Jewels Of Truth Statement: "On Success"

Jewels of Truth Statement: "On Success"

Success: Winning in life should not be dictated by the standards of a society, especially by others. Winning is a personal choice set by hopefully modest gains dictated by worthy goals that are achievable by an individual. And, winning must not come at an expense too great to pay. Lest one reaps hardships and regret along the way. By pursuing objectives that are punitive rather than complimentary in nature. Winning is a personal benchmark always to be valued, but not exalted above others. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. "Jewels of Truth: A Soul Odyssey Within", Volume 1 pg. 75

God(dess): Eternity speaks through us, with our loves and our turmoil's. This compels the evolution of the one we call God. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

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?

Jewels of Truth Statement: "Science Has No Room For The Boundless"

Hello All, I hope many of you are enjoying the Summer season albeit here in Florida where I reside its been soggy. Our annual tropical rainy season is in full swing presently, such as from late June into early September. Nonetheless today's solitary "Jewels of Truth" statement in the series of #1511 is on the topic of "Science". How the limits of science are encountered as a mode of thought in making our collective lives better. However at what cost and who pays is often undisclosed. Enjoy. -------------------------------------- 1511) The Universe is a paradox as it should not exist, and yet here we are as a self aware species. What we deem as a living conundrum is actually the expression of our feeble mortal minds. Having reached its present threshold of theoretical knowledge. Much like the famous futurist and science fiction writer of "Arthur C. Clarke" would say. Of which I'll paraphrase; "Of what is magic to a primitive people is a robust pool of science to another sophisticated society." Our species as humanity may truly be short lived before we can unlock the total knowledge or Mystery of this our physical universe. Albeit what a journey it has been by far through our accidental discoveries continually pushing the boundaries of Science. As Science is a practice it also becomes in the human psyche an ideology.  If not a mutually exclusive philosophy of its own standing. One to become defended like a zealot defends their own religious faith amongst their peers. The irony should not be lost on us as an atheist reflects on there own limited comprehension of their consciousness. Science is both an art form come alive within humanity just as much as it is a dynamic practical discipline. In pursuit of the elusive genie in order to put him back into his illustrious bottle. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "On Vigilance"

Vigilance: Those with a vigilant heart must always uphold the truth for the common good. Doing so permits transparency of the masses so as to govern with prudence and wise counsel. If the populace does not hold a government, a corporation, or any other institution in check. Than gross negligence, abuses of the system, or crimes will be committed without regard to safety, property, or the utmost general welfare for all that allows liberty to flourish. Vigilance must occur in tandem with those who are honest brokers for the justice of the many. Otherwise there will be no accountability for the abuses of high crimes done to the State or its own citizenry. Without vigilance there is no hope for the highest good of all that are concerned for the agenda of the many. Vigilance is the sentinel of the astute and the considerate. For a place where justice is the highest and fairest regard for all who are of the "Light of God". ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. "Jewels of Truth: The Wayfarer of the Soul", Volume 2 pg. 172

Jewels of Truth Statement: "On Souls"

Souls: Many have stated why are we born into corporeal form as physical beings? It is said for the purpose to grow and mature by acts of unconditional Love. As souls we are perfect due to the Image and Likeness of God(dess) within us. But as physical beings paradoxically we are flawed. It is for this purpose we are born to live and than eventually die to physical creation. This paradox of being a perfect soul and yet have a flawed physical corporeal body. Allows us as spirits to grow and mature for the common good of creation. The womb of creation allows all life be it physical or spiritual to flourish. Without such a physical realm of creation perfect souls would have very little to keep occupied with on behalf of God's grand majestic mystery. Amen.
