I live in Houston and felt a lot of the spiritual impact of Hurricane Harvey

I am always training hard in order  to get stronger and more aware spiritually!  #Hurricane #Harvey did test me when it came within inches of flooding my home when we had around 20 inches of rain Saturday night.  I was lucky, others in #Houston and #Texas were not so lucky!  A great deal of spiritual trauma will be left in its wake that will last for decades!  People who are familiar with me realize I have the most extreme creative spiritual focus one could have.  I have developed better spiritual theories(including a new @astrology system based on them) and meditative exercise techniques that are really good at helping people to cope with life at its most challenging and the trauma that comes with it.  I am not that good at anything else due to being “differently abled” neurologically with limited visual memory and limited finer motor skills, that is why I am so good at what I do!  My uniqueness has made survival extremely rough for me making me live life in a sort of continuous crisis!  This has been advantageous to my #spiritual development since I utilize this to develop crisis oriented spiritual training techniques.  I always have to see how I can turn what appears to be negative into a positive, since that is the only way I can survive in this spiritually backward world that is often very hostile(unknowingly)to people like me.  In times of crises we need to utilize more of our unique human resources and we have a lot of people who have special talents that we are not utilizing at this time.  We need to develop enough spiritual maturity to value as much of our human capabilities within ourselves and within our society if we are going to better handle the extreme challenges we will face in this future on this planet  During World War II we had to better utilize our human resources when it came to women and minorities which eventually led to changes in our society regarding them!  A lot of “differently abled” people exist in our society who we need to figure out how to take advantage of what capabilities they have or can develop with proper training geared to what special abilities they possess!

I have a huge amount(a book worth) of spiritual stuff on the internet which can be found by doing a search on my internet name “astrogoodwin”.  I really need people to gt the word out about me, since I am being ignored by a world that is so often trapped in mindsets that limit its ability to be open to anything really new and challenging  in the spiritual area especially that which has a very strong physical reality based focus.   I have around 90 youtube videos I created with my business partner Michelle Ronquillo that have not yet got many viewers!  New ideas do have to go against resistance since they do not have all the psychic/spiritual support that others ideas have that have so many believers in them.  Spiritually, believers have a lot of spiritual impact on this world and the power of belief creates a lot of spiritual support.energy that helps certain ideas become more easily accessible than ideas that lack this powerful support believer’s create  So, it is so important that key people who have the spiritual strength and desire required to make the effort to understand and see the value in new spiritual ideas so that they can influence others to do so also!  Most people in this world are followers, so key individuals need to become the leaders in any spiritual movement powered by better spiritual theories and training techniques.  I have  so many good blog posts on this wordpress site, but one has to go through the trouble to skim down the 144 of them which is not made easy by how this site is constructed!

8/13/17:  I am still on my diet of 1600 calories with 5 meals a day and still doing my rigorous meditative exercise program involving doing things only I can do, since I developed the technique and have the spiritual intensity and awareness to handle them psychologically and to pull them off safely! I now weigh 126 lbs at 5′ 10″. The intensity of Harvey may have taken off a little weight. But, I have now adjusted spiritually to the level of intensity that a storm that strong can create by doing all the meditative walking I did in it. My legs are recovering quickly from the soreness and aches this created with the wading through flood waters and walking in flip flops which can be quite difficult and require quite a bit of care that creates a lot of tension in the legs!

Why I am able to do things spiritually others are not able to!

1.  I was born with limited visual memory(good at core structural visuals only) . Also had related limited finer motor skills(one can not do what one can not visualize doing).

2.  Compensated for limitations with creativity and intuition to help me handle all the many situations in life I faced with a lack of visual familiarity. This helped me to become really aware spiritually, an area I was born with a lot of natural ability in.

3.  Did play creatively in the spiritual starting at an early age, but not in a way very different from other people. Did play around creatively with trying to develop a new astrology system, but not much differently than a lot of other astrologers  did. Also did push my limits with aerobic exercise as well as experimented with meditative techniques, but not in a way that really made me stand out that much from others. BUT, This all changed in March, 1992 at the age of 40. Then when trying to reach the public with my ideas I felt the extreme pressure that come with presenting anything really different to the media and public and after 2 resulting near death experiences, that I know only someone as determined as me could have survived, I was willing to really focus on moving in a direction no one else would be able to or see a reason to! Link to near death experiences:

4. After 1992 I worked at developing new really advanced meditative(breathing) techniques and exercises that were designed increased my spiritual connection with reality by strengthening my physical-spiritual connection. The physical is resistant in nature so is able to give one the spiritual strength to cross barriers others can not. It also can challenge one in a way that can bring out the most in you spiritually. Today, we have so many problems in this world related to our inability to adequately handle the problems this physical world we exist in presents us with! Here are links to my meditative exercises and really intense dumbbell swing exercise:

5.  I have a diet without anything in it that act as a drug with means no herbs or condiments! My vegan diet(which evolved over a lifetime of experimentation) of mostly Oatmeal, canned greens, some tomatoes and vitamin/mineral supplements was designed for me individually to help me handle an extremely intense physical-spiritual training program! I do also do an intense frantic 3/4 of a mile run pretty much every day! I do not use coffee(caffeine)like most other runners, since I do not want anything interfering with my natural spiritual attunement to my body and how I am able to read it and figure out exactly how hard I can safely push it and in what way. When one pushes the body in a way that no one else is able you must be extremely sharp spiritually with no drugs/chemicals interfering with how you are tuned in spiritually to your body. One needs to rely on the drugs/chemicals the body itself produces and utilizes based on its perceived need.

6.  After 1992, I did develop a very unique astrology system that evolved as the intensity and effectiveness of my meditative/spiritual training/exercise techniques evolved. This astrology system is not some variation of a traditional astrology system(does not have signs or houses)and is not mythology based. It was developed with an emphasis on applying as much logic to it as possible along with utilizing my intuition/understanding of how the spiritual actually works. It was my spiritual tuning device that had to work well for to enable me to do incredibly intense spiritual training safely. So when ever I was not happy with my spiritual progress, I would have to figure out ways of improving my astrology system and the spiritual theories that where utilized in designing its structure. Spiritual training I find may bring one some inspiration, but intense thinking is required to further refine any raw inspiration into something very functional in this challenging reality we exist in. My mind has pushed the limits very often in my life especially after 1992 with a trial and error process applied over and over. Creativity involved a lot of trial and error mostly error. I have tested this astrology system not only on myself but on the charts of 20 celebrities and numerous charts I have done for people I have known in my life.

No one I am sure has done anything like me, so as a result I am able to do things in the practical physical-spiritual direction that nobody else can do. I understand that most people stay within the comfort zone that having a similar mindset and personality as a lot of other also have. Few people really get outside of this spiritual comfort zone since it is very scary and difficult to do. Also it is very hard to survive in a world like this that demands such a high degree of spiritual conformity from its inhabitants. Only people who are born with an inability to conform can really become the pioneers that open new doors in this world. Often necessity(desperation)is the mother of invention and individual and societal crisis is required in order for what it takes for really positive creative change to happen in this world.

The physical-spiritual connection and delusions

It is so important that one develops a strong spiritual connection to the challenging physical reality one exists in right now on this Earth! Spiritual strength comes from this connection with this resistant substance that challenges us and brings out more of what we are capable spiritually. We need to be focused on the hard reality that this physical substance provides. Spiritually what we put our energy into becomes real to some degree. The problem is that if what we put our energy into spiritually does not align well with the physical reality we are all spiritually connected to, then it takes a lot of extra energy into it to support it! The more delusional a belief, the more energy is wasted supporting that belief and the less one is able to maintain a strong grip on the hard reality we are part of. People who are quite delusional in what they believe spiritually can be quite confident in their beliefs especially if they are part of a group or organization that helps support that delusional belief.

In times of crisis is when beliefs(spiritual theories) get really challenged as to how well they actually work. Those who train their body hard doing exercises that improve the physical-spiritual connection require spiritual theories that really enhance their connection to reality in order to do them and do them safely! Doing spiritual crisis style training helps one to get a stronger spiritual connection to reality so that one will be drawn to spiritual theories that really work well in our reality. Actions and results count a lot in this challenging reality we are part of. Those who actually do the hard work required to become strong and aware spiritually can become really confident spiritually as a result of how well their training works and how well they know they can perform in a crisis situation. People who are delusional can project a lot of confidence and be quite arrogant, but are not very reliable when really challenged and the bubble they created to protect their delusion is threatened.

This paragraph added 13 Oct 22: The human body is what helps us connect the spirit to the physical  world around it. My astrology system helps me to better program my body spiritually so I can get more tuned into it  spiritually  and get more out of it….  I  made another improvement in my spiritual astrology system yesterday evening.  I am staying on my special diet despite feeling very hungry.  The body gets a lot of spiritual energy directed at it from others that want it to maintain the status quo.  When you change your body  you change yourself spiritually.  Other people  will  want you to stay the same.  The body is what gives the spirit that inhabits it a protective and supportive structure to maintain  its spiritual strength and attunement.   It tends to support  the status quo. My hard physically spiritual meditative training  and diet force the body to transform in a way to become  more helpful  in backing up my spiritual mission  and  handling the stress that comes with it.  This physical spiritual  connection is extremely important.

This world is heading toward a crisis, since we are not facing reality well enough in a technological age that demand so much more out of us spiritually than any previous period in our history on this Earth! We need to advance a lot more spiritually so that we develop the spiritual maturity(grip on reality)required to effectively deal with the serious problems that exist in this world. When scientific advancement gets ahead of our spiritual maturity to handle it, we must advance further spiritually or we will be in deep trouble. We really need to develop more rational, reality based spiritual theories that help us to better cope with the intense challenges that now exist on this Earth. We really need to become a lot less delusional spiritually.

Addictive delusionary beliefs are like feel good drugs that have harmful side affects

Why is the Earth so messed up spiritually?  When delusionary(fantasy type) beliefs that do not interface well with the physical reality we exist in dominate over rational practical spiritual theories(theories can be questioned and improved on), then the spiritual climate that exists on the Earth will feel the detrimental affects.  In the advanced technological age we now exist in, it is so important that we improve on the spiritual theories we rely on, and cut down on the degree in which we are delusional in our spiritual understandings!  The serious problems that exist in this world require people that have the emotional maturity to handle them!  Some people are not going to let go of their spiritual delusions that come with a lot of the traditional religious/spiritual ideologies that dominate this planet at this time.  I feel they are willing to harm the quality of life they have with these ineffective delusionary beliefs and even die earlier than they should bringing these beliefs with them into their next life.  Effective guiding spiritual theories can enable one to handle reality so much better and to have a strong enough grip on reality to do what it takes to live a healthier lifestyle and to become better at contributing to improving the spiritual state this world is in.

We live in a world were so many people overindulge themselves in so many way and dull their spiritual senses as a result.  When we owns too many possessions or focuses too much on our physical desires we pay a price spiritually.   We have so many things in this world that can take our focus away from the spiritual and harm our ability to get the most out of ourselves.  Spiritual delusions actually are an indulgence that handicaps our spiritual effectiveness, but do tend to have a pleasant drug like affect to them!  The challenging resistant physical reality we exist in with its cycles is not escapable, because it has all the components needed to get the most out of us spiritually!  You will not escape this challenging physical reality by dying,  the cycle of life and death is unending.  As we face continuous challenges in the cycles we go through within this life, so will we face continuous challenges in the cycles we face in future lives. Those who are really strong and aware spiritually are able to see this physical reality in a very positive light and embrace the challenging aspects of it.  We can not transform our planet into a really great place to exist on, without have quite a different spiritual approach than what now predominates here right now.

We need to be guided by spiritual theories that interface really well with the physical reality we exist in right now, so that we will become good at handling the challenges/problems that exist here.  Pain and hardship come with taking on big challenges in life.  The people who achieve the most are those who overcome the most and that do not give up when faced with adversity and discomfort.    We can not transform this world spiritually into a better place to exist on, if we can not tuned into spiritually/emotionally the painful problems that exist here and be thus motivated to do what it takes to find remedies for these problems.   We do not get any spiritual results in this life or any future life if we do not do the required work to earn them!  The spiritual is a uniting force within us that works best when we use all our capabilities.  Working hard will not be very effective if one does not use ones mind really well to figure out(research) what is likely to bring about the best results.

The importance of being grounded in this “insane” world

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

My Astrology System Formula

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Our ability to understand and connect to the physical reality we exist in enables us to advance further spiritually

In the modern age we understand the physical reality(as a result of hard science) we exist in a lot more than in the past.  This can give us quite an advantage when it comes to our ability to advance further in the spiritual area.  In the past, a lot of mythology existed that filled the void that existed due to the lack of hard knowledge about the world we existed in.  The religions(spiritual beliefs)of those times were very much limited by this lack of understanding of the physical world and the mythology  that existed then as a result.  Mythology can have an addicted affect and be hard to wean oneself from, since that which is programmed deeply within ones being is very difficult to alter!   Even today, people who see themselves as spiritual will often choose to disregard the value of credible scientists and buy into crazy/wild beliefs about the past or even the present that do not have enough hard facts to back them up.  Some people do not believe a man landed on the moon!  Others think past civilizations were as advanced as our present one!  Some people even believe aliens from outer space have had a lot of impact on our recent technological  advancements!  Often people will choose to quickly believe extreme(not very well researched) views about this reality  from those that are not accepted by the body of the most credible hard scientists.

Often religious/spiritual people will devalue the spiritual importance of the physical world they now exist in and depend on.  People who devalue the importance of the physical, not only will have trouble developing the will power to get their physical body in a really fit/health state with the improved brain function(including the spiritual/emotional parts of the brain), but also will have trouble having enough will power to take on and find ways to better deal with the very serious problems that exist on this Earth!  This physical world provide the necessary resistance to challenge us spiritually, and to test and develop our spiritual strength and awareness.  The physical world functions in a rational way,  and demands people to develop a higher degree of sanity in order to better understand it and function in it.

Mythology can very much infer with being logical/rational and sane.    It is true that the images we create and project spiritual can come alive and have a lot of spiritual impact.  These spiritual  images can become strong enough to be seen and even show up on film, but they are still spiritual manifestations, not physical ones and one has to be careful  to see them for what they really are. Often religions generate a lot of images(through the power of belief) that help to guide and inspire them spiritually to living a better life.  The spiritual is not concrete, so we must do the best we can to understand it using what images function the best when challenged by a logical physical world that we must contend with in order to grow further spiritually.

Some people will put animals and their pets on the same level spiritually as their fellow humans.  But, animals can not understand hard science enough to use it to help them function on a higher spiritual level.  But, that is not a problem for those that do not see the extra value of the human brain has in its capability to understand the physical world around them and affect it.  Even humans vary a lot in their ability to spiritually connect to the physical reality they exist in on a more advanced intellectual level.  Some people tend to dismiss the importance of the human mind spiritually and its ability to use reason to improve how one is able to functions spiritual.  But, without our ability to reason things out a lot better than animals can, the distance between us an animals become a lot less significant spiritually.  We need to have more of our spiritual focus on our fellow human beings and the serious problems that they face and create in this world.  We need to be careful about overly focusing on animals spiritually.  It is hard to connect with humans since they are very complicated,  but we must become better at this, if we are to improve on the spiritual state this world is in.

When it comes to developing better spiritual beliefs which are required in order to become a lot more developed and aware spiritually, only humans(on this planet)can do this, and then test them as to how well they help one to perform in this challenging resistant physical world we exist in.  Only humans can use really advanced meditative/spiritual-physical techniques/exercises to improve their physical/spiritual(emotional) health and will power.  Only humans can put themselves through extremely challenging physical-spiritual training that can test how well their beliefs function in helping one handle and perform when put in extremely challenging physical/spiritual states.  Physical-spiritual training helps one to better handle the toughest  physical-spiritual challenges life can present to us and to make sure one has beliefs that are good enough to help one handle these challenges.   Diet and physical exercise(especially cardiovascular) are also important as part of a physical-spiritual training program.   When one is really strong and aware spiritually, one will be well tuned into ones body and able to better do that which is  best for its physical and spiritual well being.  One proves how capable one is spiritually by how effective one can function in this very challenging physical world which is so full of serious/challenging problems that need to be better addressed.

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.
