It was designed to handle both physical and emotional pain! I wanted to train myself to be able to handle any emotion no matter how intense! I have dealt with extreme pain without the use of medication, by meditating on it until I passed out and fell asleep! Healing requires connecting with the pain! This is true for both physical and emotional healing! My neurologically different body does not do well with medications or doctors! I tend to depend a lot on myself to keep me well and healthy! I eat foods geared to keep me healthy and my meditative and other exercises help also! They help physically and psychologically/spiritually! I am good at this because this is the one area I am good at and I am really good at it! My spiritual theories I use to program myself are designed to help me focus better on the intense challenges that this physical reality we exist in has so many of!

The extremely important physical-spiritual connection and my astrology system
The physical-spiritual connection is extremely important! Both my meditative walks and my astrology system help one to improve on this important spiritual connection to the physical reality we exist in! My meditative walks would not have developed without the help of my astrology system tuning me in better spiritually! My astrology system is not myth based like the traditional one was! Back when the ancient astrology system was developed they did not know galaxies existed! They just drew figures in the sky by connecting the dots(stars) so to speak to create the signs. I do not use signs in my astrology system!

This world needs a really rational spiritual pioneer like me!
Being “neurologically differently abled” with limited visual memory and resultant very basic type visualization skills, I am unable to tune into a lot of the mythology this planet is lock in to! A lot of this mythology I could not tune into is contained in the literary “classics” and in the religious/spiritual writings of the past. In order to survive I have had to make the most of the limited visual abilities I had! I had to aim these basic visual skills I had strongly into very rational spiritual beliefs(theories) which I had to develop since this spiritually backward world did not offer much of this! I am 68 years old, so it has been a very long process and very intense. Since my survival in this world depended on my spiritual skills, I could push myself like almost nobody else could and do this over a very long type with most of my support to survive in a hostile world coming from family and close friends!
Polarization which is so strong in our world and I believe springs from the “tribalism” that dominated our past. Our religions tend to have this type of tribalism and the ego inflating energy that comes with it! Most religions and spiritual organizations have this quality to them, along with science which tends to be dismissive of spiritual uniqueness! This “one size fits all” or “their size fits all” mentality really limits how deeply they can really tune into the challenging physical reality we all exist in right now! The spiritual underlies everything, and how well we tune into it will determine how capable we will be able to spiritually tune into this really challenging reality we exist in! Science (which has a dominant influence in this world) tends to even go into fields such as medicine and psychology that are strongly affected by spiritual/human individual differences is really being held back by how backward this world is spiritually! Intuition that enables one to really tune into the individual differences in ourselves and others tends to be ignored to quite a degree by science due to its overly rigid approach and it tendency to discount how strong a role the spiritual actually plays.
I was brought up in a home that had a focus on natural foods and had a healthy skepticism toward the Medical establishment! Being so unique neurologically, it was so important to my survival to use my intuition to figure out what was good/healthy for me! I did not take much in the way of pain killers or medications, but did take some vitamins and health foods. I learned to handle pain well as a result, which was important to my future survival in a world that is hostile to anyone as different as I am! I learned to use my intuition and was meditating before I knew what it was! I became familiar with alternative medicine, and alternative spiritual beliefs. I do not do well taking most drugs or medications because they tend to interfere with my ability to tune into the spiritual strongly enough to survive in a world that tends to destroy so many people that are “neurologically unique like I am! I have a healthy skepticism of where science is now at for good reason! I would not have survive(would be died early in my life), if I had not been really skeptical about how much the so called “experts” in our society really knew of value to me!
I also needed to be programmed with a lot more rational/effective spiritual theories that would enable me to handle a more heavy dose of reality than most people have to deal with! Traditional religions/spiritual beliefs just were not good enough for me with their focus on mythology at the expense of practicality and workability in the challenging world we exist in! How well we do spiritually in this world will determine how well we do spiritually in any future world! We should not be looking to eventually escape from the challenging world we exist in, but instead focus om mastering it. We live in a challenging and resistant physical world that can bring the most out of us spiritually! Any future existence will only be a continuation of the type of challenging/adventurous exitance we are now in. Cycles will keep happening within and beyond this life, which us hopefully learning valuable lessons with each cycle, so that the next cycle will be a better/healthier one! Toxic and abusive spiritual energy needs to be continuously and effectively dealt with! Healing and becoming healthier is an endless process! Our spiritual sensitivity(psychic/intuitive abilities)need to be continuously developed so as to help one do what it takes to stay healthy in a precarious world full of so many dangers that can readily endanger ones health and survival!
I do discriminate against religious/spiritual beliefs that would endanger my survival if I would embrace them! I have to avoid people who do not value what I have come up with spiritually through a lifetime of extreme effort in this area of exploration! Being so unique does limit who I can effectively relate to! We are strongly affected by who we relate to and need to relate closely only to those who are supportive of the value of what we do! We do have to relate to a lot of different types of people in this world, but we can be really careful where we invest our very precious spiritual energy into!
In a world so adversely impacted by harmful addictions of all kinds and the delusions that enable them! We need to become a lot more rational spiritually and start directing our desires toward healthier results. Addictive type beliefs from the past that really fail to effectively tune us in to the extremely challenging realty we exist in need to become a thing of the past. We can do so much better spiritually on this planet and thus do a lot better in all other areas needed to make this world a much better place to exist in! The serious problems/challenges of this world can be effectively dealt with, but first we have to advance in the spiritual area that underlies all aspects of the challenging physical world we all now exist in!

My spiritual theories and techniques are superior for good reason!!!
I am 68 years old and have survived despite living in a spiritually backward world that destroys people who are “neurologically differently abled” like me. The real test of ones spiritual beliefs/theories is how well they allow one to survive the most intense challenges that life has to offer! When a really severe crises hits them most people give up and die rather than do the really hard effort to find and do what it takes to survive spiritually! I have faced the challenge to survive continuously in my life, and had to do the hard spiritual work needed to enable my survival. This is a never ending process for me. I do not have escapist type beliefs that belittle the reality we exist in right now and that envision an escape from this type of reality after death!
My spiritual theories are just too advanced and challenging to most people on this Earth, that prefer childlike fantasy type beliefs based on mythology, rather than those that help them to get a better grip on the type of reality we exist in right NOW! Refusing to look into what a spiritual pioneer like me has come up with shows that one does not really desire to be able to survive when the goings get really rough! That one refuses to learn from someone who has learns personally how to deal with the roughest challenges this world has to offer. Most beliefs of the past are designed in a way to be addictive. No wonder why harmful addictions and excessive need for creature comforts are dominant in this spiritually backward world!
I am all over the internet as “astrogoodwin” but still not reaching enough of the right people to get my spiritual theories, techniques and new Astrology system out to the public! I can not do everything on my own and need the right people who are able to really value its merit to be reached! I am not competing with the myth based astrology system that is based on imaginary pictures drawn using the stars(connect the dots) in the sky! My astrology system is quite different than the traditional one that people have come so attached to, and my spiritual theories are also quite different, since they are so much more reality based than traditional spiritual/religious theories.
My spiritual training techniques are also designed to better connect one spiritually/emotionally to the type of challenging reality we live in! We can train to be able to handle the extreme pain and emotion that come with the challenges and resultant traumas of life and survive(heal from) conditions that may seem impossible or require a miracle to do so. New ideas often can bring miraculous results! I am taking on an awful lot, but have my whole life, so this is not new. I can not do this alone! I am a doer and like to be tested! I am not afraid to face the hostility that this world will direct toward someone like me, since I have faced this my entire life and designed my spiritual ideas to enable me to handle the strongest of emotions included hostile ones this world has to offer!!!

My very valuable spiritual ideas being denied access to public in spiritually backward world!!!
It is so hard to start a really advanced and reality based spiritual movement in a world in which most traditional spiritual/religious movements have basically piggybacked on past religious movements! Most of these spiritual/religious movements tend to be arrogant and to discount other equally effective spiritual/religious movements that exist at the same time as them! This underlying spiritual arrogance tends to make people polarized and not able to see the other side’s perspective. Polarized groups can not advance very far because this world is very complicated and solutions to problems require seeing all sides of an issue from serious sources including those that are outside the box. The would is pretty messed up right now with all the propaganda being spread by our educational system, our media, and the various powerful institutions/businesses that are strongly motivated by greed and tend to be supported by this autocratic type arrogance that has dominated this planet for a very long time.
The inflated ego people develop related to our educational institutions and the internet can often make it really hard for more advanced knowledge to be heard! The 2% that tends to dominate what knowledge is deemed of value and thus spread in this world is very hard to reach, since they tend to isolate themselves from really interacting with those outside of their exclusive group! If they really truly knew what they where doing they would recognize that a certain intensity and spiritual energy goes with more advanced knowledge so exposing themselves more to stuff truly outside the box from unexpected sources is nothing they should really fear. Unless they are afraid they will have their lives shaken up, and some of the excessive creature comforts they have may be threatened if they must transition to a more advance level intellectually and spiritually. The spiritual underlies everything and no advancement that can really make a great difference in this world can come without an equivalent advancement in the spiritual.
I have always found that people have been more open to the type of advance spiritual stuff I have come up with when they are facing a crisis in their life or trying to recover from a past crisis! During crises one often has to be open to new ideas, since you often have no choice! A neurologically differently abled person like me who has lived a life of constant crisis is the type that can become specialized enough to come up with something more advanced than anything that came before. Decades of intense effort (including a huge amount of trial and error) can bring amazing results!
Judging by current conditions in this world, a really serious crisis is bound to happen really soon! A crisis can often give one the option to either gain new insight or die! One can survive amazing challenges if one develops the spiritual strength and awareness needed to do so. We are not just instinct dominated advanced apes, but have the capacity to really develop to a lot more advanced state spiritually! We are not any where as limited as science tries to make us out to be! Science needs to recognize its limitations and align itself with those who are on the frontier of spiritual research! The problem as I see it, is that we first need to make some serious rational breakthroughs in the spiritual, that will make it stand out as worthy of partnering with science and all the fields associated with it!
My advanced meditative techniques, spiritual theories, and new non mythology based astrology system need to reach the right people and be tested as to their value. I am a doer, who is into results in the real world. I have stuff all over the internet, that is not yet reaching the type of people who can appreciate its value and spread it to a lot wider public! If only a relative few people have read what I have posted on the internet, then it can stay trapped and ignored! The internet just seems to be structured in a way that keeps some people from reaching much of an audience! I have so much information on the internet especially on facebook and WordPress! “astrogoodwin” is easy to google and find so much of my valuable spiritual stuff. I even have evolved as I have posted stuff; I have even battled other people with spiritual focuses an awful lot in internet groups in the past, so I am well aware of the other stuff out there that tends to have a lot of support in this spiritually backward world!

My dislocated shoulder self-rehabilatation and its role in developing my very advanced meditative techniques!!
Please do not attempt my meditative walking exercise without carefully reading my blog post (along with its disclaimer) that deals with this which has a link provided at the very end of this blog post!
I dislocated my arm while doing a meditative walk at night in a poorly lit area of Houston TX with a dog harassing me on Easter Eve 2018! My foot hit an elevated driveway that intercepted the sidewalk I was on and I fell to an even lower elevation on the other side and came to an absolute abrupt stop with all the shock being absorbed by my right arm and shoulder! The pain was extremely intense, but I managed to walk home and then figure out I needed to go to the VA Hospital! They did go to the effort to relocate the shoulder, and I thought they had fixed it. I went back to the VA later with a ride with someone else who was also in pain and with no parking available we gave up and went back home. The shoulder I found out later was still dislocated, so it may not have ever been relocated in a way that was secure or could have been secure. Anyway I was really careful and do not believe I did anything that would have re-dislocated my arm if it had any stability to it. I believe I had a lot more damage than just a simple dislocation! I did do a meditative slow run after one day off, since I needed to keep my fitness or my life’s work and purpose would have been severely set back. I had swelling in my arm near the right elbow and right foot and felt nausea for some time, so believe other damage to my body had created toxicity in my body. The exercise along with the elimination of salt from my diet, I think helped me get rid of the swelling.
I was not young(67 at time) so coming back from such a traumatic accident would not be easy especially for someone as neurologically differently abled as me. I must be extra healthy/fit to handle the pressure that is automatic and that affects my health and survival here in a world that is so spiritually insensitive to the needs of someone like me! I have always been fighting for my survival in this world and this could have been the last straw, had I not made the efforts I did to come back from this accident. I know the shoulder was not in the right position after leaving the VA Hospital because I could not move it so I could rest it on my chest so I would be able to sleep at night without severe discomfort! I did have to sleep sitting up for some time after the accident and I did not take pain killers except for a very short time after the accident, since I always felt it was important to feel pain and not numb it! I have dealt with a lot of pain in the past this way and had meditative techniques I used to handle it. I believe we can learn to handle and pain no matter how severe, since our own body creates it. I have previous blog posts on my self-rehab program. Here is my previous one: https://astrogoodwin.wordpress.com/2018/11/22/update-on-shoulder-dislocation-recovery-problem/
I did continue to rehab my shoulder especially after I found out when in Las Vegas that it was still dislocated and an operation was not a good option! I continued to stretch it many different ways with increasing intensity until it could take almost my whole weight with my arm holding on top of refrigerator. I worked up to exercising the right arm with a 20 lb dumbbell even exercising as high as it would go while guided by left arm for safety reasons. My right arm now is in some ways stronger than my left due to compensation and does not really hurt when pushed to its limits!!
I have trained my body’s muscles so now when doing my meditative exercises I can now jerk my shoulders(including my still partially dislocated right shoulder) upward with great intensity which does allow for more blood flow to the brain and helps create the side to side movement that enables me to do quick careful steps which I do in rhythm with my in and out intensely rapid breathing! The intense shoulder movement and the muscular development that come with it does help me increase the intensity of the exercise while helping my body safely handle the tension that is created by it! I tend to focus on 5 steps at a time, so I can really stay more in the moment and keep trying to put as much intensity in each of these periods of focused movement. Here is my blog post that goes further into the type of meditative exercises I developed and do: https://astrogoodwin.wordpress.com/2019/03/19/how-i-do-my-latest-meditative-run-and-walk/
My astrology system has Jupiter(individual fire)=action, the Sun(universal air)=thinking, The Galactic Center(universal water)=spirit-feeling, all connected to exact aspects to Moon(universal earth)=physical reality, with all these aspects being the last one to the Moon happening before birth. In meditative movement exercises one needs to combine intense action with up and down shoulder movement and quick short foot movement(fire)with intense rapid breathing with mouth movement(air), with a focus on ones feelings and intuition. These three elements must become grounded in the physical reality we exist in in order to make the meditation function well in the challenging world we live in, hence the connection of them to the Moon(universal earth) in my astrology system. The physical reality is what keeps us grounded and able to survive in a very challenging world. When we meditate we need to mobilize our serious survival(grounding) energy by putting an intense focus on doing very careful precise footwork. This precise footwork should mobilize your vigilant energy which should help you to quiet your mind more so that you can focus strongly on your surroundings similar to a cat doing its crouching movement while hunting. I combine my meditative walk with short sprints that I do whenever they help me avoid distractions or possible dangers! The Moon(universal earth) does connect to the Midheaven(personal water/spirit) which reaps the end result of this action in advancing ones spiritual development! One spiritual programming needs to advance with beliefs/theories that are better able to connect with this physical reality we exist in right now! This reality is very challenging and at time can challenge us with a lot of discomfort or pain. We have to have spiritual beliefs that put the focus very strongly on the type of challenging reality we exit in and away from anything that represents escaping from it. I have blog posts all about this on this site!

Encounter with Las Vegas Police during meditative walk!
I was doing my meditative walk with its intense quick shoulder movements, rapid breathing in rhythm with my quick movements and rapid foot movement! Between Main St. and Las Vegas Blvd on Charleston, a police officer drove past me and I thought he might be targeting me until he went past and went down a side street! Next another police officer came and pulled over next to me! I approached him and he said he was looking for someone who just had a fight with his girl friend, and I responded that I am doing a meditative walk and it was not me. He then said I matched the description including my blond hair! I said again it was not me! He asked for my ID and I gave it to him and said I was glad to be of help to him! He then wanted my phone # so I gave him my card and told him I had all sort of stuff on the internet about me he could find! Then about that time the other police car that passed me earlier appeared! I then thanked him and continued my walk! When you spend a lot of time meditating in the real world on the mean streets of Las Vegas, the possibility of being misidentified by police increases a lot. Also my meditative walk puts me in a very intense emotional/spiritual state that can easily be misinterpreted especially since I do a type of meditation I do. So that goes to show my intense meditative energy is not being completely ignored by this spiritually backward world!

My spiritual advanced theories and techniques and the legal system
Just finished Jury Duty, but never got to the point where they got to question me! Got lucky! A person differently abled person like me(with strong visual memory limitations and associated visualization limitations compensated with very enhanced psychic abilities))should never be forced to serve on a Jury! The questions I heard from the very back of the court room to the people in the front were not the type geared to helping me properly represent my situation and perspective! I felt like I did not at all belong there with the very limited mindset and spiritual vision of the world represented there!
They where asked in one of the questions whether they could sentence a person to life without parole! To me one could make really good recommendations for parole if spiritual experts applying my advanced techniques and theories where employed in the prison system doing rehab and continuous evaluations of the prisoners! I need all my spiritual stuff looked into and tested! But, it continues to be ignored by a world so locked into the past and the spiritual mindsets that come from it! I keep posting stuff on the internet and few people seem to be able to understand its immense value! I am 68 years old and have focus on the spiritual all of my life, and after near life experiences in 1992 which made me strongly aware of my spiritual limitations, went completely outside the box to try to develop a very different astrology system(physical-spiritual universal connection)and the spiritual theories and meditative techniques that would allow me to do this!
Nobody was doing what I was doing I am sure! Being differently abled neurologically was a benefit rather than disadvantageous when it came to my pioneering work in the spiritual! I really had little going for me outside of this extreme focus on the spiritual! Overcoming extreme adversity can lead to really amazing achievements. But, often ones has to be able to reach a few key people before your achievement can be recognized and made good use of in a world that really needs to advance a lot further in all areas of expertise, but especially in the spiritual area of expertise!
Here is my link to links of a lot of my spiritual stuff that is all over the internet:

Jury Duty in a spiritually backward world!
Have to deal with the Jury duty selection process today! Do they really want an outside the box spiritual pioneer and psychic with limited visual memory as a member of the Jury? I do not like the calloused way society tends to impose certain required duties on people!
I avoided being put at risk of being drafted(had lottery)into the military )by losing weight(went down to 109 lbs with empty stomach), but entered Navy later(when Vietnam had tapered down) under my own terms with a waver for my eyesight and weight(then around 130)! I understand our world is spiritually backward and since the spiritual underlies everything all our institutions will reflect that fact and that often people living in the present do not realize how backward they really are! When you look back in time it is easy too see how backward people were back then, but people in the present are often blinded by an overly arrogant sense that they know more than they actually do! .
I did a meditative walk around the Justice center in Las Vegas yesterday evening and a moat of benches surrounding the building were occupied by homeless people bedding down for the night! Our society is in such bad shape that homeless people are sleeping out side of a “Justice Center”!

I am one of a kind spiritual pioneer!
I am one of a kind, with no one really that close to the type of person I am!!! Why is that so!!! That is true because I was not only born neurologically differently abled, but I took what unique abilities I had and not only developed them due to the need to compensate for the abilities I lacked, but developed techniques and theories that enabled me to take my mind and spirit places no one would go or would have the courage and will to do so! Survival can motivate one to do amazing things and I was born into a world that made it extremely difficult for someone like me to survive and continue to survive.
I am 68 years old and at my spiritual peak right now! How I survived all these years of continuous intense struggle required miracle after miracle which only someone with a very extreme spiritual focus could bring about for themselves! I may be unbelievable to a lot of ordinary people or to most of the conforming masses in this world. But, being open to that which is extremely hard to understand is what is required in order to develop a new level of expertise in any important field of study!
We need to get the most out of what is unique in everyone of us in order to survive the really serious crises ahead of us on this planet. It all starts with the spiritual that underlies all of our reality! We all need to reprogram ourselves spiritually so that we can get a lot more out of ourselves! The inadequate and addictive spiritual programming of the past need to be replaced with more advanced and more rational and reality based spiritual programming! I have so much on the internet related to my very unique and advanced spiritual theories and meditative techniques I have developed! I also have information on the new astrology system I have also developed over decades of spiritual creativity and trial and error with all the knowledge we have now, that the ancients did not have! I need an awful lot of word of mouth to get my ideas to those who are able to value them! Here is my link to a lots of my valuable links on the internet:
