Spiritual/religious brainwashing keeps people from being receptive to better, more practical spiritual theories! One spiritual programming is deeply implanted and does not change without a lot of effort! Spiritual trauma tends to hold one back from advancing further spiritually. Effective meditative exercises along with a better diet can help one heal past traumas in ones life so that one can more readily improve one spiritual programming! Growing spiritually is not easy since facing more of the truth is really challenging and will often force one to face past traumas and the beliefs that help support them! Fantasy/delusional beliefs act like drugs that help one to tune out reality to quite a degree. People often take drugs to help them avoid past traumas and maintain the distorted spiritual energy that comes with inadequate spiritual beliefs systems. Being a spiritual pioneer does run into its obstacles on this spiritually backward planet!!

The all important cycles within life and beyond life
The life of the spirit is cyclical with each new cycle being affected by how well we handled the last cycle. The type of reality we exist in will continue providing us with the same challenges and benefits. One needs to focus on making the most of the current very challenging/stimulating reality we exist in, since we will continue to face more of the same within this life and beyond this life. The belief in the spiritual theory of our continuous existence in a similar reality helps us to put all of our focus on performing well in it, since we will only face more of it in the future. If we work hard to perform well in one cycle in this life, what value we gain will help us in the next cycle. The same will be true as we cycle from one life to the next. Inventing a different type of reality that is fantasy like after we die, will weaken our ability to put all of our energy into the reality we exist in right now which is the one that counts the most.

Why is this world (the Earth)so messed up!
Getting the most out of our potential individually is not at all easy especially if one is not very well programmed spiritually and am addicted to various things that dulls or harms their ability to tune into reality especially the most challenging parts of it. Everyone who is not constantly working at improving the spiritual state they are in and the spiritual theories they are guided by will automatically fall into the prevailing mindsets that dominate this world and are supported by traditional religions or the mass media that are very locked in in their beliefs. Science also can fall victim to a lock in mindset. Human being are conscious spiritual beings capable of a lot more spiritually than being harmfully controlled or limited by instinct and biological urges. We can do so much better on this Earth spiritually and not be so abusive to ourselves and others and to the planet Earth we play such an important spiritual role on. But we need to become a lot more mature spiritually, which is not easy to do since growing up requires a lot of growing pains and lessons that we make a really intense effort to learn.
People with polarizing overly simplistic mindsets(which is especially present in politics) who are off in perspective in opposite directions that enjoy a sort of arrogant self-righteous condemnation toward each other tend to dominate in this World, and often gain access to money to push their antiquated ideas. The truth is never that simple and can be very challenging to figure out to a reasonable degree. One has to work hard to be able to see and weigh all sides of an issue. and do the hard work to figure out what will actually work in a world that now has very sophisticated technology, that can be extremely complicated to figure out as to how to best take advantage of their positive value, and not be harmed due to not knowing how to avoid the the problems that also can come with them.
We are all delusional to some degree, since no one has a perfect grasp of what is true. Perfection does not exist in this world spiritually, but is not required, since we only need to have a good enough grasp of the truth to function at a reasonable level to meet the needs for the demands of the times we live in. Now, anyone that thinks that the we are doing that well at this time when it comes to our individual and collective health and as well as the health of our planet really is deluding themselves to quite a degree, I have found that people with delusional type mind-sets will tend to see those who have a very different but more rational mindset as the ones who are delusional, since otherwise they would have to question their beliefs and get out of their comfort zone and do the hard work to improve them. One has to have a certain amount of humility to be able to see ones inadequacies, so that one will be able to improve. One has to see ones inadequacies before one can improve on them. When one gets a poor grade in school, one can then figure our what areas one need to put hard work into in order to improve. As one progresses in any field one wants to develop more expertise in, one must be able to handle the complexities that come with it. We can not advance very far in any field if we can not get beyond the simplistic. As we advance in education in any field of study we eventually will face the most complexity required when it comes to the subject we choose to specialize in. The spiritual field is no different than any other field when it come to the level of complexity required in order to become very good at it.
When we are not individually and collectively adequate enough in our spiritual programming to adequately handle really complex issue/problems of our times a lot of serious problems will result in this world. Homelessness, for example, will result for those who do not have the capabilities to adjust to a society that demands too much of them and is not designed well enough to meet their needs. Often those that are “differently abled” end up as homeless or with tragic lives. Many of the great personalities in the history of our Planet have been “differently abled”. We need to make more of an effort to utilize the special unique abilities that these people often have rather than just condemn them for not fitting in to a society that is not designed well enough to meet their needs. We all need to get more out of ourselves even if we are lucky enough not to be homeless. We can all do a lot more to direct our desires to live a healthier life style. So many people are not very healthy in this World, with a food industry that markets food that acts more often act like drugs, than contributing to health. It is not easy to get the most out of our abilities without having the spiritual programming that is good enough to help us to do the hard work to get the most out of ourselves when it comes to our own health and abilities even if we are in a more comfortable position in our society. We will need to work really hard to get the most out of every member of our society in order to successfully get through the crises that lay ahead of us in a world that badly needs us to advance enough spiritually to enable this to happen.
I am one of the “differently abled” people who has a lot to contribute to this world that has really struggled to survive in a spiritually backward world. My beliefs(spiritual theories) are unique since I developed them to be an improvement over those that currently dominate in this World. New ideas, no matter how good, often have to really fight to be heard in a World that is backward spiritually. One thing so many people do not understand is that when beliefs become popular due to how many people believe in them they gain psychic support for them. That means they are easily attainable without a lot of work. Inspiration that comes easily will tend just to be drawn psychically from the energy of beliefs that are already well represented in this world. New spiritual theories(having little psychic support in this world) will always have to struggle to gain acceptance especially in a World that tends to cling to the beliefs of the past and tends to have a lot of addictive qualities in the life styles of its inhabitants. It takes work to explore or try out new spiritual ideas as to how well they will actually work in ones life or can positively impact this world. One has to be willing to make the effort to understand the value of something before you can experiment and find if it useful. Rational/useful ideas will have an intuitive ring of truth to them that will reach those who have experienced enough life to appreciate their value.
Over 4 decades I developed a new spiritually focused Astrology System. This is because I believe the physical-spiritual connection is so important in this world and provides a structure to the spiritual. The physical is what challenges and grounds our spiritual beliefs and tests how well they actually work when really tested by the resistance on the physical can provide. This physical-spiritual connection is what connects us to our Earth and the natural world we are part of. Native tribes often see our Earth as sacred and will have special connections to the land they are part of. The physical-spiritual connection is what Astrology is based on, but the ancients that developed the traditional Astrology System that a lot of our public is drawn to, did not understand much about the Planets and Stars that they used to create it. But, people tend to cling to the ideas of the past, even if they are not that good. Something is better than nothing when a spiritual vacuum exists. In ancient times they did not need to be as sophisticated spiritually as we need to be today, since we now have become so advanced in our technology and the scientific knowledge that come with it. But, we need a stronger connection spiritually with the physical world we now understand so much more about than in ancient times. Cycles play a strong role in the spiritual and the movements of the very huge objects that are close to us have to have a strong impact on the subtle and sensitive spiritual level of our being and the vital intuition that exists there and guides us. Being well connected spiritually to the greater physical universe we are part of is what makes an effective Astrology system developed in a rational way so important. The spiritual is not irrational. We can not be guided by anything that is irrational spiritually and then behave in a sane and rational way in a physical world that demands it.
It takes work to become stronger and more sensitive spiritually. Often people who claim to be really advance spiritually do not actually do the hard work to train their body to better connect to the spiritual. The body, mind, and spirit needs to be developed through hard work. One has to do the spiritual work to get healthier and more tuned in physically in order to get the most out of your unique potential. It takes a lot of spiritual strength to get the most out of your unique abilities. The spiritual is powered by our emotions, and these all need to be directed in a constructive/positive/healthy direction in order for us to get the most out of ourselves and contribute the most of what we have to this world. So, I have developed really challenging meditative/spiritual techniques to develop the spiritual strength and sensitivity I needed to develop a new spiritual theory based Astrology System and to help others to also gain spiritually in a way to get the most out of the abilities they have. I am very much a doer spiritually and demand results in the real world. So everything I have developed has been done with and eye on positive results and the trial and error required to make this happen.
Here are my links to most of my spiritual stuff I have on the internet including my astrology system and meditative exercises. Some of it is easier to understand. My astrology system is a formula and will not be easy to understand. I need people with interest in astrology that want to move to a more advanced system to explore it:

“Church of Spiritual Research and development” needed
In a world that tends to hold on too strongly to the spiritual beliefs of the past, a new approach to the spiritual is badly needed, especially when so many of it problems are rooted in the spiritual, and in which science has advanced beyond the level of spiritual maturity required to properly deal with the problems it presents. We need a practical type of spirituality that focuses on the world we exist in right now rather than devaluing its challenges by creating future existences that eliminate and devalue the importance of these challenges in furthering spiritual development and bringing out the most in us all spiritually. Since the term “Religion” applies to institutions that deal with everything spiritual and is often protected to some degree from being interfered with by governmental control and interference, we are forced to use it in order to gain the protections that come with it! Often those who describe themselves as “spiritual” get shutout from real religious freedom because they are into psychic/spiritual abilities, astrology or certain forms of meditation.
The physical-spiritual connection is so important when it comes to bringing the spiritual more effectively into the type of realty we presently exist in. I developed a new Spiritual Astrology System using decades of trial and error while also simultaneously improving on my meditative (spiritual training) techniques and spiritual theories! So I do have an extremely strong focus on spiritual research and development which was made possible by being “differently abled” as is often the case with people with the most in spiritual potential. Here on wordpress I have so many posts dealing in more detail about myself to be explored by those who desire more details about me and my spiritual research.
I now live in Las Vegas, NV which tends to really regulate those who are different in what they are into spiritually! Often that which is new or different scares those who have a more traditional approach! The forces trying to maintain the spiritual status quo are often strong and can really fight against anything that challenges their spiritual mindset! New spiritual approaches do have their risks, but not making an attempt to find ways to improve spiritually is also risky especially in the highly challenging technologically advanced world we now exist in. Science cannot do it all, the Spiritual also plays a counterbalancing role. Emotion and desires requires a lot spiritual maturity to be properly directed! So many harmful addictions exist in this overly commercially focus world! Religious freedom needs to be properly applied to those on the cutting edge spiritually.

Smug, arrogant, and clueless
A lot of people on the planet Earth buy into lock in(addictive) authoritative belief that give them a superior spiritual attitude unjustified by how well they are able to perform in the challenging reality they exist in! Human beings have the capability to take charge of their spiritual energy and to stop being passive and a victim of instinctual impulses! Not only do most Religions take a very passive spiritual approach while conceding to an authoritarian dogma not to be questioned, but Science often also tends to deny our spiritual potential to have much impact on our own spiritual destiny individually and thus have greater spiritual impact on the future of our planet! Science tends to see our biology and instinctual side as being really dominant and tend to discount the positive value spiritual will power has in transforming us. Drugs and medications tend to be over depended on and will power tends to be discounted.
It is just hard for most people on this planet to see how backward they are spiritually and the part they play in helping to keep this planet so backward spiritually! The spiritual actually operates in a very rational way, but antiquated spiritual beliefs are often based more on mythology than on how reasonable they are when it comes to helping us adjust to and perform in the challenging reality this highly advanced technological age we live in has brought about!
Human being are actually capable of behaving in a more rational in tune with realty way. Our rational mind created our advanced technology and now our rational mind needs to help us to advance a lot further in regard to our spiritual maturity and our ability to take on more responsibility spiritually for the state this world is in. We can become major spiritual actors with a lot of positive impact on the world we exist in, and become more empowered as front line spirits rather than just concede to the spiritual status quo and the inflexible authoritative energy that supports it. An all powerful God is not going to solve our problems for us, we must grow up spiritually and take on the spiritual role we are capable of! A lot of people in this world are just smug, arrogant, and clueless spiritually and are upholding a spiritual status quo that is keeping this world in such a really backward state spiritually through their unwillingness to challenge and work to improve on the spiritual beliefs/theories they have been programmed with deep within themselves!
Below this paragraph is a link to links to a lot of the huge volume of spiritual stuff I have place all over the internet over a ten year period. I developed a new astrology system not based on ancient mythology, but on rational spiritual theories and tested by how well they enable me to push the edge safely with the extremely intense spiritual/meditative training I developed and do! I have had an extreme creative spiritual focus my whole life, since I am “differently abled”(limited visual memory and finer motor skills) in a way that I am not good at anything else. My uniqueness has made my survival on this planet extremely difficult which required me to really depend on continuous spiritual growth to an extreme degree to ensure this survival as things in this world for me became rougher an rougher over time! The shoulder dislocation and disability in my right arm only added to my challenges and spiritual demands on me. Necessity is often the mother of invention, and I am an extreme case of this being true!

After shoulder dislocation, Pictures/video showing very limited range of motion in shoulder!
video done JUN 4th 2018:
Demonstrating how I still have limited range of motion a long time after my dislocated shoulder occurred the night before Easter(APR 1). Video done JUN 4. I can use my uninjured left arm to stretch my injured right arm further which demonstrates some of my shoulder muscles in my right arm do not function at this time! I do continue to stretch my right arm with and without the help of my left arm! I do swing a 5 lb dumbbell through this range of motion I have in my right arm to strengthen it and can do a bicep curl holding two 5 lb dumbbells in my right hand. Also can do a squat to chest exercise two handed with 20 lb dumbbell for over 1 minute now!
For further background on this accident and my rehab start with this blog post and then check out later blog posts on this subject:
My range of motion in my right arm is quite limited. I did have my dislocated arm worked on at the VA hospital ER on Easter morning and I am sure the professionals brought in on call after me waiting a number of hours in pain did the best they could with the help of Xrays! I just had a lot more damage from my very hard fall onto a concrete sidewalk than just a dislocation as pain in elbow, hand, upper arm, shoulder and ribs for weeks after accident continuing to the present seems to indicate. Have not been back to VA hospital since missing a walk in type appointment due to not finding parking in massive traffic jam at hospital 8 days later on a Tuesday! I was in pain and my friend driving was also in pain due to injuries still healing from an car accident around Halloween! I gave up on the VA which was hard to get rides to and which may have costed me time and money I could not afford with my dire financial situation!

Change in my new very advanced Astrology System

Value of inner and outer debates in order to get more of a handle on the truth!
I debate the value of my ideas within myself and with others! I appreciate those who can handle a rational debate on where the truth most likely lies. I am into spiritual growth, not just acceptance of ideas that a lot of people are overly attached to without much thought as to the real value they have in helping them perform well in this very complicated technological age we now exist in. People often think they have more of a handle on the truth than they actually have. Life is a complicated puzzle that will never be completely figured out. Mystery will always exist, which is a good thing! It takes a hard mental and spiritual effort to get more of a handle on what is true in any area one wants to excel in. Not questioning things or debating things is an approach that keeps people from understanding any subject more deeply! Some people just want to be around those who agree with them, and demonize those who do not! The truth is complicated, and requires the ability to see things from many sides and angles! I stay clear of people who stifle discussion!

Addictions tune one out from reality spiritually!
Included in addictions are anything one feels compelled to become strongly attached to despite their harmful impact on your ability to cope with reality! Cigarettes are extremely addictive and often are not considered for the spirit altering addictive impact they have on people! People would not smoke them and face the really harmful physical harm they do to them if they did not have such a psychological/spiritual hold on them! Food addictions also can be extremely strong and also can have a very negative impact on health! Obesity has reached an epidemic level in this world in recent times along with so many other serious health problems that result from overeating and eating unhealthy, but very addictive(flavorful)foods designed by the food industry to boost sales! One can develop enough hunger between meals especially if you exercise that you will find healthy foods attractive. Frequent small meals can help one to get a constant supply of nutrition! Just make them small enough that one will get a constant supply of nutrition!
Addiction to spiritual beliefs also cause harm by preventing people from improving them, which is really needed in an age in which advanced technology is causing so many serious problems that need to be addressed by people with their spiritual energy very tuned in and grounded in a rational way on the challenging physical reality we now exist in! Hedonism is the enemy of spiritual development, and is extremely present in this modern age we live in! The USA tends to have an economic system geared too much toward the pursuit of pleasure and unhealthy excesses!
Addictions also distort the mind making delusions more attractive than reality, and making the effort to connect with serious sources of information about the reality we exist in more difficult! So much misinformation is circulating in this world often that support extreme viewpoints which can be very intoxicating to those with out a good enough grip on the complex reality we exist in with all of its mysteries and variables that requires one being able to see many sides of any issue in order to figure out how to get a better picture of what is true. People often become addictive to extreme viewpoints and to the crazy conspiracy theories that support them! We have so many serious mental health problems in this world as a result of all the unhealthy addictions that tune people out from reality while harming their physical and spiritual health!
We badly need to advance further spiritually on this planet where its technology has advance a lot in recent history, but that has not advanced as much spiritually! We just do not have the spiritual maturity on this planet to handle the serious problems of our age. Addictions play a major role in holding us back spiritually! Addictions to the beliefs of the past keep us from developing a better spiritual connection to reality so that we can seriously recognize what we need to do to get more out of ourselves spiritually, and then as a result, better able to contribute in cooperation with others to making this world a better place to exist on!
