Developing good spiritual judgment/character

It is important we all are(especially children) are trained to have good spiritual judgment.  Often it is not easy to figure out or intuitively sense the difference between healthy/positive/constructive behavior and unhealthy/negative/destructive behavior.  Practical spiritual beliefs/programming, along with the healthy type of spiritual/physical training these beliefs should inspire one to do, should help one to become better able to sense how to progress in a direction that will be good for your well being.  One needs to develop a good spiritual rudder to help steer oneself in a positive/healthy spiritual direction in all of ones behaviors.  The more one is tuned into oneself spiritually, the more one will be able to tune into others, so one can interact  with them in a healthy way spiritually.  Hard/serious physical/spiritual training can help one to better tune into the very hard/serious problems that exist in this world, the people most affected by these problems, and the spiritual causes of these problems.  Cardiovascular/heart exercise, meditative exercise, and a strict healthy diet(with nutritional supplements if needed)can help one to become able to more tune into the serious side of life, so that one can better figure out how to create serious positive consequences in ones life/world and avoid serious negative consequences in ones life/world.

It is so easy to get hurt when training ones body really hard in order to become really healthy physically and spiritually.   There is a fine line between safely pushing oneself extremely hard, and pushing oneself too hard and harming/injuring oneself.  Practice can help one to better develop the body awareness and intuition to become good at sensing this spiritual fine line.  But, one needs to have the practical spiritual beliefs that enable one to handle really the intense physical/spiritual states that hard/difficult physical/spiritual training involves.  Physical/spiritual training includes meditative movement exercises like the meditative walking&running that I have developed on a very intense level, and cardiovascular exercise like the dumbbell swing exercise I do.  It takes a long period of time to become good at these types of physical/spiritual exercises, and to adjust ones diet so that it supports ones ability to do these well.  One will find that a lean/leaner body will help one to better tune in spiritually when doing intense physical/spiritual training.  I find that the leaner my body becomes, the more important it is that I exercise even more intensely, so that my body will be able to be fit enough to handle being really lean.  Everyone does not have to become really lean, but they need to figure out what weight works best for giving them the spiritual/physical health they require to be able to perform their mission/purpose here in this life.

I feel people(like me) who specialize in the spiritual require the extra spiritual strength and awareness that a really lean well trained(cardiovascularly&meditatively) body without much extra muscle can provide.   People who use calorie restricted diets for life extension often have very low body weight, but are very healthy because of the very nutritious diet they are on.  In the past spiritual people have often used an austere lifestyle and diet to help their spiritual development, but they did not have the scientific knowledge we have today to help them do this in the healthiest way.  We have the knowledge today, that was not available in the past to be able to be able to make a lot more progress spiritually.  But, since we now live in an age in which overly permissive lifestyles(along with supportive overly tolerant/permissive spiritual beliefs) tend to be popular, it can be hard to not be controlled by a spiritual mindset, that is antagonistic to anything that is really difficult/challenging spiritually .

I have a lot of  blog posts on this site covering in more detail the type of training and beliefs that should work really well to improve ones spiritual/physical well being!

5/6/2016:  I have changed my training routine and have put on extra weight since printing this blog post.  I got a lot of good spiritual insights and improved my training when on this extremely austere(calorie restricted) diet I was on at that time.  I am now getting stronger in my training as a result of the weight gain which involves a combination of muscle and fat.  My strict diet has not changed except that I am not restricting calories as much.  I now eat small meals when ever my body gets hungry(8 meals every 3 hours around the clock).  I an training extremely hard and depending on the difficulty of my physical/spiritual training to keep me extremely healthy physically and spiritually.

Improving on ones spiritual beliefs!!!

It is not easy improving on ones spiritual beliefs/understanding. One needs to first train oneself physically and spiritually to be able to handle more of what is true spiritually. Then one has to do the deep thinking required to develop or find better spiritual beliefs. Then one has to test how well those new beliefs help one to be more tuned into this challenging physical reality one exists in right now. A lot of trial and error and hard work is involved in improving anything, including ones spiritual beliefs.

Autocratic spiritual/religious beliefs are holding back further spiritual advancement

I just had a strong spiritual interaction/conversation with two “Christians” that came to my door to convert me.  I am sure I shocked them with my very different spiritual approach.  That is what motivated me to write this.  I strongly disagree with autocratic religious/spiritual beliefs that claim they have or are connected to perfect sources. I am not a Christian or member of any religion.I am into improving on the spiritual beliefs of the past and present, because I do not believe they are adequate for the advanced technological age we now live in. The predominating autocratic(not open to being questioned)spiritual/religious belief systems that exist on this Earth(including many”New Age” types)can be very attractive because of the “herd mentality” that exists in this world where people gain security and acceptance in the area they live by accepting a belief system that has a lot of believers there and thus sharing a similar spiritual mindset as a lot of people. People who have an independent spiritual mindset of the type that actually works at obtaining/developing beliefs that interface better with the physical reality we exist in right now, I believe are very rare here on this Earth.

Science may try to help us better interface with our reality, but often does not do the best job at this. Scientists are affected by what spiritual beliefs they have(or lack there of), which limits how good they are at finding out more of the truth. In some areas science can come up with hard results that will prove to work every time. But, often they come up with less reliable results, and sometimes they put forth theories that are very wild and difficult to prove as to their accuracy. In the past religion use to not know its limits and try to explain everything from their ideology and use to hold science back because of their immense power an influence in this world. Often science is doing the same in the modern world with its increasing dominance in fields in which the spiritual plays a very strong role such as psychology and medicine(healing). But, this invasion of spiritual areas by science is made easier by the lack of advancement in this world(the Earth)in the spiritual field of study. Sometime “spiritual” people will even take some of the more wild or complicated of scientific theories and use them to try to justify their beliefs.

One can design ones spiritual beliefs so that they help one to better perform in this challenging physical reality we now exist in.  One can do the type of physical-spiritual training(including very intense meditative movement and cardiovascular/heart exercises and a very effective diet) that will test how well one’s spiritual beliefs help one to handle really intense and difficult spiritual/emotional/physical states.  Science(especially in Medicine and Mental Heath fields) often dismisses the importance of “will power” or spiritual character and effective spiritual training and beliefs to alter how one is able to behave and function in this world.  Science, just often does not appreciate the huge value the spiritual can have in helping us better handle our physical and spiritual health and well being.  Science often does not take individual differences physically and spiritual into account enough.  I strongly believe the spiritual beliefs that enable one to handle this challenging physical reality we exist in will be closer to the truth.  That it is the challenging physical reality that we now exist in that really tests how good our spiritual beliefs really are by how well they help us to better perform spiritually.

I believe strongly in the importance of physical-spiritual connection and that actual parts of the brain that deal with emotions and sleep(altered spiritual states)are vital to our ability to perform really effectively spiritually.  Effective spiritual training must affect and help further develop these parts of the brain that impact one spiritual abilities.  They are not easy to impact since they have a sort of “(w)holistic” way of functioning.  The spiritual must deal with the big picture or see how our reality operates as a whole. Spiritual beliefs must deal with reality as a whole in order to help us function better in it.  A certain spiritual oneness and united focus is required in order to mobilize all of ones spiritual resources effectively in order to best deal with the serious problems/challenges this physical reality we are part of presents us with.

My purpose

My “path” or purpose is not into accepting the status quo spiritually in myself, in other people or in the world around me. I am very aware personally about how much this world and its inhabitants needs to improve spiritually, and I have a life’s focus on developing better spiritual beliefs/programming and training techniques so as to help people improve on where they are at spiritually and where they are heading spiritually. I find a lot of spiritual beliefs tune people out to the complex and challenging physical reality we exist in and to the people facing really challenging circumstances in it. We need to be careful about just passing through this life on this Earth spiritually and not really making the most of our time here. Our spirit’s value is shaped by how much we are able to contribute positively to the world we now exist in.  This Earth could be a wonderful place to exist in spiritually if everyone really worked extremely hard to contribute in the way they are best able to making this a better place to exist in physically and spiritually.

Is there such a thing as a better spiritual belief?

Yes, what one believes to be true about the spiritual can be improved on. Good training can tune you into the spiritual a lot better. And as one tunes into the spiritual better one can improve on ones spiritual beliefs so they interface better spiritually with the concrete challenging physical reality we exist in. So many spiritual beliefs tune people out from being effective in this challenging environment we are now in. As one increases the difficulty of the tough spiritual-physical training one does, or as one takes on more difficult spiritual(emotionally tough)challenges in life, one will require spiritual beliefs that are good enough to help one handle them. So many spiritual beliefs do not help one embrace the tough side of life spiritually, but seek a sort of escapism from it. The beliefs in perfect spiritual sources or connections makes one not open enough to improving what one believes. No one has perfect intuition especially in this world as is obvious by how people behave when on autopilot. Gut feeling are often wrong and the heart often misguides people with disastrous results. So many really naive(overly simplistic) beliefs are readily accepted often without much thought. Often people represent and sort of impose their spiritual beliefs on other on their internet posts without thinking they are!

Believing there is no such thing as a better spiritual belief, is a belief that I believe can be replaced with a better belief!

In my life I learned the hard way how important it is to have spiritual beliefs that help one to interface well with this challenging physical reality we all exist in that can really test how well our spiritual beliefs help us function spiritually when we are under a lot of pressure.

A lot of wild spiritual beliefs can come from a persons imagination which do not help them to connect very well spiritually with day to day reality in this physical world they exist in. A lot of religious and spiritual beliefs that are popular(and have a lot of psychic support in this world due to all those who believe in them)that can be readily be found on sites on the internet, tend to motivate people to seek to ultimately escape from the physical reality we are now in, rather than puting all of their spiritual energy they are able into doing the really difficult spiritual work required to positively transform it.

https://astrogoodwin.com/2015/01/06/is-there-such-a-thing-as-a-better-spiritual-belief/

This physical reality of the type that exists on this Earth I believe is spiritually inescapable.

This is how I responded to a forum post at a spiritual site titled “The Earth is too negative” in which some one posted the popular belief that we should focus on escaping the cycle of reincarnation:

I believe reincarnation is a vital part of our reality. I do not see any need to attempt to escape from it. I believe the spirit requires a body in a challenging physical world in order to function at its best. I feel too many spiritual beliefs systems devalue(through the types of beliefs they accept) the importance of a challenging physical world(like the Earth)is to individual spirits like us. So I tailor my spiritual beliefs to make the physical(including having a link to an organic functioning body with function brain and spiritual center in it) indispensable to the spirit. I make sure I have no part of my being desiring anything other than existing and performing well spiritually in a challenging physical world which the Earth is the one I currently am on/in. I believe that the spiritual beliefs that are better at helping us focus and perform spiritually in this challenging physical world we exist right now will be the one closest to the truth.

I do extremely intense and difficult meditative and cardiovascular physical/spiritual exercises that put me in and train me to be able to handle the roughest physical/spiritual states(a sort of spiritual crisis training) that are possible for me. Since I have been focusing on increasing the strength of my spiritual-physical connection though this type of training for a very long time, I am very strong spiritually in connecting with and dealing with this physical reality I exist in right now. My spiritual focus is on improving on the spiritual beliefs and training techniques that exist on this Earth not agreeing with them. I have to have spiritual beliefs/programming that enables me to handle the really heavy doses of reality my training and the conditions that exist in this challenging physical world I exist in provide. As my training has improved and I have gotten better at it, my spiritual beliefs had to also improve so that I had the right mindset required to be motivated to do them and handle them. One can deal with an awful lot if one has spiritual beliefs that are good enough to motivate one to put up with the intense discomfort and difficulty that comes with really challenging spiritual-physical type training. One can train oneself spiritually to be a lot better able to handle and take on in a positive way the huge spiritual challenges that exist on this planet.

I realize that having a spiritual belief system that is constantly being updated with a focus on improving on the spiritual beliefs now existing, dominating and spiritually impacting this planet will not “resonate” well with those who are attached in a sort of unquestioning acceptance of some of those prevalent spiritual beliefs systems which often have popular websites one can visit on the internet in order to have ones spiritual beliefs supported and reinforced. I am a spiritual independent free to find/develop the best spiritual beliefs I am able without being held back by some “perfect” autocratic type spiritual ideology that is blindly accepted in a world where perfect spiritual sources/connections are believed to exist.

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.

You can improve your spiritual radar(intuition)so that it will better guide one’s life’s decisions

One can train oneself spiritually in a way to improve ones spiritual radar(intuition). We all need to work at improving our spiritual programming/beliefs in order to help our intuition better guide us. The fact that so many people make really poor decisions when the act instinctively or while following their heart(or gut feelings)is reflected in the really bad shape this world is in spiritually. One true spiritual state comes out when one acts in a more automatic way. People judge others all the time based on their intuition(gut feeling)or what they feel in their heart. From my experience in how people tend to judge me, they are often way off in these intuitive/automatic judgments the make. We are guided on the intuitive level a lot more than we are consciously aware of and often not leading us to very great results as individuals or collectively in this world. I have developed a certain degree of trust in my intuition as a result of all the spiritual training I do and work I do to improve my spiritual beliefs so they better interface with the physical reality we exist together in that can really challenge us spiritually and demonstrate how effective our spiritual guidance system is. There is actually a part of the brain that deal with the spiritual and intuition that can be further developed and better connected with other parts of the brain so that it can help one whole brain be able to function with more intuitive support. What resonates with us is determined by our intuition. We need to have intuition trained/developed in such a way so that better spiritual beliefs will resonate with us. Our ability to connect(tune in) more strongly on the spiritual level helps us better figure out what spiritual beliefs best represent how the spiritual functions.

Read my other blogs and this one in particular to help you train your intuition:

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
