"Jewels Of Truth" Statement: "Our Mortality Is A Reflection Of The Earth As We See It"

"Jewels of Truth" Statement: "Our Mortality Is A Reflection Of The Earth As We See It"

Hello All, Late into the night and perhaps into my own early morning period but here is the next "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement for the week. Its topic is on "Mortality" almost resembling an intimate conversation we may have with God one time or another. On why are we here now on Earth? You may see at least how I struggled with the inquiry with a bit of humor towards the end of the statement. May it speak to you on a spiritual level although it can transcend it into the human sphere of all of us. This statement is #1749 in the series written in late June of this year. Enjoy as always, go with God by whatever love you profess to him or her. ---------------------------------------- Mortality: 1749) Who am I but a reflection of the one true vision we have all come to know as God. We shimmer with grace for awhile then we fade back into the Earth as dust forever. A couple generations of time is all we have before we are forgotten once more as people. Akin to having never been born to begin with in truth. Our tribe we call humanity is so immense we can bring a planet to its knee's. This bodes a biblical event to occur to re-balance outcomes in favor of mother nature against humanities own self-loathing chaos. Only a handful of worthy successors are meant to be recorded in the limited annals of history. The rest of us are fodder to each our zeitgeist of the moment. If our family has heirs perhaps our names are recorded on a genealogical tree, but no more after that. Are we but a branch also of the tree of celestial life as well? Or merely a leaf thinking of itself a mighty branch in absence of any objections in thought. Why must we have difficulty to remember our divine splendor only to return with new found appreciation after a mortals lifetime? I seek immortality not of these senses, but of this consciousness which in faith is already assured. Described as the living soul of all persons or creatures unique in form. Than why do I complain as a living reflection of who's Image and Likeness I resemble in Spirit? I feel trapped by mortality not able to escape the confines of this incarnation at will. I yell for my jailor only to be greeted by an Angel of God. Are we the prisoner or the prison itself? No one seems the wiser lest the souls that have escaped by mortal death. Are we fools proclaiming the Glory of God to only realize we are God in the scope of this united Infinity? Why must we suffer in this form of paradise but to know what a mortals life is all about? Color me tickled pink, but the next time I'm curious in regards to mortality slap me straight instead dear God. I need not know to this intricate depth what it means only to be your seeming distant reflection. I rather seek to be your constant joy in every lifetime as the minor gods that we are in truth. The rest belongs to another fool to question the role of mortals in Creation. Release me from this Shadow of my greatest self as an essence of your love dear God. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

"Jewels of Truth" Statement: "Awaken to The Ancient One Once More"

Hello All, I hope the weather is hospitable where your at in the world at large. Here in south west Florida we're entering the rainy season with frequent thunderstorms. Since the State of Florida is the capital of lighting strikes across our country. Life may seem to occur with random thunder strikes into our personal lives. Often these strikes of nature itself clash with our goodwill and sense of well being. How we respond will not only heal the circumstance but in many ways define us as human beings. We can panic and throw up our hands by wailing woe is me! Or we can have a moment of grief privately and than wipe away the tears by carrying onward. Everyone lives their lives at their own pace, especially as it concerns your own personal lives. Forcing yourself to live by someone's own standards other than your own is begging for heartache if not misery. Today's "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement was written in late March of this year. On the topic to Awaken to your own divine potential. How such a union with God is compromised in a sentiment of a co-mingling of his supreme essence with that of our own. To live in faith in such an awakening where we can begin anew our immortal progress from our last reincarnation. This statement is #1693 in the series. Enjoy. --------------------------------- Awaken 1693)  My soul stirs for thee my dearest God(dess). I shall seek only your glory plainly so and not my own in living a well seasoned life. All of our souls stir for thee my God for we know not why? We are here to give witness before your supreme testimony of the marvels of Creation. We take our place alongside you in the manifested Heavens according to the needs our spiritual heritage calls for in truthful simplicity. Our essence takes form all around us in unity to your power oh God. We are not ready unless we choose to awaken from the script of our self induced mortal lives. Until then we languish recognizing our feeble gestures in becoming giants in our own lifetimes. We fail and we sometimes succeed only for a generation or two of a mortals birth. By our human conditional free will can we fathom our spiritual unconditional free will by your decree dear God(dess). As we stir as mortals in a life without complete expression of your glory. We cry out to the world for meaning and purpose to what is our truth alone. Not until we welcome by self-discovery within our young minds and hearts. Can we begin our generous eternal sojourn anew as immortal souls. To continue where we have left off in Heaven as spirits made in your likeness and beauty. We welcome this opportunity to love anew, to serve each other anew, to grow our well meaning being anew, and the greatest of these is to love you deeply our God in your majestic peace. We recall our beloved home is within your perfect essence wherever it resides in Creation. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Gun Ownership Regulation Concept: "Regulation of Gun Ownership by Law Enforcement"

Hello All, I do not own any personal firearms but as a tween I did go practice shooting with my father decades ago. I shot a variety of handguns and a couple of rifle models. Such as the: M1 rifle, 256 Caliber rifle, 256 Caliber pistol, 38 revolver, 357 Magnum, and a Walter PPK. So I have handled a firearm just its been decades ago. When mentioning gun ownership of personal firearms in America its almost asking for trouble. Entering the deep end of the swimming pool of controversy where as a polarized issue hardly no middle ground exists. Those abroad reading my blog will think Americans are ludicrous for having personal firearms. To a point I would agree with you although America was born out of a bloody revolution historically. Besides expanded its borders to the south in the 19th century in a war with Mexico as well. When such a responsibility of gun ownership gets enshrined into one's Federal Constitution as a Republic its there for keeps.

In such a mindset my concept for legislators and/or law enforcement who deal with such issues on a daily basis. Is to weigh into the moderate ground which only a foothold barely exists. I say keep your personal firearms but prove it that your responsible in using and maintaining them. Otherwise just saying so means a hill of beans in this society of bureaucracy and red tape. The "Regulation of Gun Ownership by Law Enforcement" is intended to be modeled after how Americans are certified by license to drive any sort of vehicle class on our thoroughfares. Meaning how driving a vehicle is a privilege in America versus gun ownership is a Constitutional right. Well if a privilege gets all sorts of competency testing and proof of vehicle maintenance. Than how much more should a Right in Gun Ownership should receive competency testing and proof of personal firearm maintenance? If its good enough for your car its good enough for your collection of firearms. Like they say guns don't kill people, well neither do cars kill people, but that shit still happens. When fatal accidents occur on the roads or someone pulls the trigger aiming in your general direction. For those who are my International readers yes it's an absurd phrase we sometimes use in America. That guns don't kill people, common sense speaks loudly otherwise. When being pulled over by police for a vehicular infraction such as: a wrongful turn during a red light, speeding past an intersection with traffic lights or stop signs, a broken or poorly lit tail light, excessive pollution out of a vehicle's exhaust, openly playing one's stereo music player obscenely high, DUI (Driving Under the Influence), and improper or missing license tags. These are various examples law enforcement have to deal with across America if not the world with countries with a robust system of the rule of law. During a routine traffic stop most police will ask the driver or passengers if a firearm is on board. If so, to only point where the weapon is located and not to reach for it themselves. Where the police officer asks the gun owner to display their permit to carry a firearm be it openly or concealed. Now I would like to list a 6 Point Infraction System similar to a point system for poor drivers in America. These are possible infractions for owners of personal firearms that mishandle their weapon out in public. Similar to the aforementioned traffic stop where if a weapon is present as declared by a driver or passenger. They can be screened by a police officer for the following potential infractions listed below. 1) Is the declared firearm be it a handgun or rifle in good visual maintenance? Removing the ammunition if loaded and possibly dismantling and reassembling the firearm by the police officer to inspect it for good maintenance practice. 2) When the firearm be it a handgun or rifle when handed over to the police officer by the gun owner for visual inspection. Is the firearm in its Safety Lock position? If not that's an infraction when its being carried or stored. 3) Does the firearm have the right type of ammunition for its caliber? How much ammunition is being carried overall? (There can be a quota on how much ammo is enough to being carried out in public) Is the ammunition regular use or of an illegal variant such as cop killer armor piercing rounds? 4) Does the firearm have a pre-existing round already cocked into the firing chamber? Be it a handgun or pump action shot gun that can be an infraction. Having a readied firearm is one thing, but having it ready for a pre-emptive strike is another. 5) Does the firearm have a scratched off serial number? If so in today's current laws this is an automatic forfeiture of the weapon in question. Besides a potential felony if the weapon was used in the commission of a crime when its tested at ballistics. 6) Is the firearm be it a handgun or rifle fully loaded or is it unloaded when handed to a police officer for a visual inspection? A) It could be required by law that all firearms carried by citizens must remain unloaded. If in jeopardy of self-defense a magazine clip handgun is easy enough to load. If not a replacement speed loader for a revolver handgun can be carried on a holster. If a gun owner quibbles about loading a weapon manually than perhaps they have no core competency in handling one. B) If an incident of a weapon being discharged at your residence or place of commercial business occurs. Such as a probable cause for law enforcement to arrive on such a locale in an emergency. Once an area is secured when firearms are discharged to check if the weapon was properly secured. Especially if a child gets a hold of a firearm and decides to play with it. Whether a fatality or not was caused that the weapon had a safety lock by a secure case and subsequently if it was properly maintained. American's have the full right to gun ownership and to carry it on their persons with a gun permit issued by the State. However no where does it state that the weapon must be fully loaded. Yes, have the proper ammunition on hand for a quick manual loading and reloading. Be it in self-defense, or in recreational activities such as at a gun range or hunting on a game reserve. Still an unloaded gun out in public is a safer gun until that is danger is encountered then load it. This comes to another requirement that all gun owners should pass a certification process that is part a written exam and a field testing at a sanctioned gun range. Just like passing a drivers license written exam and a drivers test in a test drive is required by law before a vehicle class license is issued. It should be no different that all New gun owners and those seeking to Renew their carrying permits. Will be required to pass a written exam and show core competency of handling a personal firearm. At a sanctioned gun range for certification to receive a permit.  If this is required by law to have the privilege to drive a vehicle in America. Then it should be a necessity for those that have the right to gun ownership. To display competency in handling and maintaining a personal firearm be it a handgun or rifle. That's plain enough. To argue otherwise is to promote another double standard in our laws if not society at large. I'm not against firearms for responsible citizens in America. I am against a trade lobby in America disguising itself as a citizens organization but all the while pushing the agenda of gun manufacturers. This concept will help ensure citizens know how to use their personal firearms for self-dense and for recreational purposes. That isn't a bad thing after all. Since right now its more a system of faith based on reputation than actual proof. Otherwise it's a crap shoot (pun intended) that gun toting citizens are responsible with their firearms or not.

Jewels of Truth Statement: "Kindness As The Very Smile of God"

Hello All, Today's solitary "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement lends itself to the poetic. Since my literary work for the most part relies on the imaginative flourishes to describe the ineffable. Thus it aids in the expression as to the point of view I'm attempting to convey in earnest. My topic for today is on Kindness the statement is short and sweet mirroring my early forays of my spiritual writings. This "Jewels of Truth" statement is in the series of #1714 written in the middle of last month in April. Please enjoy the intended content, which I hope helps you pause and reflect on the valuable spiritual powers. That is bestowed on us all in living a good life as spiritual beings yourselves. --------------------------------------- Kindess: 1714)  Kindness is a living grace from God on high. A glorious celestial light that shines brightest within our hearts when it is shared out of the goodness inherent to all of us. Only the "Holy Spirit" within us knows that in giving kindness brings in all manner of glad tidings. An elegant truth that becomes instantly embraced by the very sheer majestic "Spirit of God". We as the inheritors of paradise in Heaven become equal witnesses to the wonders of grace here on Earth. Be still and love truly again with kindness for this is the literal Smile of God Remembered. Amen. ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.

Jewels of Truth Statements & Favorite Quotes of the Month

Hello All, Welcome to this month's trio of "Jewels of Truth" statements which as my frequent readers you'll notice that I share them akin to bread crumbs. Two to start off the month each posted separately with a helping of this segment entry towards the end of the month. I started doing this since I felt sharing my excerpts of Volume 1 and 2 of the series in my books was a bit tedious. (Note: One can purchase these volumes at any online book retailer such as "Amazon or Barnes & Nobles". In paperback, e-book, kindle and nook formats.) Sorry for the shameless plug, but I had to go there since I barely ever mention them available for sale. This months trio of spiritual wisdom statements are on the topics of: Creation, Wisdom, and of People as a whole. In the series of #1039-1041. Meaning since around the year 1995 I have been writing as an inspirational passion by intuitive automatic writing of these statements. At first I didn't know what to call them since this wasn't formatted as chapters expected in a book. My love of proverbs and quotations in reading from others throughout history. Must've have triggered my Angels to help me channel their holy presence in my life in service to all. Who may be open to the spiritual wisdom statements no matter if they believe the source. Such as from a telepathic medium as myself channeling a host of Angels via automatic inspirational writing. Enough of my story. Please enjoy this month's topics and as always may you find them reflective for your own spiritual journey's in life. Thank you. -------------------------------------- Creation: 1039)  It has been stated that the souls of all Creation is the sum of the soul of God. This is metaphysically true however the collection of souls of those on this planet we call Earth. Is also the sum macro total of the very soul or essence of this Mother Earth. Our world is a macro living organism with its various dynamics that culminate into an intelligent phenomena or spiritual entity. Perhaps a god or goddess in his or her own right, maybe named Gaia or not. This world is alive not because of its endless individual parts. But in spite of them this world flourishes with or without humanity or any other individual species. One species does not make a planet nor a dominion over the substance of this sphere we call home. From the micro spirits we represent as individual entities up to the phenomenal children of God as macro spiritual entities. We are all equally worthy of this Divine love from and of God(dess). As worthy souls in treatment by relative degrees of respect according to our sheer presence and abilities. We can not in a right spiritual consciousness neglect our siblings in the Holy Spirit of God. To do so is irresponsible if not downright inhospitable as inheritors of this world and of the "Kingdom of God" on Earth and in Heaven. We as individual spiritual entities as mortal people do not trump the forces as the principalities and powers in reality. Which are the macro spiritual phenomenal siblings we share as our mutual holy family in Creation. Nor do these majestic siblings in the Holy Spirit of God as the principalities and powers trump us either. We are all One, their is no division nor subtraction there is just a sublime unity from our mortal carnal mammal minds that seems devoid of understanding. The paradox is truer we are in a rich soup of sharing the absolute presence of God. In conjunction with the totality of the heirs of the "Kingdom of God". Basically beyond humanity, it is narcissistic to believe we are the pinnacle of Creation as souls. Be mindful lest we share our stupidity and arrogance as a first impression when we encounter the elder mortals across this cosmos in an intermediate future.                                                              ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. Wisdom: 1040)  Those who keep good counsel will always grow from their personal experiences. Where their good fortune will spread like the wings of angels unto all those whom come in contact with such a person. A good adviser will glean the multitude of available paths to undertake. So that each option is weighed and considered because of the inherent motivations and consequences to be had. Be wary of soothsayers with selfish private agendas that will only lead to chaos and personal ruin over time. A betrayal from within is the most despicable enemy ever to be encountered. Always listen to your intuition not letting the charisma of a cherished person to override your personal good sense. Wise counselors make often the best choices out of a seemingly limited set of alternatives. A creative person will find that sound actionable advice that doesn't go out of style ever. Where it is never too late in pursuing such constructive counsel offered sincerely. Wisdom is often the path least taken in life, but how it makes the most difference when followed with conviction. A beneficial difference like no other for those that are willing and patient enough to listen and consider for themselves. Amen.                                     ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. People: 1041)  Surround yourself always with loving people if at all possible. These are the souls whom are selfless in character aiding you in liberating yourself from difficult surroundings. Salt of the Earth souls are nobodies fool. They shall tell you with a straight face what is what. However there are submissive personalities that sugar coat in a diplomatic stances difficulties. Such kindness is appreciated at first, but soon wears out due to those gentle folk seeking to avoid confrontation at all costs. Courage of those whom are quiet and yet will speak truth to power without fraying the respect of others is a god send. Kind hearts does not always mean weak spines in living with dignity. There are beautiful souls with gruff and ill mouthed exteriors that are often angels in disguise as beasts. Many are loyal beyond measure calling it as it is and appearing when called upon out of need. Creative people come often at a stark difference between the kind and the mean spirited. Be they an artist or not in life their personal ingenuity is often a marvel to behold. They create opportunities where none were just seconds prior in existence. Creative souls without flexibility are an easy hallmark for a tyrant in behavior. The opposite is also true those creative types open to flexibility are usually more often than not easy going in demeanor. When such a sub category of personalities are highly intuitive they also shift their behavior to match the presence of their peers. Much like an empathic chameleon able to change its colors so as to fit in out of habit or necessity. Lastly come the immature ones incapable of kindness due to an immense sense of fear. Fear displayed as hostility at others and themselves equally. A tempest without patience nor regard for fairness or anyone's cares they are always on a hare trigger. Bullies that if pushed back either cower or lash out where in either case only misery will follow them. The truly despicable are the charismatic ones where their true motives are layered deep under their disguise of subterfuge. Only after they have achieved their intended results all are discarded like disposable commodities. Many are the shades of personal character for better or for worse. Many a villain is capable of justice, just as a paragon of virtue is capable of crimes against humanity. We are all a fountain of chance depending on our set of circumstances in how we perceive ourselves and our environments. Truth reveals us all often getting to the core of our greatest joy or our deepest fear. How we live our lives is often a subconscious testament to both of these qualities simultaneously. Only with a faith in a greater power than ourselves can we often eclipse our former selves in behavior. May this be so for those of us who value benevolence over baser instincts as people whom are actually immortal spiritual souls. Amen.                                     ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo. ----------------------------------------------- The most beautiful people are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity, and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, and a deep loving concern.                                      ---Elisabeth Kubler-Ross. When you do things from your soul, you feel a river moving in you, a joy.                                                                                                                                                                                                ---Jalaluddin Rumi. In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.                                                                                                                                                                                                         ---Albert Camus.

"Jewels of Truth" Statement: "A Righteous Forgiveness Like No Other"

Hello All, It almost seemed I wasn't going to post this week, not so. The posting entries schedule usually works out more so for my International readers since I'm a night owl at heart. I work best in the late evening to early morning hours in my timezone which is EST (eastern standard time) here in Florida. Today's "Jewels of Truth" spiritual wisdom statement is numbered #1734 in the series written in late May of this year. It's on the topic of Forgiveness. A forgiveness that explains its intent somewhat better than in the Christian New Testament in the "Book of Luke" chapter 6 verse 27-29. Albeit I have 2 longhand pages to describe the sentiment in sheer practice. Right now I'm also struggling with forgiveness of self. I'm entering my middle age as a person and have become contemplative of some of my assorted issues of shame and guilt as a man. Self-Forgiveness offered up with compassion without personal recriminations is how to best serve it up to oneself. The rest belongs to the "Holy Spirit" within us all. With thankful tears of relief and a humble gratitude in living kindly so. So enjoy today's statement on Forgiveness and remember to love without conditions. Be it the essence of self-worth and of loving your neighbor as yourself. For the very essence of our souls is the Light of God as Love itself. To exchange love is to share God with all manner of life. ------------------------------- Forgiveness: 1734)  To turn the other cheek as it states in the holy "Book of Luke" chapter 6 verse 27-29 in the Christian New Testament. Does not mean to literally allow yourselves to be harmed in physical abuse from another person. This metaphor means to turn the other spiritual cheek with an atonement of forgiveness. To turn any harm done unto you or by you personally unto another person or creature. With the power of God's love acted through a sacred forgiveness. Never should a heart despair from want from the very relief of a well intentioned mercy known as forgiveness itself. As you offer mercy to another or compassion to your own being. Know full and well that you are acting in accord to the supreme "Will of God". As "Jesus the Christ" proclaims it is my "Father's Good Pleasure to Give You the Kingdom of God". (Luke 12:32) Means nothing more but to be of a heavenly nature on an unconditional basis. Do not begrudge your neighbor of his or her own good by withdrawing your willful forgiveness. Live in kindness as you do unto others it is done unto you according to your own personal standards. Pay no mind to your fellow brother or sister in their own bad behavior. Unless it stalls your own grace from developing in life. We can rescue only the closest ones within our reach and only by their own self-directed permission. To forgive doesn't mean to toss out the hard won lesson they taught you by means of your hardship. It means to surrender unconditionally the pain only to replace it with God's healing Love for You. That is all truly I say you who keep the "Word of God" in your heart and upon your faithful minds. Act with conviction in such a blessed truth and your love of life will always be complete. Be true with humility for this meekness with forgiveness affords you always a peace of mind. Yes, to forgive means to surrender your grievances no matter if you hold the high ground or not. It signifies a soul willing to change for the better in worship to God and the Holy Compassionate Truth. Amen.

                                                           ---Ivan Pozo-Illas / Atrayo.
