God, The Universal Spirit

My spiritual theory related to God(the universal spirit) is that God is the spirit that maintains our physical reality in away that serves  our spirits needs for its continuous existence and purpose well provided we do the work required to properly understand and utilize it.  The Universe God provides is designed very well to serve our benefit.  God is limited in God’s function and it is up to us(as individual spirits) to do the work to make the physical reality  we exist in better serve us.     God is not responsible for the spiritual state we are in or the world around us is in: we are individually and collectively!

Life is cyclic with in our current life and beyond this life into future lives.  The struggle of life is a positive thing and we do best to embrace this struggle and make the most of it rater than trying to escape from it and reality.   The more we are connected spiritually to this challenging reality we exist in the more we are connected to God.

The image of an autocratic God that condemns some people(individual spirits) to eternal torture  and others eternal pleasure is not one that helps us to function at our best spiritually in this physical reality we exist in and can not escape from.

It is up to the inhabitants of this planet to make a positive difference here!

So often people look for or expect help from the “outside” to somehow change the conditions on this planet for them or provide them with a better place to exist in after they die. But, why should they deserve a better place to exist in if they are not willing to do the really hard work required in order to make the changes required in order to improve the conditions they now have in their life as individuals and as part of a bigger society?
What has happened in the past or what people want to believe happened in the past has a strong impact on what people expect to happen in the future and how it will come about. People who believe most of humanities past achievements especially in ancient times were mainly the result of the help of “ancient astronauts” or that only certain “special” individuals born with a “special” connection with God have provided us regular human inhabitants of this Earth with special knowledge to help us understand how things work spiritually, will tend not to be so willing to do the work required to achieve amazing things themselves in order to make a real difference in the physical/spiritual knowledge/conditions that exist on this planet.
Our spiritual progress on this planet is being held back by “autocratic type” spiritual beliefs from “special” sources that supposively give us the “Truth” that can not be questioned or improved on. This sets up a spiritual status quo that is very hard to change on this planet, and since the spiritual underlies everything, really limits what progress we can make on this planet. And we do need to progress a lot further on this planet if we are to advert quite negative consequences in its future. Amazing things may have been achieve by ancient civilizations, but these advance civilizations of the past did not survive in their advanced state. They may have been as advanced spiritually as we are now, but that may have not been good enough spiritually to ensure their survival in an advanced state. I believe the amazing things achieved by these ancient civilizations(pyramids etc., that scientists have a hard time figuring out) were made by the native inhabitants that existed there, without any need for outside intervention! I believe human being have been very capable for quite some time on this planet.
I believe we, the individual spirits that are incarnated on this Earth, are the prime spiritual forces that are responsible for creating the conditions that exist here. Our Universe has a universal spirit that underlies it and provides it with the necessary degree of unity required for it to function adequately. God, the universal spirit, just makes sure that the challenging physical reality we exist in is able to serve us well provided we do the required work to understand it and to perform well in it! God makes us earn whatever results we achieve here.
I feel that we, the incarnated inhabitants of this planet, are the ones with the spiritual power here. That any positive change that occurs here will be up to us. I believe God will only help those who do the required work to deserve/earn God’s help. I see God as existing in order for us to have a physical reality that enables us to exist. That if individual spirits like us did not exist, God would not exist. That a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship exists with each requiring each other in order to exist and perform their important roles.
The main point I am trying to make is that it is up to us and our efforts individually and collectively to make a positive difference on this planet physically and spiritually. We do not need to depend on outside forces to do it for us. We do need to learn more of how this universe functions both physically and spiritually and do the hard work required to tune into the Universal Spirit(God)in order to help us do this.

Spirits that connect with us and give us guidance

My belief in the vital/indispensable connection of the physical and the spiritual, and the importance of having the parts of the brain that deals with the spiritual very well trained through physical-spiritual exercises affects what I believe, and in turn help me to value these extremely rough&challenging exercises enough to put myself through them.

We attract kindred spirits(who are between lives)our way that will attach themselves to us, until they find a new body that fills their need in their next life. A spirit requires the part of the brain that deals with the spiritual to enable it to function(operating on the proper level that it needs to function at). When incarnated in the type of body with the proper brain for its spiritual requirements, the spirit is able to do a lot on its own in the physical world it is part of and has responsibilities toward. But, when the body loses its ability to support the spirit’s needs(through its spiritual brain function), it must abandon the body(let it die) and find another way to gain the connection with the physical machinery(brain function)to keep operating spiritually. Since a new body to meet its needs will not be immediately available, the spirit will temporarily find a kindred spirit to attach to that will share the needed brain function with them required to maintain their continued existence. In return this spirit can give one guidance, but will not be able to take over the body that one has obtained ownership/command of through growing up with it and developing it.

There exists spirits that are kept in existence by being fed by the power of beliefs of groups of like believers. These spirits will be connected to a number of spirits with brains with advanced enough spiritual function to support them. God is the necessary universal spirit that keeps our physical reality functioning well and is automatically supported by the spiritual parts of the brains of all biological bodies that have such function. My beliefs have been developed as a result of deep well reasoned spiritual thinking helped with the spiritual strength and awareness that my intense physical-spiritual training has provided me with.

Nobody has a perfect spiritual connection with God, and will connect with God and other spirits on the level they are capable of based on their spiritual development.  So the guidance one gets will only be as good as what our spiritual development enables.  Our intuition will never be perfect, but can be improved with proper training and then help us to connect with better spiritual guidance from what ever spiritual source we are able to make a connection with.

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.

I have worked hard to developed a better spiritual belief system

I am not on a spiritual journey(or path) just traveling through this world, I am just focusing on trying to better contribute what I have spiritually to offer to making this physical world I exist in now a better place. I am “differently abled’ with very strong capabilities in the spiritual area. I have a body that is “differently abled” because my spirit requires such a body to do what it does best. I try to work extremely hard to excel in the spiritual area, similar to other spirits with bodies who work hard to excel in other important fields vital to our spiritual and physical existence in the present here.

I do not have a spiritual beliefs system that devalues the importance of the physical reality we exist in and do not believe an individual type spirit can survive and function well without a body in physical world. My belief system is tailored so as to help people be the most effective at helping to improve the spiritual and physical conditions that exist here on this Earth. Our ability to perform well spiritually in the physical reality we exist in demonstrates how advanced we are spiritually. We are responsible for the spiritual state this world is in and can become a lot better at making a positive spiritual difference here.

Collective spirits owe their existence to the power of the beliefs of individual spirits with bodies that enable them to produce the spiritual energy to support such spirits. A physical world is challenging, but a spirit can only prove its capabilities by what challenges it is able to handle. With out the physical/concrete and its challenges, the individual spirit would not have the reason or strength to even exist. God exists out of our need for this physical world and maintains it so that it can best meet our spiritual needs. We need God, so we must support God’s existence in order to maintain our own existence.

I have a complete spiritual beliefs system which is different than those that are readily available(on internet)circulating in this world. I have worked extremely hard to improve my spiritual beliefs and by so doing made them different than those people are really familiar with. Often the familiar resonates with people or feels good to them intuitively. It takes work to have to learn a new` spiritual system because it will be different in a complete way, since spiritual systems must deal with a complete spiritual picture. People have to be really motivated to want to improve their spiritual beliefs system in order to leave the familiar and easy to absorb, and learn something unfamiliar, but better, even though they will find it well worth the effort and the results they get from it.

One can read some of my other blog posts in order to better figure out more about my spiritual belief system.

We live in a time in which great spiritual innovation can happen.

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.

Due to comments when I posted this elsewhere I added this to this blog:

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.

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

The different types of spirits

I was thinking about this when doing my really intense and difficult meditative run. I do stay quiet and concentrate really hard during a good portion of my meditative run, but I can not keep my mind quiet the whole time. Spiritual beliefs that I need to further improve on will tend to come to the surface when in the intense spiritual state the meditative run puts me in.

I will start with us, the individual spirits who play a specific unique spiritual roles in a specific locations in our vast universe. Individual spirits are the prime spiritual activists in the universe and can have a very strong spiritual impact on the part of the world they are able to influence. They must do the inner work required to build up their spiritual strength and awareness in order to improve the type of spiritual influence they have over their immediate environment and on those other spirits/people they interact with. Individual spirits can only be really effective at having a positive and healing impact on the challenging physical world that they are part of, if they themselves are really healthy physically and spiritually. One can not handle the stress of taking on a heavy spiritual workload if ones body is not really healthy. Spiritual strength comes from overcoming the resistance that only a challenging physical world can provide. One can develop ones spiritual strength and awareness by: 1. Training to be able to really intense meditative exercises(which can include meditation in all sorts of positions, slow meditative walking, slow meditative running, and meditative stretching or other slow movement exercises). Really good meditative and physical exercises should help one to handle really intense emotions of all kinds which is important because emotions power the spiritual and one needs to learn to handle all of the spectrum of emotions really well so that one can direct their energy in a positive direction. 2. Working hard at maintaining a really healthy diet designed to work really well for you with what ever nutritional supplements one finds helps. Frequent small meals and keeping one in a challenging healthy hunger range will tend to sharpen up ones spiritual energy and keep it serious. It is a really fine line between being really healthy physically and spiritually and overdoing it and harming oneself. 3. and do the really deep spiritual thinking required to find/develop better spiritual beliefs. It is hard to improve on the spiritual beliefs that already have quite a bit of influence in this world. Newer beliefs have less psychic support in this world so need to be a lot better than those that came before them. Intense and difficult meditative and physical training will sort of force one to have to improve on ones spiritual beliefs so that one can better handle the challenging spiritual/physical state they put one in.  Individual spirits always need a physical connection to the world that only a brain properly trained spiritually can provide, so between lives they must connect to kindred spirits incarnated in a physical world with a brain functioning spiritually on the level they are on in order to maintain their existence until they reincarnate again.

Next, there are the collective spirits, that come into existence and are maintained by the power of belief of the individual spirits that believe strongly in them. Every beliefs system in this world will create/maintain a collective spirit or spirits. Collective spirits that support belief systems may come in may forms/images/personalities.   The spiritual images these collective spirits appear as or support can appear as a visible image at times to the point a picture can actually be taken of them, but they still are spiritual, not physical in nature.  People can often misread things that are spiritual manifestations as physical manifestations and take on  delusional beliefs as a result.  Sometimes a beliefs system may not have a real image representing the collective spirit they have supporting them and may not even think one exists, but that does not matter, since strong beliefs automatically produce collective spirits. Science does tend to create a collective spirit representing its present beliefs. Some collective spirits are used as intermediaries to try to get a better connection with God(the universal spirit). Hypnotism will tend to connect the hypnotist and his client to the collective spirit that represents the beliefs that support their type of hypnotism and will impel the results they desire. The imagination will often do a really good job of doing what it takes to support a particular belief with the help of this collective spirit. Both channeling and hypnotism are very similar and both rely on the collective spirit that support the beliefs required for them to please those they serve. Collective spirits are only as good as the spiritual beliefs that maintain their existence and only function through individuals as well as the spiritual state of that individual allows. Both hypnotism and channeling are not perfect, and will tend to resonate only with those who support the beliefs of the collective spirit that helps to power their results. Hypnotism has been shown to create false memories and has been used to see future lives which is not possible since they have not happened yet. The future is open to being changed for the better spiritually through our actions, which is what gives us our spiritual purpose.

Then there is the universal spirit(God). Our physical/spiritual reality requires a spirit that makes it tun mechanically in a way that it can provide a good enough habitat for individual spirits like us to be able to function really well spiritually. When a spirit is needed it will exist out of this need and its existence will be supported by those who require it. Our reality could not function well with out a God that enables this functioning. Some people think that individual spirits like us are God. But, we may function with the mechanics of our reality, and we may become quite good at it, but we will never be able to perform the immense spiritual role God performs. We are limited spiritually by the specific location that we are strongly attached to by means of the body we are incarnated in. Our abilities as individual spirits are not as universal as God, but are very unique and specific to our individual role we have. No one person(individual spirit)can see the whole picture spiritually well enough to become God, because of our need to see the specific individual picture that helps us perform our specific role in the specific area we are located and in the specific area of expertise our existence in a physical world and time demands from us. As we train really hard spiritually-physically and increase our ability to handle a heavier dose of reality and the intense emotions that come with it, we will be able to develop a stronger connection with God.

In astrology, the Moon represents the inner individual spirit, Neptune represents the outer individual group spirit, and the Galactic Center(universal spirit) represents God.

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.

Where I am coming from spiritually

My main focus is in being innovative in the spiritual area. I am a spiritual independent, free to find/develop the best spiritual beliefs and training techniques possible. I understand that different people use differing means to gain a better connection with the universal spirit(God)and thus to reality. There exists a degree of spiritual oneness that helps to make our reality work really well, some people may not see this spirit of oneness as God. I feel we can often get too caught up in semantics and labels.

This physical reality we exist in can really test how good our spiritual beliefs really are at helping us perform under pressure. I do not believe God(the universal spirit) endorses any particular religion. One can not perform really well spiritually without a very good connection with God and reality. Individual spirits like us play a big role in creating the spiritual conditions that exist in this world. It is up to us to improve the spiritual conditions within ourselves and in the world around us. God will help provided we do the required work to earn the results.
