I've missed doing art so much.
I love putting little bits of my self into it.
it's always such a sacred thing for me.
it feels like praying, or leaving gifts at an altar.
I love seeing fragments of my potential.
I hope I can leave all my work as my legacy after I die.

Co-existence is vital and essential to respect the great mother Earth or we collectively pay the consequences. This month's "Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month" is in the series #1113-1115. For the topics of: Genius, Potential, and Living well for a lifetime. I also want to remind you to please subscribe to my new newsletter that's available in the right hand column of this blog site of Bloggers "Atrayo's Oracle". Or an alternate sign-up form on my website on my "Contact Page" at the middle of the web page. Thank you. May you find these angelic inspired spiritual wisdom statements of use and pleasing. Genius: 1113) Often times it takes a genius to find the genius in another person who may appear to being troubled or confused with their daily life. When such a case occurs the observing person must seek out what is obviously not being stated in an overt manner. Watching for tell-tale cues of the one in question being assessed to see what their spark of genius is in truth. Always seek out what brings them a talented joy in achieving from their efforts whatever it may be. As the observer gauges the other person in their surroundings nothing should prohibit such a person from achieving in life. Be it rank in title or in class within any society. Impart to them directly and to their custodians if the new found genius is a child. That their presence may be remarkable in the world, but countless before them have yet to be noticed much less discovered in what makes them beautiful in life. To always take genuine pride in their efforts, but never to the point of defeating themselves with a poor attitude. Since their life with other people and the world at large can easily misunderstand their intentions. Their gifts if applied well enough can serve many in places of power and authority, but may it never be at their expense in exploitation. Always ply your talents where it is needed the most for along life’s path there will be plenty of opportunities to grow personally and professionally in such a trade craft. Wherever the spark of genius may reside in the world it often takes a well-developed genius of another generation to ferret out their presence. To those that matter to them personally in their circle of people. Through discipline and much devotion in good faith such a new found genius can overcome near impossible feats to the ordinary person. Be humble for spiritually your power as a person is always directly influenced by the Glory of God whether you realize it or not. Live well and live fully for greatness can be adored and it can be feared as to how you behave in the world. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
Potential:
1114) I say to all dreamers as souls with convictions and to all lovers of what is true and beautiful. To dream deep in your hearts, but live very real with your feet on the ground of this Earth of ours. To dream deep in your hearts is not to compromise on less than your total best self. To live according to the tenets of the many worthy souls having gone before you as role models. Having always lived in practical steps that are civilized and good in just conduct in life all around us.
Anything less than the miracle of your grace of living from the heart. Anchored by the truth of your sensible mind leaves you as if a husk of emptiness. Do your duties, but always your deepest loyalty is to your spirit to etch out an existence in holistic wellness. Afterwards serve the needy with respects as to what you can give of your slice of good fortune. Give with your heart in gratitude to God(dess), but not to the point that it breaks your back and your wallet.
This world is still developing from generation to generation of humans and all others. There is much to be gained and much to be lost if one isn’t careful. Guard your dignity for very few loved ones will know what troubles you the deepest in life.
Be not convinced that you are alone in the world for this is untrue. Many dynamics of life repeat themselves universally across realities and so human development is no different in question. Be kind to your spirit berate it not for not achieving what your ego demands of it. Perhaps it is for a reason why you are not meant to reach such a desire. Consider the world not how it can serve you, but how you can alleviate the pain and suffering all around. Walk in life with confidence but not to the point you become an ass not worth respecting. This is finally the potential of every soul to experience God differently from the rest. So be unique and live with unconditional love in moderation so that the empathy created is shared with all whom see the divine in you. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
Living:
1115) All of our blessed lives are precious in the sight of God the Greatest Creator. No matter the difficulties we may encounter during the sojourn of our lives. We continually live through the Holy Spirit of God(dess) and it is for God(dess) to live through us all constantly. All of this and so much beyond our keenest minds encompasses the unconditional spiritual love accessible to every one of us.
To allow such a total absolute love to uplift our beings in life. In no such manner does this omit our sometimes fearful tendencies that can easily trap us into loathsome negativity. This is when one should empathize with their inner most spirit to alleviate fears of all kinds by genuinely offering oneself compassion. Do not venture to the point of handicapping your progress in this life that causes inaction of the things and people that most matter to you.
You are free now and always truly in every spiritual matter as the presence of God in you makes it so for your best holy self in spirit. Do not let slights or misjudgments cast your hopes and promises of goodwill for a better life to become shattered. Always be true first to yourself before all others in life. For when you lie to yourself it will be far easier to lie to everyone else around you as well. Live fully in the present awareness that towards yourself and those dearest to you as family and friends be adopted into the circle of your prosperity in spirit. Do seek out wholesome life experiences that creates for you and all concerned nearly the best memories possible in living a life worthy of praise back to the Glory of God. You owe this to yourself, your loved ones, and certainly too all the silent angels aiding you in life. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Everything has its beauty, but not everyone see's it. ---Confucius.
To love oneself is the beginning of a life, a long romance. ---Oscar Wilde.
Wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving. ---Kahil Gibran.
No matter where life takes you the place that you stand at any given moment is holy ground. Love hard, and love wide and love long and you will find the goodness in it. ---Susan Vreeland "Lisette's List"
You are defined by who you love, not who loves you. ---From The Movie Adaptation.
Genius is the ability to receive from the Universe. ---I Ching.
The Glory of God is a human being fully alive. ---St. Irenaeus.

I’m still highly upset that we never got to see Carl at his full potential
and he was fine as hell…the glow up that was happening before our eyes…😔 fuck them producers (fyi he is older than me)
Just thinking about all the shit we could’ve see. Carl do, all the moments he could’ve had with Judith, his baby brother RJ 😭
Carl following his fathers steps, having a fine, badass gorgeous black wife ugh a girl can dream 😔
(word on the street the reason why he was killed off was because he became an adult and obv wanted adult pay…mind you basically the whole cast were adults…)
Just don’t sit right with me
we really have no bad ass scenes of him just going off on humans or walkers (like Rick when he bit that man’s neck)
wasted potential I hate.
Potential.
Every dead soul was once a living organism. Plants, trees, animals and people in Soul Society were all once alive. Humans in particular were created in such a way that their potential spanned out before them, if only they had the courage and power to grasp it.
Upon death, a human soul can go one of two ways: locking away their rationality, decision-making capacity and ability to say no, stop, enough, for the gain of power, the retention of growth and evolution; or, excising their potential, their ability for growth and power and ability to become more in such a way that allows them to keep their mind and individual thoughts.
According to shinigami, who in many ways don't understand or even know the meaning of potential, this is the difference between a soul that passes on, or a soul that hollowfies.
The true difference in them, is that a "plus" soul or Shinigami has cut out and/or eroded away their power of progress, in a way that is subtle enough not to be noticed; but, in hindsight or from the viewpoint of a foreign intelligent being, is all too clear and unsettling. A Hollow, meanwhile, has changes that are so obvious as to mark them as an entirely different species, even though they aren't; they trade their higher minds - temporarily - to keep the ability to grow and change and evolve to greater strengths and appearances. And the stronger they get, the closer a resemblance they achieve to their original form: the human one. This, after all, is how Vasto Lorde are born, and they are frighteningly similar to humans in so many ways.
Of the two types of soul, Hollows are the ones who, in the end, have the opportunity to truly become "human" again - albeit, without a physical body.
Shinigami, meanwhile, are stuck; their souls find comfort, an equilibrium, and simply stop there. They have a set amount of power, conforming most often in a 100:1 ratio to what they had as humans (and even that only partially accessible without training), and no more than this. By cutting off their growth capacity, so they have limited themselves to remaining as a fraction or less of what they once were, or could have become.
When attempting to create a hybrid, a Vizard, the process was likened by Aizen to knocking down the barriers between Shinigami power and Hollow power. I, however, hold with a... mildly different hypothesis.
I suspect that Aizen may simply have returned to those Shinigami their own potential for growth.
Unfulfilled Potential
Once there was a man named Samuel who lived in a small town. From a young age, Samuel was driven by the fear of not reaching his full potential. He believed he was destined for greatness, but he was unsure of how to achieve it.
Throughout his life, Samuel tried his hand at various pursuits—painting, writing, entrepreneurship—but nothing seemed to stick. He would start with enthusiasm, only to abandon his projects when they didn't yield immediate success.
As the years passed, Samuel became increasingly consumed by his fear. He would lie awake at night, haunted by the thought of dying without leaving a mark on the world. Despite the urging of his friends and family to find contentment in the present moment, Samuel couldn't shake the feeling that he was meant for something more.
On a brisk autumn evening, as Samuel sat alone in his dimly lit study, a sense of despair washed over him. He realized that time was slipping away, and he had yet to make a significant impact on the world around him. In a moment of clarity, he understood that his fear of failure had held him back from truly pursuing his passions.
With a heavy heart, Samuel made a solemn vow to himself. He would no longer let fear dictate his actions. He would embrace every opportunity that came his way, no matter how daunting it seemed.
But fate had other plans. Just as Samuel was beginning to take his first steps toward fulfilling his potential, tragedy struck. In a cruel twist of fate, Samuel fell ill and passed away unexpectedly, leaving behind a life unfulfilled and dreams unrealized.
In the end, Samuel's story serves as a cautionary tale—a reminder that fear can be a powerful force, capable of robbing us of our dreams if we allow it to take hold. But it also serves as a reminder that it's never too late to pursue our passions and strive for greatness, no matter how elusive it may seem.
