"Atrayo's Oracle" Turns 8 Years Old!

"Atrayo's Oracle" Turns 8 Years Old!

Hello All, With a happy heart I'm proud to say "Atrayo's Oracle" has turned 8 years old here at Google's Blogger service. I would have not had an inkling that I would be around for 8 years time online. I'm happy to say I'm glad I was proven very wrong. For when I first started "Atrayo's Oracle" I was two years out from publishing my first book ever of "Jewels of Truth: A Soul Odyssey Within", Volume 1". Today I continue the joy of sharing the Good News of inspiring souls from the well spring of the "Holy Spirit" within all of us. Besides offering a plethora of "Gem of Opportunities" or otherwise known as my original innovative concepts. Across a litany of industries, including non-profits and governmental sectors. I have at times gone onto spotting long term mega trends as potential societal impacts I for see possibly occurring. Especially as it relates to here in America and the growth of the Hegemony of China. As I stated back on July 5th "Atrayo's Oracle" can be found in these satellite locations online. Such as: 1) Google's Blogger: http://atrayosoracle.blogspot.com 2) Tumblr: http://atrayo.tumblr.com 3) Facebook Fanpage: https://www.facebook.com/AtrayosOracle 4) Twitter:  (My Personal Profile) http://twitter.com/atrayo 5) Google + (Plus)  (My Personal Profile) However I've expanded to 2 more spiritually oriented communities online. They are: 6) Beliefnet.com: (Select "Journal Tab" on the left hand side of my profile page) http://community.beliefnet.com/atrayo 7) Temple Illuminatus:  (A esoteric often Pagan alternative spirituality based on Benevolence Online Community.) http://www.templeilluminatus.com/profile/Atrayo No matter where you find my writings online be they spiritually oriented steeped in wisdom. Or the more secular minded innovative ventures as potential approaches of opportunity. I hope you come away from "Atrayo's Oracle" inspired, bemused, intrigued, if not challenged at times. For we all become the richer of this union of giving and receiving. Amen.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "On Living"

Living: It is braver to live, than to die. Anyone can die, but very few truly live.

Music Industry Concept: "One Song, Multiple Lyrics"

Hello All, Today's entry is a "Gem of Opportunity" as one of countless innovations I provide here at "Atrayo's Oracle" since 2005. First off, I dedicate this to a "Mr. Dela (Carlos) Candela" although your way may feel incomplete without your music. Your music hasn't even left you, you have just switched to another frequency in your life. The rhythm beat is eternal. Just silence your white noise and you'll find it singing your dreams into reality. To all other songwriters undiscovered and those that have fallen off the soul train. Challenge yourselves with my concept of today, even if it is just a mental experiment. To prove to yourselves that you have the skills and the talent to pull it off. My concept of "One Song, Multiple Lyrics" is meant to clear the cobwebs off of past popular music. Even music that is now Copyright Free. Meaning: Nursery rhythm's, Patriotic Songs (National Anthems), Gospel music (ie Church music), Classical music, etc... Music that however belongs to a record label, well what can I say? If the song you put out that has been reinvented in lyrical content becomes famous. Well just get prior approval from the record labels if you go professional with it. Taking music of one genre and completely twisting it out into another interpretation of a musical genre. However keeping up to 90% of the original instrumentation that made the song famous in the first place. Your just Reskinning the song inserting brand new unheard of Lyrical Content. Examples for instance taking the classical "Flight of the Valkyries" without any lyrics. By arranging it to a musical genre of say heavy metal music or some form of grunge alternative genre. Another example taking "Queen's, Rock it" song and reinventing the lyrics to a Dance genre beat. Or "Cindy Laupers, Girls Just Want To Have Fun" and reworking / reskinning the lyrics to a Rap genre of music. When I mean reskinning I mean Gutting the original lyrics of a popular or famous song. To insert your own creation in Lyrics to the musical beat, harmony, melody that already sounds and feels good to the song. This is no way resampling by those of you that are Disc Jockeys (DJs). The Song Writers that have Cajones can go after the Sacred Cows by slaughtering them creatively speaking. For instance reworking / reskinning the song "Amazing Grace", the "American National Anthem", or a Beatles song "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds". So many in years past have reskinned the nursery rhythm of "Jack & Jill" fetching their pail of water up the hill. Often using adult mature language in the process, comedian "Andrew Dice Clay" comes to mind years ago. Recording artists if not more over record labels can put out an album using my concept. Whereby 2 to 3 songs are reskinned 2 to 3 times apiece. Yes, you heard me right after reworking the lyrics to a song once. Do it all over again with a completely different set of lyrics. That talent will belong to the greatest of Song Writers for sure. So I challenge all you Song Writers that are dying to break into the music industry. Show your chops by bringing back forgotten popular and famous music reskinned for a contemporary generation of music listeners world wide. Talk about recycling music, isn't that Green?

Governmental Software Concept: "True Virtualized Municipalities" (TVM)

Hello All, This is my one entry for the series I call "Gem of Opportunity" by elaborating on potential conceptualizations of my own making. That provides a novel solution if not a market opportunity at hand for those bold enough to seize the day. Today's governmental software system concept I'll coin as a "True Virtualized Municipality" or (TVM) for short. It encompasses a software development platform utilized for IT (Information Technology) departments of a county to local city municipality. Its functions are manifold from government, commercial, to residential services using both a virtualized and augmented reality system in a 3D to at times a 4D (ie Time) landscape. Serving at large city planners, city workers, 1st responders (ie Police, Firefighters, Paramedics), larger corporate entities, small businesses, and finally the general tax paying public.

For instance take what "Google Maps" has offered to the general public at large on a national basis across America. Be it by satellite views down to a local city street level layout. Although with sometimes outdated pictorial views in a 360 degree environment. Even now "Apple Computers Inc." is seeking to compete with "Google's" software mapping application for its own mobile and tablet computer customers. Now picture (pun intended) a system more comprehensive than today's "Google Maps" used by county or local city governments. Where the public works department by means of the IT office manages a small to larger virtualized city landscape. Be it in 3D to 4D real time or near real time scanning. Take for instance the "City of Hollywood" California for the city district of "Rodeo Drive" wants an added protective informative layer to such a famous luxurious landmark. If not "New York City" overlooking the "Wall Street District" as another example of a pivotal cityscape that can utilize a virtualized protective informative layer in 3D to 4D cross purposes. The entire virtualized city landscape will be drawn to near full scale if at all possible. Meaning down to the foot if not otherwise down to the blade of grass in the city park. Abandoned areas be it scrub woodlands or other derelict structures that are in ruins located in blighted neighborhoods will also be showcased. Taking various Data Sourced Inputs that are constantly streamed into the "True Virtualized Municipality". Providing an onion skin approach to overlapping layers of piped in informational dynamics. Such as: Satellite Telemetry, Local Dopler Radar weather scans perhaps utilizing local weather TV station resources, geological surveys, all Cellular Tower GPS inputs from fixed structures, Water Management surveys, Chemical / Biological Hazard sensor data, Airport Authority aerial traffic and weather forecasts, Local Traffic Authorities Live Cameras such as on highways and intersections, All outward to street level private security cameras belonging to corporate or small business owners (ie Banks & ATM machines, Jewelry stores, Various retailers, Gasoline Stations, etc...) In a manner to mimic what the "City of London" does in Great Britain with their CCTV's utilized by police authorities. However having a secondary layer of a real time or near real time scanning of public spaces. To aid the virtualization of an urban landscape into 3D modeling purposes. Providing meta data points that are more than informational or statistically based. That also provides a colorful canvas (real time scanning) to the skeletal template of the city urban plan as its been laid out. Consider it a very Functional Virtual City Sandbox not unlike those developed by game designers. Like in the popular "Grand Theft Auto Series or Saints Row" line of simulated game sandboxes. In the beginning the very 1st generation of such a software system will only provide view points of a phantom camera much like "Google Maps". Where the camera utility zooms in and out as desired by the user of such a map application. Later software generational versions can include pedestrian or vehicular avatars. Although these avatars can not become anonymous in the usage of such a software system. Meaning those logged in via a computer system within a public general space. Be it by mobile device or other misc platform such as in a public library terminal. Will need to have a registered account with your very real identity included (ie drivers license, voter registration, birth certificate, etc...) The reason being as long as a registered user is logged into such a publicly available system via their mobile device. Located within the public general spaces as in mostly outdoor locales they may be deemed as an observational asset. (ie cases of public safety) This will certainly become a "Civil Rights" hotbed issue within democracies. Where safeguards of a "checks and balance" system may need to be included so as to avoid privacy issue abuses. From those with sufficient clearance to access such navigational data points of citizens within the software (TVM) system. (ie police & city workers) An example of an observational asset by an ordinary registered citizen logged into the "True Virtualized Municipality" system. Lets say they are walking in the back streets of a residential neighborhood. Where a rainfall down pour takes hold during inclement weather. When the citizen huddled near a tree notices the local drainage sewer system is handling the deluge in a poor manner. Street level flooding begins to take hold so the good Samaritan sends an alert be it by voice, text, or captured photo Image into the (TVM) system. Where the artificial intelligence begins to scan the locality to determine if a legitimate local flash flood is indeed occurring. Satellite telemetry if at all possible scans the local street level to see if the local municipal drainage is up to snuff. Measuring the rainfall downpour velocity and how quickly if at all the sewer drainage system is coping. If there is indeed a flash flood in mere seconds after the good Samaritan logged his alert call into the (TVM) system. A local weather advisory goes up of a flash flood in such and such street neighborhood is occurring. All nearby pedestrians and those in vehicles driving that are logged into the (TVM) system receive a audio alert of a nearby flash flood. Another example of an observational asset by a logged in registered citizen again as a pedestrian at a public traffic intersection. A freak auto accident collision occurs between 2 or more cars. Whilst the typical person is dialing 911 emergency. Those public registered citizens can send a voice, text, or in this case a 911 Image alert into the (TVM) system. All through the mobile device camera uploading the image tracked by GPS signifying its for such and such traffic intersection. Again if the artificial intelligence core hasn't already picked up on such a local 911 alert of an auto accident. It begins to sweep for ancillary good Samaritan (TVM) voice, text description, and certainly Image alerts. Where it begins to paint a very near real time visual image that is piped into police, fire rescue, and paramedic emergency vehicles. So the 1st responders can get a "Big Brother" eye in the sky image of the intersection auto accident. To plan for the minute or so available best practices in order to breech such a scenario. Again for the above example local traffic can become diverted via alerts issued by the artificial intelligence of the (TVM) system. To nearby vehicular traffic and so forth.  Other applications of the "True Virtualized Municipality" software system is to alter how in many instances we interact with the 2D Internet of today. Whereby future Internet websites will become migrated into a 3D environment via similar applications of the (TVM) system. For example a local City Hall will become rendered in a virtual 3D scale with real time or near time scans of the general public entering and exiting such a building. The virtual City Hall in 3D will become its own website for users from the Internet. At the margins of the 3D website can be all the bells and whistles of app features. Including plugins of social media services of: Facebook, Linkedin, Twitter, etc... Entering such a public governmental building with one's phantom camera or in later registered avatar software versions. One encounters the very real scanned lobby with an office directory at the back wall. Those offices open to the general public a user clicks on the office directory link and is magically transported into such an office. Where they're greeted by the real person receptionist at her desk like if it was an incoming phone call. In this case it'll be the phantom camera or the registered citizen by their real proper name. If a waiting line exists in such an office than both local real people and virtualized people are lumped together. As in a first come, first served basis waiting line that is both real and virtualized. Eventually the real waiting line in a office may be done away with if the virtual waiting line proves popular and successful. Where the only people in such a city office will be the city workers at their real desks and their augmented reality desks within the virtual office scape. So if a clocked in city worker can be tracked like today's GPS enabled vehicle fleets out on the public roads. However in this case its for security purposes, or if someone has taken an excessive bathroom break. City workers based on security clearance may be able to access additional private city office floors or what have you within the 3D enabled City Hall. So instead of having to go up and travel 2 floors and deliver a file in person. The city worker via the (TVM) system can digitally transmit files, voice messages, etc.. to a person's particular desk. Consider it another layer of communication beyond that of the standard email, phone, SMS text, or social media platform. Also any additional public government television channels can also be piped into such a (TVM) system. Be it for publicly held local city council meetings. That logged in registered citizens can petition to speak in audio and video (ie a Skype plugin), or type messages in text when making their case. By delivering a pointed remark on any particular standing issue. Considering it a form of civic participation from the general interested public. Now consider every residential registered citizen of the "True Virtualized Municpality" system. Has their real home property converted into a 3D website of its own standing. Where again users from the Internet that happen to know you personally can visit your very real 3D Home Page. (it gives the home page real significance this time and not the symbolic Internet lingo of today) On your personal 3D home property exterior website again at the margins each user is offered apps and plugins to utilize by their own customizations. Be it social media plugins of: Facebook, Twitter, Blog sites, etc... Every registered user will also receive their own municipal email address account. The address will be locked to the physical property address so the name of it may be very generic by street address. Much like your real mail box sitting at street level or within an apartment complex. Emails received at such a municipal street address will be the typical. Such as everything sent to you by snail mail via the postal system will also receive a parallel digital email message. For example: drivers license renewals, property tax assessments or payments due, election days and results, local water and sewage bills, boiled water advisory, sewage spill advisory, local flood and tornado warnings, etc... Not to leave the larger commercial enterprises out of the loop be they larger franchise outlets down to the local small business owner. They're business property address will also become their own 3D website showcasing the real exterior of their business operation. Where local small to corporate business owners can migrate their E-Commerce Operations be it for retail or business to business supply chain needs. Consider a retail customer entering your 3D business outlet website via their mobile smartphone device that happens to be registered to the (TVM) system. They can browse in full 3D merchandise that is actually on your real store outlet shelf such as at a Walmart locale. By means of sensors on the store shelves or any indoor store cameras. Let's say they're at the electronics television section and are considering buying an LCD Tv. They click on the TV and watch as the product information is displayed to them. The customer can switch television channels to broadcast local Tv stations. Now the customer borrows a virtual copy of your LCD Tv and situates it inside a virtual mock up of their own exact living room layout. After they tweak the placement setting of the LCD in their own prior scanned home using (TVM) utility tools. They want to see what the LCD Tv packaging will look like when its removed out of the box. Where they watch a quick video of a store employee removing the product out of the box. As in an instructional video in how to configure the LCD Tv stand. With any such pertinent product information when using custom settings via a remote control set up. Of course savvy retail customers can go bargain shopping via the (TVM) system. Entering any of a litany of local 3D business websites of electronic stores searching for the best price. Later versions of the "True Virtualized Municipality" software system can provide upgrade tiered packages to commercial and residential address customers. To improve the look and functionality if so desired of their 3D exterior property address websites. All of this can be administered by the local municipality via the public works section such as the IT department. That is with the commercial software vendor that developed the (TVM) system by partnering in customer support for the local city or county government. The local government can decide to keep all of this in-house in order to generate additional revenue streams to the local treasury. Besides the usual fare of collecting taxes, fees, etc... If kept in-house the local government IT departments will need an increased authoritative mandate from the State government with infrastructure outlay of capital expenses as it is needed. Otherwise the State or local county government can elect to receive all this support outside of the software developer that built such a system from scratch. To open it up to private commercial contract vendors by an open bidding process to implement it for a local municipality. In conjunction with partnerships with additional city government services such as tie-ins with first responders. The "True Virtualized Municipality" software system is designed to be from the ground up an additional overlay of digitized mechanisms. To aid and support the delivery of local government resources as they are needed. Moreover it will also receive qualified support for commercial and residential needs as they appear over time into the implementation of such a platform. This is clearly the future where the Internet of today can develop into tomorrow. Leaving behind in many instances the vestiges of the atypical 2D environments when interfacing with the technology of tomorrow practically on our doorstep here today.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Hello All, Again it seems I have left this segment of "Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month" to the very end. As the Summer heat wave grips the country if not certain parts of the world. I hope many of you are finding yourself well hydrated and protected from the intense rays of the sun. Today's all original trio of "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statements written originally back in early January 2010. Are on the topics of the "Kingdom of God, Source, and Achievement" in the series of #1009-1011. As always enjoy them and may you find them insightful according to your own spiritual tradition in life. ---------------------------------- 1009) For those that seek the "Kingdom of God" in your own midst. First look within your being poised in silence where all is quiet in heart and mind. There while calm without stirring you shall within the fullest scope of harmony find yourselves in the gap between moments. This space between moments allows you to become enshrined in all things holy. Your awakening becomes true as a soul. There is no arrival, you just are who you are in essence. In finding yourself you encounter unity with all things in a stillness that is loud to all the senses. A nexus begins to take form where thought and intention are one in your presence. What one wills becomes so in spirit. This is where eternity and infinity become realities of your own making in the stillness beyond the witness, but of the being within. You are at the intersection between Heaven and Earth in spirit. Who you are as a person means little to whom you are in divinity. Such an awareness forestalls all that is rational to the mortal mindset, and yet for the awakened soul it is as sweet as the morning dew. In being in such a realm you have arrived within the "Kingdom of God(dess)". This is your home and in all reality you have never left such a place. Only in your ego do you believe you are separate from the womb of Creation. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. 1010) We are the "Living Waters" of the Source we know as God. All things become nourished in our divine spirits. For this we give praise to God for such an all encompassing grace. These "Living Waters" is of the very same delta where the Angels drink and bathe in the "Rays of God". We are not shunned as foreigners from such a holy and sacred wonder known to us as God(dess). All beautiful souls are welcomed to stay awhile, although awhile is another word for eternity. All that belong to Heaven by means of the "Holy Spirit" within us all are entitled to rejoice in the splendor of the gods of Creation. We are all little deities in the making on the scale of the absolute. This is in part the meaning and truest essence of becoming in the Image and Likeness of our Creator, God.  Not all realize such a grace in this life, many more will fear it as heresy.  Those not wanting of Heaven in its purest form can wait longer to enter the lesser realms of grace.  As slivers or pieces of God we are Infinite aspects of the One. Reflections of Creation bound together as a whole body of Life. What one entity tears apart another will sew back into form. This is the cycle of life, not all is as chaotic as it seems dear child of Heaven. Take heed, allow your faith to become whole once more. We are mighty heirs to all things of wonder and grace. Denial of such a truth only delays our justice that is at hand, it does not erase it however. Amen.

---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. 1011) There are three pillars to achievement for the human condition. They are as follows: academics, athletics, and the arts. Where each one represents a sphere of influence in any society at large. All are outlets for personal growth to become attained for the greatest good of the many.  For example, Academics permits the robust development of the discerning mind. All things of the learned come into view allowing critical thought to become joined with reason and logic. Next comes development of the human form meaning the body by means of Athletics. This is where athletes perform for the masses and at times for their own self-mastery of all things of physical accomplishment. Taking great pride to best their own peers and for the truly renowned to become living legends in their own time. Next comes the Arts where the expressiveness of the Soul becomes paramount. No matter the medium selected art fashions the mortal world of form to its own devices. At the behest of the artist or their own tempest from within that can drive them to extremes if not weary enough. Artists of renown can help define and articulate the collective unconscious that stirs in the hearts and minds of the masses. The greatest of these become Oracles of their own age seeking to serve rather than to profit for personal gains alone.  These are the 3 circles of the mind, body, and soul in a steady progression in seeking to reach a state of excellence for the human condition. This becomes the path of the noble hearted expressing for a society what it could not otherwise do for itself on the scale of the macro. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. --------------------------------- All I can say about life is, Oh God, enjoy it! ---Bob Newhart. There must be always remaining in every life, some place for the singing of Angels, some place for that which in itself is breathless and beautiful. ---Howard Thurman. Take the first step in faith. You don't have to see the whole staircase. Just take the first step. ---Martin Luther King, Jr. Providence has hidden a charm in difficult undertakings which is appreciated only by those who dare to grapple with them. ---Anne-Sophie Swetchine. I have said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may be complete. ---John 15:11 The arts must be considered an essential element of education... They are tools for living life reflectively, joyfully, and with the ability to shape the future. ---Shirley Trusty Corey. The fragrance always remains in the hand that gives the rose. ---Heda Bejar. One must be a wise reader to quote wisely and well. ---Amos Bronson Alcott.

Magic: I believe and know in Magic! This magic is not pagan nor based upon witchcraft. It is based on the sacred "Divinity" within all of us and the beauty of life itself. This magic I speak of manifests itself in synchronicity, omens, blessings, and most of all in "Miracles" both small and large. Another word for this magic is the "Grace of God(dess)" that performs wonders that are dynamic and vibrantly alive. All of life is singing in harmony. It is only when we quiet the turmoil around our minds and hearts by truly listening. Can we begin to hear the orchestra of angels playing for God(dess) in its fullest splendor. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
