My daily exercise routine

Daily(as of Dec 21, 2025) I do a very early morning intense 3 mile meditative run. Then every other day I do an intense 2 mile meditative walk quite a bit later in the morning. And on days I do not do the meditative walk, in late afternoon I use 2 heavy and a medium resistance bands(choked up) placed together on arms, and shoulders, and also use 2 ultra heavy resistance loop band together (I choke them up enough to make them as hard as I can handle) on legs, back, and biceps and stretch still slightly dislocated right arm along with other challenging stretching exercises.

I am very creative in use of resistance bands, so very difficult to easily explain. I also do brief meditative movement exercises at home periodically during the day to help deal with stress. I am really straining to work my muscles as hard as I can. Effort counts when it comes to improving the mind body spirit connection.

My runs and walks become more meditative when I focus hard on moving my arms and shoulders and on my breathing and try hard to quiet my mind by putting all my attention on this and my emotional state. The vigorous shoulder movement does get more blood to the brain.

I am 74 years old, but am extremely healthy physically and spiritually due to the intense physical spiritual training I do daily and the strict high fiber vegan diet I am on with lots of vitamin mineral supplements. Do get enough protein. Being extremely neurodivergent my diet had to be adjusted to fit my very unique dietary/nutritional needs, that took a lot of experimenting over my lifetime to perfect. Doing strength training on the same muscle daily is not recommended by physical training experts, but I have done this before and got away with it. I am extremely tuned into my body spiritually and know very well how much it can handle and when I need to take days off to prevent injury and heal.

Meditation is similar to other forms of exercise

Meditation is mostly a breathing exercise that can help one become stronger and more sensitive spiritually. Like any exercise one can become better at it and increase its degree of difficulty.

Meditation can be made more difficult. I developed very intense meditative walking and running techniques. It is hard to meditate when dealing with difficult emotions or situations, but that is when it can be the most effective. You can meditate on traumatic/toxic emotions from ones past and on anxiety about ones future. Meditation helps one handle the challenges of life so much better. But one has to have spiritual beliefs that helps one better cope with the reality that now exists in this world. The ability to focus with meditation on what one is dealing with right now is very important.

The latest physical spiritual meditative training program I now am doing in January 2024.

Disclaimer: Always start any new physical exercise program carefully and gradually get use to it and check with your medical doctor to make sure it is safe for you to do or do it at your own risk.

I do an intense 1 mile meditative breathing in with 2 steps and out with the next 2 . I go more upright when breathing in deeply and lean a little forward when breathing out when doing the slower of two phases I alternate. I alternate between a faster and slower phase rather quickly. When doing my faster running phase I lean forward a lot like avoiding a low tree limb, this leaning forward created more body tension to help me push myself harder. The faster phase should tire you out quite quickly, while the slower phase is like a recovery phase, but is still intense. I do this intense 1 mile meditative run daily. I also do a two mile meditative walk every other day which is done similar to the slower phase of my run, but while walking.

On the days I am not doing my meditative 2 mile walk, I do resistant band strength training using both a heavy and medium resistant band together to make it quite difficult. I use really intense breathing with the same type of focus as my running making it also meditative. I also do a type of spin movement type dance meditative movement periodically at home to protect my personal space.

Also move my arms vigorously focusing on pushing my shoulders up strongly while doing my running, walking and dance type meditative exercises which helps get more blood flow to the brain.

I have been training hard for an extremely long time. Training hard everyday is extremely difficult. At the beginning you have to have more recovery time until your body gets use to doing a new very difficult training program. You may require 3 days a week or less done very carefully at the beginning. Takes your time to so you can gradually build up and get use to more intensity and duration/distance. 1 mile can be extremely difficult when pushing yourself extremely hard. Longer distance with less intensity may be easier. Just be extremely careful and pay attention to how your body is feeling. Having good spiritual programming also helps one have better intuition so one can tune into one’s body and reality better. 

Emotions power the spiritual and the harder you push yourself, the more you will connect with your emotions. Pay attention to your emotions and try to adjust to handling more intense as you get stronger spiritually as a result of very challenging meditative exercises. You have to do this training program at your own physical and emotional risk. Take self responsibility for your own training.

Caution: Before you exercise warm up using a slower version of the exercise or some kind of safe movement exercise that gets the body’s engine going, but very safely. Then do some basic stretches. A squat type stretch and one side to side is useful. Always good to do research and see what may work best for you. When doing these intense meditative exercises, if you feel dizzy or have trouble with your balance, stop and gather yourself and do a comfortable walk until you regain your equilibrium. As you get better at it you will find squeezing your eyes close briefly while breathing out while concentrating on the challenging emotions you are feeling can help. You need to keep your focus strongly on your body and the emotions you are feeling when you do this run. If something is hurting you need to focus on it so as to prevent injury. If injury happen or is close to happening stop running immediately. Always try not to injure yourself. Body awareness is very important.

In the future I hope to start a new spiritual religion that can be of more help in coaching people directly in this physical spiritual meditative training and in helping people improve their spiritual programming. I have so many blog posts on this site that can help people improve on their spiritual programming so as to make it more reality based.

The Spiritual Heart of our Country was attacked!

We need to be able to protect our capitol building from being overrun! We we’re lucky not much destruction and death occurred. When 911 happened heroes died in a plane crash while preventing it from heading to the white house and causing more death and destruction. We need to be able to protect the vital interests of our country from those trying to do it harm. Also we need to protect the integrity of our elections. Also the internet and our media needs to better represent all sides of issues. If you do not like my balanced approach to this situation I am not the person to associate with!

We do need a lot of positive change in this country, but we need more spiritually evolved people in our country and government in order for this to happen. I am here on WordPress to present the new spiritual theories, the new more rational astrology system based on these theories, and the meditative exercise techniques that I have developed over a lifetime(69 years old) of extremely intense focus and effort. Being born neurologically different in mind and body enabled me to connect with the spiritual inadequacies of this world a lot more keenly through personal experience and through unique abilities.

EDIT: April 27, 2023

A one-sided portrayal of what happened on January 6th was presented by the biased dominant media and the Democrats who did a one-sided investigation of it. The whole truth of what really happened on Jan 6th still has not come out. The US government and predominant media tends to push a one-sided agenda and not value the truth very much. Right now the US empire is about to end as a result of its really bad policy decisions that has turned a huge part of the world against it.

Discrimination against the neurological different is systemic

The overly conforming one size fits all tendency which is part of science, medicine, psychology and traditional religion is really doing great harm to a lot of people that are really special in their abilities. I am very aware of this because I have been strongly discriminated against all of my life for being neurologically differently with my survival being continuously threatened by this type of discrimination and the spiritually rooted misunderstanding that supports it. I do not have a “disorder” as psychology would classify it as! I am very specialized in my focus due to my uniqueness which has made me a pioneer in the spiritual area. Most of my theories I have developed are not that complicated, but can not reach those who are not willing to grow further in their understanding due to having the very limiting and closed spiritual mindset that is so prevalent in this spiritually backwards world.

One can not overcome harmful discrimination without developing a higher level of understanding. Developing more understanding starts with having spiritual programming that enables one to make the effort to grow further in ones spiritual sensitivity and awareness. When you are as neurologically different as I am my survival and purpose requires that I develop really great spiritual understanding! I know my spiritual theories and techniques are really of great value, but I need people to at least look into them with an open mind and not just see me as a “nut” because I do not conform to the norm that so many people blindly accept!

The meditative training techniques I have developed have a lot of similarities to the repetitive coping devices neurologically different people tend to automatically use that psychology will consider a “disorder”. I do support “venting” of various types, since the frustration of being treated as a misfit by others with limited perspectives can create a need for unusual means to relieve the physical and emotional tension created. This venting is often seen by mental heath “expert” as a sign of a disorder. Neurologically different people have often been the geniuses that made great advances possible in our world. A lot of the “nerds” that dominate the top positions of power over the internet are neurologically different, but because they have fit in well enough often themselves are insensitive to those who are neurologically different that do not fit in so well. People who are “neurologically different” often are in denial of that fact, since a sigma comes with that classification. But some like me have no choice but to face this reality.

I have so many really great spiritual theories and training techniques here on this WordPress site. I developed a new astrology system also as a really great spiritual tuning device. The physical-spiritual connection is not something to ignore especially on the universal level. The spiritual is not science, but plays a very important role in how our universe operated just the same. Science becomes really limited when it discounts the value of the spiritual within the physical universe our spirits depend on for our existence.

The big Bang is an inadequate theory spiritually!

The big bang has credible scientists challenging it, but since mainstream science tends to ignore the spiritual they have gotten really arrogant and stuck in their ways similar to so many other so called experts in a spiritually backwards world! The spiritual underlies everything and is as eternal as the universe that grounds it also is. Mainstream science just is not grounded enough spiritually to come up with a realistic theory at this time.

I have an extremely intense and creative spiritual focus and am a spiritual pioneer. I am into empowering individual spirits, since I believe they are eternal and are capable of so much more provided they believe in the amazing potential they have. Having beliefs that limit our individual spiritual capabilities makes it very hard to evolve to a higher level spiritually. My really advanced and hard spiritual/meditative training and my theories that enable me to handle it, tuned me intuitively into the spiritual side of life and reality extremely well.

I am trying to improve on the spiritual theories/beliefs of the past. I respect the very challenging physical reality that we as individual spirits need to keep us grounded. I empower individual spirits with my spiritual theories, so I believe our advanced individual spirits are eternal and continuously reincarnate within the physical universe which is also eternal and exists to provide us with the challenging habitat we require as spirits to keep us healthy and evolving. We live in an age where we badly need to evolve further as individual spirits that play an extremely valuable role in this universe we now exist in.

The role the spiritual plays in surviving any crises including our present one

I have lived on the edge spiritually and physically my whole life! I have had crisis after crisis in my life as a result of being born differently abled neurologically with very specialized capabilities! Between crises I felt compelled to train for the next crisis so I would survive it! I am living on the edge in this current crises also! The spiritual plays a lot bigger role than most people believe  in helping one survive a crises and not be done in by it! I know this from personal experience!

Becoming  healthier is not easy and takes hard work to do so!  A healthier lifestyle takes spiritual will power to achieve!  One needs to work hard to eat healthier, exercise, and to improve one spiritual programming/theories so that one will be better able to do what it takes to  handle the really big challenges life can bring ones way!  I have read articles lately about how aerobic exercise with its positive affect on the heart and respiratory system helps people survive the coronavirus! The spirit can not be healthy if the body has a weak heart or lung problems! My meditative running deal with these important physical-spiritual problems so that one will survive better in a very challenging world with so many serious problems that will bring one crises after another if not better addressed! This survival type energy that good spiritual training can help create can help us better cope with and address these problems! I am a spiritual pioneer that has been forced to the sidelines in this world all of my life and this need to change and change very soon!

We are so backward spiritually on this planet and we are paying a heavy price because of this!

The disease of “Arrogance” is so strong during this Coronavirus crises!

Arrogance not only limits how well people can understand the complexity of others that are quite different from themselves but also limits how well they are able to understand the very complex and serious problems of our times!

I do understand the complexity of people who are “differently abled neurologically” extremely well due to my own direct experience with it being one myself! I am not autistic, but still with my visual memory limitations and limited finer motor skills I do definitely  fit into the category of neurologically different! Read my other blog posts to find out more about my uniqueness.   I saw a movie about the extremely challenging life of Temple Grandin the autistic person who is now a college professor and who designed more humane and efficient slaughter houses for cows after having spent quite a lot of time growing up around the cattle business and understanding animals in a way only a person autistic like her could!

With the corona virus crises happening, I am facing really extreme emotions due to what is happen around me and the part I must play in it! Emotions only I could handle because of the advance meditative techniques I developed and utilize along with the new and advanced astrology system I developed and also utilize to understand what is uniquely going on deep inside of me! My advanced spiritual theories that my astrology system is based on also play a role!

So many people tend to be so stuck in their ways and unable to make the effort to advance further spiritually in order to understand people that deal with a lot more complexity in their life by virtue of their “uniqueness” than they do! We live in a world full of arrogance which starts on the spiritual level and then creates polarization which negatively affects politics, science, and religion along with all the professionals that think they know a lot more than they actually do about the complexity of the reality we exist in!

The disease of arrogance is very present in this spiritually backward world and can be seen all over the internet and on facebook itself especially during the current crisis we are going through! I keep telling people the truth tends to be in the complicated middle and one needs to try to see things from many sides and angles and work hard to put all pieces of the puzzle of reality together as well as one is able!

Here is a link about Temple Grandin, her autism, and here struggle to be understood by a very insensitive world:

Dealing with the coronavirus crises!

I am differently abled neurologically and much function on a higher level physically, mentally and spiritually in order to survive in a world that tends to be hostile toward a person like me! I draw in spiritual energy from the outside when I do my meditative runs and need to do them! I stay really clear of others when I run! I do not use the bus to get to the grocery store and have no car! People can be very arrogant when they make posts on how people should behave during this crises! The rules that are in place should be followed along with using ones intuition to take what other steps one can reasonably do! This crises may seem like it will last forever, but it will eventually end!

Crises can challenge people to reach a higher level mentally and spiritually! People need to stop being so polarized and start seeing the world from a more reasonable perspective and try hard to understand the complexities involved in dealing with reality when it is at its most challenging! So many people have been sheltered too much from reality and its complexity that they are unable to see what merits exist in all sides of the issues involved! We live in a complex world where simplistic thinking is no longer good enough!

 

Connecting with reality involves facing ones own toxicity and the pain behind it!

This world is backward spiritually due to all the toxic spiritual/emotional energy that exists here within individuals and permeating out to the society they are part of! Everything has a degree of connectivity spiritually! Individuals can heal themselves from this toxic energy and become healthier physically and spiritually/emotionally! Our standard of what is healthy can improve a lot! People today tend tolerate lower standards in what constitutes a healthy relationship intimately/socially, as well as to what constitutes a healthy body! Toxic/abusive habits and behaviors are very prevalent in this world! Harmful and addictive drugs and refined foods that act like drugs are everywhere in the overly indulgent society we live in! Heathy habits involving exercise and meditation needs to be done more often and with focus on quality over quantity! It is not easy to get healthy physically and spiritually! Dealing well with pain helps one to tune into reality so much more strongly and develop the body awareness/intuition and spiritual strength to eat healthier food and do challenging exercises with a meditative part to them to help one push ones limits in becoming more healthy and functional in a very challenging world we are part of!

One can not get a better grip one reality or the truth that comes with it without dealing with the pain that comes with it! People on addictive drugs have to face a lot of pain in order to get off of them! People with delusions or addictive beliefs that tune them out from reality must face the toxicity within themselves that feeds their need to escape from facing this very challenging reality we exist in with all of the serious problems contained within it! Facing reality is not easy, but as we mature spiritually, we must face more of it head on and in a more rational, less delusional way! This world (type of reality) we exist in is not a joke to laugh at, and dream of ways to escape from! We need a mindset that does not desire to escape from the type of reality we all now exist in, rather than dreaming of some fantasy type reality that one can escape to in the future into some kind so called bliss like state of enlightenment or heavenly existence after death! We need to embrace the reality we exist in and become up to facing the intense challenges it has that can bring out the most in us spiritually!

Cycles are part of our reality and do not stop when we end one life cycle! We do not escape them, but we can learn from each cycle so the next one will be a better one! This cyclic part of our individual reality we not stop just because our body dies: The cycle of life and death and rebirth will continue! As one tunes in more spiritually, one will better sense this reality! People who do not do the hard work to become more tuned in spiritually will be pretty clueless as to how thing actually work in this challenging physical/spiritual reality we exist in! The spiritual component of our reality can not be ignored or misrepresented in some distorted fantasy type form without really toxic results happening within individuals and the world they exist in! Cycles of abuse need to be ended, so that we can live in a world that will be a really healthy and positive place to exist in! Hard work and pain comes facing reality more directly and thus being able to achieve a lot in a reality that provides us with so many challenges that we can become capable of handling by making the effort to bring out the best in ourselves.

I am a neurologically “differently abled” spiritual pioneer with my value to this world in this very specialized area I write about. My survival and value in this world has always depended on me pushing the edge of my capabilities in this only area I was good at! I have trained myself to handle extreme pain both emotional and physical extremely well! I have developed my own spiritual theories, meditative techniques, and astrology system(dealing with physical-spiritual connection). The truth scares people because it can trigger the toxic energy within people! Healing oneself so that one can reach a higher level of function physically and spiritually is not at all easy! I know this from personal experience! Great explorers often need to be able to deal with extreme pain and extremely challenging conditions that push them to the edge when it come to their survival! They often survive situations that others find really incredible! Amazing things can happen if one put forth the amazing focus and effort required despite the great odd involved! I identify with the great explorers of the past! I am a doer, and fear not being in the public spotlight and demonstrating through my personal spiritual energy what I have to offer to this world as the spiritual pioneer I definitely am!!!

I have so many posts on WordPress that go into my spiritual ideas and techniques!  Make the effort and explore them!!!
