Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Hello All, As now that the holiday season is entering full swing at least here in the States. With the American Thanksgiving holiday only 2 weeks away and the shoppers black Friday at retailers upcoming. Most families in the modern day society are being caught up with keeping households afloat economically speaking. The reasons are various and very few of them are avoidable lest things become worse rather than better from negligence. So those of us in materialistic societies be it in the West or the burgeoning East should value people more than personal property. It's very easy for our human ego to mistake people as things by mistreating them. A slippery slope I hope no one is encountering right now. For people much like technology is making our lives further productive be that for better or for worse. Do not misplace your grace during these forthcoming holidays no matter your faith persuasion in the world. Today's trio of spiritual wisdom statements in the series are on the topics of: Truth, Oneness, and Realization. #1057-1059 Enjoy them as always and may you find them practical as they are meant to enlighten, if not challenge us. (*I'm also going to be on a family visit to my hometown in Miami, FL. Enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday and beyond for a couple of weeks. So I won't be able to update this blog site during that time. ) -------------------------------------------------------- Truth: 1057) With truth comes responsibility. A responsibility that is not to be taken lightly nor belittled in its scope of the encounter at hand. Truth is meant to be described, to heal entirely, and to set free what it shall convey in its subject matter in question. A half truth is a half lie and misleading by the intention of the speaker or the witness that repeats it to others. A truth is both subjective and objective in its natural outlook of what it shall entail. Responsibility comes on the heels of how the truth is handled and with whom it shall or should be shared with others. Withholding the truth can be an injustice depending on the reasons and justifications used. By keeping it hidden from those who need it or deserve to be with it in spirit. Suffering can only come from a truth that is mishandled by the subjective intent to manipulate others to your own unjust ends. Be careful not to become an accomplice to such an undoing of ill treatment of others. Over time it shall either numb your scruples or weigh so heavily on your heart you will need much healing to overcome in spirit. Move with the truth followed by your convictions in tandem use by what you behold as sacred in life. Be it as a philosophical or spiritual difference it is all one and the same beauty of the mind. As you live in truth you shall be blessed by your reputation as a person of renowned character. Nothing short of grace can be more endearing to any man, woman, or child in life as a principle. Amen.                                      ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Oneness: 1058) We are all one within the true "Spirit of God" within our hearts, minds, bodies, and in the care of all the souls in manifest and ethereal Creation. If we dare to separate ourselves from this ultimate truth in a secular fashion. We stand to lose out from being wholeheartedly connected to the glory of God(dess) in our lives. We cheat ourselves and for a time become miserable not becoming aware of the wonders all around us. A divinity that awaits this acceptance of such a sublime benediction releases us from this world. Be still and listen to your heart beating with the pulse of Life. That gives power to the stars and the heavens to shine so brightly. Do not just look to the sky for God, but indeed look within each others hearts and there you shall find your salvation. In this truth is the glory of God most assured in a united divinity that is both real and alive right now! Amen.                                                                                        ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Realization: 1059) For a true realization to occur in one's mind it must also be felt in your heart. A realization can't have one without the other from being involved as a matter of consequence. For an intellectual realization alone is only a partial connection. It must have its companion within the emotional in order to seize a full realization. Especially when it comes to a culmination of a splendid epiphany. To realize an idea, concept, or a truth one must see it within the mind's eye. In order to feel it in your heart afterwards and be able to mold it with a justified reason. Although a medley of realizations strung together like a chain can at times become confusing to the intellect and the emotional being. This is where patience must be sought after in earnest in order to meditate or contemplate upon the subject matter. All other thoughts become secondary until a revelation is shown by your sincere intent to learn and grow as a person without prejudice. A realization can be refreshing akin to an "Aha!" moment in its fullest delight. Or bury you further into more questions leading you elsewhere in thought. Enjoy your musings and be filled with wonder for each breakthrough affords you another encounter of self discovery.                                                       ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. ---------------------------------------------------- In the time of your life, live so that in that wondrous time you shall not add to the misery and sorrow of the world, but shall smile to the Infinite delight and mystery of it.                                                          ---William Saroyan. "The Time of Your Life" Although we have been made to believe that if we let go we will end up with nothing, life reveals just the opposite; that letting go is the real path to freedom. ---Sogyal Rinpoche.  "Glimpse After Glimpse" Everything that irritates us about others can lead us to an understanding of ourselves.                                                                      ---Carl Gustav Jung. It is a powerful practice to be generous when you are the one feeling in need.                                                        ---Allan Lokos. "Through the Flames" To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion... In a word, to let the spiritual, unhidden and unconscious, grow up through the common. This is to be my symphony. ---William Henry Channing.

"Jewels of Truth" Reading From: "A Soul Odyssey Within, Volume 1

Hello All, Today's reading from the published "Jewels of Truth" series is from Volume one on page 36. Regarding the topic of Innovators how they are the ones to make living more plausible by whatever industry they represent as a whole. As you may know I lump myself as one although I'm more in the amateur camp thus far. Nonetheless here at "Atrayo's Oracle" there are over 180 freely accessible conceptual innovations going back as far as July 2005. So enjoy today's topic, thank you.

http://atrayosoracle.blogspot.com/ ----------------------------------- Innovators: Imagineers as designers are the apex of Innovators they are the visionaries, futurists, and creators at large. Out performing others with creativity and able to offer solutions to execute on those ideas.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Hello All, It's that period of the month where I share another trio of "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statements. This month of October's statements is the series of #1054-1056. The topics are on: Vision, Character, and on Faith itself in a very general sense elements of our grace come alive. This October we often celebrate the once pagan holiday of "All Hollow's Eve" as the Autumn Equinox and the Winter Solstice otherwise known in Scottish Gaelic origins as "Samhain". In Western Christianity its respectfully two back to back holidays of "All Souls Day" on October 31st. and "All Saints Day" on November 1st of the year. Our grace is paramount not just on particular events in our pivotal lives, but throughout every waking and sleeping moment in our lifetimes as people. All of this harkens back to a time when the Holy was sought out on purpose. At least to remind us of our sacred origins spiritually as divine beings in union with the Creator God. So as I share today's spiritual wisdom statements try to envision the unity we all share beyond our humble national and cultural origins. Amen. Enjoy as always in the spirit of goodwill. ------------------------------------------------ Vision: 1054) Where there is a vision the people will come forward with convictions. Why will they come to such a place of trust upon those that will lead them onward for the sake of participation? The initial reasons will be myriad in practice and in philosophy to be sure. Mostly its for assurance to alleviate any misgivings if not to improve ones stature with incentives. The overall general direction dictates to a person if not an entire institution its promise to achieve accountable results. Whereby goals become objectives mapped out in order to reach milestones on a near realistic time table. As the desires of the leaders and the results are held in higher esteem than the workers or followers. Each ones passion may be astute as to the errors or down right screw ups when visions are laid down as ill prepared actions. There is never a guarantee when plans meet with unexpected consequences. Only the prepared and the nimble are the ones to excel in spite of dire challenges to be had in results. All communication must always be clear and concise as circumstances dictate. To avoid break downs and plain confusion all down the chain of command. Neglect of this causes misery if not inexcusable investments to be misspent if not lost in do turn. When a vision becomes a failure is when the planning is sub par or incompetent in nature as to the degree of the tasks involved. Any organization that becomes complacent seeking not the best outcome is doomed right outside the gate in the beginning. Seeking only to get by versus to fully succeed sets one up for mediocre results as the status quo is all but assured. This becomes a failure of leadership and thus the doubling of efforts in leveraged outcomes is paired downwards. This will inherently reveal weak spots in the structural guise of shared responsibilities of the duties involved. Where layer after layer of subsequent planning starts to unravel requiring much needed damage control. This is where morale of any the followers will begin to question every iota of required actions be they true or not. Such second guessing delays the spirit of the project much less the accomplishment of the tasks by persons dragging their feet instead. The superficial will give up and the die hard will be left holding the bag with atrocious turn over in labor and subsequent overrun costs of resources. Thus guard yourselves from such complacency at the very onset of every vision making sure you have trusted persons in key positions. To shake out any wrinkles much less disruptive malcontents to the morale of ones outfit. Keep an eye out for those that lack scruples by trumping those in their charge by their lust for greed and/or power by the influence it gives them. Otherwise the aforementioned debacles will flare up without a proper comprehension why its occurring in principle. Seek the promise of a robust vision with a well laid plans in a timely executed methodology. Where your forth coming days will indeed be brighter and prosperous. Due to your consideration of where you or your organization is headed in truth by mutual participation.                                                         ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Character: 1055) The first line of benevolence is courage and the last act of goodness is love. The greatest of these is followed by truth in all her endeavors in principle and in practice. Having strength over oneself and over others is indeed shallow if not filled with a righteous conviction in life. After "Pandora's Box" was opened what came forth spewed onto Creation all manner of disgust and torment. The last defense trapped as perhaps their prisoner was "Hope" herself. If one goes onward into extremes one will undoubtedly come across its other extreme camp on the opposite end. This life is a complete revolving circle perplexing even the gods as to its infinite depths of grace and horror to be experienced. Thus a remarkable faith lived in moderation sets one apart from the extremists spewing hatred and their vile judgements. Otherwise foolishness will seem reasonable albeit it soon becomes apparent that it is truly disastrous in nature. Those that follow fools may not come out of life unscathed by the misery to follow I tell you. Vigilance is the cousin to prudence in being aware of when to listen and when to speak and when to truly act in good faith. Awaken you that hold the chalice of wisdom to your minds and hearts only to pour forth the life of God into you. Yield to humility when practicing your strength lest you harm the intent of your desires. Live in a real fashion but do so with inner grace that soon becomes a blessing that hope becomes verily manifested before your very eyes. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Faith: 1056) All is possible within God because God lives in the realm of the eternal unlimited potentiality. Only through him can we give form to the Infinite through our needs and wants. If we indeed are sincere by such a practice of living then our actions will be blessed by being in accord with the "Will of God". Prayer is often the instrument to affect the greatest change within our spirits. Not to mold the ethers alone but to transcend our mortal limitations giving full credence to our shared divinity instead. Practicing a faith without benevolence makes the worshiper hollow even if one disagrees against the theology of another religion out of hand. Judge not a foreigners religion instead educate yourselves in all the holy and beautiful wisdom their sacred texts have discovered. Aside from the differences in dogma, traditions, and cultural celebrations in total. Be curious in fine details in order to empower your sense of becoming inclusive with the presence of God found in another people. God is majestic by orders of magnitude that dwarf our understanding. Be humble instead of persecuting foreigners of a different religion, spiritual practice, or philosophical tradition. Welcome them as your divine siblings in all that is hospitable in loving attitude. Even if you don't embrace their customs out of curiosity alone. Just accept their presence in life as God(dess) has accepted you as his or her own creation unconditionally in true love. Amen.                                                          ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. ------------------------------------------- Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude.                                                               ---1 Corinthians 13:4-5 Trust yourself; you know more than you think you do. ---Benjamin Spock. Anyone can find fault. It is the wise person who finds that which encourages another in the turmoils and strife's of the day. ---Edgar Cayce, Reading 1449-2 The same pain that can blemish our personality can act as a creative force, burnishing it into an object of delight. ---Pir Vilyat Inayat Khan.  "Alchemical Wisdom" Do not seek to follow in the footsteps of the wise. Seek what they sought.                                                                     ---Matsuo Basho. You have made me so rich, oh God, please let me share out your beauty with open hands.                                  ---Etty Hillesum.  "Letters from Westerbork" As servants of God, live as free people, yet do not use your freedom as a pretext for evil.                                                                       ---1 Peter 2:16

Jewels of Truth Statement: "A Heaven Like No Other"

Hello All, This month I seem to be hesitant in keeping up to date this blog site with my original spiritual works. Perhaps the bah humbug spirit has struck me, however since I'm not the type of person to put up a Christmas tree, at least not since my youth. Many of the holiday festivities seem to pass me by when at home. Nonetheless I always make it a habit to give thanks in both the small and the greater occurrences in my life. Irrespective of a formalized religious traditions I keep God with all my mind, heart, and most of my actions. Aside from this Holiday Season no matter the particular faith being celebrated. We are each stewards of the divine that we carry in our very souls. A divinity that has no bounds and overlaps into every sincere expression of our lives. One that binds us up together with God and whichever holy figure you choose to worship. Be it Savior, Saint, or Prophet all are welcome to be reflected upon equally in a deepening sense of a dear fulfillment of the spirit. Today's "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement was written earlier this month. Standing at #1882 in the series on the topic of Heaven. How my Angels within describe the paradise of the soul as I describe their views. Enjoy. ---------------------------------------------- Heaven: 1882) The afterlife no matter your religious persuasion in the world is a unique realm of immense glory filled possibilities. Not so much of the sheer amazing vista's perceived by every soul in heaven to be encountered. The array of heavenly lights as breathtaking as it is puts to shame all the combined art that has ever been created. No matter if it has been fashioned by every form of intelligent species within Creation itself. This splendor is natural beyond every contraption conceived and placed into any given form by the children of the cosmos. Many have depicted heaven as a place of many mansions each as its own wondrous resort in practice. This is yet still a crude interpretation of such a pristine celestial paradise. Instead picture a natural fauna of a living rainforest within a shaded canopy of a bio-diversity of living souls each with their own habitat. An Eden like no other where everyone flourishes together in a united harmony in witness to God's inner beauty. Every scenery is alive not with make believe Imagined surroundings, but in a living self-aware purpose that is magnificent. This intelligence becomes a living life breathing aura in a meta sense we call God(dess). This celestial light is molded to our every whim as souls within heaven. Like a clay made of ethereal stuff ushered forth by our willful thoughts in themselves or in concert with the combined thoughts of many. God, plays with us his children in heaven like any parent would with a toddler child. The play is both instructive and totally entertaining beyond any theme park could ever provide. Like children with over glazed eyes in amazement we listen as God speaks in melodic tones absorbed into our hearty souls. We are almost as in a magical trance of the senses where our questions come not at the end of his discourses, but all throughout. Such is the timeless nature of heaven allowing answers to all questions to come instantaneously. Akin to a telepathic neural connection in a commune like pupils arena. Newly arrived souls from Creation be it in the physical universe or elsewhere of such semi-lucent beings. Receive a nurturing orientation to recall themselves fully before total immersion in the drunk tank of (im)mortal life. Once such an assimilation is complete often referred to as the "Hour of Judgment" by the multitude of mortal faiths. This serves the purpose of gleaning an infinite constructive impact by a compassionate truth for the betterment of every entity in heaven. For those unfortunate to descend into hell see this very same practice as a raping to be tortured by the denizens of such a perdition. Twisting the truth into a warped abomination to heckle and punish its recent inhabitants. However in Heaven all is meant for enlightenment so as to understand from all perspectives. For every life you've directly or indirectly have touched as a person not to sit in judgment of you but to set you free by grace. Your soul always continues to live spiritually to what it had done prior to your mortal incarnation. Regarding your eternal interests and joys as angelic like beings by every pursuit Imaginable. Amen.                                                ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Student Loans Industry Prediction / Commentary : "The Looming Student Loan Crisis"

Hello All, It's that time of the month I usually share a "Gem of Opportunity" for you to reflect upon. However this time its not I plying an innovative conceptual design for you to mull over. I have in past years offered up predictions surrounding: future inventions regarding dental hygiene, hidden American Naval Installations, the distant future healthcare industry in America, including the Great Generation 2.0 of Americans who are now children living in poverty in the shadow of this "Great Recession". Today I stick my neck out once more hoping to God I've misread the signs and have misinterpreted my intuition. I rather be gladly wrong than get this prediction correct regarding America's Next Financial Crisis. Our next American recession will be surrounding the Student Loans financial industry. Which is now underwritten by $1 Trillion dollars by the Federal Government and climbing for the stratosphere. The last estimated figure heard in the news here in the States a couple of weeks ago. Was data from October 2011 placing America at $1.2 Trillion Dollars. One trillion dollars underwritten by the Federal government via the private lending institutions (ie banks). The other couple hundred million dollars as unsecured private financing which is: personal lines of credit, HELOC (Home Equity Lines of Credit) loans, 529 State Funding Plans, retirement account loans, etc... Here's an article from the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) in the Federal Government set up during the 1st term of the Obama Administration. The article is dated from last year in July 17th, 2013. Student Debt Swells, Federal Loans Now Top A Trillion Dollars (Link) I've lived about 40 years on planet Earth here in America so far. In my human experience nearly every decade of my mortal existence there has been a recession led by greed, negligence, incompetence, and plain ugly corruption. In the 1970's it was the 1973 Oil Crisis and the 1973 / 1974 Stock Market Crash, in the late 1980's the "Savings and Loans Crisis", the late 1990's and early 2000's it was the Dot Com Boom and subsequent Bust, and in the last quarter of 2007 the "Great Recession". I'm a Generation X by birth here in America, as they say X marks the spot. :o) Americans enter into selective amnesia every decade acting like innocent lambs when an economic crisis of our collective making occurs. When we are the hardcore bogeymen of the world as the only super power until that is the Chinese catch up. Below is a pictorial Image courtesy of "The Wall Street Journal" showcasing 2012 values of the types of student loans.

Right now I foresee 4 Types of Asset Bubbles confronting Americans today in late 2014. First, the aforementioned $1.2 Trillion dollars of Student Loans from numbers of October 2011 (as the latest data sets). Second, Tech Firm valuations during M&A (Merger and Acquisitions) activity when technological firms merge. The most famous recently was when "Mr. Marc Zuckerburg" of Facebook paid for "WhatsApp" at the $16 Billion price tag. It started the reincarnation of the Dot Com asset bubble paying on future hyped performance commercially for something that may or may not ever happen. Other tech firms have followed suit in Facebook's example and that is a dangerous trend indeed. Third, auto sub-prime loans much like what started the housing crisis of the "Great Recession". More sub-prime loans for automobile paper is on the rise, didn't we learn our lesson already? Finally the fourth asset bubble I foresee is that of Sports League Team Owners looking for municipal bond tax payers. To go onto a bloody meat hook so they can build themselves a shiny brand new stadium. Cities like Tampa, Florida are still paying off the last stadium and don't have the stomach hearing about a new stadium. These Team Owners of whatever sports league can do the financing themselves they're just looking for State / Local government welfare handouts. Our Federal Congress of legislators have done patch work reforms to lower interest rates for Student Loans. Such as the "Bipartisan Student Loan Certainty Act of 2013" tying it to the 10 year Treasury Note for the life of each individual loan. (Source: Aug. 1st, 2013 U. S. News & World Report) (Link) President Obama also took Executive Action with the "Pay As You Earn" existing Federal student loan program. By expanding it to cap at 10% of a student's income which after 20 years time with the loan a portion can be forgiven. (Source: The Chronicle.com June 9th, 2014) (Link) I still personally suspect this may vent some of the steam from this pressure cooker, but not enough. It may be too little, too late. I'm no professional in the financial industry, however take it as face value from a spiritual intuitive aka an "Oracle Imagineer". This is a prediction that in 2 to 3 years time we're over due for our next American economic recession. Remember every decade of life I've had on this Earth there's been an economic meltdown in America. Our last one was 7 Years Ago in the last quarter of 2007 for the "Great Recession". We're due for our pound of flesh to be paid by the aforementioned criteria of human: negligence, incompetence, greed, and corruption. Speaking of corruption regarding the student loans industry the CFPB (Consumer Financial Protection Bureau) I mentioned above. Seeks $500 Million dollars from a law suit against "Corinthian Colleges,Inc." It's a for-profit college that services 74,000 students with private loans with fraud in overly expensive tuition rates, advertising bogus job prospects and career services at graduation, and illegal debt collection practices to strong arm students. (Source CFPB Sept. 16th, 2014) (Link) Right now we're swimming in the wild wild west of for-profit colleges and universities be they online only or otherwise. Playing with students fast and loose with their higher education career needs. Not until the financial tide goes back to sea. Will we notice all the naked swimmers as predators and criminals preying on unsuspecting students. Just like when the credit industry dried up during the "Great Recession" crooks like Mr. Bernie Madoff were discovered with their fraudulent schemes. This is a partial chain of events I foresee as happening when the "Student Loan Crisis Strikes" in 2 to 3 years time. Remember the last "Great Recession" happened during the last year of the Bush Administration in America. The "Student Loan Crisis" may very well begin during the last year of Obama's Administration. An eerie trend n'cest pas? First, the student loan default rates will begin to climb month after month due to excessive interest rates on the loans. Indicators will be from the major banks and lenders servicing students such as: Sallie Mae, Citi Student Loans, Wells Fargo Education Financial Services, Bank of America, and JP Morgan Chase. To name a few. Whereby many colleges and universities will begin climbing on tuition rates nationally across America. The first line of victims will be the for-profit colleges & universities online enterprises followed by their bricks and mortars brethren having their stock market prices plummet. Next the 529 State Plans used as funding sources will deplete ahead of time due to changes in tuition rates in most funding plans. Colleges and University campus will start to trim the low performing baccalaureate programs from their curriculum. Next non-essential staff and unfilled vacancies will be trimmed from the school budget. School Maintenance budgets will also see their planned dollars cut drastically. However that is only triage before the patient of higher learning in American begins to really hemorrhage as a patient. After the for-profit educational entities bite the bullet next comes public state colleges and universities to follow. Satellite campus locations will start to see their hours of operation shortened until they're furloughed completely. Forcing undergraduate and graduate students to commute to the main campus instead. When this damage control ceases to work for campuses then the core undergraduate or graduate programs will be curtailed as offerings. Delaying graduation dates for students that's if the next semester inflated tuition rates doesn't do them in eventually. University and College student body marches and protests will start to be televised on the news wire across the country. Those students fortunate to have parents in America's top 10% as the multi millionaires will go unaffected by all this turmoil. Otherwise non Ivy League endowment giving will start to see a noticeable drop from philanthropists. Value added supply chain corporations that rely on Universities will start to see diminished orders or non-renewals of their contracts. (ie Text Book makers, Sub-contracted labor on campuses, other logistical services) Savvy American students will start to consider International English speaking countries such as: Great Britain, the Caribbean nations, Australia, South Africa, Canada, and New Zealand. As alternative destinations for their higher education scholastic needs. This begs the question if American Universities abroad start to feel the pinch as well in funding of their operations? Will the Student Loan Crisis as a financial lending contagion spread to Europe, Asia, or elsewhere internationally? Certainly niche as smaller traditional woman colleges and those servicing Afro-Americans will also see a harsh impact to their campus with any offered curriculum. We won't know 2014's actual Student Loan numbers until October 2017. By that time is when I foresee this crisis beginning the point of no return. Until that is the Federal government steps in like they did in 2008 with the "Great Recession". Bailing out the banks and other assorted money student loan lenders like "Sallie Mae". Not until another round of a fire sale of some lending institutions brokered by the Federal government in part being sold off before a full bankruptcy. America will only learn years after the fact the ugliness that reared its head just as we're pulling out from our lost decade from 2007. The U.S. government as the chief underwriter may force banks to slash most to all interest rates just to collect the principle loan amounts as payment scheme installments. Since "The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act of 2005" written by special interest groups for legislators that sold out Americans. Whereby all qualified education loans regardless of whether a nonprofit institution was involved in issuing the student loans. Can Not Be Forgiven this includes even Social Security beneficiaries as senior citizens or the disabled getting their government welfare checks garnished. (Source: NY Times, Sept. 12th, 2014) (Link) The Federal Government will be staring down if Usury rates andfees can even be collected. Making it sound more like a form of "Sharia Compliant Finance" operation as conducted by many Muslim nations abroad. Wikipedia: "Usury" Definition (Link) Dare I say "Brace for Impact for the Pigs are Flying"! It's only a matter of time in my opinion and not a matter of "If" that will whip lash America with our next recession. My money or suspicion is it'll be with the "Student Loan Crisis". Again allow me to reiterate this is my intuition firing off since I personally foresaw the "Great Recession" one full year before it happened. I didn't know squat about the derivative lending global market which led to the housing mortgage crisis. I simply called them "Voo Doo Mortgages" not knowing any better from my own ignorance of the total dynamics at play. Now time will tell in 2 to 3 years time if I was on the mark as X marks the spot. (Generation X'er here) Or if I'm completely an ass talking up my back side regardless of these obvious meta concerns I'm intimidated by in principle by my convictions.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "Perfection Is Purely Spiritual And Excellence Is For Mortals Alone"

Hello All, I'm squeezing in my end of the year blog posts to sync up with my monthly routine for my readers here at "Atrayo's Oracle". Typically two "Jewels of Truth" statements from my recent material and the trio of my older works. With at least one monthly "Gem of Opportunity" of an innovative conceptual design offered up as a solution for society as a whole. That's the format I've been trying to follow for the last year or so here on this blog site. Cross-posting my material here at Google's Blogger to my other incarnations of "Atrayo's Oracle". Be it Tumblr, Beliefnet, Temple Illuminatus, Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, and sometimes Linkedin. I try to cultivate a readership within various sources of social media on the cheap. Thankfully its worked for my web analytic tool highlights readers Internationally. The hits may be modest in the low thousands, however I'm grateful for every sincere set of eyeballs. No matter if this is your first time here or if your a regular reader across any of my several venues. Tonight's "Jewels of Truth" statement is on the topic of Perfection. Which is very apropos due to the holiday craze at least here in some Western and certain Asian Eastern societies. Do remember chasing for perfection for people is a fallacy, much like a dog chasing its tail. Better yet pursue a sincere moderated action of excellence instead. You'll remain closer to sanity and hopefully avoiding the pitfalls of the ego to jump off the cliff's of despair. Enjoy your holidays no matter your religious faith with yourself and your Creator first. Followed rightfully so by your dear family and friends in this life. As the Lady "Suze Orman" likes to state; "People First, then Things and then Money". Happy Holidays. ------------------------------------------------------- Perfection: 1885) All perfection begins within from the spiritual vantage point alone. For all Earthly matters are prone to errors of all varieties and scales of wrong doing. Only excellence can be achieved amongst mortal people in every endeavor as an outlet for a truthful success. Perfection is a spiritual power as a self-directed motion afforded to all from the "Spirit of God" alone. To be perfect one must be pure of heart and of mind in solidarity with the divine in every manifestation. Short of this perfection becomes an ideal to reach for although falling short each time. Life may seem ruled by chaos when observing worldly events. Yet within all sets of dynamics there is a paradox of order at work. Every system from the minuscule to the gigantic observes such a tenacity as a sublime truth. To proclaim only chaos as the only reality is to only speak a half-truth in conjecture. Every witness can only find perfection in the meta whole watching from a comfortable distance. Up close we miss the whole movement and begin to make unconscious assumptions in isolation of the required parts in motion. We miss the entire scale of the order of being often paying only heed to a narrow spectrum of the selective truth we adhere to overall. Judging a thing a flaw when indeed it is excellent is more an error of discernment. When one sabotages the efficiency of the whole mechanism in play. Be mindful of the varied consequences when living your lives in conjunction with others. This will forestall the good you seek and of your neighbors goodness as well. Still do take actions when it is warranted for inaction is the death of many in spirit. Be not afraid to move out of instinct or out of choice when you will surely benefit from such a course of action. Otherwise you may very well become the walking dead as mindless or worse heartless people. Just so you can get by life without any trouble at all. This spells ruin in more ways than I can say of the human condition and of the living soul. Perfection is pure Spirit and excellence is purely secular in nature. Amen.                                        ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
