My daily exercise routine

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

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

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

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

Meditation is similar to other forms of exercise

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The reason I can push myself harder than anyone else SPIRITUALLY.

l am a neurologically different spiritual pioneer for a reason. One spiritual focus and purpose comes from ones spiritual beliefs/theories. We all live in a spiritually backwards world with us not having the spiritual maturity to handle the very serious problems of this modern world. Toxic spiritual energy saturates our planet as a result.

Being a spiritual pioneer, I have for decades especially since 1980 been working on improving my spiritual theories and meditative exercise techniques. I developed a new astrology system as a result. In the process I had to clean out a lot of toxic energy inside of me. The mind and spirit get impeded by this toxic energy and limits how hard one can push oneself when it comes to extremely hard physical spiritual type training. Even the diet and nutrition required to do this extremely difficult training can not be stayed on if one has too much toxic energy making you crave certain less healthy food or making one unwilling to search for and find the diet and nutritional suppliment program that works best for you even if it not recommended by the medical industry.

An extremely strong mental and spiritual connection with the reality we exist in right now is hard to obtain. Toxic emotional/spiritual energy fogs the mind and makes it hard for one to separate oneself from the conforming masses and the prevailing beliefs that they are so attached to. One can not push yourself extremely hard if your beliefs do not support such an effort level. Ones spiritual grip on reality needs to become stronger in order to be able to have a clear reason to push oneself so extremely hard and do so safely guided by a goal well worth the effort to obtain.

In this spiritually backwards world abuse of all kinds is systematic.

I am aware of this subject personally so will approach it from that perspective. Being born neurologically different with limited visual memory and associated problems that result from that and having limited finer motor skills, I have face this type of abuse in all types of forms my whole life.

It started at an early age for me. The educational system back in the late 1950’s was not equipped to deal with me and taught me in second grade to read using stories that did not interest me enough to easily comprehend. Also could not draw pictures of family members well enough for the teacher to accept them. So ended being held back a grade. A teacher that was insensitive to me made have added to the problem. I did manage to adjust to the educational system, but just got through it in the early grades. In highschool I did do well, but I had to put in an awful lot of focus into it and did have times where I was on the very edge of really messing up, but my developing ability to handle crises got me through. But college was different and demanded more advanced visual memory capabilities and conformity to ideologies and propaganda that were based on collective visions that I could not tune into or relate to. So I did not get anything of value as to the job market from it.

After dropping out of college the first time, I remember going to an employment agency and the slick talking guy getting frustrated by my inability to convince someone to hire me. My interests in the occult and the spiritual was not what they needed. My job I had for a year at the local door factory that I got on my own without help from employment agency was extremely stressful and I had very painful digestive problems most of the time there. My health made a year there about all I could take. I did later serve two years in the Navy, which was the only option I found, but struggled there because of my typing limitations. A lot of fields require quite a bit of visual memory in order to perform them without spacing out and becoming lost as to what to do next. For someone that has normal visual capabilities it is often hard for them to understand this.

After the Navy, which I had no future in due to typing limitations, I had almost 2 years of community college, but found no career path and left despite having the GI bill supporting me. My spiritual skills were not marketable or fully developed at this time and the challenges in my life had made me to deep spiritually to put up with the limitations of traditional religions. How I survived is very complicated, but my family did help support my extremely frugal life style an awful lot.

Anyway, I feel I was abused for being neurologically different with unique abilities by both the educational system and the job market. This was the result of a political/economic system set up that was extremely insensitive to anyone who could not readily conform to it. This “one size fits all” mentality permeated all facets of it. Traditional religions and science were both based on this and the job market was so affected by this very limited perspective.

An awful lot of people are abused in our society and become toxic spiritually as a result and hence the USA has an extremely high prison population and the cycle of abuse is quite strong here. But, the rest of the world has a similar abusive climate expressed in different variations.

I find that businesses often set up a business model that does not allow for abuse to be handled well. When someone is abused, a business should have a built in mechanism to help ensure the abuse will be handled well and that the victim of the abuse is not further hurt by rigid one size fits all rules they have in place. People who are different need to be valued since their uniqueness often gives them a special perspective and value that can improve how thing function on the job and in society.

We all need housing and homelessness is a really serious problem in this world. Often domestic type abuse happens in housing, yet people are forced to sign leases that do not have safeguards in them to allow an abuser to readily escape without financial abuse also being added to the situation. I dealt with this type of situation recently with my life threatened and valuable and personal property destroyed with the police coming and doing nothing and now am dealing with the consequences of breaking a lease even though I informed the apartment management about it. They need to eat this expense and make sure in the future they have a better was of handling this. Leases should be easier to get out of when abuse or other serious reasons exist. Any business model that does not allow exceptions for these serious and special circumstance need to be forced to eat the expense involved. We need systemic changes in this world and it all starts on the spiritual level. That is why a neurologically different spiritual pioneer like me is needed in this world.

I found out recently in a blood test that my red blood cells were too big and that my thyroid gland was not producing enough hormones. Two B vitamin deficiencies(B12, and folate)usually cause that problem which main symptom is anemia. I told the doctor that I took a lot of those vitamins and was on a training program to become healthier. I had just left the abuse situation in Las Vegas and moved to San Antonio with my sister’s help. But with the energy demands of getting help from the VA to find housing my health had been affected. But the doctor told me that I was probably not absorbing the vitamins and further blood test needed to be done and was monologuing and not listening to me explain how different I was from other people. Telling me my nutritional plan didn’t work and that I was not my handling my health well on my own just instantly turned me against this doctor and I refused the further blood tests.

I then proceeded to do mostly slow meditative runs of over 100 miles a week for the next 5 weeks The type of meditative running I do, I designed myself and no one else’s does the way I do them. They are extremely difficult to do. I had adequate energy and did not feel anemic before the blood test and I definitely did not feel anemic while doing all that running, although I am now only doing about 60 miles a week. (Edit: 6 miles a day in a morning and evening run now) I am good at research and did thoroughly research the conditions the doctor told me I had and took my own path to deal with it. A neurologically different body is harder for the medical field to handle.

I hope this gives you food for thought. It is hard to cover so much at once in such a broad subject.

I work hard to avoid needing the Medical Industry

I avoid needing the medical industry by taking really good care of myself. So many people are sick because they do not work much at all at living a healthier lifestyle. The medical industry gets people reliant on all sorts of prescription drugs that sometimes can actually weaken their immune system, which can be already weak as a result of over indulging in overly refined foods and not exercising themselves enough in mind, body, and spirit. Addictive recreational drugs and alcohol can add to this problem.

The coronavirus has a lot of easy victims in this country as a result. The spiritual plays a very strong role in keeping people healthy and alive. I know this since I have such an extreme spiritual focus that has helped me survive in a world that has done a lot to do me in, but failed because of my strong will to survive and achieve my purpose for being here. Being born neurological different with unique spiritual abilities, I have found that the over emphasis of one size fits all that science is so spiritually stuck on has not worked well for me or for so many other people on this spiritually backwards world. The spiritual just plays such a strong role in helping keep one healthy! I have so much spiritual information on this wordpress site that can help improve ones spiritual programming. Please skim through it and find that which is useful to you!

Health, healing and the Spiritual!

The spiritual plays a very strong role in helping us stay healthy and doing what it takes to become healthier! It takes really hard work to become healthier especially if you have certain vulnerabilities that make this more difficult! But, overcoming vulnerabilities and healing oneself is important if one is to reach a high level of physical and spiritual health! Scientists/medical professionals have limitations in areas that the spiritual plays a strong role in, but tends to be too arrogant to admit this and can often sound like they are preaching to people spiritually! Healing requires a wholistic effort and we need to advance a lot further in the spiritual on this spiritually backward planet if we are to better face the serious problem of the present and those that are coming in the future! All this polarization and unwillingness to see all sides of the complex issues of our times will lead to more crises in the future on this planet. Things are a lot more complex than most people realize!

My spiritual meditative running training focuses on precision, so it is slower since this takes a lot of energy to do! Expertise and precision go together and require a good grip on reality to master! Handling fear well helps one to develop expertise and handle the lessons and failure and mistakes that comes with it! Fear of failure helps one achieve an awful lot! Advancing spiritually is not easy! Getting healthier is also not easy! Getting a strong spiritual grip on life and reality is not easy! I have so much information on the internet that has not yet broke through the wall that is put up by the establishment that controls what information reaches the public! New ideas that are challenging to the status quo on this planet will always find it difficult to break through and overcome the resistance that old ideas that already have as a result of an awful lot of psychic support provided them from believers in them!

This wordpress site has a huge amount of spiritual information in my blog posts here representing a lifetime of extreme focus in this area!  I was born differently able neurologically which made this extreme focus a requirement for my survival and ability to contribute something of value to this world!  Please skim through my posts and find those that are of value to you spiritually!

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

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

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

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

More thoughts on the Coronavirus and seeing the whole picture better spiritually

Our world really lacks the spiritual unity to really effectively deal with this virus! So many companies are more interested in taking advantage of the crises which is also true with political parties! It takes a lot of united effort to find solutions to serious problems and this all starts on the spiritual level! Becoming healthier so as to be able to individually fight off getting harmed by this virus also requires advancing further spiritually!

Destroying our economy hurts an awful lot of people! This virus can do more harm to people overall by this means! People who are already disadvantaged in our economy are also dying at a higher rate! Our health care industry really needs to get its act together! Science does not work that well when it is not spiritually aware enough!

I can not effectively reach people with my spiritual ideas when I am trapped in my home and unable to interact that well with people directly! The internet does not seem to help people like me get my ideas out that well! Giving up our social connections with others and civil liberties is another way this virus is harming us! All costs on our society as a whole have to be taking into account when evaluating a good strategy for effectively dealing with it! We need to become more spiritually unified in our effort to find solutions and the best solutions taking the complete picture into account!

Alcohol causes a lot of death as do many things in our society including not eating healthy enough and getting enough exercise! Spiritual exercises can also help us not die as easily! People also often takes risks in our society that are allows such as cliff climbing and other high risk trill seeking activities! Seeing the whole picture more clearly requires more spiritual advancement!

Dealing with the coronavirus crises!

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

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