People often use the term “path” as though they are moving on a very independent spiritual course. But often these people are really following a herd of people who are guided by popular websites that have a label for the spiritual ideology that they follow. They may not think of it as an ideology, but these web sites sure sound like they present an ideology. I have spiritual beliefs that can only be found through reading what I myself have presented on the internet. I have a very “challenging physical world” focused type of spirituality intended to help everyone improve on their spiritual beliefs and training so they can better face spiritually the huge challenges that only a physical world can present one with and be capable of bringing out the most in one spiritually. I would not mind having a “herd” following me, but in a way that is not done blindly without questioning and experimentation as to how well ones spiritual beliefs actually help one to better perform spiritually. People with spiritual expertise like me need people to utilize what I have to offer in a way that works well for them as unique individual spirits.

Hard spiritual work required to face the hard times ahead on this planet!
I did a one mile meditative walk using my latest technique focusing on the really harsh energies that dominate this Earth and hold it back from advancing spiritually. The spiritual beliefs that dominate this planet psychically due to the number of believers in them are often thought to be perfect spiritually by a lot of people. They are often channeled by mediums and represented as from a perfect source. But, the hard truth is there is no perfect source of spiritual information on this planet, and the sources that are readily available are not very good for effectively handling the serious problems of the times we now live in. God can not be a perfect source spiritually for us, because, our connection to God is not perfect and can not be perfect. We connect to God through connecting spiritually to the physical reality that God maintains for our benefit.
It takes really hard work spiritual to connect really strongly spiritually with the physical reality our spirit exists in. But, those that are really strong spiritually develop the capability to handle really hard work. Really good spiritual training requires very difficult meditative and cardiovascular(heart training) exercises along with a very strict healthy diet, so as to give one the spiritual strength needed to handle the strong physical-spiritual challenges this world has so many of. In this permissive society we live in often people do not like the idea of doing really hard spiritual training over a long period of time.
People are often attracted to spiritual ideologies that claim hard spiritual work is not required. Fantasy type beliefs(so easily found and tuned into psychically on this planet) that do not interface with our reality very well, can have an appeal(an addictive properties) similar to a recreational drug, but they will over the long run have consequences that are similar to intoxicating drugs to quite a degree In times when we were less technologically advanced and the consequences of our actions where not as severe as in this nuclear age we now live in, people could survive with not the best spiritual beliefs or conditions. But as we advance technologically we will have to develop the spiritual maturity to handle this technology really well. Being like a child in our spiritual beliefs will not be good enough in the very challenging times to come. Spirits that remain child-like may be forced to move to a less advanced planet where a higher level of spiritual maturity is not required. We all will face the consequences of our actions when it comes to our spiritual development

I badly need help in being able to better contribute spiritually to this world what I have to offer!
It is a really good situation for really intense spiritual training and working to improve my spiritual beliefs and the astrology system that goes with them. But, I do not find living with my sister and my nephew(with legal problems) is at all a supportive environment for me, but tends to make things quite difficult for me. I did better in the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s when often living in bad neighborhoods in the inner city of Roanoke, Va. I do need to move to a place that is very convenient to some one who does not drive(and for good reason as to the safety of others). I do best in a place with a simple bus system and a lot of places useful to me within walking distance. I have never gotten a place to live without using connections. I just seem to not have any good connections here now. I do have money I inherited, but do not want to exhaust that to quickly since I do not qualify for social security due to limited work history.
I feel like the USA has gone backward in recent history when it comes to finding affordable temporary places to live, I just do not believe that i could find cheap hotels that one can pay really low weekly rates anymore. I feel we are actually regressing backward in this country spiritually. I feel that even getting necessities like state ID cards are becoming more difficult for people like me. So I feel that is why I am not as adventurous as when I was younger when it comes to relocating to a better place for me.
My limited visual memory and limited finer motor skills make life in most areas very difficult for me, which has helped me to focus extremely intensely in the spiritual area in a practical rational way with my limited visual ability being good at dealing with core formulas/principles. Often one can make ones limitations work to your benefit in helping one see things from a different angle than those with more “normal” abilities. The problem that people who are different in there abilities and tend to really go deeper in a particular area run into, is that when one goes beyond the mindset that prevails people tend to not be very receptive to what they have to offer. . Often people have an overconfidence that leads them to believe they already have the best answers and need not pay attention to someone who dares to try to improve on their answers. The spiritual/religious area is an area very resistant to advancement and tends to not be that open to a more rational/sane/practical spiritual approach in both beliefs and training/practices.
I am very good at what I do, but it is so hard for me to translate that into being able to contribute what I have of value to the world. Especially when so many people are unable to understand someone as unique(different from the norm)as me. But being different in how my mind and body has giving me a unique perspective that I would not have if I was more “normal”. Some people require because of their complex differences from others, with the more advanced spiritual capability and the understanding that makes that possible, in order to function on the level required in order to be able to continue to survive in this world. I am really good at dealing with those who have the biggest spiritual challenges in their lives, due to what I have gone through and the extreme effort I have put into understanding spiritually what is required to become really good at handling them.
I have done best in the past when I was in partnership with someone else who complemented my abilities. I feel the more specialized one becomes in what one is capale of, the more one needs others with differing abilites to work with you. One may need to spend a lot of time alone developing in the area one is specialized in, but one will often need people with the abilities one lacks to help one contribute effectively to the world what one has to offer. Often people automatically get the support they need from a society tailored to their mind-set. People often do not appreciate how much society supports what they do and take it for granted. People often can be quite insensitive to people who society is not designed very well at this time to support them. People often like to feel superior to others because they fit into society so well. Some spiritual beliefs even tend to be more designed for those who readily fit into the prevailing mind-set and the societal structure that goes with it. Often those who are do not fit in very well are denegrated rather than being helped in a way to be able to contribute their value to society. Society does tend to waste a lot of its talent. It is no wonder this world is so messed up in so many ways. It could be in such better shape, it is would improve spiritually in how it treats people who are different.
Somehow, I need to find people who could personally benefit from what I have to offer in enabling them to take on bigger spiritual challenges within themselves and in the world they live in. I have a lot to offer to the right people. I do not want to connect with people who see me as a burden. I deal enough with those type of people when it comes to my relatives, that I have been dependent on, and have helped spiritually without much credit.
Great innovation often happens in fields that have been resistant to progress for quite some time. In the spiritual/religious field, resistance to progress tend to readily happen, since beliefs run deep and can be deeply implanted and can be very resistant to better spiritual beliefs that are more rational and effective in the challenging world we presently exist in and perform in spiritually. I know from personal experience, since I have faced some really intense challenges in my life, that under intense crisis conditions one needs rational spiritual beliefs to keep one sane and functioning well spiritually. That irrational spiritual beliefs tend not to serve one well in a crisis. Since I use a type of spiritual crisis training as part of my daily routine, I am in good position to make sure my beliefs are rational enough to handle the roughest of conditions I could face spiritually in this challenging world.
I add this due to a comment pertaining to what I posted in the paragraph just above this I got on another site that I posted this on: We connect with God(the universal spirit) to the degree we connect spiritually with the physical reality we exist in. Good spiritual training helps us as individuals increase our connection with reality. When we lose our connection with reality as a result of losing our connection with our self, we no longer will have a good connection with God. But, we can become readily controlled by certain spiritual ideologies that have a lot of psychic support presently in this world, when we do something that causes us to lose our self awareness. A lot of spiritual beliefs systems sort of brainwash people into their ideology. Spiritual innovation can not happen unless people keep their awareness of who they are as independent spirits and do not allow the current not that adequate spiritual energies and the beliefs that support them, that dominate this Earth right now control them. People can connect with energies that are projected psychically by believers to represent God in a way that is not good enough for the challenges of the reality we now exist in.

All of the spectrum of Emotions can be positive when properly directed spiritually
People have a tendency to see certain emotions as only positive while seeing others as only negative. But, actually all emotions have a reason for existing and can be positive/healthy or negative/harmful depending on how good one is able to handle them and direct them.
Love is the emotion that seems to be often seen as only positive. But, love without understanding does not work that well at bring positive results in the world. It is the results that come from being motivated by an emotion that really count. Often the emotion of love is channeled in to all kinds of harmful addictions. Often relationships can be addictive and harmful. Sexual addiction can lead to all kinds of problems. Drug and food addictions are related to misdirected love. People often get addicted to their spiritual/religious beliefs/ideology and to the group/tribe associated with their beliefs. So many problems in this world are related to the sort of addictive tribal energy people become overly attached to. People who are strongly addicted to their spiritual beliefs are going to be very resistant to improving on them so that they can become more effective at directing their love energy to making positive things happen in their life and the world they influence/affect. A person may not always seem/appear to be very loving even though they may actually be doing a lot to help others and in helping make this world a better place. Some people do send out a lot of effective healing energy to others and to the world. If one is doing a lot spiritually to improve the conditions in the world around you and to help those close to you to lead better lives, then one would be using ones love energy in a really positive and effective way.
Anger is an emotion that is often really maligned by some spiritual ideologies. But a lot of the great causes that have made a really positive difference in this world have come as a result of the anger some people have felt about things that they felt were not right with this world. Often when someone or someone they know becomes a victim of an accident or crime or injustice, they will become quite angry and direct that anger toward mobilizing support to change the conditions that lead to the tragic results. A lot of things in this world are worth getting angry about. The main thing is to be able to handle the anger well, and utilize it to make the effort to improve the serious problems that exist on this planet. It is true that so often people are unable to handle anger well and they do things that are destructive to themselves and others. Some people just do not perform well when angry, but people who are able to handle anger well actually can perform better when angry. Some athletes, for example, perform at their best when angry.
Fear is also often maligned by certain spiritual ideologies. But, we live in a dangerous world where it is easy to get in serious trouble if one is not careful and does not fear making costly mistakes or fear certain dangers. People who work in Nuclear Power plants or involved in occupations that mistakes can cause serious injuries or cost lives need to use fear of harmful consequences to make them more vigilant. Fear of failing some test or not reaching a goal can motivate one to try to be really thorough when it comes to doing everything that it takes to past that test and meet that goal. Even if one fails at something it is so important that you know you gave it all you had. Trying to do ones best is what counts spiritually. One need to be aware of the dangers that exist in this world and actually fear them, so that one will be able to formulate some kind of plan on what to do if one is faced with a danger. One can not plan for every danger, but it is the awareness of possible danger than help one to intuitively sense approaching danger so that one can best avoid it. Feeling fear related to something can be ones intuition warning you to be extra careful or the need to change course or plans so as to avoid a dangerous/unsafe situation.
I will not cover every emotion, since you should be getting a sense for how emotions can be directed in a way to bring positive results in this world. The spiritual is very much powered by emotions. Good spiritual training requires one become really good at handling intense and difficult emotions so one can direct them toward positive results in this world. If one is really good at doing really intense meditative exercises, one will be good at channeling in on the emotions one is sensing related to the various things happening in your life or the lives of people you are close to and having a positive impact on them as one processes them spiritually. As one dissipates the discomfort an emotion is producing using intense meditation/meditative exercise and makes one more comfortable with the emotion, one will at the same time be having a positive impact on the source or cause of the emotion. One may still need to take some action related to a situation that has a certain emotion associated with it, but after meditating on the emotion one should be able to handle the situation in a lot more effective and positive way. I often feel anxiety before a meeting or social event, but find if I meditate shortly before the event/meeting I will be better able to handle the situation. The anxiety help me to mobilize the energy I need to better handle a situation that could be quite challenging to me.
One can not relate really effectively spiritually with a person who is powerfully affected by a particular emotion, unless one can handle that particular emotion well oneself. Understanding people really well requires one understand and handle emotions of all kind really well.

We need practical spiritual beliefs that really work in this challenging physical reality
This is a blog post that covers the same basis subject of previous ones. One can skim through the parts that sound really familiar. This post was motivated by people who believe that aliens are strongly influencing spiritually what is happening on this planet.
The power of belief can create all sorts of spiritual beings/forces. These spiritual forces/beings can be as wild as the beliefs they are supported by and that they in turn help support. Ones beliefs will actually bring things to life on the spiritual level. That is why one has to be careful what spiritual beliefs one invests ones spiritual energy into. I do not feed into the belief that this planet is strongly affected by spiritual beings or aliens coming from far away. I believe this spiritual belief does not help us focus enough of our spiritual energy on doing what it takes spiritually to improve the messed up conditions that exist here on this planet.
When one feeds into a spiritual beliefs that is not aligned with reality enough, it will not be able to help one be able to get very good results from them. Delusional beliefs of all kinds do circulate on this planet and certain individuals tend to be vulnerable to their appeal. Often people with schizophrenia believe that aliens are controlling their lives. One can google “schizophrenia aliens” and find a lot of articles on this.
We do have though spirits that come from previous lives on other planets and incarnate here, but they must first become biologically part of this planet. The responsibility for what happens spiritually on this planet lies squarely on the spiritual shoulders of those who are born here. We have to do the thinking on our own to come up with ways to improve our spiritual beliefs and techniques/practices. We must go through the trial and error process that come with trying to figure out what works the best spiritually. It is up to us, not some beings from some other dimension or location.
I do not believe hypnotism or channeling are that reliable most of the time as spiritual sources. I believe that people can only draw spiritual information to themselves that their spiritual state is ready for based on what spiritual beliefs/programming they now have. Also, I belief any spiritual beliefs that one some how are made aware of, or comes ones way, need to be tested as to how well they really work in this very challenging spiritual reality we exist in. I have done a lot of work developing better spiritual ideas and techniques and have an astrology systems that I developed as a result. When ever I felt my astrology system was not working well enough for me, I would have to try out all kinds of logical alternatives and figure out a better way for it to work and find better spiritual beliefs to base it on.
I do test all my spiritual beliefs as to how well they help me to handle extremely rough spiritual states that I put myself through. I demand a lot out of myself spiritually and have to have spiritual beliefs that can handle the heavy demand I put on them. One of my most important spiritual beliefs is that the best spiritual beliefs will work really well for everyone. That we live spiritually in the same reality which works a certain way with a great degree of oneness in how it functions.

Unreliable sources/experiences often used to back up spiritual beliefs
We can do the really difficult spiritual work/training to gain a better spiritual grip on reality so that we can better determine which sources are more reliable. There are so many people in this world that do not have a good spiritual grip on reality. We can not work to improve the spiritual beliefs that people hold on this planets, if people tend to believe some of the really wild experiences some people have are true and therefore their spiritual beliefs are true.
One has to just figure out what spiritual beliefs will allow one to get the strongest spiritual grip on reality(and will serve us well when we are facing the most difficult challenges this world can offer us), and not allow the wild experiences that believers of many of the inadequate spiritual ideologies that exist on this planet use to validate what they believe or want to believe. Almost every religion or spiritual group/organization will present all sorts of miraculous/unusual experiences people have that validate why their beliefs are really true.
I could not have done all the work to improve my spiritual beliefs and the astrology system I have developed that is based on them, if I was forced to give a lot of credence to a lot of the experience that others present to validate the inadequate beliefs of the past, or beliefs that are sort of in style in the present. I understand very well how the spiritual works, and understand how messed up spiritual energy(that exists a lot on this planet)can separate people from what is really happening to them. How people can go into weird alter states and experience all kinds of crazy experience that can be confused with reality.
I do the extremely hard/difficult spiritual training(not going into detail here) required to be in extremely healthy physically and spiritually and gain a very strong spiritual connection to reality. I put myself into the really difficult and challenging spiritual/physical states that can really test how well my beliefs help me handle reality at its most intense. I am able to handle really heavy doses of reality well. The sources I tend to trust are going to be those that align with my very serious and rational spiritual focus that come from my training and the beliefs I have developed to enable me to handle such training.
I have found that the people that tend to be quite lose in what they believe and accept as real, are not the types that could ever value what I have to offer to this world due to a lifetime of intense work in the spiritual area. People with low standards as to what they consider as valid can not appreciate those who have really high standards when it come to finding out what is true or works well spiritually.

The importance of having spiritual beliefs that function well in this challenging physical reality we exist in
I believe the stronger we connect to the physical reality we exist in and share with others, the closer we will be able to connect with God who maintains this reality for our benefit. I believe this challenging physical reality we exist in can really test how good our spiritual beliefs really are. That we all need to work hard to improve our spiritual beliefs and training techniques so that we can be more effective in transforming the world around us into a better place to exist in. I see this world as being very messed up spiritually because the dominant spiritual beliefs that exist here are inadequate. That life, and the spiritual that tends to reflect life, are very complicated and overly simplistic beliefs are not good enough to explain either. That just like in any other subject we strive to master the knowledge of, we will start at the beginning by learning the more simple stuff, but as we progress we will be able to handle more of its complexity.
I do have my extremely intense spiritual/physical exercises(mostly meditative and cardiovascular) I am able to do that are able to put me into really challenging and difficult physical/spiritual states, that give me a really heavy dose of reality when I do them, and tests how well my belief are able to help me handle such challenging states. How well ones beliefs can handle really tough challenges tells one a lot of how good they are and can help one to figure out ways to improve them. I am very much into the value of the physical-spiritual connection.
It is important to search for ways to improve ones spiritual belief using all serious sources one can find, as well as ones creativity and the process of trial and error. One can often learn a lot from others who have led challenging lives and have learned a lot spiritually as a result. I have found that people who ignore outside feedback from others a lot often can lose touch with reality. It is very important to listen to, and bounce ones view of reality off of those due to their experience and expertise are capable of giving one really good feedback

Taking spiritual responsibility for improving the spiritual state this planet is in.
We must understand that it is up to us to be responsible for improving the spiritual state this world is in. I feel people need to understand that it is up to them to do the hard spiritual/physical training and deep spiritual thinking and testing(through trial and error)required to develop or understand better how the spiritual works. Looking to spirits/beings not incarnated on or native to this planet to do the work for us is just not going to work that well and has not done well for us in the past. I feel that a lot of people on this planet have not had their spiritual beliefs challenged/tested enough, so are able to hold on to fantasy/luxury type beliefs that can only do well under really sheltered conditions, but would not hold up to the stress of facing a really heavy and difficult dose of reality.
People who are well aware personally of the serious problems that exist on this planet, will tend to get very practical in their spiritual beliefs, because luxury type beliefs just would not be stripped down enough to that which works the best on a basic mechanical level spiritually. Being overindulgent in the type of spiritual beliefs we have can render us with not enough of a serious/efficient focus spiritually in order to rationally address the really complex and difficult problems of the highly advance technological age we now exist in. We live in an age where a lot of people live overly indulging/permissive lifestyles and tend to have spiritual beliefs that mirror this. A lot of our problems in this world are the result of this type of an overindulging/permissive lifestyle. If we are to straighten out this world spiritually, we are going happen to focus more on what really counts.
These indulgent spiritual beliefs will not help one to do the spiritual training required to become in the type of physical/spiritual shape that will help one to handle the really intense stress of taking on the really intense spiritual challenges that exist here now on this Earth. Listen to the news if you are not spiritual aware enough of the challenges that exist here on this Earth at this time. We have to do our part spiritually to transform the conditions on this Earth and we must do our part spiritually to improve our spiritual beliefs so as to do so. People who specialize in the spiritual can really work hard to come up with better spiritual beliefs and training techniques. And those with other specialties required on this Earth can learn what they personally need to know about the spiritual from these spiritual specialists so that they can best contribute what they have to offer to this world. Different people have different abilities the can develop and contribute.
We need to have really high spiritual standards as to the type of world we exist in, and not be overly tolerant/permissive of spiritual beliefs that are not good enough to uphold a really high standard. We can not please everyone spiritually when we are into doing everything it takes to get into the best condition physically/spiritually. But, sometimes it is more important to focus on what really works than pleasing people or winning a spiritual popularity contest. When one focuses on what really works spiritually one will reach and connect with the people that count the most when it comes to making a positive difference in this world. Sometimes one needs to focus more on function than looks or appeal.

Improving spiritual belief, the past, and science
I am very much into improving on the spiritual beliefs that have been passed down from the past. I believe the best spiritual beliefs tend to survive(provided they are effectively circulated so as to be adequately tested)because they work. It is often difficult to get people to be receptive to new spiritual beliefs, because people tend to become really attached to beliefs that they are familiar with, and that have a lot of support in this world. It is often comforting to people to have a similar mindset as others. Often people accept certain beliefs/theories about the past, that tend to limit there ability to explore, develop or be receptive to better/new spiritual beliefs. People will often believe that nothing new ever exists and that the ancients had all the spiritual wisdom anyone would ever need. They may even believe that aliens or some really advanced spiritual being(s)gave the ancients really special spiritual knowledge.
Often people will try to use science or a scientific approach to try to back up the spiritual beliefs they want to hang on to. But, the spiritual is not a science. A lot of things are not really thoroughly proven by science, because often not enough evidence exists. When the evidence is not very solid, people can come up with all kinds of wild theories that they feel fits what evidence does exist. A lot of people are always looking for some sort of extra validation to try to support in some way the spiritual ideology/beliefs they are attached to. We must understand that we can not get all the answers using a scientific approach, since sometimes the evidence is just not good enough. Often false evidence is manufactured or the evidence that exists can allow for many explanations. One just has to listen to an account of a crime investigation to see how easy it is to draw the wrong conclusions when one does not have really solid evidence.
I believe really strongly that the spiritual beliefs that help one to be able to better handle the big spiritual challenges/crises that one will face in this world are the ones that will be closest to the truth. That it is in this physical world we exist in that our spiritual beliefs are really tested as to how good they are in helping us deal with the very intense challenges that exist here. I believe really good spiritual training will be able to put one into really intense/challenging physical/spiritual states that will make one very aware of what spiritual beliefs are working for you and which are not. If one has not really ever been really challenged/tested as to how well ones spiritual beliefs are able to handle great pressure/stress, then one can not really know how good they really work for you. I do really intense spiritual training, so I speak from personal experience.
I feel it is so important to understand that the spiritual and science are very different. That they must be approached in a very different way in order to make sense of what they focus on. That the material world needs to be studied quite differently than the spiritual is. That often science tries to get too much into the study of the human spirit(using the scientific method) as happens often in the field of psychology/mental health, and those in the spiritual field often get too much in to trying to prove(look for support for)things/theories about the material world that can best be handled by science provided enough evidence exists.
The spiritual is non-material and deals with emotions. The spiritual has a lot of impact on this world since it underlies all of reality and affects how well one can direct ones emotions and desires in a positive direction. We are not just machines, but have a spirit with a lot of power to impact our reality spiritually. Our mind needs to better figure out how the spiritual works, so that we can better interpret what is happening on this level and figure out how to be more effective in a positive way spiritually/emotionally.

Why does God let bad things happen?
We are responsible for the spiritual climate that exists(not God) here on this Earth. If we do not handle sex very well on this planet, rape and other forms of sexual abuse will occur, along with all kind of other harmful consequences resulting from acting irresponsibly in this area. We live in a violent world, since we are not willing to make the strong effort required to try to understand and get along with others who see this world from a different perspective from us. Anger often is misdirected leading to all kinds of harmful/destructive results in this world. Anger can be directed in a constructive way toward improving the spiritual conditions that exist on this planet, but so often it comes out in irrational and destructive way that can lead to people victimizing others.
It is so easy to get in serious trouble in this world with so many people not being that much in control of their behavior and not good at directing themselves emotionally/spiritually in a positive way. We can train ourselves to become stronger and more aware spiritually(get a stronger spiritual connection with reality and God)through:
1. Working to improve ones spiritual beliefs so they help us to better handle the challenging physical reality we exist in.
2. Keeping up on all the serious issues and problems that exist in this world and trying to do ones part to contribute what one can to make this world a better place.
3. Focus on using and improving ones spiritual radar/intuition so as to be able to better sense when one safety is in danger from other people or from circumstances. One can not sense danger if one is not well informed as to all of the likely danger one could face in a given situation or circumstance.
4. Improving ones diet and getting enough quality physical exercise so that one will be really healthy, since being healthy will help one handle a lot more of the challenges of life more effectively and also help one to handle the spiritual/emotional stress that comes from taking on the really strong spiritual challenges life presents us with.
5. Use effective meditative techniques including meditative movement exercises that when done intensely enough put one in very difficult spiritual/emotional states, so that one can learn to better handle such states and the emotions that come with them. One can train oneself to handle all emotions in a positive/constructive way. I have a wordpress post on meditative/mind body exercises.
The reality that God(the universal spirit) maintains for us is set up to serve us very well, provided we do the required work to become effective at dealing with its challenges. These challenges can bring out the most in us spiritually and test how well our spiritual beliefs really work. We can become a lot more capable spiritually on this planet and can improve the spiritual climate that exists here. This Earth is our spiritual responsibility. God will help, provided we do our very vital part.
