Connecting better spiritually with the challenging reality we all now exist in!!

Reality is in the now! We need to process the past, learn from it so we can do better in the future.! We need to heal from the traumas of our own personal history and of the greater history of our world. Everything happens for a reason and is strongly affected by level of spiritual development of the times. Being stuck in the past spiritually hurts ones ability to gain a greater and healthier grip on reality that is required to advance to a higher level spiritually! Mythology may help one to better connect with the dreamlike character of the spiritual, but mythology needs to evolve and not be stuck on the mythology of the past which often is linked too much to the past. The spiritual needs to be understood through having theories about it that really help us to spiritually to better handle the reality we exist in right now and to create a better reality on our planet in the future. Spiritual personalities of the past or present should not be put on a pedestal! What counts are not personalities, but the value of the spiritual theories and techniques that they develop and contribute to the world!

Everything happens for a reason spiritually! That which works the best tends to survive. Our whole reality is based on that! Our universe is an example of this. Randomness is very much affected by that which works the best. So spiritual conditions that leads to advanced life very much exists in our universe! The spiritual underlies all of our reality and thus is extremely valuable in helping us in understanding it! Science is very helpful, but has its limitations! We can only really further advance in our understanding of the physical/concrete aspect of our reality by first advancing further in our spiritual understanding of this reality! The will and desire to solve problems and connect more strongly with reality comes from our spiritual development! Healing past traumas, getting rid of harmful addictions and delusions helps one to live a healthy more purposeful existence with more of a focus on doing what its takes to solves the problems that prevent us from seeing and facing reality more intensely and clearly, which will help us all to contribute in our own way to a better understanding of the reality we exist in. Even scientists have spirits that they must mobilize if they are to make important advancements in helping us better understand our reality!

We badly need a type of spirituality that really interfaces with the type of challenging physical reality we all live in right now. Escapist spiritual beliefs originated in a more primitive past need to be improved on! This challenging physical reality we exist in needs to be highly embraced and valued! We need to stop acting so infantile spiritually and develop the spiritual maturity to understand that it is up to us to make the most of the reality we exist in! We are on the front line spiritually on this planet and are very responsible for the state of the world or reality we are able to impact!

As our individual spirits on this planet evolves further, the various collective spirits will also evolve! As our individual spiritual mindsets advance, our collective mindsets will also evolve, We do not just act as individual spirits, but also contribute to the existence collective spirits that make up the organizations that exist on this planet. Spirits are not purely independent, but become part spiritually of what ever groups, organizations or societies they are part of! The leaders of any organization will be forced to represent the collective spiritual energy of the organization in order to keep their position. The quality of the leaders and the group as a whole spiritually will depend on the quality of the spiritual energy of the individuals who feed their spiritual energy into it. .

I am very serious and intense for good reason!

I tend to respond to everything seriously. Although I do sense the humor in things. I am very much a stoic and tend to focus very much on a survival level, since that is what makes me really effective spiritually, which I require in order to maintain a presence in this world and continue with my purpose. I push the edge everyday, so this make me very tough and serious spiritually, which I require to survive and work hard to straighten out this world spiritually.

I am preparing to get a website ready to reach people with the type of very tough and effective spirituality that I feel this world badly needs. The success of the website is dependent on me having something to offer that the world really needs to deal with the serious issues that exist here. The website keeps being delayed, so I am always trying to get even stronger so as to feed more energy into helping the people working on it to finish their job.

My life(living conditions) always has challenges in the present that remind me how I must always stay vigilant and maintain an intensely sober attitude. I meditate to keep things in my life from falling apart and to make the needed progress to keep my mission and survival in this world continuing.

The spiritual is powered by passion and I need to have the type of serious passion that will make a difference in this world while I present advanced spiritual training techniques and the theories that must come with them to a world that is quite backward spiritually when it comes being able to handle the problems of a technologically(scientifically)advanced age. I survived the 65 years on this planet because of my strong purpose that goes beyond just myself spiritually. I had to develop myself spiritually in order to do something to straighten out a world that I personally felt the spiritual inadequacies that exist here.

We need to end the cycle of abuse in this world!

We live in a world that is so messed up spiritually that it will produce a lot of really messed up individuals. A cycle of abuse will move from one generation to another. This cycle of abuse has to be stopped! Those who have been abused can not use it as an excuse to continue this cycle, but need to make the effort to change it starting with themselves. If we do not deal with the spiritual roots of this problem this problem will continue no matter how many people we lock up so as to prevent them from harming others. We must lock them up once they are caught doing harmful abuse especially sexual abuse, but the out of control desires that are the root of so many of the problems in this world need badly to be addressed. We are so backward spiritually on this planet, so it is not surprising to me that we have such terrible wars and abuse of all kinds happening on this planet.

What people do not understand is the spiritual is able to do amazing things, but only if we advance a lot further in our understanding of it. Science has advanced a lot in recent times and amazing result have come from it, although not always applied very well due to our lack of spiritual maturity. We can advance in a similar way in the spiritual area, provided we are willing to challenge and improve the spiritual beliefs and techniques that dominate our world today. It is not easy to improve the spiritual conditions that exist on this Earth, but it needs to be done if we are to be able to address the serous spiritual problems that come with this highly advanced technological age we now exist in.

Hedonism often comes with the overly materialistic focus that the development of advanced technology tend to create. Spiritual development/advancement is so needed so that we develop the strength spiritual focus required to help us better handle our desires so that we can direct them in healthier directions rather than direct them in a way that creates self abuse and the abuse of others as is currently happening so much in our current world.  Here is a link to a very effective spiritual training technique:

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

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

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. 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.

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. 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.
