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

I badly need help in being able to better contribute spiritually to this world what I have to offer!

It is a really good situation for really intense spiritual training and working to improve my spiritual beliefs and the astrology system that goes with them.  But, I do not find living with my sister and my nephew(with legal problems) is at all a supportive environment for me, but tends to make things quite difficult for me.  I did better in the 1970’s, 1980’s and 1990’s when often living in bad neighborhoods in the inner city of Roanoke, Va.  I do need to move to a place that is very convenient to some one who does not drive(and for good reason as to the safety of others).  I do best in a place with a simple bus system and a lot of places useful to me within walking distance.  I have never gotten a place to live without using connections.  I just seem to not have any good connections here now.  I do have money I inherited, but do not want to exhaust that to quickly since I do not qualify for social security due to limited work history.

I feel like the USA has gone backward in recent history when it comes to finding affordable temporary places to live,  I just do not believe that i could find cheap hotels that one can pay really low weekly rates anymore.  I feel we are actually regressing backward in this country spiritually.  I feel that even getting necessities like state ID cards are becoming more difficult for people like me.  So I feel that is why I am not as adventurous as when I was younger when it comes to relocating to a better place for me.

My limited visual memory and limited finer motor skills make life in most areas very difficult for me,  which has helped me to focus extremely intensely in the spiritual area in a practical rational way with my limited visual ability being good at dealing with core formulas/principles.  Often one can make ones limitations work to your benefit in helping one see things from a different angle than those with more “normal” abilities. The problem that people who are different in there abilities and tend to really go deeper in a particular area run into, is that when one goes beyond the mindset that prevails people tend to not be very receptive to what they have to offer. .  Often people have an overconfidence that leads them to believe they already have the best answers and need not pay attention to someone who dares to try to improve on their answers. The spiritual/religious area is an area very resistant to advancement and tends to not be that open to a more rational/sane/practical spiritual approach in both beliefs and training/practices.

I am very good at what I do, but it is so hard for me to translate that into being able to contribute what I have of value to the world.  Especially when so many people are unable to understand someone as unique(different from the norm)as me.  But being different in how my mind and body has giving me a unique perspective that I would not have if I was more “normal”.  Some people require because of their complex differences from others, with the more advanced spiritual capability and the understanding that makes that possible, in order to function on the level required in order to be able to continue to survive in this world.  I am really good at dealing with those who have the biggest spiritual challenges in their lives, due to what I have gone through and the extreme effort I have put into understanding spiritually what is required to become really good at handling them.

I have done best in the past when I was in partnership with someone else who complemented my abilities.  I feel the more specialized one becomes in what one is capale of, the more one needs others with differing abilites to work with you.  One may need to spend a lot of time alone developing in the area one is specialized in, but one will often need people with the abilities one lacks to help one contribute effectively to the world what one has to offer.  Often people automatically get the support they need from a society tailored to their mind-set.  People often do not appreciate how much society supports what they do and take it for granted.  People often can be quite insensitive to people who society is not designed very well at this time to support them.  People often like to feel superior to others because they fit into society so well.  Some spiritual beliefs even tend to be more designed for those who readily fit into the prevailing mind-set and the societal structure that goes with it.  Often those who are do not fit in very well are denegrated rather than being helped in a way to be able to contribute their value to society.  Society does tend to waste a lot of its talent.  It is no wonder this world is so messed up in so many ways.  It could be in such better shape, it is would improve spiritually  in how it treats people who are different.

Somehow, I need to find people who could personally benefit from what I have to offer in enabling them to take on bigger spiritual challenges within themselves and in the world they live in.  I have a lot to offer to the right people.  I do not want to connect with people who see me as a burden.  I deal enough with those type of people when it comes to my relatives, that I have been dependent on, and have helped spiritually without much credit.

Great innovation often happens in fields that have been resistant to progress for quite some time. In the spiritual/religious field, resistance to progress tend to readily happen, since beliefs run deep and can be deeply implanted and can be very resistant to better spiritual beliefs that are more rational and effective in the challenging world we presently exist in and perform in spiritually.

That irrational spiritual beliefs tend not to serve one well in a crisis. Since I use a type of spiritual crisis training as part of my daily routine, I am in good position to make sure my beliefs are rational enough to handle the roughest of conditions I could face spiritually in this challenging world.

I add this due to a comment pertaining to what I posted in the paragraph just above this I got on another site that I posted this on: We connect with God(the universal spirit) to the degree we connect spiritually with the physical reality we exist in. Good spiritual training helps us as individuals increase our connection with reality. When we lose our connection with reality as a result of losing our connection with our self, we no longer will have a good connection with God.

The extremely important body-spirit and physical-spiritual connection

Some people love to believe that the spirit can function without a connection to a body and a functioning brain. Often people like to have spiritual beliefs that devalue the importance of using ones mind/brain to develop more rational and practical spiritual beliefs. I believe the more one gives importance to our connection to the physical world that exists for our benefit, the more one will be able to connect to reality and what is true spiritually. I believe the spirit can not exist without its connection to a physical body and that physical bodies are always available in order  for the spirit to maintain its continuous existence.

I do the really difficult spiritual-physical training required to gain a really strong physical-spiritual connection and a greater spiritual oneness with reality that comes with this.  I stand by my really hard, rational/practical spiritual work I have done in this area. The predominating spiritual beliefs on this planet are the reason it is so messed up spiritually. People need to use their mind/brain more to figure out rationally what spiritual belief are likely to work better in the physical reality we are now in and to test them out using trial and error to see how well they work at helping one more effectively focus on and handle the challenges this world offers us so many of.

13Oct22:  I  made another improvement in my spiritual astrology system yesterday evening. My astrology system helps my spiritual  programming to better tune me in spiritually in mind,  body, and spirit, so I can better connect to the physical universe l am part of…. 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.

The power of belief

Our spiritual beliefs have a powerful affect on the type of spiritual energy we create individually and collectively on this planet. The spiritual energy that believers generate can maintain certain collective spirits that help support the beliefs of these believers. Once a belief has a lot of believers in them on this planet, there will be a lot of psychic support for these beliefs. Then it becomes a lot easier to draw new believer in that are enticed by these beliefs. A lot of spiritual beliefs are not that practical or useful for helping people get a better connection with the physical reality we exist in, so as to help one to better contribute to making this world a better place. Just like we have drugs that help people escape from reality and help make them feel better, there are spiritual beliefs that tend to be escapist in nature, but can feel good to believe in. Often people like to disconnect from the burdens life places on them to quite a degree and will search for beliefs that help them do this.

 

Luckily, some people do not mine taking on big spiritual challenges and the responsibilities/burdens that come with them and are attracted to spiritual beliefs that help give them a stronger connection to reality so that they can better contribute to making this physical world they share with others a better place to exist in. We need to have the type of spiritual beliefs with the energy they produce that will not only help us individually get a lot healthier and aware spiritually and a better grip on reality, but that will do the same collectively for our whole planet. It takes an effort to connect with the healthiest spiritual energies that exist on this planet. A lot of the spiritual beliefs that exist on this planet actually contribute to the messed up spiritual state this planet is in, rather than contributing to straightening things out. We have so many serious problems that exist in this world that we will need spiritual beliefs that can give us the type of energy required to effectively deal with. It will not be easy to transform this world spiritually into a better place, but it makes one feel good to be contributing positively to making this world a better place.

The importance of having spiritual beliefs that function well in this challenging physical reality we exist in

I believe the stronger we connect to the physical reality we exist in and share with others, the closer we will be able to connect with God who maintains this reality for our benefit. I believe this challenging physical reality we exist in can really test how good our spiritual beliefs really are. That we all need to work hard to improve our spiritual beliefs and training techniques so that we can be more effective in transforming the world around us into a better place to exist in. I see this world as being very messed up spiritually because the dominant spiritual beliefs that exist here are inadequate. That life, and the spiritual that tends to reflect life, are very complicated and overly simplistic beliefs are not good enough to explain either. That just like in any other subject we strive to master the knowledge of, we will start at the beginning by learning the more simple stuff, but as we progress we will be able to handle more of its complexity.

I do have my extremely intense spiritual/physical exercises(mostly meditative and cardiovascular) I am able to do that are able to put me into really challenging and difficult physical/spiritual states, that give me a really heavy dose of reality when I do them, and tests how well my belief are able to help me handle such challenging states. How well ones beliefs can handle really tough challenges tells one a lot of how good they are and can help one to figure out ways to improve them. I am very much into the value of the physical-spiritual connection.

It is important to search for ways to improve ones spiritual belief using all serious sources one can find, as well as ones creativity and the process of trial and error. One can often learn a lot from others who have led challenging lives and have learned a lot spiritually as a result. I have found that people who ignore outside feedback from others a lot often can lose touch with reality. It is very important to listen to, and bounce ones view of reality off of those due to their experience and expertise are capable of giving one really good feedback

Taking spiritual responsibility for improving the spiritual state this planet is in.

We must understand that it is up to us to be responsible for improving the spiritual state this world is in. I feel people need to understand that it is up to them to do the hard spiritual/physical training and deep spiritual thinking and testing(through trial and error)required to develop or understand better how the spiritual works. Looking to spirits/beings not incarnated on or native to this planet to do the work for us is just not going to work that well and has not done well for us in the past. I feel that a lot of people on this planet have not had their spiritual beliefs challenged/tested enough, so are able to hold on to fantasy/luxury type beliefs that can only do well under really sheltered conditions, but would not hold up to the stress of facing a really heavy and difficult dose of reality.

People who are well aware personally of the serious problems that exist on this planet, will tend to get very practical in their spiritual beliefs, because luxury type beliefs just would not be stripped down enough to that which works the best on a basic mechanical level spiritually. Being overindulgent in the type of spiritual beliefs we have can render us with not enough of a serious/efficient focus spiritually in order to rationally address the really complex and difficult problems of the highly advance technological age we now exist in. We live in an age where a lot of people live overly indulging/permissive lifestyles and tend to have spiritual beliefs that mirror this. A lot of our problems in this world are the result of this type of an overindulging/permissive lifestyle. If we are to straighten out this world spiritually, we are going happen to focus more on what really counts.

These indulgent spiritual beliefs will not help one to do the spiritual training required to become in the type of physical/spiritual shape that will help one to handle the really intense stress of taking on the really intense spiritual challenges that exist here now on this Earth. Listen to the news if you are not spiritual aware enough of the challenges that exist here on this Earth at this time. We have to do our part spiritually to transform the conditions on this Earth and we must do our part spiritually to improve our spiritual beliefs so as to do so. People who specialize in the spiritual can really work hard to come up with better spiritual beliefs and training techniques. And those with other specialties required on this Earth can learn what they personally need to know about the spiritual from these spiritual specialists so that they can best contribute what they have to offer to this world. Different people have different abilities the can develop and contribute.

 

We need to have really high spiritual standards as to the type of world we exist in, and not be overly tolerant/permissive of spiritual beliefs that are not good enough to uphold a really high standard. We can not please everyone spiritually when we are into doing everything it takes to get into the best condition physically/spiritually. But, sometimes it is more important to focus on what really works than pleasing people or winning a spiritual popularity contest. When one focuses on what really works spiritually one will reach and connect with the people that count the most when it comes to making a positive difference in this world. Sometimes one needs to focus more on function than looks or appeal.

Improving spiritual belief, the past, and science

I am very much into improving on the spiritual beliefs that have been passed down from the past. I believe the best spiritual beliefs tend to survive(provided they are effectively circulated so as to be adequately tested)because they work. It is often difficult to get people to be receptive to new spiritual beliefs, because people tend to become really attached to beliefs that they are familiar with, and that have a lot of support in this world. It is often comforting to people to have a similar mindset as others. Often people accept certain beliefs/theories about the past, that tend to limit there ability to explore, develop or be receptive to better/new spiritual beliefs. People will often believe that nothing new ever exists and that the ancients had all the spiritual wisdom anyone would ever need. They may even believe that aliens or some really advanced spiritual being(s)gave the ancients really special spiritual knowledge.

Often people will try to use science or a scientific approach to try to back up the spiritual beliefs they want to hang on to. But, the spiritual is not a science. A lot of things are not really thoroughly proven by science, because often not enough evidence exists. When the evidence is not very solid, people can come up with all kinds of wild theories that they feel fits what evidence does exist. A lot of people are always looking for some sort of extra validation to try to support in some way the spiritual ideology/beliefs they are attached to. We must understand that we can not get all the answers using a scientific approach, since sometimes the evidence is just not good enough. Often false evidence is manufactured or the evidence that exists can allow for many explanations. One just has to listen to an account of a crime investigation to see how easy it is to draw the wrong conclusions when one does not have really solid evidence.

I believe really strongly that the spiritual beliefs that help one to be able to better handle the big spiritual challenges/crises that one will face in this world are the ones that will be closest to the truth. That it is in this physical world we exist in that our spiritual beliefs are really tested as to how good they are in helping us deal with the very intense challenges that exist here. I believe really good spiritual training will be able to put one into really intense/challenging physical/spiritual states that will make one very aware of what spiritual beliefs are working for you and which are not. If one has not really ever been really challenged/tested as to  how well ones spiritual beliefs are able to handle great pressure/stress, then one can not really know how good they really work for you. I do really intense spiritual training, so I speak from personal experience.

I feel it is so important to understand that the spiritual and science are very different. That they must be approached in a very different way in order to make sense of what they focus on. That the material world needs to be studied quite differently than the spiritual is. That often science tries to get too much into the study of the human spirit(using the scientific method) as happens often in the field of psychology/mental health,  and those in the spiritual field often get too much in to trying to prove(look for support for)things/theories about the material world that can best be handled by science provided enough evidence exists.

The spiritual is non-material and deals with emotions.  The spiritual has a lot of impact on this world since it underlies all of reality and affects how well one can direct ones emotions and desires in a positive direction.  We are not just machines, but have a spirit with a lot of power to impact our reality spiritually.  Our mind needs to better figure out how the spiritual works, so that we can better interpret what is happening on this level and figure out how to be more effective in a positive way spiritually/emotionally.

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.

The Physical is an Essential Part of our Spirit’s Reality

Thomas Goodwin

I do not believe the spirit can ever escape the physical world around it. I believe that even when it leaves the body(enters spirit world) between lives, it still is partly in the physical world and is affected by its rules. Without a body the spirit may be able to travel a lot faster in the physical world and is not as limited as when it has a body. One will notice in ones dreams(a place where we connect more strongly with, or visit  the spirit world) that one is able to do a lot of things there, that one can not do when awake. I believe it still takes time to do things in the spirit world, even if it takes less time, since the resistance in this realm is less.

I believe when we leave our body either in our dreams or after death, that we do not escape space or time, and that our spirit will have to travel from its point of leaving the body through space within our multiverse, in order to get to a new location. That it will take time for it to get anywhere. I believe the spirit is a lot less limited in regard to what it can tune into. Even when the spirit is well implanted in its body when awake, it often can tune into a lot spiritually that is way beyond its current location.

What one has to remind oneself is that the physical world and the important properties that go with it are part of the spiritual oneness of reality. That means that one can never totally escape from it. Often people who focus on the spiritual, have trouble getting along with science, because they tend to not value the physical aspect of our reality well enough. When one devalues the importance of the physical world, it make its easier to devalue the importance of proving oneself spiritually in it, by impacting it in a way that make a positive difference. If we had really adequate spiritual ideas and training, we should be able to transform this spiritual world into a much better place. We should appreciate the physical part of our reality, and not be so quick to devalue its important properties.
