Jewels of Truth Statement: "All Noble Strength Comes From Within"

Hello All,

Since I'm finding my pace to posting at least three times a week at my various outlets. Where I share my written works of spiritual wisdom for our combined spiritual upliftment. Today I penned #1590 in the series on the topic of Strength. That a person's true source of strength at least meta-physically comes from God as our ethereal manna from Heaven.

I hope as the world of which our spirits in unity find difficulty with each other. That we remember the source of all things blessed can only be achieved by our unified determination for good works. Lest that ideal we may achieve success in the world, but it shall be fleeting and transitory every single time. Only with the Divine for those of an active faith in God can find lasting solutions in our shared troubled world.

Enjoy.

Strength:

1590)  All strength comes from within, no matter if it comes from the body or the heart. For to focus solely on your talented strengths gives little room for anything else that is false to enter. Like staring at a mighty sun all else is blotted out from your vision. By developing your positive nature first you are given strength, power, and opportunity to grow. Be well in such a place so you may enjoy the course your life may take. Do not fall victim to petty egotistical thinking of being superior to your peers. For your peers may very well be skilled in a talent that your inferior at in practice. No one man or woman is perfect like an Angel. People may become near perfect in forms that foster excellence, but that is all. In focusing upon your strengths or talents first you also inadvertently improve your weaknesses to a relative degree as well. This becomes a "Win / Win" scenario with your own self overall.

Be still by practicing your abilities in moderation the reward means your sanity stays at its own pace. There is no need to force outcomes or rush blindly into places where you are ill prepared to encounter. Like any well versed athlete your breath as a pump must be used as an ally. Not haphazardly in a mindless fashion all will be revealed when you live by your truest inner tempo. The rest as the finer details will resolve themselves on a case by case basis.

Be true to your heart first, than allow your logical and analytical mind to sift for gold, like an ardent gold prospector. For to lead with your intellectual mind becomes a travesty by divorcing you from your union with God and the Divine. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. 

Jewels of Truth Statement: "On Living"

Living:

The effigies of our lives are living sculptures for which there is little to compare amongst all. We are living embodiments of other forms condensed into the medium we call humanity. We believe that we have no equals to ourselves and this is where we always err. Life itself dwarfs us into humility, whether we agree with it or not. We are the artists stroke ascending and descending by the curvatures of our lives. We act as critics, but we are truly artists in disguise at least unwittingly from our own intentions. We are Alive!                              ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Hello All,

It's that time of the month which I enjoy sharing with all of you my readers across the globe. I'm humbled to you my loyal readers for enjoying my blog site "Atrayo's Oracle". Google provides me a statistical analysis tool available through "Blogger" itself. It's common to all account holders and I'm often delighted to see the national origin of my readers. Only 2nd to the United States, is Russia, with Europe (including Eastern Europe), and Asia be it South East Asia as well. Not to forget the Aussies and a few South Africans thrown in for good measure. :o) I hope in the years to come I'm able to gain readership from Latin America and other parts of Africa as well.

Now to this month's trio of "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statements. On the topics of: Art, Viewpoint, and Regrets in the series of #1015-1017. Written originally back in early Feburary 2010 that's how prolific my backlog of material is with this ad hoc system to catalogue it all.

As always may you enjoy the insights offered up. To only enrich your own personal reflective tradition with the Divine and the spiritual in your lives.

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

Art:

1015) Art is a subjective experience neither here nor there in its fullest splendor. The value obtained from each encounter is truly in the eye of the beholder. For the artist it is of course in the construction of such a work no matter the specific medium it may be originally found within. The audience be it with devotees as connoisseurs down to the the general public at large are the one's ultimately to relish such fine art. Be it held in a gallery to a museum or into one's personal home it is nearly always a social gathering in the sharing for the artist's endeavor.

If any objective reality is to become applied to art it is by its symmetry of its apparent beauty. The shapes, the lines, the stroke of the artists hands, the center piece, the perception, and so much more. Are values all to express the intent and the artists vision in asking us to indulge with their pleasure. Or at other more sober times their horror in the subject itself where awareness is key to potential enlightenment.

Otherwise all art is in the perception of the creative viewer equally, if not more so from the artists mind. Where the reciprocal giving and receiving of attention as the audience becomes a carnival atmosphere in itself. Art is an outlet for the living and dying within all of us. Nothing more, nothing less, neither here nor there is the embodiment of art as a fervor. It is just the longing of the soul captured in its medium for all to value time and again.   ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


Viewpoint:

1016) The windows of our eyes allows us to perceive this reality of ours to a limited extent. Oft times we become clouded with inner judgements and doubts to the point of paralysis. We are merely servants to the muse that beckons us from within to better our lot in life. Sometime we refer to this muse as God ever so nurturing our hearts and minds to continue past our own self imposed limitations. Only by a cleansing of our spirits can our windows see clearly in a perceptive attitude. In regards to the meta landscape we call Life as a whole. Permitting compassion to ignite our spark within to live brighter lives for ourselves, our loved ones, and our neighbors at large in the world.

This reality is but one of many we shall continue to evolve in over the phases of our lives. Our viewpoint will naturally change as it should. However we must not allow condensation to fog over the windows of our eyes that lead to our heart, mind, and the overall soul. We must conclude to a regular regime of holistic health. In order to have a sound life filled with joy in our selected cross-purposes in living with dignity. Unless we forfeit what we would otherwise hold dearest allowing the toxic viewpoints of the world to trample us underfoot. We are not the chaff of the world, nor are we the titans to destroy our world as egotistical stewards of it. Only the truth meted out in moderation through a responsibility for ourselves can we begin to hope that our objective reality is wisely governed by our subjective whims. Only the light in its all encompassing brilliance is the greatest tool we have to save each other in humility from our lesser instincts as a mob mentality.
---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.


Regrets:

1017)  For those of us filled with a Life of hurtful regrets. Where only the few of us are so blessed to get an opportunity for a proverbial "Do Over". In making right what at times went wrong or completely unfulfilled in our hearts and minds. We owe ourselves the benefit of a second, third, fourth, and how many more chances for our own fruitful self-development as a person.

The rest of humanity must always find its way given what limited avenues we have in achieving a modest well intentioned life.  Those of you that have become doubled over in pain having given up to whatever limited degree. Give yourself an opening to change for the better, you do have the power even if you feel you must crawl in your own sorrow to find relief. Find allies in all given opportunities that support you with a sincere love. Without placing additional burdens on you that you can not handle alone. Know that a life filled with regrets without a recourse to change them becomes a life of sorrow and near endless misery. Those living in quiet desperation if but awakened to their true selves in the "Holy Spirit" would shrug off the web of lies they have adopted for themselves alone.

Forgiveness becomes the key to enter into the archway of an unconditional love. Forgiveness becomes not just a life saver for a "Do Over" it also ushers in the powers and principalities of positive change. Providence will roll over you like countless tsunamis to steer you away from your pain into the promised seas of everlasting hope, faith, and love. Where all your incomplete wishes as sincere endeavors for a life filled with prosperous change is not just possible, but inevitable. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "On Creation"

Creation:

Silence speaks the loudest with its anchored conviction of its sheer majesty of a sublime nature. God's silence dwarfs us all by his holy presence of testament of the glories that are his to offer alone. God's palette of creations continues to leave me dumbfounded and awestruck in its magnitude and variety of orders of life. We are so blessed, yet so conflicted by the incomprehension of it all. Such grandeur of my mere presence leaves me feeling guilty and unworthy to gaze upon such a sublime existence. Yet, I am a part of this orchestra of creation that has become manifested as a form of life unto itself. So than at least by default I am worthy to be here to experience life and its often mundane and extraordinary splendor. Amen.                   --- Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Broadcast Industry Concept: "Expansion of Premium Cable & Satellite Television Channels (ie Netflix, Hulu, Pandora)"

Hello All,

Today's "Gem of Opportunity" concept for would be television broadcasters. Such as Cable or Satellite television will certainly go in this direction sooner or later. Whereby the current line-up of Premium subscriber channels provided to customers as Tv viewers. Such as: HBO (Home Box Office), Cinemax, TMC (The Movie Channel), Showtime, Starz, etc... Have been holding steady for nearly two decades or so here in America as additional subscription costs for the traditional television market nationally. Now with the advent of the mobile and tablet viewers watching movies and television via the Internet. The rise of Internet only premium sites like Hulu or Pandora are gaining popularity. Not to mention Netflix having crushed the Blockbuster chain of video rental stores. Having converted its business to snail (postal) mail and then to digital streaming of content.

Many video game consoles such as the Sony Playstation and Microsoft's Xbox offer subscribers to their Internet gamer portals. The ability to watch Netflix, and Hulu programming from the comfort of their home entertainment systems. If not listen to Pandora music selections. Directly competing to a degree with cable and satellite television providers. Home users could also utilize a Roku device to stream Netflix, Hulu, Pandora similar to the video game consoles onto a home television set.

So my concept is an Evolutionary No-Brainer for Cable and Satellite providers to expand their line up of channels. Which they do twice or more times a year already with non-premium channel selections. However a Premium channel is about time to compete with the traditional players of HBO and Showtime fame. Already Netflix has launched its now award winning original "House of Cards" political drama with lead actor Kevin Spacey. Why not compete head to head with the Premium channels and thus expand their line-up of subscribers?

Perhaps existing subscribers online via the Internet to these three I've mentioned of "NetFlix, Hulu, and Pandora". Could give their loyal paying customers Free Access or a Discount Subscription when launching a Cable or Satellite Tv premium channel.

It's a logical next step where instead of finding all the other ways onto a home television entertainment system. (ie Roku, Video Game Consoles) To now go directly into the cable or satellite provider pipeline of premium subscriber television. Let's see how long it takes them to figure out this next move now that their brand recognition is a household name.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "All For One"

Hello All,

During the close of this momentous week at least here in America. We are always humbled by the needs of the world at large. No matter our place of birth or country of residence we are of this one inter connected species we call humanity. Our combined histories has been at times sordid with conflict. In spite of nation against nation being once mortal enemies. It is our children across the generations that redeem the sins of our ancestors. Allowing for the most part bygones to become nearly forgiven, if not forgotten.

Today's "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement is in the series of #1546 on the topic of "Light Workers". It's a term coined by "New Ager's" helping to articulate the good souls that serve those in need. Be it from suffering caused by others, or the pain some inflict on themselves alone. Light Workers, are often the very real embodiment of "Angels of Mercy". In spite of a world seething with conflict many of these "Light Workers" proceed with an unconditional Love. I say, Thank God for them in our world which is fraught with always a great need. Amen.


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

1546) Those of us whom are practitioners of benevolence otherwise known as "Light Workers" of the Heavens. We who believe if not more so love deeply to the point of a spiritual ecstasy. Have the power or grace of God with the support of all the souls in Heaven. A force for positive and beneficial change like no other in all realities where faith is necessary. As an instrument of worship and yet reflection of our essence practiced in willful deeds. To showcase our substance or worth as a spiritual being.

Magic may be deemed a pagan understanding from the Abrahamic faith traditions. Nonetheless we lack sophisticated jargon to describe the wonders that we as "Light Workers" can accomplish. By pursuing our life long love as a form of sanctified service in life. So I say we are "Divine Magi" not unlike the Magi of Ancient Persia of the "Three Wise Kings" era within Christianity. We have come to pay homage to each other with unconditional love expressed in moderation. Our spells as holy magicians are that of: blessings, boons, good omens, good luck, and ultimately miracles.

We cast forward our faith with our noble love to create things of wondrous beauty based on truth. Our work is that of the Angels for we are Angels come once more into Creation as people. To build, to maintain, to foster harmony directly to all for the "Kingdom of God" is Infinite in scope. We are of "One" Divine Spirit no matter how far flung we are across Infinity when we encounter each other in this one life. This duty is timeless and constant for all dreams are eternal. We are allowed to rest awhile and play to enjoy the wonders God(dess) has wrought through all. Still our roles are always true for the need has always been great no matter what form of life we assume by reincarnation.

As the 3 Musketeers would say; "All for One, and One for All!" Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "On Healing"

Hello All,

On this solemn American 12th anniversary of the terrorist attack of September 11th, 2001 in New York City, Washington D.C., and a rural field in Pennsylvania. I wanted to give a brief and simple "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement. On the basis of Healing, not unlike the Japanese WWII surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii back in December 7th, 1941. Borrowing from President Franklin D. Roosevelt brief sound byte this is another American anniversary to "Live in Infamy".

I would be amiss not to include our American Allies that have lost loved ones in the field of battle. Including to Love the souls of our enemies may they also rest in peace. Some could never forgive, for those that can you'll experience peace beyond all understanding. For the Love of God is Absolute. No matter if the love of humanity can at times become conditional as a response of those we care for in practice.

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

Healing:

Healing and forgiveness are the same, by giving up the error and setting yourself free. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "The Wonders of Good Luck In Expression"

Hello All,

I hope this weekend that is now wrapping up for you and your dear ones has been a welcome change. Now that a new week is about to commence as the wheel of time rotates once more. I wanted to express my heartfelt conviction that Good Luck is a rightful expression of our mutual Divinity. This is so because the wonders that good luck or good fortune places on display for many to see. Usually leaves us speechless with curiosity as to how such a feat could have elapsed before us. That mystery has another word which we all know as Grace.

Thus Good Luck is grace in action. It's simply put an expression of our divinity and in many ways. God, or the "Holy Spirit" of Angels, Ancestors, and Loved ones making their spiritual presence known to us with their love. So here is "Jewels of Truth" statement #1552 in the series written just an hour ago on the topic of "Good Luck".

Enjoy.

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

1552) The grace of good fortune in life is usually expressed as good luck. Where the near unexplainable manifests with a sheer audacity of grandeur. What becomes expressed is nothing less than the miraculous. The extraordinary wonder of heaven smiles upon thee with a deepening joy.

Good fortune or luck defines the moment with delight for what just has transpired. The uncommon event appears surrounded by the mundane. A paradox transforms the moment to one of curiosity if not a hearty gratitude. To become dumbfounded is a healthy sign of humility.  Allowing a deepening of ones role in the world and to a greater extent the mystery of living. All appears well and ones sense of appeasement is achieved with everything in hand.

This becomes the moment of a superficial to deepened reflection with joy all experienced in a split second. Afterwards the ordinary world jostles you back to your preconceived notions. Taking you off the hidden trail onto the well worn pathway in life.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "On Being Peaceful"

Peaceful:

To be peaceful is not always to be right. To be peaceful is always by a mutual consent with yourself and your maker God. Where acceptance calms the waters of your mind's sense of separation from the world. To be peaceful is to honor your neighbors actions as your own in so far that we all are one in Spirit. To be peaceful is to enlighten your view of the world not just through yourself. But through all life on our shared reality no matter the origin of the species. To be peaceful finally is to accept yourself as a whole being and not a fragmented one. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "On Affection"

Affection:

Material gifts be they financial or otherwise are not a replacement of a sincere intimacy in a relationship. Be it a parent to a child, between lovers, or a dear friend. Gifts have their place on special occasions in order to create kind memories lasting a cherished life. Tokens of appreciation however welcomed can not ever give a hug or the warmth of ones heart to another. Only by offering your presence abundantly will you gain the adoration you seek. If those who truly love you, will love your company more than your material gifts. Known this and you will avoid losing a lover, losing respect of a child, and most of all losing your sense of self. Amen.  ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Games Industry Concept: "Multiplayer Scalability as Middleware Game Software Suite"

Hello All,

Those of us as avid gamers be it on the PC/Mac or a video game console have had our noses against an artificial ceiling imposed by game publishers. What I mean for over a decade if not more multiplayer games as mostly FPS (First person shooters) combat games. Have only offered an upper limit of 64 (32 vs. 32) players per game round on a server. This Status Quo has created a vacuum of Opportunity for an enterprising game software company, if not a collective of grass roots coders / modders.

Game developers be they: DICE, Infinity Ward, Treyarch, Bungie, etc... Have forced fed gamers an artificial scale of multiplayer game play for far too long. Their reasons however have been valid to a point, be it restrictions on game development of time, resources such as labor and money, or plain lack of will power and vision in the final game design document. This game industry attitude has been prevalent for a dozen years now since the very first multiplayer games were 8 (4 vs. 4) players. Soon they leaped to 16 (8 vs. 8) and again they doubled over the years to 32 (16 vs. 16). Here's a little history the very first modern era multiplayer was on the "Atari ST" video game console for a game called "MIDI Maze". It debuted in 1987 and allowed up to 16 players to play together. Fast forward to the classic "Doom" in 1993 that allowed up to 4 players simultaneously. Where just a year prior in 1992 the father of the modern FPS shooter "Wolfenstein 3D" debuted by ID Software and Apogee Software as the publisher.

Now let me bring you closer to our early 21st century whereby a visionary game developer known as "Zipper Interactive". On the "PlayStation 3" console created a ground breaking FPS 256 Multiplayer Game Experience server side. The game is known as "MAG: Massive Action Game" that game title came out in 2010. I'm sad to say "Sony Computer Entertainment" the ones that support all things "Playstation". Bought out the once independent game developer and have shuttered them last year or so. The "MAG" multiplayer game servers will be shut down on January 1st, 2014 for good.

Aside from MMO FPS game titles such as "Planetside 1 & 2" brought to us by "Sony Online Entertainment". If not the MMOSIM known as "War World II Online" brought to us by game developer "Cornered Rat Software" with mixed results. Are the outstanding larger scale mutliplayer game experience that are combat shooter related known to the global consumer market.

Do take heart during my research for my innovative concept today I was pleasantly surprised it wasn't original. To say a Swedish non-profit staffed by 25 people created a Middleware Game Software that includes ground breaking multiplayer scalability. They're known as "Much Different".


Much Different "Man Vs Machine" (Link)

What "Much Different" accomplished took them 2 years to build and that was a 1,000 player internet browser FPS game. (technically they only got 999 players) They have moved onward to having supported "Battlestar Galactica" by game publisher "Big Point". Besides having recently been picked by "Behaviour Interactive" for the MMO of "Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade". Press Release (Link)

What I thought up as a innovative concept still stands as a market opportunity beyond that of a Visionary non-profit Swedish game software company. I would hope a competitor anywhere on this globe of ours could give "Much Different" a run on its world class multiplayer experience. Again I reiterate a game software company or a collective of like minded grass roots coders / modders could launch a venture in this direction.

This is what I a futurist innovator had in mind a software company or grass roots group offering an open source middleware of game utility software suite. Produces a demo that provides a 128 (64 vs. 64) FPS multiplayer game server experience. The demo could even provide a bare bones simplistic FPS multiplayer game as a proof of concept of said technology. That way anyone world wide could patch together either a rudimentry or sophisticated multiplayer game experience. That would Frickin Shame Game Publishers to jump on this Middleware Band Wagon. So tomorrow's FPS or even RPG games like "Neverwinter Nights" fame could have beyond the stagnant 64 (32 vs. 32) multiplayer game server experience.

The middleware game software suite can literally scale upwards to support 256 (of "Zipper Interactive" fame), 512, or even 1024 game multiplayer experiences. Such a software game company could go on to offer consultancy services to supplement their revenue needs.

Here is the (Link) to Pikkotekk multiplayer game technology experience provided by "Much Different" as an example. I believe they are coding in a language called "Unity" for their platform of choice.

If ambitious grass roots coders / modders did come together for such a open source venture. Their offering is only open source for non-commercial usage. So corporate clients would pay market driven license fees to use the middleware game software developed by their efforts. Where everyone else in a truer open source initiative becomes the guinea pigs. To test and help develop such a middleware software suite according to their specific project needs.

Like I've stated prior the Market Opportunity is here now! "Much Different", shouldn't be the only off the shelf middleware game software provider globally. For such a game technology that would otherwise be developed in-house by game developers. "Much Different", even has launched a kiddie MMO for toddlers called "Badanamu World"(Link) for the South Koreans from what I understand.

So who else in Europe, Asia, or in the United States is bold enough to pursue such a vision to break the dozen years multiplayer artificial barrier from the games industry?
