Jewel of Truth Quotation & Favorite Quotes Of The Day

Hello All,

Sorry for the lack of updates but my mood has been melancholy as of late. When I reach such an emotional low I always seek out inspiration to enliven me once more, at least for the moment. Recently this moment has come once more. As it will surely be so until the next time i need to rebound in mood. (aka slingshot)

Today I'll be sharing just one of my most recent "Oracle Statements", and not so much of a quotation as is the norm in my blog here at present.

Enjoy.

792) We are the mirrors reflection of Life in its totality. This mirror has many names, but it is purely just one ideal. Where all things are possible to those who can envision their reflection. This reflection is benign and non-judging, if one seeks torment than Hades is borne. If one seeks Elysium than paradise is borne just as well. One can however choose both and experience both pleasure & pain simultaneously in this wonder we call mortal life. But, mortal life is a misnomer due to a lack of foresight into the reality of this mirror we call (God(dess)), we assume to understand. Much of our mortal assumptions are folly or vain, but the minority of our mortal beliefs of our maker are true.
Seek first your personal creator and all else will be restored to you by unconventional means. Be well and prosperous knowing this eternal truth that shines ever so brightly on us all in this mirror's reflection we call life. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

Those who dream by day are cognizant of many things that escape those who dream only by night. ---Edgar Allan Poe.

The greatest good you can do for another is not just share your riches, but reveal to them their own. ---Benjamin Disraeli.

Turn your face to the sun, and the shadows fall behind you. ---Maori Proverb.

Distress Singaling Concept: GPS Text Relay System (TARS)

Hello All,

Recently in the news certain western pacific States here in the US. Have been considering to make it mandatory that mountain climbers wear distress SOS beacons. Which often snow skiers or mountain climbers can often rent from certain ski resorts or outfitter shops.

My concept combines a text messaging system with a GPS enabled SOS beacon transponder. So in case of a hazard emergency for a skier or a mountaineer climber ensues. A hand cord pin can be pulled from the beacon transponder enabling a GPS alert SOS signal. However my conceptual device would add a "qwerty" keyboard to the transponder. Where simple text messages can be relayed Ala a SMS device. Or if typing is impossible due to the wearing of winter gloves. This transponder device can come with a touchscreen LCD screen in a flip top cover. Where a symbolic language of icons will denote certain modes of distress. Be it a: physical injury, which creates a sub-menu of icons of a: broken bone, frostbite, respiratory, etc...

So when the Air Force or Air Natural Guard is dispatched to a rescue site in poor weather or what not. This GPS SOS beacon transponder with an enabled "Text Relay System" (TARS) can direct EMT's or field medics to what injury conditions to expect. Much like how an ambulance driver relays to the hospital room ER whats the condition of the emergency patient.

Hi All,

Here's another installment of "Jewels of Truth" for your own enlightenment.

785) Besides the saying of their being strength within numbers. There is also near perfection when so many differing souls join as one in their combined creative pursuits. Unlike homogeneous and unoriginal uniformity in the world of the mundane, when mortals combine themselves to a structured group.
There is a near perfection when many join as one being, as if God comes into focus amongst the many by one common goal. Versus when everyone is fragmented and alone in their pursuits without a unify objective. This is when people are the most flawed in their lot in life. By acting as many without a true voice as one total collective being. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


786) Dreams are like a personal mirror using our own internal language on the theater of Imagination. It is all a personal reflection of your most inner self acting out what it needs to express and share. Dreams are your best inner guide to what troubles you or what fascinates you. Dreams are also the portals to inspiration and prediction in ones life. Listen well to your dreams via your minds eye. Since your highest self is telling you something. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

787) Do not make your spiritual faith a drudgery (hardship). Keep it light and simple for that is where grace in all its wonder lays within us. This is the task of the devout in learning how to cope with life in all its intricacies. Hallelujah! ---Ivan / Atrayo.

Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy. ---Norman Vincent Peale.

Heaven and earth are threads from one loom. ---Shaker Proverb.

We must not wish for the disappearance of our troubles but for the grace to transform them. ---Simone Weil.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day

Hello All,

As I'm rather inspired at this moment. Allow me to share my latest authored spiritual quotation which i hope it rings whole for you as it has for me by automatic psychic writing.

788) Dearly beloved each soul no matter the order of the entity of life. Hasn't left its abode and seat next to God the maker. Meaning each spirit is simultaneously in Heaven and in multiple other dimensions in the same one instant. So those experiencing the Earthly mortal guise also has the added benefit of already being saved by grace. There is no need to fret with personal anguish or other persecutor judgements, which are from the vain at heart. God's judgement is final and unquestioned in his all knowing for all eternities. You are home and have never left paradise, but only in your mortal mind & heart if you so desire to entertain such foolish notions otherwise. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

(now back to the former sequence of quotes)

783) Our souls are complete and perfect in the image of God. Paradoxically our mortal guises are flawed by imperfections. Where we should only strive for excellence in all of our ongoings. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


784) One transcends this world not by ambitions of the ego. But by awakening and activating ones personal soul. By actions that are graceful and lead to a life full of hope, faith, and love truly for the common good of all. Such pursuits are aided by the instruments of wisdom and virtues of character. That is the path of enlightened gratitude for ones lot in this life. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

And everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. ---Acts 2:21. (New International Version)

Let us be of good cheer remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come. ---James Russell Lowell.

Hard is not hopeless. --- US General David Petraeus. US Commander in Iraq.

Garment Industry Concept: Future Clothing Stores & Print On Demand Clothing

Hello All,

A few months ago I made a blog entry regarding the future vision I saw of an automated fast food restaurant with McDonald's as an example. Now I would like to present a probable future of a clothing store, lets say it's the "Gap" retail chain.

Picture customer body image scanners that are situated inside a clothing store. Looking something like a next generation body weight scale. But with laser scanners tracing an outline of your personal body proportions.

In this next generation clothing store there is very little if any generic clothing on the racks. All clothing of the future is fine tailored by these body scanners for your measurements. Due to the fact of "Print on Demand" clothing weavers that take your scanned body measurements and within a few minutes before your eyes makes your garment for you.

This "Print on Demand" clothing weaver isn't a typical present day horizontal machine. But one that is a vertical weaver and stitching of clothing swatches preloaded into the printer. Before it produces any clothing a instantly foam molded mannequin is created on the printer that represents your body shape. Be it a torso, legs, or a full body mannequin that can be later shredded by the machine to be recycled and used again on another future mannequin.

Once the clothing weaver has its model mannequin with your body shape and contours ready. It begins its precision guided rotations on the mannequin with robotic arms. That weave new garment pieces, if its a one piece garment. Or stitch's preloaded swatches of clothing together before your very eyes. In a circular clear shattered proof glass exterior within this vertical clothing weaver. The robotic arms can also do customer embroidery and also custom air jet dye painting of a piece of garment.

So a customer of the future in such a clothing store can be scanned by the body image scanners. Then before their very eyes witness a mannequin be created from recycled foam as their proxy. With the clothing weaved and created behind the circular glass enclosure as a sideline entertainment for a fascinated customer.

The customer before being scanned for their measurements chooses which apparel they want via a touch screen kiosk. Where they can browse the entire catalog of garments available. Or mix and match to create custom clothing on the spot with a marketing campaign of: "Be Your Own Fashion Designer".

This is what the future of apparel retailers can offer us all with immense selection coupled by cutting edge technology.

Game Design Concept: Npc Mob To Player Level Scaling

Hello All,

For those of you reading this blog entry I am an avid online gamer. Whom enjoys the past time of the MMO (massively multiplayer online) game genre. With all that stated I'll share and combine my other hobby of novel and visionary design aspects for creative solutions.

Currently in a MMORPG (role playing game) there are various stages of npc (non player character) entities that are driven by the game's AI (artificial intelligence). Where typically the npc mob (monster enemy creatures) are in various sets of level of difficulties in contrast to a themed arena of activity. When a player reaches this arena that is themed as a landmark pavilion of sorts. Often times the players level of achievement is often too low or too high in order to interact with said npc mob. This is why in the beginning stages of a player character development. The game designers create a series of themed landmark encounters that consist of a stylized chain of progression.

My idea is to scale the level of npc mob difficulty in conjunction to a player achievement level. So if a player starting themed area has a level one rat enemy npc mob encounter. It is often placed there for a similar player level range of 1-4 to be interacted with in a combat mode. Now taking my idea into consideration where for example a player of a superior level encounters this formerly level one rat. The npc mob scales itself to the range of player achievement level so as to increase re playability for a player in this formerly benign themed landmark.

So lets say a level 50 player wouldn't encounter a level 1 rat npc mob. But a rat npc mob of around a range of 47-50 difficulty level in contrast dynamically to the player level.

This will make former themed landmark game play arena's renewed in activity. For a player subscriber to a MMO game title. Hopefully extending the shelf life of the game's usage albeit adding increased difficulty. By removing tedious and boring area's that were formerly conquered already in game play.

Movies Presentation Concept: Movies Theaters Streamed Online

Hello All,

To date box office movie sales in the US are slumping with DVD sales and cable television pay per view and video on demand taking it's revenue share. Apple itself has debuted a Mac / PC Media hardware platform that allows video content to be streamed to a home Tv set calling it "Apple Tv". There is also the rental DVD market to be included like the Blockbuster and Netflix arch rivals duking it out to the top of the pack leader.

My concept is for bricks and mortar movie theater franchises to expand to the online arena. Not by downloaded movie's to a home computer or PC media center. But to be streamed via a proprietary media player that mimics a movie theater presentation in it's border frames and control console. Already Netflix has decided to host downloaded movies to it's customers, much like other companies like Cinema Now.

So if a movie theater chain like: Lowes, AMC, General Cinema, amongst others decides to showcase on their websites a streamed movie theater experience. That will undoubtedly increase their revenue streams outside from what they can only showcase in their bricks & mortar franchise locations. Much like the Blockbuster company trying to compete with Netflix in a recent advertising campaign. Showing the incentive of mailing DVD rentals to their customers whom they can drop off and rent more movies from their franchise locations.

Such is the case with movie theater companies opening a new front to online audiences in hosting streamed movie showcases. There of course can be cross-promotions to receiving discounts or other marketing pushes to buy the DVD version at a later point. If not merchandising of movie poster and other apparel and memorabilia sales with an e-commerce site by the movie chain's website.

This seems like a very novel expansion and logical next step for movie theater goers from the comfort of their home PC.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day

Hello All,

I wanted to post a couple of days ago, but it seemed that numerous Google blogs were down due to a coding error. At this time with today's entry I'll only be submitting two new quotations I've authored. Since I need to ration them out for the ones that are the most recent to date.

Enjoy them.

781) Luck is grace manifested by one's very own divinity. It is an atonement to one's personal triumph for that intent. Luck is truly the expression of the sublime that binds us all together by blessings and miracles. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


782) Judgements against others are stones cast at its victims. Victims whom you may not always be privy to their full melo-drama. Do we desire to stone a living person as a group to death? I hope not, but we do this time and again by the avenues of the Spirit world. Our thoughts or judgements are like arrows of spirit based harm, shot at others soul through God's eternity. Such consequences we may not fully understand as solely physical entities. With such a centric view point of life and it's dealings. Lessen your harsh judgements and you lessen the poison you allow into your hearts each day in this mortal world of ours. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


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

If I'm content with a little, enough is as good as a feast. ---Isaace Bicker Staffe c.1735-1812.

Each of us is great insofar as we perceive and act on the Infinite possibilities which lie undiscovered and unrecognized about us. ---James Harvey Robinson.

In order for the light to shine so brightly, the dark must be present. ---Francis Bacon.

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day

Hello All,

Here is my latest installment of my "Jewels of Truth" segment for your enlightened pleasure. May you enjoy it as much as I have in authoring these wisdom based quotations.

776) Beloved remember among all the hostile environments of this Earth. This one truth holds forever that a heart filled with unconditional love will invoke the "Kingdom of God" upon your shoulders. No matter what specific faith you adhere to, no exclusion can with hold the mercy & compassion of God's graces upon this truly blessed Earth.
For this Earth will one day pass on as so many of her creatures have gone before her. Know that your faith guided by trust and compassion will release one from many the maladies that a mortal life can cast upon you. Be full of strength and God's courage to live wisely and full of joy. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


777) Laws are just as dysfunctional as the institutions that write them into being. Laws as a form of social contract are meaningless without an ardent group of people to uphold and enforce them. A law is useless when it is disregarded by the people and especially by the governing bodies that created them. Legal & Illegal reforms are meaningless without a body of supporters to make it so. Laws are a function of the psyche of a society to govern itself, by its own standards of any given culture that dominates it at the time. People are at the heart of mitigating just and unjust laws being ordained or neglected due to complacency, corruption, or a higher truth that is at work. In the end as it is in the beginning, the people are the law and the only authority. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


780) Tell me of a religious institution that is not dysfunctional, and I shall call it truly immaculate as an governing body. All institutions created by mortal hands are prone to being uneven and dysfunctional in nature. Acceptance of this sometimes selfish and competitive interests versus a cooperative spirit causes much internal conflict. Knowing this attitude at all levels of the governing body will exercise great fortitude in its relations with all served. It should let go of petty motives and seek to improve all relations in an inclusive sharing spirit of open mindedness and action. So as to complete a cycle of service from the hierarchy to the end user with kindness and compassion as it's true dogma. ---Ivan / Atrayo.

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

In every adversity there is a seed of equal or greater benefit, but you must be receptive and willing to look for and find it. ---Sue Mackey & Laura Tonkin. "Living Well, Working Smart: Soft Skills for Success."

I've had a lot of worries in my life, most of which never happened. ---Mark Twain.

Even in a world that's being ship wrecked, remain brave and strong. ---Hildegard von Bingen.

Municipal Development Concept: Sister Cities In Arms

Hello All,

What if on the county US level across the States we paid more than lip service to our honoree sister cities. For example, here in my Florida county of Sarasota we have six designated sister cities. They are: Dunferline, Scotland; Hamilton, Ontario; Perpignan, France; Tel Mond, Israel; Vladimir, Russia; and finally Siming District, Xiamen China.

Sister cities usually align themselves due to the cultural demographics of their adopted city. In this case many citizens from other countries have chosen as their adopted home my city and county of Sarasota.

Now instead of only an official designation in name only for a sister city. Why not put some muscle into it where it belongs, where the county or province local governments draw up a developmental wish list. Such a wish list of municipal development be it in infrastructure or other citizen initiatives would need to be approved or ratified. Once done so from each of the other sister cities in kind via a larger collective barter system. One of the other sister cities picks an item of need from another city and pours needed aid into the initiative. Be it a: trade development package, disaster relief, needed skilled personnel, student exchange programs, resources, charitable aid, block grants or loans.

Such a slew of available menu options to aid other sister cities will help foster civic pride within one's own city and those whom are being aided. Not just from the public government sector, but from the private commercial and private charities that become inter-dependent in such a web of relationships.

This is truly a "Win / Win" scenario when sister cities step out of their own bubble mind-set and look beyond their own geographic boundaries.

Food Concept: Sweet Pasta

Hi All,

This dessert type of food treat came to me whilst I was eating lunch with pasta filled with garlic paste. My "A Ha!" moment came shortly afterwards, since I enjoy many types of eclectic dessert treats.

Picture Ravioli filled with chocolate instead of the typical meat or cheese fillings. The sweet fillings can be: milk, dark, white chocolates, caramel, taffy, cotton candy, and fruit jams. The pasta itself can be plain or it can be sweetened to include various different flavors onto itself. Such as a chocolate flavored pasta, or any of these varieties such as: peanut butter, vanilla, cookie dough, mocha, strawberry, etc... Besides it doesn't just have to be ravioli type of pasta it can be any other type of pasta that allows fillings to be present.

This is even a better dessert treat if accompanied with a sauce topping like hot fudge, or caramel. Mmm, can't you just picture it now. :o)

Jewels of Truth Quotations & Favorite Quotes Of The Day

Hello All,

Today I'll return to the former line-up of quotes that left off at number #773 from mid-November.

Enjoy my own authored wisdom based spiritual quotes.

773) Revenge is an empty road leading no where. It is ripe with hatred and offers only destruction to its intended victim(s). It is truly one of the many inroads to perdition. Surrender such hatred with forgiveness for the sake of your own inherent sanity and well being. That is the way to reconciliation for ones own sake by mercy. Otherwise hell on Earth will persist to your own undoing. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


774) "Precept of Time & Eternity"

In a moment one can understand eternity. As a concept of no time at all. Eternity is but an instant, one moment in time but paradoxically it consists of no time at all. This instant for eternity to a mortal is incomprehensible due to a linear view point. From the point of view of eternity it is a fully non-linear moment. Linear time scale is set at the slowest time dilation for mortal creation. For eternity which consists for an instant, it is set at full velocity ahead. Or full momentum without any restrictive dilations of time. To understand a mundane moment is to understand all of creation in but an instant. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


775) When you bless one soul, you will bless them all. Since we are all one meta-entity (spirit) in this realm and in many other forms of existence. We are one akin to a web of conduits to each other. One can not be effected well without affecting all those in their realm of influence. A blessing, a miracle, and grace are all methods to reveal ones holy identity in this life. Amen. ---Ivan / Atrayo.


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

Our walls of division do not rise all the way to heaven. ---Metropolitan Philaret of Moscow.

Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. ---Clarissa Pinkola Estes.

What you resist, persists. ---Carl Jung.

Beauty seen makes the one who sees it more beautiful. ---David Steindl-Rast. "A Listening Heart".

Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want. ---Geoffrey F. Abert.
