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!

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 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!

The medical field does not value the spiritual enough in this spiritually backward world!
Tuning into past physical and emotional trauma is not easy and is required in order to get really healthy! So often science/medicine is not aware enough of the importance of spiritual awareness to healing oneself! So much brainwashing is done by a medical industry that tends to discount the value of emotional/spiritual awareness when it comes to healing! We live in a spiritually backward world and this is reflected in all areas of our life including the fields of psychology and medicine! We will do so much better in all aspects of life on this planet when we advance further in the spiritually and leave the one size fits all locked in spiritual mentality that dominates the religious and spiritual institutions and mindset of our times! The spiritual underlies every thing and any limitations we have in our capabilities in this area can really limits how advanced we can become in our expertise in any other subject or field of study! The stronger ones becomes spiritually the more one can become aware of and handle that which is painful or challenging to handle in this world! Spiritual expertise come with mastering the emotional side of life and all the discomfort and pain that comes with handling it well!!!!

Science has strong limitations when dealing with humans&spiritual!
Science does well with mechanical things and chemical reactions, where the same results can be gotten repetitively! BUT, when it come to medicine and psychology that deal with human/spiritual factors, science has strong limitations! They do not get the same accuracy in their studies when dealing with humans. Does not work in a lot of cases in their studies even though they get enough in results to make them see the results as valid! Humans are not all the same, so the one size fits all approach toward them has strong limitations. A lot of humans are very similar and do conform an awful lot to each other. So science can do quite well with these conforming masses. But, when it comes to those who are more complicated and advanced spiritually, science does not do well dealing with them. Wholistic medicine with its intuitive individualized approach just works better for a lot of people. Advanced spiritual theories and techniques also can help some people do better with their spiritual/mental health/wellbeing! The spiritual can not be ignored! Individual differences can not be ignored! We can not ignore science, but we can not put it too high on a pedestal!

Reincarnation and ones grip on reality
Reincarnation of the right kind just makes one not escape the cycle of reality so one is forced to improve oneself spiritually and keep making ones next cycle a better one. Cycles happen within this life and naturally should continue beyond this life, Simplistic afterlife scenarios that represent an escape from the type of reality we now exist in just are just not good enough! One needs to do some really deep thinking not distorted by the impact of unhealed past traumas in order to see spiritual reality more clearly! Reality takes really hard work spiritually to get a strong grip on! Hard meditative movement exercise along with a healthy diet and avoidance of harmful drugs or indulgences can help one to see spiritual reality more clearly! Contributing in a positive way to the challenging reality around you is important to having a strong purpose helping to support ones wellbeing!

The right people need to be reached by my advanced spiritual theories
My really advanced spiritual stuff still sits on the internet and is still very much ignore as to its true value to the world. I am neurologically different which makes me extra capable in the spiritual. But people are so backward spiritually on this planet and stuck in(addicted to) their primitive beliefs that they are very insensitive to those who have very unique and specialized abilities. People see me as unbelievable since they are not open to anything truly innovative in the spiritual area. The media is more interested in encouraging simplistic, often divisive, and polarizing ideas and propaganda than doing real research into finding real solutions to the serious problems in this world! The internet does tend to make it hard for new ideas to reach those who have power and influence in this country and world. They are so stuck in a certain mindset that limits how much they are able to understand or see the value in them.
Our world and country(USA) is so heavily into addictions to drugs/medications, to unhealthy food(bad nutrition), expensive possessions, power from accumulating wealth, and locked in beliefs, that seeing the value in really advanced spiritual theories and techniques is way too much for them to handle. Addictions make reality harder to tune into and practical spiritual theories that help one to better connect with reality to difficult to cope with and handle! I have so much on word press and facebook related to my spiritual theories, meditative techniques, and a new astrology system that came from all my efforts over a lifetime of extreme and practical spiritual focus. geared to make a difference in a world I know personally how messed up and insensitive it is spiritually! I have so much stuff available on the internet under astrogoodwin! Here is a link that can be helpful! My spiritual theories have evolved/improved over time and will continue to do so!

The main reason we all need to advance a lot further spiritually
Our overindulgence in things that harm our health and wellbeing on this planet is really adding to the serious problems that exist on this spiritually backward planet. We must advance further spiritually so that we will develop the will power and desire to do things that will help us to become really healthy and thus better contribute to the health of the planet we exist on! When we abuse ourselves health wise, we will also automatically abuse others through our spiritual incompetence! We need to become more competent spiritually by improving our spiritual programming/theories and training techniques. We need to make being healthy a much higher priority! We are not just instinctual beings as science often like to limit us to by devaluing the spiritual! Religions that lock people into certain beliefs systems really limits their followers the ability to improve the spiritual theories that program them! Science and technology has really advanced and changed our world recent history, spiritually we need to make similar advancement! I have so many blogs(over 200 found below this one)on wordpress that address this area that it would be good for people to take the time to skim through them!

Handling your energy well spiritually
Channel your energy strongly into something of real value to you! If you burn out, then rest and recover. Effective meditative techniques help one to do this! Depression can result when one can not handle the low energy emotional/spiritual state that results from pushing oneself too hard! Often this happens when one gets stressed out and does not take proper care of oneself! Good spiritual theories/programming along with meditative exercises and a healthy diet can help one handle the really hard energy involved in a low energy states! One can learn to better handle spiritually the cycles of life! We live in a rough world where one needs to be grounded enough in reality that we can shut down most of our energy when needed in order to rest and recover and handle doing this. We can be the most tuned in spiritually when comfortably in a very low energy state, since our energy when in this state will interfere less with our receptivity to the spiritual energies beyond our own!

Pain, emotions, and connection with reality!
Strong emotions come with having dealt with strong pain and trauma! To deal with the most challenging emotions one has to be able to handle the most challenging pain! Pain grounds you and give one a very strong connection with reality! Tuning out pain and the reality it represents does not produce healthy results physically or spiritually! Pain helps one know what is wrong so one can better focus on healing oneself and building up ones health and fitness. Great athletes have to be able to handle pain extremely well and be well tuned into their body as a result!
The more pain and discomfort one is able to handle while working hard to achieve ones goals the more one can achieve! We have so many serious problems in this world that cause a lot of pain in this world. It is really hard to solve really serious problems! This hardness needed to solve serious problems comes from ones ability to handle pain and difficulty well! So many people give up when the goings get tough! People of really strong spiritual character will keep going while others give up! The health and well being that comes from pushing ones self really hard and doing what it takes to become really healthy helps one to have energy under conditions in which others do not
One spiritual theories/programming needs to be such that it helps one to handle reality at its most challenging. Spiritual beliefs that are not tuned into the extreme value to us spiritually of the type of challenging physical reality we exist in is, will not help us gain the spiritual strength to deal with the challenges that lie ahead on this planet! We seriously need to mature a lot further spiritually on this planet and leave the inadequate spiritual beliefs of the past behind!
Emotions power us spiritually and can motivate us to do that which will help us achieve great things in this world and solve the serious problems that exist here. But, we need strong reality based emotions in order for this to happen. All of the complete spectrum of emotions have a role to play Demonizing some emotions and putting others on a pedestal does not help us tune into reality well and make the most of all of the valuable emotions that exist. One must be angry about(hate) a lot of what is wrong in this world and love making this world a better place in order to do ones part to make our future on this planet a lot better/healthier! One must fear negative results, so as to be motivated to bring about positive results! Handling the hard emotions related to serious problems can be extremely rough and painful at time, but ne can not solve problems one can not face extremely well!
