations"

Hello All,

(First off I am not anti-police, I actually respect and admire to a point honorable police institutions. I may be biased due to having myself and mother saved from a random arsonist attack a couple years ago in our home.)

Good cops would not or should not be concerned with my proposed law enforcement concept for a flawed criminal investigation. To narrow this down further by flawed criminal investigations are cases of false imprisonment. Where be it by incompetence or downright corruption of police detectives that care nothing more than to close a criminal case. Sending an innocent man or woman for years to decades at a time to prison. If not in the very rare case of an innocent prisoner dying in prison from execution by the State to an attack from other inmates.

Usually its for advocacy organizations like the nationally known "Innocence Project" to vindicate innocent men and woman from the penal code system. Be it by means of DNA testing, false confessions that are coerced, erroneous eyewitness identification, bad lawyering, government misconduct, informants or snitches giving misleading statements, etc...

The Innocence Project

Cases like these are made worse that globally we are known as the world's jailor. With a prisoner population exceeding 2 million inmates, more than any other nation including China. Although China has the infamy of executing prisoners on a fast track basis with very little due process. Unlike here in the States where a death row inmate can spend decades waiting to be executed.

Right now in my own State of Florida where our State legislature is in its yearly session. They are deciding on a 1.3 million dollar award for a man that was falsely imprisoned for 27 years time. Every year the State of Florida gets these cases not unlike other States in our Union. Besides leaving the American tax payer in the lurch for a case of false imprisonment. Why not share the shame and pain of an ineffective justice system with the police detectives that caused such misery in the first place. Of course such a system can be extended to cases of poor legal representation by over loaded incompetent criminal defense lawyers provided by the State. Or an over zealot State prosecutors office that wants justice at all costs, even if it means ruining an innocent persons life.

What I'm proposing is a 3 Strike Policy similar to what felons receive in many U.S. States. Unlike here it would be aimed at incompetent or corrupt police, criminal defense lawyers, and State prosecutors office. Under a 1st Strike offense that later proves sometimes years or decades after the fact of a wrongful imprisonment occurred. Be it a Police departments Internal Affairs or a similar State task force pours over the documentation of a flawed investigation. To see who was to blame, be it one or more aspects of the law enforcement or the criminal justice system. Would be a penalty of some sort to the offending party, be it garnished wages or a 5% to 10% deduction of someone's pension. If still serving as a police officer or lawyer an official admonishment can be stacked onto their record of misconduct of the public trust. Either the police officer such as a detective, lawyer as a criminal defense lawyer, State prosecutor can be sent to retraining or re-certification courses.

A 2nd Strike ratchets up the offenses, which would mean in the career of a police officer or lawyer they have sent 2 innocent persons to false imprisonment. Here a career ending resignation or reassignment duty is forced upon the offending party. Wages would continue to be garnished, if not a 15% to 25% deduction from their State government pension. The reasoning of the wage garnishment or pension deduction is to help the State recoup a small percentage of the false imprisonment award. To the innocent person that goes through the court system to collect from the State.

On a 3rd Strike Offense of sending 3 or more innocent civilians to false imprisonment in their sorry career as a police officer or lawyer (defense lawyer or State prosecutor). They would be convicted as a Felon of abusing the sacred trust of the community at large. They would be either docked 50% of their State pension or completely forfeit it entirely. Such an incompetent or corrupt police officer or lawyer can be blacklisted nationally from ever serving in such a capacity as well. After they have served their time in prison for falsely convicting others.

Exceptions to a deduction to a police officers pension is they died in the line of duty. So their heirs collecting as an inheritance on their pension would not be penalized. However it would be known that the former officer committed such a past offense of incompetence or corruption to their reputation. Police officers or lawyers of the State receiving a pension be they still in their career or in retirement are still subject to any penalties. Police or lawyers that have since died long ago after their retirement where remaining heirs are collecting on their pension as an inheritance. Can be docked or deducted from their pension on a case by case basis on the severity of a 3 Strike Policy.

The injustice of subjugating an innocent person to false imprisonment should be a crime against the State as well. Be it incompetence or corrupt malfeasance needs to be penalized be it by offending Police Officers, Criminal Defense Lawyers, or a States Prosecutors Office. The buck has to stop somewhere and rightly so it has to stop those that initially caused a tremendous amount of pain and suffering on the innocent in our society.
