Jewels of Truth Reading From Volume 1, A Statement On Eternity

Eternity: The present moment is eternity renewing itself constantly as a rebirth of all life. Whether this life is aware or not of its heritage in this eternal destiny we call Creation. The "Now" as it is referred to is actually God acknowledging his Creation moment by moment as the expression of his Majestic Divinity. Regardlessif the children of his creations remember this truth or not. It is as it is for time is truly non-linear in the scope of the spiritual reality. This is how in one manner why eternity exists as it always has been for now and forever more. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. "Jewels of Truth: A Soul Odyssey Within", Volume 1 pg. 20

Jewels of Truth Statement: God's One True Face

Hello All, Here we are together already on the half-way point of this first month of the year. Kudos, to my readers in both "Poland and Malaysia" that have spiked my readership numbers for the last couple of months. I appreciate the attention and your readership, truly I do. Today's entry is on the topic of "God's Face" as the very majestic "Holy Spirit", and the one he shares through his own creations. Which we all have an aspect of him in the very core of our spiritual identity. This "Jewels of Truth" statement is numbered #1633 in the series and was written in late December of last year. As always do enjoy the content and may it very well stretch your perception of what it means to be a very much alive spiritual entity in God. Amen. --------------------------------------------------- God: 1633) Our God the one true god will only have "One Face"! Not unlike any other living creature that has only one face in composition. However such a magnificent face has an infinite variety of expressions. That portray life in its most various forms. Not all expressions will be recognizable to even the most devout pilgrim as a supplicant to God. This is why you will know the most earnest being by their actions rather than their speech alone. Many will be convinced otherwise and thus become easily fooled by the charisma of a pretender. For every deceived person there are ten more innocent persons awaiting God into their own personal lives. The harvest of souls is ever growing in evangelism that is filled with compassion and humility. If one religion or philosophy does not speak to your soul. Then move onward looking for benevolence wherever it may be found. Allow the spirits of the ancestors to guide you and not the tricksters amongst humanity. You will know you have found a slice of paradise in faith and understanding. When your humanity is not smothered nor are you treated like cattle. A well traveled soul is more respectable than one whom has denied their own divinity. Albeit all are worthy vessels for the divine to inhabit in sincere measure. Having mindfulness not to harm your brothers or sisters by proclaiming ego based superiority in any form. Be it in your duties or rank by means of service in whatever aspect it may take in practice. God(dess), is always found in all things simple in nature. All gentle and diminutive forms of life is God at his most sublime akin to a child. Be in awe wherever you find the splendor of mother nature for Father God is wed to her for an eternity. You will find the beloved with his spouse always in the "Holy Spirit" of matrimony. Treat all creatures with reverence as you should be treated with dignity and not with fear. Respect the nature of each entity for all have boundaries as mortals. As souls however we are all boundless through our united "Spirit of God". God, the one true god of all deities assumes them all as his progeny in Spirit. Watch him smile with love in gladness at his creations forever more. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Games Industry Store Policy Concept: Treating Game Cards Like Lotto Scratch Off's At Retail

Hello All, Today's concept is more so a common sense retail store policy that is long over due. For nearly a decade now game publishers first introduced on retail store shelves like in "Walmart or Best Buy" game cards as a product. Basically a Game Card is a highly decorated piece of card board with a very much lauded crucial hidden code. The code is layered under that latex like silvery substance you see on Lotto game scratch cards. What the game card code buys is either proprietary currency from the game publisher. Or a month's worth subscription to any particular MMO (Massively Multiplayer Online) game they may offer.  Here below is a picture from "Sony Online Entertainment" (SOE) game card as how it would sorta appear on a retail store shelf.

Such game cards appear in a card board deck as a promotional display usually within the video game sales department. For years this is how they have been presented and sold at retail spaces. The danger is either unattended minors or professional shop lifters just scratching off the game cards and thus stealing the highly prized codes. When I first learned about such a product within stores I was astonished that these game cards weren't placed under the sales counter. Now years later when I venture into the video games department I see littered scratched off game cards. Plundered like booty by young or older devious gamers that literally game the system (pun intended) by stealing such retail codes. What can be far worse is potentially criminal thieves stealing dozens of these unattended retail game cards and grabbing the codes. Where like a ticket scalper they hawk the codes at a lower price point reselling them creating a cottage "Black Market" before they've ever been sold! What this denotes is a game publisher and the retailer not fully comprehending the jeopardy they're in with legitimate sales. This can drive up incidents of stores returning damaged or in this case tampered merchandise back to their wholesale distributors. Not to mention putting your customers through the ringer by having them explain at your store what happened upon returning the product. Case in point I heard of a testimonial from a community guild mate of mine within our forum site. He went to his local "Walmart" store here in the States and purchased several SOE Game Cards like the one shown above. When he arrived home and began to input the codes he received errors that the codes have already been claimed. I'm sure his frustration only grew from there when he called the SOE customer service department in California. (note they do not have a toll-free phone number) He was told his only recourse is to return the tampered game cards to the retailer. In part as a first time buyer of these tampered game cards he certainly feels jilted which his only fault wasn't being careful. However sincerely this wasn't the customers fault it was both the retailer "Walmart" and that of SOE. Consider how many non-gamers buy these game cards as a gift for children or other adults to enjoy. Only to hand them a tampered used game card without knowing any better. A major insult to injury I say. Thus this Store Policy Concept is born where hopefully those industry insiders or Venture Capitalists that may happen to read my unique blog site take notice. Opportunity is afoot. Below I'll explain three potential solutions that game publishers that can provide guidance to their retail partners. First, train your sales cashiers that ring up your customer transactions to spot a tampered game card. If it's been scratched off by a thief its no good to your customer. This one step alone will save the store a drama with your customer by having to return a tampered game card. A customer service situation averted is a customer service incident saved from ever needing to occur. Second, if game publishers or retailers insist that product placement within a video game department has to stay the same. Then train your store management, stocking employees, and electronic department attendants to keep on the look out of any tampered game cards on store shelves. To immediately remove them as encountered before a hapless customer purchases one. Also, to keep very vigilant of any store thieves stealing codes in that department. They may also take the product into the store bath room and lift potentially dozens of game card codes. Then subsequently dumping the tampered game cards into a random store shelf hallway. To be replaced by staff on its proper shelf not realizing that it was tampered. Or the code thief could just not even care by being that sneaky in effort and leave countless game cards in the bathroom area itself. Third, this is the most Ideal Method to place the game cards behind a sales counter display or secure area shelf. Much like a Lotto game Scratch-Off that are prominently displayed next to the cigarette cartoons and porn magazines. (ie convenience stores like "7-Eleven") This way the game cards aren't a temptation for unattended minors or thieves from stealing the codes. If this means paying retailers extra to place such merchandise behind the secure sales counter it will be worth it. Saving yourselves the headache and your customers as well for being the point man in dealing with such cases of unnoticed code theft in regards to customer service incidents. Basically this is a clear case of a lack of understanding of the gamer sub-culture in popular society. Where game publishers offering a convenience to their customers in a store retail environment. Just having them placed in an unsecured location on a store shelf. This sort of retail store neglect and free for all by thieves has been ongoing for numerous years now. Game publishers are partly to blame for not providing their retail partners clear guidance on product placement. I suppose game publishers have lacked this fore sight since they sell their game currency and game subscriptions in a secure E-Commerce outlet. I hope this games industry store policy concept is of help to major big box retailers and game publishers. Since your small business hobby store owners probably already have the better common sense by avoiding the mistakes your committing at point of sale opportunities.

Jewels of Truth Statement: Worship Is Where The Heart Is

Hello All, Today many of us find ourselves at a cross roads in life. Struggling to make ends meat and often asked to cut corners in order to skirt on by. Many will not notice, which makes it the worse on us who become accustomed to accomplishing things by the wrong manner. Until that awful day our routine forsakes us and we're called to task for what has been prior the most effective outlet to reach our daily bread. We blame the one with authority because of their hypocrisy by making demands on us. That there would be no other way to achieve without short cuts. Truth to be told, it is our own behavior become habit form that led us astray. If you bend and bend like the bamboo shoot and finally break in two. Than find yourself another line of work, where your efforts are appreciated with kindness and rewards. Otherwise you'll toil away in a prison of your own miserable making. Live your dharma, be alive in harmony with your truth. Only such a love will set you free from any hardship where you'll find yourself in the most sublime sanctuary ever to be created. Today's "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement was written just today in the series #1623. On the topic of Worship. Where we find our maker in union with us if we dare create such a space with our sublime divinity. Enjoy. -------------------------------------- Worship 1623)  The greatest place to worship God is from within your heart. So church is where the heart is. The temple is where the heart is. The mosque is where the heart is. All shrines on Earth is where the heart is in living truth. To worship God means not to forsake your fellow humanity to bloodshed. Your actions in worship must mirror your good intended deeds to all who are your siblings in the "Holy Spirit". To divorce yourself from your place in worship is to undo the grace you have sought initially. Be not afraid to declare the truth when wrong doers run amok. But, to raise your hand in anger and hate will make you be like them in principle. Your combined divinity is greater than such intended punitive actions. Instead raise your voices in praise to God that he will Shepard the willing to a heavenly solution. For a worldly solution often belongs more to the damned than truly to the divine in nature. Remember this often when you choose to mistreat your fellow humanity and the Earth itself. You will be watched by the Angels constantly. Although forgiveness is always available to the repentant in spirit. Love with conviction according to the "Will of God" that seeks goodness in moderation for the living. All else surrender to the Angels to redeem through your concerted efforts in order to create grace where it was lacking. Be not dismayed by appearances, follow your heart and not your eyes. Worship in the "Now" moment, living in awe to what has gone before and will come again in the "Circle of Life". Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: Democracy Come Undone

Hello All, Recently as I have been witnessing the devolution of politics in my own country at least on the Federal National level. Like many of my own countryman I have felt appalled, apathetic, disappointed, besides many other stomach turning emotions. This is not to say there is no hope, yes there is hope. However it may not fully materialize itself in our present tense by the litany of shenanigans of our elected buffoons. Since truly a congress under a zoological sense is considered a pack of buffoons by the definition of the word. Yet, this is insulting the literal buffoons as our primate cousins to compare them to near useless elected political officials. The following "Jewels of Truth" statement #1607 was written on the topic of Governance. It's more so directly pointed at America's contemporary disposition in terms to illogical and ineffective governance policies. With its petty and selfish bickering in our national halls of power. In the wake of all this inaction perhaps unrealized by many its creating a literal and figurative power vacuum in Washington D.C. Whereby if the Federal government is no longer seen as credible, than the States in themselves will usurp more power to their own ends. Creating a new or old "Tug of War" between the Federal powers versus the States semi-autonomy. This is what happens as unintended consequences to the "Great American Sell Out". By our political leaders to the capitalists (monied special interests) without much pension for ethics or morality. True profits, led by false prophets ain't that a recipe for disaster in the world?   ---------------------------------------- Governance: 1607) For a nation to value its contributions to the world. It must first make an honest assessment of what it holds dearest in societal values. Sometimes hypocrisy will creep into such a discourse. When elegant and noble platitudes will be paid lip service. Where in the farthest reaches away from the public eye is mischief afoot. Setting up a program of maleficence in order to maintain internal and external grips on power at nearly any cost. If such a nation is a declared democracy it won't stay one for long. For the classical modus operandi  has changed in order to calcify its base of power. The term the "Emperor Wears No Clothing" signifies a "House of Cards" or in other words a power vacuum is occurring. A costly game of charades where even ones allies across the globe are confused as to your actual motivations. Pretenders posing as the ideological solution parade themselves across all forms of public media outlets as the populace consumes the news. Truly do not follow the clowns for their amusement is not to be desired. These are the charlatans seeking fame and fortune to develop their own "Cult of Personality". False Prophets by any other name to confuse the sincere and entertain the vain at heart. When a nations cultural celebrities are gossiped over the neglect of the masses. Than surely a societal revolution is simmering just beneath the surface. This is when the temperature of a nation becomes frothy where tempers begin to boil over the pot. Ignore the pains of a society to your own undoing in the end. Whistle blowers seeking to alleviate the steam being generated senselessly soon find themselves as public enemy number one by the State. Patriots of tomorrow despised today by the actual felons committing crimes against the populace. Only to become upheld by the doctrines of subterfuge allowed by the State, but revealed by the whistle blowers. Revolt is not the answer, but civil disobedience is the first line of defense against gross injustice across the land. Deny not the dignity of those you disagree with in terms to secular governance policy. Never demonize them lest you seek violence over peace. Make not enemies of your own countryman. Resolve differences in the spirit of goodwill led by true compromise. Otherwise the nation will erupt into chaos, if not eventually become fully undone at the seams.   ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Consumer Novelty Product Concept: Insect Catch & Release Trap

Hello All, In just a couple days from now many will be celebrating "Halloween" at least here in the Western world. Notorious for creepy crawlies of all sorts as freaky insects that menace unsuspecting travelers. Well forget all that for today's concept isn't about "All Hallow's Eve", nor is it intended as a spoof. Those of us who are spiritual practitioners (such as buddhists) or better yet abhor taking a life even if its a minuscule insect. Than today's concept is for you. First, I did a cursory search for a consumer product that may even be relatively close to this idea of mine. All I found was a link for a non-lethal way not to kill a mouse. Since last I checked a mouse isn't an insect, although still a pest. That contraption didn't count against today's "Insect Catch & Release Trap". I did discover a brief abstract at the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture) by an author named "Liu,Y.B." submitted back in 2004. (Link) A Version of an Non-Lethal Insect Trap However I may be a designer of innovative concepts, albeit I'm not a graphical artist nor an engineer. Since you'll notice a lack of pictures here at "Atrayo's Oracle" blog site. I leave it to the readers Imagination via how books in the genre of fiction are often laid out. With that stated and out front this invention of a "Insect Catch and Release Trap". Would need a series of competing functional designs to see which one works as a universal trap. Be it for both small to medium sized bugs that are terrestrial land based and also flight capable. Unless of course 2 insect catch and release traps are settled upon as a consumer product line. One for the aforementioned creepy land crawlers and another for those pesky flying dive bombers as insects. I did experiment with one potential idea that differs from the USDA one linked above. Consider it as a mismatched implements that proved moderately successful in capturing a flying moth and a small spider. I used one of those take-out Cantonese plastic soup containers with a regular ink jet sheet of printing paper. Although both the captured moth and small spider were on a flat surface in my household. Making sure not to allow the sheet of flat paper to wobble and create an opening when moving outside to release the insect. Otherwise it's back to square one with a flying insect that manages to escape your rescue attempt on its life. My brief household field experiment was successful although making a true prototype of this make shift contraption I hobbled together. Will take a firm working out the kinks if it were to mimic a chamber like the Cantonese plastic soup container in size. With a retractable flap that is secured in place that is still enough not to wobble during transit outside for an insect release. I do have like Five potential product disclaimers for consumers to keep in mind when using such a novelty product. 1) That such a "Insect Catch & Release Trap" for lack of a better fancy marketers product name. Is not a replacement to a full fledged fumigation if needed in a household. Especially if a health hazard is present with a full blown infestation of bugs. This is common sense, but you never know some people seem to lack such foresight. 2) That such a product will not protect a user from an insect bite. 3) *There are no guarantee's you can capture said land based or flying insect. (*However there is a higher probability of safely capturing and releasing an insect. With such a lab and field (household) tested consumer product than going it on your own. Instead of using mismatched implements as an improvised insect catch and release chamber trap. By risking your chances of inadvertently killing the insect by mistake.) 4) This product would only be suitable for small to medium sized insects that are land to aerial based. 5) For larger insects such as spiders or scorpions best to either leave them alone or call a pest control professional for assistance. Those are the 5 legal disclaimers I could envision that would limit some product liability when in use by consumers. In regards to marketing as an advertising campaign for this novelty product. Perhaps utilize an animation of how and where best to capture flying or land based insects using this product within the home. The televised, Internet, or print media utilized can be comical to lure in (pun intended) consumers as first time purchasers. Otherwise this unique solution as it was devised in a spirit of goodwill. To aid spiritual or secular pacifists that abhor taking a life, even if its that of a minuscule insect. In this light I Dedicate this Concept to "Nature Spirits". Be they considered as: Fairies, Ancestor Souls, Angels, or what have you in the grand scheme of abundant Life. As my own spirit guides as teachers have told me "Life is Life". *For those that seek to use alternative means to deter insects please read this article over at PETA (People for Ethical Treatment of Animals).
