The importance of being grounded in this “insane” world

So many spiritual beliefs(theories)that dominate on this planet tend to tune people out quite a bit spiritually from the very challenging physical reality all that are reading this are a vital part of.  We are incarnated in a physical reality that can really test how well our spiritual beliefs/theories really work.  So many spiritual beliefs/theories tend to sort of slander this physical reality or discredit its value and prefer fantasy type beliefs that envision a better type reality that is easier to handle as an afterlife/existence.  People often have spiritual beliefs or theories that distract or remove their focus away from the important challenges that this world offers us as a means to help us grow further spiritually and give us a serious purpose to help us get the most out of what positive value we can develop and contribute to making this world a better place to exist in.

Delusional spiritual beliefs  can be intoxicating like an addictive drug that puts one into a “feel good” state that has not been earned by doing the hard work in order to make one really healthy spiritually and physically and capable of contributing something of real value to a world full of so many serious problems that are not being properly addressed.  Permissiveness, over indulgence, and the desire for  instant gratification tends to weaken people spiritually and make them less responsible and disciplined and unable to carry a reasonable amount of the burden of transforming this world into a place we can really  be proud to be part of.  So many people desire to escape from this world spiritually rather than directly face their responsibilities to do their part to address the really messed up conditions that exist here that are rooted in the spiritual.

We can not adequately address the serious problems that exist on this planet if we can not handle the emotions and pain connected with them.  The truth is often quite painful, but the pain is worth the price of gaining the spiritual strength that enables one to handle more of the truth and thus enable one to be able to be a lot more constructive at finding and implementing solutions to serious problems existing here on this Earth.  The stronger and more aware one is spiritually the more one can handle the painful/challenging side of life.  Pain can really test how grounded one is spiritually.  The spiritual is powered by emotions, and the people who are the most effective are the ones who can not only handle really intense and difficult emotions, but channel these emotions to make really positive things happen in this world.  When one can really feel the emotions related to a extremely difficult situation or serious problem, one can do a lot spiritually to transform the situation.  Meditating on difficult emotions enables one to not only transform these emotions in a positive way, but impact the source of these emotions in a positive way.  Prayer/meditation can be used to help people in trouble provided one has a good spiritual connection with them and what their challenges are.  But, one can only help people who desire that help and are open to improving on the inadequate spiritual beliefs/theories that contributed to their problems.

One can train oneself to become able to handle really intense spiritual-spiritual states.  Challenging spiritual/emotional states always have an impact on oneself physically due to the stress involved.  Intense physical exercise when combined with intense meditative breathing techniques can condition oneself spiritually and physically to be able to handle extremely difficult(torturous)spiritual states.  People who exercise hard often refer to their exercise sessions as torture.  I have blog posts on the dumbbell swing exercise I do for 6 nonstop minutes that I developed in order to help me handle the most intense and difficult emotional/spiritual states possible without adversely affecting my health!  When one becomes really strong and grounded spiritually it becomes a lot easier to resist harmful temptations and to do what is healthy in ones life when it comes to diet and exercise.  One can develop the ability/intuition to find the diet and nutritional supplements that help you to handle pushing yourself extremely hard physically and spiritually.   One can develop the spiritual theories and mindset that can help one to handle extreme spiritual and physical states and still be able to sense intuitively what one can safely get away with.  One has to be able to become very vigilant(aware) and careful when one is pushing the edge an awful lot spiritually and physically.

Also required in order to handle this challenging physical world we are such a vital part of is the ability to function spiritually in a very low energy state.  In a low energy state the spirit becomes a lot more sensitive and aware spiritually.  In order to have a great deal of spiritual control over oneself, one needs to be able to adjust ones energy to the requirements of the situation you find yourself in.  Also when you push yourself very hard doing things that require a lot of energy one needs to be able to rest and recover which is best done spiritually in a love energy state.  Healing from an illness often requires that one not eat much and lower ones blood sugar quite a bit. In times of crisis one often needs to go from high energy state to low energy state quickly based on the situation.  Sometimes it is best to sort of disappear from the scene and let others take over while you recover and evaluate what you need to do next while in a very aware/sensitive low energy spiritual state .  I use slow intense meditative walking with short quick steps, shoulder movement and rapid breathing to enhance my ability to function in a low energy state spiritually.  I find meditative walking help my stationary type meditation work so much better.  I have blog posts on this site dealing with all forms of meditation.  Here is a link to one of them:   https://astrogoodwin.wordpress.com/2016/10/04/meditative-walking-developing-a-stronger-spiritual-connection-with-the-physical/

I have developed spiritual theories and techniques through a really intense spiritual focus over a lifetime especially over the last 30 years.  I am almost 65 years old, so it has taken me a lot of time to get where I am at now.  My spiritual theories and techniques have helped me develop an astrology system that has a great deal of spiritual understanding represented in its formulation!

The need for balance in ones spiritual training

There are two types of meditative training that are required in order to help one to gain a stronger more accurate connection with God/reality. One really needs a balance of the two. Using a breathing technique which enables the body to take in more air/oxygen than one would need in a normal state of consciousness for whatever activity one is doing creates a meditative state.
One can do a really high energy aerobic exercise with the focus on breathing more than required so that an intense meditative/spiritual state becomes part of the exercise. An aerobic exercise with an upper body emphasis works best, in which one breaths extra rapidly, and does neck/head movements that massage the neck enabling the brain to get extra blood flow so that one can push harder than one normally can do. My barbarian dumbbell swing exercise in which I swing the 20 lb dumbbell with two hands from between my legs to over and behind my head does a good job at that. I do bend my arms a little using my arms a lot to lift the dumbbell. I find one can put oneself into an extremely intense and difficult spiritual/physical doing this. I breath in and out 6 to 8 times with each swing and do this for 8 minutes very intensely.I move my head down when lifting the dumbbell (over head) and move my head down when bringing the dumbbell down, massaging my neck and bringing more blood to the brain! I also open and close my mouth intensely while breathing without closing on the teeth which helps to release tension in that area of the head and the head in general.I use to do it longer with less intensity, but as I got more fit, the intensity went up and the duration went down. Quieting the mind during a good portion of this exercise will help one to better increase its intensity while being careful to read your body so you do not do anything to hurt/injure yourself. The more intense you exercise the more careful one needs to be!! One can search for the right exercise for you that fits the same requirements as the dumbbell swing exercise does for me. Studies are showing that really intense cardiovascular exercise of more intensity and shorter duration can be very effective provided one is fit enough to do them. So one has to start with less intensity, more duration and a lighter dumbbell, and gradually increase the the intensity as you get more fit, while shortening the duration and finding the best dumbbell weight for your needs. This high energy exercise will build up your individual spiritual energy strength. In my astrology system the individually focused connections to the top of the birth chart get stronger when you do this type of exercise.
One needs a balance between a really high energy meditative exercise like the one mentioned above along with a slow meditative exercise that slows down ones energy so as to develop more sensitivity and awareness of the universal spiritual energy that exists beyond ones individual self. I developed the meditative walk for that reason. One walks with the legs spread a little farther apart than normal with short steps while breathing in with one step and out with the next. You look upward to a degree while massaging your neck by raising your shoulders higher than one would do in a normal walk. As mentioned in above paragraph the massaging of the neck by ones shoulders brings more blood flow to the head helping one to push oneself harder than one could normally do. One can increase the intensity of this exercise by shortening ones steps even more and by breathing in and out with each step, but this is a really advanced technique when done well and one must work up to it. It can takes years to get really good at this. When doing this exercise one should try to quiet the mind a good portion of the time, since one can focus harder and reach a stronger spiritual state when doing this. One can also focus on the side to side motion and how carefully one moves ones feet when doing this exercise. In my astrology system the universally(beyond ones individual self) connections to the bottom of the birth chart are strengthened by this exercise.
The physical/spiritual health gotten from doing both exercises is needed in order to create the degree of spiritual/physical oneness that is required in order to gain a stronger connection to reality/God so one will be better able to contribute positively spiritually and physically to this physical world one now exists in. One does best to have this balance between handling high and low energy states. Being overly hyper active or overly complacent or quiet/subdued and sensitive will limits ones effectiveness and ability to be in control of oneself spiritually. Being out of control or ineffective spiritually can lead to a lot of serious problems in ones life. This world has a lot of problems rooted in the spiritual that are the result of people being out of control or ineffective spiritually. Being effective spiritually involves handling ones emotions and desires well, so that one can better control and direct ones actions and communications toward positive results in this world.
In order to handle really intense and challenging exercise one has to have spiritual beliefs that enable one to handle the very difficult(can feel quite torturous) spiritual/physical states these exercises create. One needs to develop the ability to put all of ones spiritual focus into the present and not have escapist type spiritual beliefs sabotaging this effort. I have blogs on spiritual beliefs I designed to help one deal with the challenging type spiritual exercises and the spiritual state and the heavy dose of reality they connect one with. The truth often is painful, and ones ability to be able to handle more of the challenging/painful side of life helps one to better connect with more of what is true spiritually, and also to those who are dealing with the serious problems of the world that only can be properly dealt with by have a closer connect to reality and the often painful truths that come with it!! Having a good diet with nutritional supplements also helps one to handle a really challenging spiritual/physical training program!

Religious Freedom and my right to make a living in the area of my expertise

My focus is very much in the spiritual area in everything I do.  I am “differently abled” in a way that make me able to be very creative in the spiritual area.  My astrology system, along with my dumbbell swing(similar to Barbarian swings), my meditative walking,  and other meditative exercises/techniques I have developed and use are all spiritual in their focus.  To me I see no difference between the word “spiritual” and the word “religious”.   They both focus in the same area!   Often people who use astrology or psychic ability have to claim it to be for entertainment purposes only in order to protect themselves legally.  It is true that often entertainment can have quite a positive spiritual impact.  But, the type of spiritual advice I give (with the aid of my astrology system at times)can be very serious and effective at times provided the person is open to my spiritual approach which is very much focused on helping individuals improve on their spiritual  ideas/programming so as to be best able to handle the intense challenges/problems they face and this world faces.  All my spiritual/religious beliefs/ideas I have accepted or have developed are of the type designed to maximizes an individual’s ability to better handle reality at its most intense.  I believe the spiritual/religious beliefs that work the best in helping us perform in our current very challenging reality we exist in will be the ones closest to the truth.

My spiritual focus is very much oriented toward improving the spiritual/physical conditions that exist in this world, so I have a very strong focus on  causes that work toward that goal.  So that is why I am part of the “Starfish Foundation” and put a lot of my spiritual and other energy into it.  People of other religions who are open to further improving on their spiritual beliefs will get along well with me.  Those who feel no need to always be working on trying to improve spiritually through improving on their practices/training and beliefs will be incompatible with me.  I need to work with people who sincerely are always looking for ways to improve on how they function and how effective they can contribute in the area they are capable in.  My focus on spiritual development is important since spiritual change must first start in the individual before positive change can be made spiritually collectively in this world.  The spiritual “status quo” is the enemy of positive spiritual change and to being able to improve on our way of handling the serious problems in the world that are rooted in the spiritual and very much impacted by the spiritual/emotional maturity/development of the individual people that compose our collective society.

I feel I represent someone who really tests how much the belief in Religious Freedom is really valued in the United States of America, and in other countries that claim a similar belief.  I have the right to make a living in the area I am good at even though I am so unique compared to most other people when it comes to my capabilities.  We need to start working harder in this country in using more of the human resources we have available.  Uniquely/”differently abled” individuals should be prized not discouraged or put in positions where they have no constructive ways to develop and contribute to this world.  We live in a society that often likes to overly “blame the victim” for its own inadequacies.  Often the people in leadership blame those that are not that capable of helping themselves rather than showing true leadership and working to change the conditions that they are able to, that are holding people back from living in a more responsible an.d productive way.  We can transform this world into a better place to exist in spiritually, and we can make a lot better use of our human resources.  We need to change the spiritual state of this world, so that we have a spiritual environment here that create a higher percentage of spiritually/emotionally healthy individuals and less spiritually/emotionally unhealthy criminal types.

Here is a link to the “Starfish Foundation” of which I am a member that is just getting started in its quest to make a positive difference in this world:

Spiritual development of human beings, not that of non-humans(animals)

My spiritual focus is very much into improving this world spiritually. This has to be done by improving on the spiritual beliefs and techniques of the human inhabitants on this planet. Some people connect better with animals than human beings. We need to learn to do better at connecting with our fellow human beings. Animals just reflect the spiritual energy they are exposed to. Human beings are capable of so much more spiritually. But often human beings behave not much different than animals. People often project human characteristics onto animals. Animals are a lot tougher than humans realize in handling what ever life sends their way. Humans often project onto the world what they would like to believe to be true. A lot of human beings are not that solidly connected to reality, so as to be really sensitive to other human beings. They often prefer to relate to pets over human beings since pets easily respond to what spiritual energy they project onto them. Some people like to believe all life forms are on the same level spiritually. But, the truth is that some life forms(like human beings) are capable of achieving amazing things spiritually. But, the human race will not advance a lot further spiritually, if it denigrates any effort by anyone trying to perform on a higher(more competent) level spiritually than others. Some people are just better than others in certain areas due to their hard work and potential. We need more people to work hard at improving in the spiritual area on this planet. Being on the same spiritual level of animals(non-humans)is not going to do much to improve the really messed up spiritual conditions on this planet.

In order to do the really intense spiritual-physical training I developed and do, one must have guiding spiritual beliefs(theories)that enable one to handle a the very heavy dose of reality it spiritually connects one with.  Human being are able to push themselves extremely hard spiritually and gain a lot of understanding of how the spiritual works on a very complex level.  We can do amazing things to transform the world we exist in in a positive way provided we advance a lot further in our understanding of the spiritually.  Our pets will gain from our advances through the type of spiritual energy we feed them!

We need more spiritual expertise on this planet, and need the media to be more of a factor in helping this happen!!!

I am in #Houston trying to get my very unique and valuable spiritual beliefs and techniques to the public. I have always been unfairly discriminated against for being “differently or uniquely abled” in this world. The media tends to be locked into a certain mind-set that screens out people like me and deems me as not worthy of accessing the real freedom of speech that only being on the public airways can provide. The media is controlled by certain interests(often interested in maintaining the “status quo” that help finance them). The religious/spiritual status quo is also hard to go up against with authoritarian religions that think they are connected perfectly with perfect divine/spiritual sources also are interested in not allowing an innovative/creative spiritual type person like me get in a position to “rock the boat”.

 

I have spiritual beliefs that are geared to help those with the most challenging of spiritual/psychological/emotional problems and to help deal with the serious problems in this world that are so emotional/spiritually charged! The spiritual is powered by the emotions and a person with true spiritual expertise is able to handle the whole spectrum of emotions in a positive way. People sometimes glorify certain emotions and give them and overly positive spin, while demonizing others. But, all emotions exist for a purpose and can be of great value when directed in a constructive positive way.

 

My beliefs are designed to help people handle the roughest physical/spiritual states a person can face in this very challenging physical reality we exist in. They are not beliefs that devalue the importance of this physical reality we exist in and the challenges it poses to us spiritually. A spirit can not be strong or function really well without being in a challenging environment. Tough spiritual training techniques(like the ones I have developed and train myself with)help one to become able to handle extremely tough physical/spiritual states, so that one will be able to better perform spiritually in the field(real life). Good training is suppose to prepare one to have the professional skills to be able to better contribute in ones field of expertise to others who can benefit from it, and to making the world a better place by so doing.

 

Science does not have all the answers, and often intrudes to much in areas that are spiritual in nature and not that easily dealt with with their scientific methods/techniques. The field of psychology is dominated by the spiritual, and the field of medicine is greatly affected by the spiritual. We need really badly to advance further in the spiritual area, so that we can keep science from dominating areas that should be the territory of those who have really advanced spiritual training. We need to advanced spiritually to the point that we all become “spiritually independent” and able to search for the best spiritual beliefs and techniques and not be controlled by authoritarian spiritual ideology dominated by “bigger than life” historical/mythological figures/individuals from the past. Being divided by differing spiritual ideologies/mythologies, has harmed our spiritual advancement on this planet, science does not have all these differing ideologies to deal with and is able to be a united field searching for the truth about our physical universe. The spiritual need to advance so it can take a similar approach as science while using effective spiritual methods to discover what works the best to effectively improve the spiritual conditions that exist on this planet and solve the serious problems that exist here to quite a degree that have their roots in the spiritual. So many problems could be better address in this world if people developed further spiritually so that their emotions and desires could better be harnessed to bring positive constructive results rather than tending to sabotage our attempted to improve the state this world is in.

My Astrology System Formula

Updated: 10 Jan 26, 5:34 am, I use 6 levels of the chart set up based on certain times before spiritual birth which is when the spirit enters/incarnates into the body which I believe happens in a time period of up to a half hour before or after physical birth. I use 4 aspects to these characters: to the Galactic Center as positioned by its exact aspect to both the Midheaven and Nadir before spiritual birth, to Jupiter as positioned by its exact aspect to the Midheaven before spiritual birth, to the Sun as positioned by the exact aspect to the Nadir before Spiritual birth, and to the Moon as positioned by its exact aspect to the Nadir before spiritual birth. These aspects I use for example represent the 4 phases of the Moon in regards to the aspects between the Sun and Moon. The aspects I use are: The conjunction (00 degrees)which is ruled by fire, the opening square (90 degrees)which is ruled by earth, the opposition (180 degrees)which is ruled by air and the closing square (270 degrees)which is ruled by water. The aspect orb for any inexact aspects is 15 degrees (1/3 of 45 degrees). The inexact aspects try to seek expression through the rulers of the exact aspects that set up the 6 levels of the chart.   Aspects deal with the area that the characters(Sun, Moon, Galactic Center, Midheaven, Nadir and planets)direct their energy into. Fire and Earth are male, and Earth and Water are female. Good to have spiritual connections with opposite sex to help balance one’s energy.

The time of the first level of the chart is set up by the last exact aspect before(spiritual) birth between the Midheaven (personal water) and the Galactic Center(universal fire). This is the inner personal/individual (intimate)level and its is dominated by the Midheaven (individual personal Water).  The individual/personal type characters that play an important role on this level are Mars(individual/personal fire), Venus(individual/personal earth), Mercury(individual/personal air), and the Midheaven (individual/personal  water). These characters rule the following aspects: The Mars rules the conjunction aspect of the Sun to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is personal fire), Venus rules the opening square aspect of the Sun to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is personal earth), The Mercury rules the opposition aspect of the Midheaven to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is personal air), and the Midheaven rules the closing square aspect of the Midheaven itself to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is personal water). The ruler of this level of the chart is the personal character that rules the exact aspect of the Midheaven to the Galactic Center before spiritual birth that sets up this level of the chart. The Midheaven’s position is determined by the time of this exact aspect it has to the Galactic Center before spiritual birth..

The time of the second level of the chart is set up by the last exact aspect(opening square, opposition, closing square and conjunction) before (spiritual) birth between Jupiter(outer purposeful/group fire) and the Midheaven (personal water). This level is the outer individual(purposeful)level and its set up is dominated by the Jupiter(outward purposeful/group Fire). This outer level tend to relate with unique groups they can identify with. The characters that are directed outwardly and play an important part on this level are:  Jupiter(outer purposeful/group fire), Saturn(outer purposeful/group earth), Uranus(outer purposeful/group air), and Neptune(outer individual water).  These characters rule the following aspects:  Jupiter rules the conjunction aspect of Jupiter itself to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is purposeful Fire), Saturn rules the opening square aspect of Jupiter to the other characters on this level of the chart on this level of the chart(this aspect is purposeful Earth), Uranus rules the opposition aspect of Jupiter to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is purposeful Air), and Neptune rules the closing aspect of Jupiter to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is purposeful Water).  The ruler of this level of the chart is the purposeful character that rules the exact aspect between Jupiter and the Midheaven that sets up this level of the chart.  Jupiter itself has only one of the above aspects that counts for it and that is its exact aspect to the Midheaven that sets up this level of the chart. Jupiter’s position is determined by the time of this exact aspect to the Midheaven that sets up this level of the chart.

The time of the third level of the chart is set up by the last exact aspect before (spiritual) birth between the Galactic Center and the Nadir (Universal Earth). This is the universal physical(work) level needed in a concrete physical world that can be quite challenging and its setup is dominated by the Midheaven (universal earth). The universal characters that play an important part on this physical level are the Galactic Center (universal Fire), The Nadir (universal Earth), the Moon(universal Air), and the Sun (universal Water). These characters rule the following aspects: The Galactic Center rules the conjunction aspect of the Nadir to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is universal Fire), The Nadir rules opening square aspect of the Nadir itself to the other characters (this aspect is universal Earth), The Moon rules the opposition aspect of the Nadir to the other characters(this aspect is universal Air) and the Sun rules the closing square aspect of the Nadir to the other characters on this level of the chart(this aspect is universal Water). The position of the Nadir is determined by it’s exact aspect to the Galactic Center before spiritual birth that sets up this level of the chart.

The time of the fourth level of the chart is set up by the last exact aspect before (spiritual) birth between the Moon and the Nadir(universal water). This is the universal social level and its setup by the Moon (universal Air). This transformative realm is ruled by all 3 characters ruled by the element on the chart that correspond to the aspects to the Moon(universal air)as positioned by it’s exact aspect to the Galactic Center that sets up this level of the chart.   These three characters will need to connect and cooperate with each other so as to gain strength as a unit. Fire rulership on this level of the chart is set up by the conjunction aspect of the Moon to the other characters(this aspect is social fire)and is will connect you to all 3 Fire characters: Mars, Jupiter, and the Galactic Center.  Earth rulership on this level the chart is set up by the opening square aspect of the Moon to the other characters(this aspect is social earth) and will connect you to all 3 characters Earth characters: Venus, Saturn, and the Nadir. Air rulership on this level of the chart is set up by the opposition aspect of the Moon to other characters(this aspect is social air)and will connect you to all 3 Air characters: Mercury, Uranus, and the Moon. Water rulership on this level of the chart is set up by the closing square aspect of the Moon to the other characters (this aspect is social water) and will connect you to all 3 Water characters: the Midheaven, Neptune, and the Sun. The ruler of this level of the chart are all the 3 characters on the chart of the same element as the exact aspect between the Nadir and the Moon that sets up this level of the chart.  The position of the Moon is determined by the exact aspect it has to the Nadir that sets up this level of the chart.

The time of the fifth level of the chart is set by the last exact aspect before spiritual birth between the Sun and the Nadir. This externally  focused level of the chart is set up by the Sun that connects one with our complicated external spiritual  level of our reality and the general public that helps connects us with it.  The Sun(universal water) is the character that dominates the setting up of this level of the chart and helps spirits like us connect with and positively influence the universal spiritual field(that underlies all of our physical universe) provided we do what it takes to develop the spiritual strength and understanding to enable us to do so. Being locked in to certain beliefs or mythologies can harm ones ability to handle the all important reality we exist in right now. This level is dominated by the element of the aspects that the other characters make to the Sun as positioned by it exact as to the Nadir before Spiritual birth, and these aspects will connect you to all other aspect of similar element on the chart. You pick up these energies from others and the external environment provided they represent the energies of the proper ruling character(s). So, all fire/conjunction aspects on this level of the chart will connect to any other fire aspects on the chart, All earth/opening square aspects on this level of the chart will connect to any other earth aspects on the chart, All air/opposition aspects on the chart will connect to any other air aspects on the chart. And all closing square/water aspects on the chart will connect you to any other water aspects on the chart. These aspects to the Sun help the other aspects of the same element connect with the external world/universe. The ruler of this level of the chart is determined by the element that rules the Nadir’s exact aspect to the Sun. The position of the Sun is determined by it’s exact aspect to the Nadir that sets up the time of this level of the chart. The time of the chart is set up is determined by the time of the first aspect of the Sun to the Nadir happening before Spiritual birth.

The Sixth level of the chart is set up by the last exact aspect of the Galactic Center to the Midheaven and Nadir before spiritual birth. An element rules this level of the chart. The element that rules this level of the chart and dominates the chart overall has to be of the proper sex(fire or earth) for male chart and (air or water) for female chart chosen from one of the elements of the opposite elements of the characters that rule the third or fifth levels of the the chart. The 6th level of the chart is the relational center of the chart will help connect the individual to the outside world through deep spiritual connections to other people through the elements that dominate it. The elements of the inexact aspects from the Galactic Center to the other characters do count on this level of this chart. The elements expressed through these characters on this level of the chart will connect to any of the rulers of the other levels of the chart that are ruled by a similar element.

The strength of an elements(Fire, Earth, Air & Water) of a chart is determined by adding up the number of the different elements of the inexact aspects on levels 1 through 6, and then adding to them the number of elements that rule the exact aspects that rule levels 1 through 5 and counting them twice. The ruling element of the exact aspect of the sixth level of the chart counts as 4 times as strong as inexact aspects and represents the focal point of the chart. The sixth level of the chart also brings in sexual differences. The strength of the 12 individual characters will be added up in a way similar to that of the elements based on the aspects they rule with the characters ruling the inexact aspects counting once, the characters ruling the exact aspect on the first through fifth levels counting twice, and the character ruling the sixth level of the chart counting four times. Two way aspects count both ways which can happen between these four characters: Jupiter, the Galactic Center, Moon, and the Sun..

All characters except the Midheaven, and the Nadir will have aspects (representing the 6 levels of the chart) directed at them. Also, the exact aspects that set up the 6 levels of the chart will influence both the characters they are connected to, despite being ruled by only one character or element as explained previously. The Midheaven will only be impacted directly by the exact aspects that connects it to the Jupiter, and the Galactic Center, while the Nadir will only be impacted directly by the exact aspects that connects it with the Galactic Center, the Sun and Moon. These exact aspects are only ruled by the character(s) or element(level five and six)that rules the exact aspect to the character that sets up the level of the chart involved! The non exact aspects on the different levels of the chart affect only the characters they are directed at and have no direct impact on the character that sets up the level of the chart involved.

This system is based on intuition(assumptions), logic and sequences. The very basic assumption is the acceptance of the value of representing everything using the elements Fire(representing energy), Earth(representing form/matter), Air(representing intelligence), and Water(representing spirit/emotion).  These 4 elements have this sequence:  First comes Fire representing energy/purpose, creativity and the future in which so many possibilities exist.  Nothing can exist with out a future and purpose to exist.  When fire burns up all its energy hard resistant Earth is what is left.  Earth represents form and structure.  Form gives the necessary differentiation/diversity and substance/strength required to make our reality function well and hold together under stress.   When Earth burns up its energy only abstract Air remains.  Air represents intelligence which is required as part of our reality in order for advanced life forms to be able to evolve/exist.  Our reality is designed in a way that can really serve the needs of advanced life forms really well with really advanced ecosystems.  When Air burns up its energy then only dreamy, meditative,  quiet, visionary, intuitive, healing, spiritual Water remains. Water representing spirit(which is powered by emotion) brings individual, collective, and universal type  spirits into the mix..  The ultimate purpose of this universe/reality is to provide for the needs of the individual spirits that depend on it for their existence.  The whole universe exists as the result of the needs of the spirits that are part of it.  Without spirits and their needs nothing would exist.  When water burns up its energy which tends to slow oneself down and work at healing from past traumas, then Fire is free to start a new cycle with a new burst of creative energy.

These sequences represents how the various astrological characters get defined. 1. The sequence for the inner individual characters(all in the inner part of our solar system)starts with Mars(personal Fire), then Venus(personal Earth), then Mercury(personal Air) and ends with the Midheaven (personal water). 2. The next sequence is the one dealing with the outer individual characters. This sequence starts with Jupiter(Fire) and moves outward through Saturn(Earth), Uranus(Air), and finally ends with the furthest big planet Neptune(water). 3.  The final sequence is the one dealing with the universal characters.   It starts with the Galactic Center(Galactic Center=Universal Fire), then to the Nadir(The Nadir=Universal Earth), then to the Moon(The Moon=Universal air), and finally to the Sun(The Sun=Universal Water).

I do not use signs(for interpretation) or houses in this astrology system since I could not find a logical way to set them up, and found they were unnecessary.  Also there are two competing astrology sign systems that are incompatible with each other, but have a lot of believers in each(Sidereal and Tropical).  So that sort of make me believe that their effectiveness is based more on belief in them than on how well they actually work.  If an astrology system is overly complicated and can be used in a way to come up with many different interpretations, then someone will tend to find parts of the interpretation that will fit them.  Intuition can often come to the rescue of an astrologer and help them focus on the interpretations that fit best.  I developed a new astrology system because I found that when using a traditional astrology system that my intuition was often correcting for the inadequacies it had.  I also found out after being pushed to the very edge in 1992,  how important it is to have ones beliefs based on logic and direct experimentation and not on mythology.

Back in 1977, I let myself get really deeply into astrology which I knew inside me that once I allowed myself to emerge myself in it, I would find it really hard to ever detach myself from it. It takes extremely hard work over a very long time to achieve anything of real value in this world. I have been developing and perfecting this astrology system obviously for a very long time. I have really high spiritual standards, because I know through direct personal experience how much this world really badly needs a good tool(tuning devise)to help it advance to a higher spiritual level that will help it better cope with all the serious problems rooted in the spiritual that exist here.

It takes an awful lot of experimentation and trial and error(mostly error)in order to develop anything new. Innovation is never easy. Discovering more of the truth will come with some really challenging lessons a long the way! I hope to get the opportunity to test this new astrology system on some fresh people.

Working at overcoming the resistant spiritual energy on this planet to better(more practical) spiritual beliefs!

I weighted 122.5(5’10’ tall) after snacking and doing my extremely difficult dumbbell swing exercise routine this morning, and 122 without snacking and  before doing my 2 mile run routine yesterday.  I feel I will be reaching a new set point weight wise soon.  I do not diet in a way to tune me out to my body and do feel intensely the affects(including hunger) on it of my really challenging diet and exercise routine.   I am really developing the ascetic body type required to be able to be extremely effective in the spiritual area.  We live in the atomic age where often one has to be able to do things with very little margin for error in order to gain the positive results required in the highly technologically/scientifically advanced we now live in.  That is how I approach  the spiritual and feel we need to have this spiritual approach in order to better handle the problems of this world  we currently  live in.

I am really pushing my limits in my spiritual-physical training in order to imprint my astrology system(and the spiritual beliefs that come with it) so strongly into myself,  that it will not be able to be adversely affected by the spiritual beliefs that now dominate this planet and tend to be accepted without a lot of questioning or really deep rational/practical thought.   Often people who have a higher degree of sanity than others can see things others are unable to see and what is possible as a result.  Those who conform to the spiritual status quo will often feel they are saner than those who challenge it even when those who challenge it are doing so as a result of having better connection with reality and the greater awareness that comes with this.  I need to break through the resistant spiritual energy that exists on this planet that make it hard for better spiritual beliefs to be accepted here.  This is not easy to do on the planet Earth!

For more details on my physical-spiritual training program and spiritual beliefs read some of my previous blog posts.

5/6/2016: When this blog post was published I was pushing the edge when it came to a calorie restricted diet.  I had to be very careful and precise in order to do this safely.  It was very good training at the time and helped me improve on my spiritual insights and training.  It also helped me to make a very dramatic move/change in my life.  I have  gone off the calorie restriction part of this diet to a considerable degree since then and gained weight.  My spiritual training has improved even further.  My astrology system has gotten to a good place.  But really pushing the edge safely on a calorie restricted diet did help me get where I needed to be.  It is not easy to go where no one on this Earth has gone before which is what a spiritual pioneer has to do.  People often believe being a spiritual pioneer is not possible, so one has to be super strong spiritually to bring more advanced spiritual ideas and techniques to a world that is very resistant to change in this area.

My current situation in life!

Lately, I am so much in survival mode spiritually, which is good to motivate me to push as hard as I can with my spiritual-physical training. I live and depend on someone(a family member)who does not see my meditative training as of much value and has a vision of me that really exclude most of my spiritual expertise which is where most of my value is. I keep being motivated to go further to the extreme as to my spiritual limits as a result. I feel I have no choice. But, this is area I am good at so that being my only choice is a good thing. I do need to change my current situation so that I can better contribute in the area of my abilities to this world. I do need to partner with people who appreciate what I have to offer in the spiritual area. I need to find a way to put what financial resources I have to good use in helping me to have more financial security in the future and less dependence on people that are clueless about me.

I am losing about a pound a week and now am at 127 lbs at 5′ 10″ tall. Still handling my dumbbells swings so maintaining my strength in the way that is important to me. I find meditating while hungry help me to develop the spiritual strength to protect me from those who are antagonistic to my innovative spiritual approach and the type of practical spiritual beliefs I have. I am obviously not reaching people well enough, so I have to push the edge even further spiritually and physically. The spiritual is very linked and dependent on the physical for its strength and awareness.

I am always careful! But, have to do what it takes to get the results I require. If I do not keep moving in the direction I am, I feel like my future will be less safe.   I do what I feel I must do using my very well trained intuition along with what sources of information about what I am doing that I feel I can trust. I am well informed on calorie restricted diets that are used for life extension. I am really good at researching stuff on the internet. My legs are not as lean(fat-wise) as a lot of the really fast runners. My aerobic ability is very upper body focused which helps me get a lot of good circulation to my brain which is so important to how well I am doing spiritually. My dumbbell swing exercise which is very important to keeping me really healthy physically and spiritually is going really well!

I have to believe in myself and the hard work I have put in over a lifetime in the spiritual as well as in the related fields of nutrition and fitness. I just feel that the resistance to spiritual change on this planet is so strong that I will have to really push the fine line required to overcome this resistance at least in a few key people at first. People in the past have attempted to develop themselves further spiritually leading an ascetic lifestyle, but did not have all the resources as well as knowledge about health and nutrition available as we have today.

I am just being open and relating my current situation, I understand that a lot of people on this site will be unable to understand someone like me very well, but I am very complex and unique and very hard to understand. In working spiritually at figuring out my own complexity, I have become really good spiritually at understanding people who also are extremely difficult to understand.  If anyone is interested in connecting with me more closely, I am on facebook.  Put “astrogoodwin facebook” into a search engine to locate me.

In response to a video on nutrition I was urged to check out

The video was posted under this facebook status I posted:

I have made my diet more calorie restricted lately. I feel I really need to push the edge physically and spiritually in order to make things happen in this world for me and my spiritual ideas. I feel like I listen too much to those who are not the type that would be really interested in what i have to offer spiritually. I feel I can safely do things to become extremely healthy physically and spiritually that would not be safe for those without the really good spiritual beliefs I have. For those who my extreme spiritual-physical focus is too much for you to handle, you can unfriend me. I really need deep friendships, not good at other types!

I do take a multi-vitamin-mineral tablet twice a day and extra vitamin C, and vitamin B complex tablets. I also take a calcium-magnesium-zinc tablet(1/3 daily value). I trust my diet, since it has helped me to really push my physical and spiritual limits. I have had a strong focus on nutrition my whole life. Individuals do differ and must adjust their diet so it works well for them. I tend to be very unique, so my diet had to be tailored to my uniqueness by me over a life time of trial and error in this area. I did listen to parts of that video, but it is very long and not as concise and to the point as I prefer. Most video presentations I find do not get to the point quick enough for me.

The spiritual plays a very strong role as to health and helps one to better read ones body in order to figure out what works best for you individually. I train in a way spiritually unlike anyone else, and that affects my bodies nutritional/dietary requirements. One size does not fit all, and I am aware of that more than practically anyone else. I really trust my own extremely well trained and programmed intuition to figure out what sources to trust(including what I figure out on my own) when it comes to nutrition and diet. I like the fact I rarely get sick or hurt with my dietary and exercise approach! I have charted an independent course spiritually for some time, and until I find people who are on the same spiritual wavelength as me, I will have to trust myself over them as to what is best for me physically and spiritually.

People just have not been appreciating all the extremely deep and valuable stuff I have posted on varies sites on the internet. So, I must be willing to go further using myself as an experiment(as I have done most of my life)to demonstrate what a person with really effective spiritual beliefs is capable of. I will scare away those who are unable or unwilling to truly explore the value of what I have come up with spiritually over a lifetime of very intense exploration in this area.

Individuals have often had to make certain breakthroughs in this world, and to do things people believe it is not possible for an individual to do. I understand why people would not be open to someone as “differently abled” as me. But, I have no choice but to chart the course that works best for me, and what I can contribute to this world. I will listen to a lot of sources, but I must recognize that my physical/spiritual uniqueness make me have to not be very trusting of most sources of information that are available on this planet at this time as to them being good enough to apply precisely to me..

This is a previous blog post that deal with my diet and its recent evolution:

https://astrogoodwin.wordpress.com/2012/03/25/the-diet-i-use-to-help-me-handle-my-intense-physicalspiritual-exercise/

My diet is not as calorie restricted now(5/7/2016), but I did advance spiritually a lot while on a really calorie austere restricted diet and was also able to make some very difficult changes in my life’s situation.
