The importance of time and space to the oneness of our physical/spiritual reality

One has to understand the physical spiritual connection and the degree of oneness in the interaction between the spiritual and the physical. One can not eliminate the affects the rules that impact our physical reality have on how our spirit operates.. We can not escape space or time and its impact on us, since they are vital to how our reality works. The spirit is dependent on the physical world and can not escape this vital connection.

Some spiritual belief systems tend to focus on escaping from this physical reality which is not a healthy thing for the spirit to do.  Time(a vital part of our physical reality) is so important to ones sense of purpose and spiritual effectiveness. One can not train to be good at anything without putting the required time in. Time give one an identity gotten from what ones past experience have made us into. Time gives us a present in which we depend on our past experiences and training to make the most of what we are able to achieve. And a future that gives us something that we can aim for and give us a sense of purpose. It is hard to know where one is heading if one does not anticipate what would be a good next/future step.
Tuning out from time and space may temporarily remove a lot of the pressures of life, but it is disorienting and is not good for helping one to better cope with the reality one exist in right now and will continue to exist in regularly in the future. Being able to really focus on the time and space one is moving through is very important when one is trying to make the most of the challenges that are part of life. Being disoriented in time and space is not a safe place to be spiritually when one is facing challenging circumstances.Even when the spirit leaves its body, it needs to know where it is at and not become disoriented. A spirit that is trained to be well oriented within our physical multiverse while being incarnated will be a more oriented spirit when it leaves its body and is trying to find the right situation for its next incarnation.

The way the spirit operates within the rules of our physical reality

This post represents my speculation on the spirit and how it operates independent of a body based on my intuition and understanding of how our reality works.  I do get a lot of information about how the spirit operates from my dreams in my sleep.  I believe that ones spirit does often leave the body in ones sleep.  That we can gain a lot of insight from our dreams about how the spirit operates.  Spiritual training I believe also helps an awful lot to help one to better connect with the spirit world(that is located in the same time and space as the physical world and constantly interacts with it) and understand what is happening there while one is dreaming.

The spirit after leaving its body at death has to find the type of body that it has experience in operating. It has certain genetic requirements necessary to meet its needs. Some spirits are more specialized than others and have to have bodies that meet more specialized genetic requirements. Spirits can not escape the time and space they exist in. They do exist in a time and space when incarnated in a body, and when they leave their body must travel from the point they leave the body through space in order to get to another location. The spirit is less limited in some ways when it is without the weight of a body and can travel a lot more quickly and readily through space. But, it still takes time for the spirit to travel through space even when the spirit is not burdened with the weight of being connected to a physical body.. It is hard for a spirit(even without body) to travel through areas of space it is not familiar with.

Most spirits tend to become quite attached to the location they have become familiar with. Most spirits are not that adventurous or willing to deal with a great deal of change, so they tend to stay put to quite a degree. A spirit that becomes a ghost will tend to become really attached to a location. Of course if a crisis hit they would be impelled to accept change in order to continue to have their needs met as to being able to find a suitable body and habitat to meets its vital needs. The multiverse does vary spiritually from one place to another. The spirit would have to be quite motivated to go to places that are quite different spiritually than their present location. Spirits have relationships with other spirits that will often have to be left behind when a spirit decides to travel to a place quite a distant from their current location.
With the motivation of an emergency a group of spirits can more readily travel together further through space in order to find a new location to incarnate into. Spirits do have to travel through the space between different locations within the multiverse. They can not jump from one place to another without covering the territory occurring between locations. Just because a spirit leaves its physical body, does not mean the rules that govern this multiverse no longer apply. Even when the spirit leaves the body in dreams at night, it still has its limitations

The continuous existence of ones spirit.

I do believe that spirits continuously exist(reincarnates) and do not believe psychics are completely off when they connect with spirits after they die. I connected with both the spirit of my brother and my mother really strongly after they died in my dreams. Some people are not as tuned into the spirit world as others, but one can do meditative training in order to improve ones connection in this area. One dreams in ones sleep can connect one to the spirit world to quite a degree. Scientist rarely train intensely in the spiritual area, since it is such an opposite direction. I feel psychically my continuous existence as an individual spirit. I train extremely hard spiritually using my own intense meditative/mind-body exercises. The psychic senses that help one to tune into the spiritual have to be developed.

We really are not that advanced in the spiritual area at this time in this world and can do a lot to improve in this area. The predominating spiritual ideas that have a lot of psychic support in this world(due to a quantity of believer here)are easily tuned into by a lot of people. New more advanced spiritual ideas(recently developed and not yet having the time to gain a lot of psychic support of a lot of believers) will take more work to connect with, but will if one makes the effort to required to understand and program oneself with them will help one to become a lot more aware and effective spiritually in this world. It sure helps to have a good spiritual road map to help one better understand what is going on in this world on a deeper level.

The spiritual ideas that work the best to help us cope and do well in the physical reality we exist in right now will be the ones that will be closest to the truth. The truth tends to work! When one is really strongly challenged in this world spiritually, one has to have spiritual ideas that help you to hang in there and handle it. Any spiritual ideas that allow one a way to escape from facing this reality when it becomes really challenging through going out of existence, or going into a reality that is not as challenging will harm ones ability to hang in there. When one knows that one will spiritually continuously face similar challenges in the future even beyond this life, one will be more willing to learn how handle the intense challenges that you are now facing. This world has a lot of intense challenges right now that we need to advance spiritually in order to better handle.

Spiritual programming and Consequences(Karma)

To be good at performing well at anything it takes good training and programming.  This is true in the spiritual area.  In order to be able to behave in the way that will bring about positive consequences one needs to have good spiritual radar(intuition)to help one to sense what would be the better action to take under a given circumstance.  We live in a very complicated and challenging world, so often it can be hard to figure what would be the best action to take.  What we believe deep inside us about how reality works spiritually will have a lot of impact on how we perceive a situation and how we respond to it.  We all have guiding beliefs that affect how we see and react to things that occur in our reality.

As we transform ourselves by improving our guiding spiritual beliefs, we will be able to act in a way that will bring about more positive results.  But, improving ones beliefs is not easy and takes a lot of work.  There is a mental and spiritual process involved when it comes to building and then programming within oneself a more advance belief system.   First one build up ones spiritual/emotional/mental strength so that one will gain a stronger connection with reality.  One has to have a mind that is spiritually able to handle a stronger dose of the truth before one can improve ones beliefs.  Then, one has to do the required deep thinking( helped by using sources one senses have  a degree of spiritual reliability) in order to get all the preliminary pieces of the puzzle required, so as to construct spiritual beliefs that are even more in harmony with reality than ones previous beliefs.  When one has done the necessary preliminary thinking and explored the spiritual ideas required, one will then be ready to receive and hold onto a better spiritual belief.  When one is ready one can gain this better spiritual belief from some one else who one draws to oneself or through ones own creativity.   One has to do a lot of trial and error testing to see how well differing beliefs serve one in this world, so that one will know which beliefs are more likely to work than others.  When performing in this world one has to experiment quite a bit to find out what tend to work better.

We transform ourselves as we transform/improve our spiritual beliefs.  When we have truly transformed ourselves and imprinted better spiritual beliefs within ourselves, our behavior and habits should change for the better,  and we should produce better consequences in our lives.  One should be able to have a lot of impact on the consequences of ones past actions as a result of becoming a better version of oneself.  The effectiveness of meditation and other spiritual type actions one uses to impact ones own spiritual energy field and to send out to impact the outside world is very much affected by ones spiritual beliefs and the strength that comes with them.  One can have a lot of impact to change the negative consequences/karma of ones past behavior using the more positive and effective spiritual energy one can now direct outwardly as a result of going through the process required to reach a more positive spiritual state.

Spiritual training goes hand in hand with obtaining better spiritual beliefs.  Spiritual training not only involves spiritual practices such as prayer(chanting) and meditative techniques, but also involves taking on challenges in life that really test our selves emotionally.  We are able to test the effectiveness of our spiritual beliefs in the very challenging reality we are now in on this Earth, and by so doing see in what way we can improve them.  It is by improving ones spiritual beliefs and training that we are able to transform the spiritual state we are in and help transform the spiritual state this world in a positive(constructive) way.  We can do a lot to improve the spiritual state of ourselves and the world we live in.

Determining the Value of What One is Contributing to this World.

A religion should provide people with effective rational spiritual beliefs that help them to behave in a valuable way to themselves  and the world they exist in. How is the value gauged?

How one values things is very much affected by ones spiritual programming. Ones spiritual radar is very much affected by how good ones spiritual programming is. It helps to have spiritual programming that connects one really well with the concrete/physical world one exists in right now, in order for one to properly evaluate how much one is able to contribute in a constructive, rational, healing, way to the world one inhabits right now. It is important to value the concrete world that one exists in right now(not see it as an illusion)in order to be able to properly assess what one is contributing to it. Of course one has to take good care of oneself in order to function well enough to contribute something worthwhile to this world.
In accessing how much of value one is contributing and how to improve on this, one will often have to do some research and consult others.  There are lots of examples one can read about valuable contributions made by all sorts of people in all sorts of roles or occupations.Having rational spiritual programming helps one to act rationally which helps one to better tune into the rational link between actions and consequences. So often accidents happen as a result of people not acting in a sober rational way. Doing meditative/mind-body exercises that increase the link between the physical and the spiritual can be very helpful.

We have continuously evolved using cycles in our understanding of Science and the Spiritual

Thomas Goodwin

I do not see anything coming from ancient times that indicates in any way that they were superior to the civilizations that followed them. I feel we have continuously made progress from one civilization to the next. At least we have madeprogress over time in being able to better record in writing/print our knowledge and History. When dealing with ancient times, we have to depend a lot on our intuition to fill in the dots as to what we do not know. We have to decide which scientists are most reliable. The ancients did have a well developed brain, so they were able to do some impressive things with what knowledge they did have. But, we do not lose all the spiritual knowledge that we gain when a civilization falls apart. Any knowledge lost would soon be recovered, since the psychic trail would remain and will help it to be quickly rediscovered. Knowledge changes the human psyche on a deep spiritual level.A lot of people reincarnate continuously on this Earth, since most spirits become really attached to this planet and to other spirits who are also attached to this planet. These people who reincarnate will retain a psychic sense of that will help them to quickly rediscover when conditions are right what ever knowledge they previously were exposed to. This happens also in the spiritual area. But more new knowledge will be discovered in each successive civilization up to the present. We have not reach a level where we can not progress a lot farther than previous civilizations. We are way advanced over the Roman Empire, that was so instrumental in developing Christianity.

It should be obvious to anyone that we have a lot more growing to do in our understanding of the spiritual, based on how spiritual messed up this world now is. I do not see how anyone can see all the harsh and unhealthy conditions as well as abuse that exists in this world as being a sign that we really know what we are doing spiritually on this planet

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.

Why Do People Face So Much Abuse/Victimization? Karma?

Some people do not like the idea of Karma or Reincarnation because they do not believe anyone deserves to be born with certain disabilities or conditions that make their life extremely rough, or be the victim of terrible crimes etc.  I believe we have these primitive/harsh conditions in this world because we have not advanced this far spiritually here on this Earth at this time.  We have improved on a lot of the really harsh physical conditions that we faced in the past, as a result of our technological advances.  We have conquered a lot of disease and have made our homes more comfortable and have added a lot of useful labor saving devices.  But, we have not really done that much to improve in the spiritual area in regards to our spiritual ideas/beliefs(that really affects how well we are able to behave) as we have done in regards to our ideas/beliefs in the scientific area.  I strongly believe that this world is really messed up spiritually and we really need to improve on our spiritual beliefs, and practices/training so that we will live in a world with less abuse and unhealthy conditions that are rooted in the spiritual and how well human behave spiritually.

Terrible things happen everyday in this world and still people hold on the the primitive beliefs of the past that often have a certain acceptance of brutality built into them. A GOD that is autocratic(all powerful)and  believes in eternal torture without hope is really the most abusive GOD one could conceive of.   We can certainly improve our understanding of God and reality, and become more responsible in regards to our important spiritual role we play in improving the spiritual conditions around us.  Some religious/spiritual beliefs tend to be too passive and accepting of what abusive/harsh things are happening in this world and tend to de-emphasize the importance of this physical world we exist.  We need to stop being so passive spiritually and start really making an effort to bring real spiritual change not only to ourselves, but to the world around us.  We need to realize that we really do not know much about the spiritual at this time and need to start doing the really hard spiritual research to figure out what spiritual beliefs/ideas will help to improve the conditions we exist in in this world the most.

 

Spiritual beliefs run really deep, so do not change easily  It takes really hard inner work in order to change ones inner spiritual programming/beliefs.  That is why it often takes a crisis or really rough circumstances for individuals to be willing to change what they believe and for collective spiritual beliefs changes to happen.  I know from personal experience that It is rough having certain disabilities that make surviving in this current world extremely difficult I would not be able to push the edge as well as I can if my life had been easy and I was not so aware by personal experience how abusive/harsh a world we live in and how desperately it needs to advance to a better place spiritually.

Primitive type spiritual/religious beliefs lead to primitive spiritual/physical conditions and the abuse/hardships that come with it. We live in a fertile spiritual environment for all sorts of really messed up individuals to grow in and for cycles of abusive behavior to continue over and over again. We really need change to happen in this world, and often the people who help make this change are themselves the victims of abuse or those really hurt by having someone close to them be victimized. Sometimes people are victims of disease or tragedies that we really need to address.  People who face tragedy often do really valuable things in this world by taking on causes to try to prevent similar tragedies.  They can gain in empathy and become much stronger and better characters as a result of facing such a trial or person crisis.  Facing a crisis or tragedy can be really rough on a person, but can lead them to changing into a more valuable person spiritually and give them a valuable spiritual purpose to their life.  Crisis is often so valuable in helping people to advance spiritually.  We really need to  advanced spiritually a lot more individually and collectively so we will be able to do an awful lot to make this world a healthier and less abusive place to live both physically and spiritually.

Energy, Technology, Our Economy, and the Need for Spiritual Advancement

We are going to keep using our oil, coal, and gas resources for quite some time into the future. With the state of our world’s economy we are going to have to use what energy resources we have to get out of the mess we are in.  Alternative energy will keep developing also and play its role along with the development  more of our oil, coal, and gas resources.   The United States will also need to keep developing all of its own energy resources in order to improve its economy through gaining more energy independence.   It is true we need to advance further spiritually in this world  so that we will become better at sharing the world’s resources(including energy) with less fortunate countries and people.  We do need  to be careful about demonizing certain industries(coal, oil, nuclear)  and all the people in it. This world would not have advanced as far as it has technologically if it were not for oil, coal, gas, and nuclear power.

The greenhouse affect is being exaggerated by certain people who have an agenda. It is a problem to quite a degree, but not an unsolvable one. I think we will be able to geoengineer the climate in the future to quite a degree and also find ways to lessen how much carbon dioxide is in the atmosphere. I do not believe we will stop using our fossil fuels when they are so cheap and abundant. We have huge amounts of natural gas and coal, as well as still having quite a bit of oil left. A lot of products we use are made from petroleum.

Our climate has naturally gone through periodic ice ages and may have been headed for another one, if we had not started adding so much greenhouse gas to our atmosphere. Nature can be brutal and often man has to figure out how to tame it to some degree so as to make life more comfortable and healthy. Progress is never perfect, but usually the good out weights the bad. And often an attempt to improve things may not go very well at the beginning, but with further work and tweaking will bring a lot better results in the future than if no attempt to improve things was attempted in the first place. I am into being innovative and looking for reasonable solutions. I certainly do not see using Ox power(an idea mention by a person I know) as a reasonable solution to the worlds energy needs in the future.

        This world is very complicated, but we can if we become more capable spiritually be able to handle this complexity and the serious problems that come with it. But, we will need to start really advancing in the spiritual area and become more willing to let go or improve upon the spiritual ideas of the past. We have so much more to learn about the spiritual and we need to start working really hard to start making some progress in this area. Science has advance so much in recent times, but the spiritual has been resistant to change and having improvements and advancement made in that area.   We can do a lot to improve our spiritual beliefs/programming(understanding of the spiritual)and spiritual practices/training.  One can only become really good at anything with proper training and programming.Spiritual people need to work with science and technology and the industries related to them, rather than just constantly demonizing them.
    We can do a lot of value spiritually if we work in cooperation with others and have the spiritual strength and awareness to be able to deal with the complexity and intensity of the problems that come with our age and the people who are contending with these problems. The solutions will not be easy, and will require a multifaceted approach. We have to much polarization in this world today, and this is making solutions to our serious problems so much more difficult. We need to start looking for the degree of truth that can be found in all the points of view presented when ever we are trying to find a workable solution to a problem

Learning & Improving Spiritually utilizing Real Live Human Sources

People who are attracted to beliefs that are unchangeable tend to like the spiritual beliefs of people from the past who are not alive right now and able to update or improve their beliefs in the present. Their beliefs become frozen in time and have the unchanging quality that come with the past. I prefer to deal with the beliefs of people living today and able to improve on their beliefs as they grow further spiritually. Face to face contact with believers really helps one to evaluate the spiritual energy they send out that comes along with their beliefs. One can learn a lot this way. One does not have to always learn from high profile celebrity spiritual thinkers/visionaries.
