Unfriending probably 10 per day, sad, angry, resentful. But mostly simply acknowledging that the word friend means something, and a friend not in deed is no friend.

Tired. The stress of the travel down through the Rockies, the frightening Siskiyou Pass, the frightening Travels afterwards, have taken their toll. This old system is tired. The solar bike car Harvester micro RV is performing beautifully. It has really been completed this last month with the help of some of you, and it's driver is becoming more knowledgeable of what the limits are, so it is being put less under undue stress. But the human part of the equation seems a bit broken. 60 miles south of here is a nondescript little State campground on a Lake, Recreation Area. Looks reasonably quiet. 20 bucks a night. It seems prudent for this nervous system to go there for a day or two to see if it can restore itself. https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=10212442432968792&id=1620551416

My passion, and awe, at nature seems to be gone. This concerns me though I don't know if it should. Surely it is a consequence of the human atrocities that we visit on each other and creation everyday, that I live, refusing to turn away. I may decide that the passion for nature must be rekindled in me. Or maybe not. Not sure.

I know of no one alive today that so sees, speaks, lives the essential truths, as I. Hence I will end in obscurity, like Jesus. Jesus not obscure? Jesus changed the world? I totally disagree. His name is known, the religion of fear of the scribes and Pharisees was rebranded in his name. We know them, their religion, no, we do not know Jesus that man is obscure. The one in a million exception proves the rule. Gandhi for example who said, I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ. Earth is less christ-like than the day that Jesus lived.

The genuinely nice, kind, intelligent, fundamentalist Christian teacher this morning, my age, was certain that the Golden Rule, do unto others all you would have them do unto you, was not in the Bible. This honest man could cite chapter and verse but he was certain that was not there. It is. Look it up. Searching on my phone outside I found it, multiple places, went back in and showed him, he was genuinely surprised, my age, had not seen it before, and did not deny it. Jesus religion of Love, is unknown among fundamentalists. All they know and believe is the old rule of fear. The scribes and Pharisees won.

The pressure increases. If you stand for nothing people flock to stand with you. If you stand for something, you stand alone when people realize that. The one individual cyclist in Silicon Valley who offered a place to park legally just backed out. Out of the 30 that I contacted, along with every Unitarian Universalist Church, every Quaker Meeting, no room at the Inn. I'm not surprised but I hadn't understood. I understand now. The political stances that I take people out there are terrified of being associated with. Sure looking like jail time for vagrancy.

The same vehicle that crash-landed down the Fearsome pass in Seattle, your vehicle, which you......... helped repair and strengthen, just conquered Siskiyou Pass. You doubled the climbing capacity by doubling the battery storage, you enabled a climbing gear on the motor and the climbing gear for the cyclist, and many details that made this all come together, and the repairs, the replacement and backup rims, tires, tubes, Tire liners to reduce Flats. No Flats today by the way. and you strengthened the trailer axle. Almost not, almost didn't complete today's Journey. Well, the pass was okay, but as some of you know I was more concerned about the secondary roads California would force me onto, off of the interstate. Subsequently I thought I saw a way to do it. I was sure. 2 miles from the summit of Siskiyou is a gorgeous Lodge for Rich folks. Callahan's. I stopped for something to eat. And to let the vehicle soak up some electrons. What I could afford was coffee and a tip so that's what happened. As I sat there I looked more carefully at the route down from Siskiyou to where I am now. It looked great, the secondary roads. On the elevation profile, however, there was this tiny little Notch, tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny I hadn't noticed it before. My friend Bill in Ashland who's home I stayed several days, an extraordinary Global cyclist, had no recollection of it. It was where the secondary Road crossed Shasta River, and upon closer examination it was a climb, 250 ft, in one tenth of a mile. This vehicle can pretty well handle a 250 foot climb over a mile. This was 10 times more than was possible. There are portions of Interstate 5 where it is legal for bicycles. That was much of the 10 Mile descent from Siskiyou Pass. But then it went illegal. But the alternative route was impossible for this vehicle. So reluctantly The Voyage continued on the interstate. Traffic was light. The shoulder was wide and clean. No structural reason why cyclists would have been excluded. And the bicycle gods did not decide to get me arrested today. I think they're saving that for Silicon Valley. As the bicycle travels, Silicon Valley is between 350 and 400 miles away. Barring any unexpected travel disasters I expect to arrive Silicon Valley next weekend. Wow, the poor disc brakes with all that 10 miles of steep descent today.

So far, everything according to plan or better. The new gears, the fan cooling the motor. Averaging...... about four and a half miles an hour. Currently at the switch back. If the Google lady is correct about one-third of the climb is done and two-thirds remain, 1355 feet. There should be enough energy in the batteries to make it all the way to the top but to be prudent and conservative the vehicle and I are stopped at the switch back for half an hour or so charging at a rate of 230 watts per hour.

7:15 tomorrow morning is the expected beginning of the assault on the 2000 foot, 6 degree plus climb of Siskiyou Pass. It might be easy. It might be impossible for this vehicle and me. By midday the answer should be clear. Knowledgeable and kind Souls have provided what information they can although no one has experience with this kind of vehicle so that's a limiting factor.

Looks like jail time ahead in Silicon Valley for vagrancy. I will not shy away. I know of one so-called friend that has tried to avert this by tapping his Network. So far...... nothing, apparently. One friend has apparently found a possibility in Santa Cruz but that's a different location. I have nearly exhausted the bicycle support group. One positive response. Another brother in Berkeley has found a place for the vehicle to park and that's a blessing. But Palo Alto, Mountain View, Sunnyvale, nothing. Time in jail and who knows what'll happen to the vehicle. oh, and still no room at the Inn. Nearly every Quaker Meeting and every United Church of Christ, and every Unitarian Universalist Church has been contacted by email or phone, no room at the Inn. No reply. F****** cowards.

James, many of us are living the nightmare. Respectfully I disagree, I replied. I see many existing in the Nightmare, and living in denial of it. At the same time. To live the nightmare is to be at total all out War to stop it. I....... feel very very alone in that. Near totally, more so every day. I see many in sympathy with the cause, almost none committed. This is not a condemnation it is an honest and sorrowful observation. My father's generation said, where can I enlist? Today's generations say, what will it cost me? What can I do? I don't know what to do, and on and on and on and on and on. Endless denial, endless excuses.

As someone committed to saving the world, there is little that I saw at Standing Rock that I liked, that was of any substantial hope, and even less afterwards. But to the.... nice man yesterday, and the millions like him, that said, well, I have mixed emotions about Standing Rock. The tons and tons of garbage. To that man I say, number one you were not there. You don't know except what the fossil-fuel owned media told you. And that should humble you if you care the least about the truth. Number two, and more important. I would take 100 of whatever you think the Refuge mountains were, I would take 100 standing rocks as you envision it, for a half of the forest land burned because of global warming in the Northwestern United States. And I would take a thousand of your worst imaginings of Standing Rock refuse, for what was just done in the last couple of months to the Caribbean, Puerto Rico, and the southeastern United States. Read the Birmingham Jail letter from dr. King sometime. My problem is not the White Citizens committee or the KKK, he said. My problem is the white moderate that says I agree with your cause, but I do not agree with the way you are fighting.

Truth, if it is important and new to you, has the features of a paradigm, and may be exactly a paradigm shift for you. It requires the effort to physically expand and adjust your nervous system so that you can accommodate and encompass the new truth. Think of the effort required simply to see a new visual Paradigm, the old woman and the young woman in the same picture, for example.

For those who accept the status quo, even if they say they don't like it, there is never, has never been, a way acceptable to them for others to fight for change. Ever. They always hate it........ Every life, every effort, has collateral consequences, collateral damage. Those who detest efforts to change the status quo accept Earth destroying levels of collateral damage as long as those are aligned with maintaining the status quo. But collateral damage despite the best efforts to avoid it among agents of change, totally unacceptable. Horrible. Detestable. Unless or until it is at a safe enough Geographic or historical distance that in their cowardice they can say it was a good thing. Never in the present. A pleasant gentleman, late 40s, white male, approached me in the Starbucks about this vehicle and ones he builds for amphibious races, pedal-powered. At some point I mentioned Standing Rock and immediately, although still Pleasant, he went right into an authoritative stance that Standing Rock was in large part of bad thing, created mountains of garbage. He knew that what I said was false, when I said that if a hurricane or police force came in and destroyed the buildings around us here in Grants Pass, there would be mountains of garbage. He wasn't there, I was, he had no reason to think that I was deceitful, and yet he was the authority and knew what he wanted to believe and wanted to hear nothing to the contrary. The mountain ranges of wreckage that he as a Westerner leaves on Earth with his Western overconsumption and entitlement is of course, entirely acceptable to him. But people that stumble out trying to figure out how to improve the future, detestable to him. And to most people.

Truth cannot be given one to another, at best it can only be made more likely of being discovered. This lesson is not one I have wanted to learn and have resisted learning it all these decades. But there it is. When one tries........ to give the truth as best one knows it almost invariably it renders it invisible. The intended receiver may well think that they have received the truth, but again, almost invariably they have received at best a mere Shadow and lost the inclination to dig deeper for the essentials. I must stop doing this disservice to people. In this light I better understand why our great human beings have had so little impact on the world, Martin Luther King Junior, Gandhi, and they are like. We quickly here platitudes, decide we now grasp what they had two teachers, move on, and never Advanced our core understanding.
I replied, that's odd, I can't think of anything that anyone could say or do that would make me stop fighting for the well-being of folks I care about as best I could. This to the nice person on Facebook that had just posted about how the folks they were finding in the free Palestine movement, some of them were nasty. And that therefore the person wouldn't be fighting to free Palestine anymore. We are brilliant at finding excuses for ourselves, pathologically brilliant.

A year in prison for standing Rock, has been averted by diligent and competent work by my lawyer. Court-appointed but funded in part I think by guardian angels. Final paperwork has been received. No court time, no jail time, minimal fine, record expunged in 12 months time. Time in prison could have been a wonderful opportunity to serve human rights but this mission is a better way so it is an incredible blessing that that was averted at this time.

Coming out of the bike shop that is wonderfully rescuing my vehicle from disaster due to a broken rear wheel, and substantially strengthening it, and critically weakening my financial position which is already on life support, I came across a gaggle of beautiful....... women my age, women in black. Women in black they announce themselves as. They invited me to lunch and later I attended. Mary Beth was among them, 88 years old, a self-described peace pilgrim that has traveled the country promoting peace. Such a magnificent soul. All of them very nice Souls. It was a great joy. They seemed to want to know much about my story and journey. They seemed to receive some inspiration from it. When folks genuinely wants to know what I'm doing, it causes me to connect with depths of emotion that generally I don't connect with. Quite frequently I was choked up.

The heart is one hell of a pilot. About 15 years ago I got tired of my head and flesh being in charge and made the heart, soul, my pilot. It is one hell of a ride. Not for one breath..... have I regretted it. And early in my business career of running into failing situations to turn them around, I started to get pretty good at it. There was no way that my fairly sharp mind was going to figure things out in time. I had to turn to that much larger part of the nervous system, the heart, feed it like crazy with appropriate information, and hope it coughed up the Solutions in time. Pretty regularly it did. And that's the way miracles happen. Einstein said something like, I think 99 times and nothing. I go swim in a quiet pool and there's the answer.

This in response to the man, wow, he said, you're involved with a lot of issues, obviously disturbed, who....... kept clutched in his hand the money he had thought to donate as he asked me to stop on the side of the road to talk with he and his friend. When he saw the free Palestine on the left front tire, he changed his mind. It was wonderfully awkward.

Unless you help, I'm likely to go to jail, stay in jail. Die in jail. And the vehicle possibly destroyed. The mission ended. This vehicle is going to be seen in Silicon Valley if it kills me. They already built f****** Trump's wall, but....... financially, invisible. And with immoral laws. These f****** Masters of the Universe have passed laws to make it illegal to sleep in vehicles in their Ivory Towers. F****** bastards. Many times now I have put the word out for people to find places where this vehicle can park for the night legally so that the driver can sleep. Nothing so far. Tap your networks, find someplace for this vehicle to park at night in San Jose, Milpitas, Mountain View, Palo Alto, Santa Cruz, Santa Clara. Prepare to do jail support if safe lodging does not emerge. Or do nothing. Have a nice day.

Reminder to self. the one adult population among whom I have been substantially welcome throughout my adulthood is the population of people with an extreme, complex, problem. an emergency....... , if you will, where they thought I might be able to help. Beyond that, not so much, not very long. Initially they naturally project on me a type of person with which they are familiar, they fairly rapidly discover that I am not something that fits in a traditional mold, extremely intense, extremely devoted to a just world, and I become unwelcome pretty fast, although rarely are people rude.
Wow, Francis on politics. Wow.......

Oh, it is definitely a stress fracture in the right tibia, or something with exactly, exactly, exactly the same symptoms. If someone has access to a friendly doctor, it sure would...... be nice to know what happens if one does not rest, but moderately keeps using the leg. I am doing so and the pain seems to be moderating so far. Help needed.

Note to self. To be a better vehicle for the totally essential creative tension, I must do a better job of pointing two truths, but leaving room for others to they're by Discover it. Baby, if we give Cruise too clearly, too easily, we prevent it from being seen.

Threatening to kill me, pretty much every day, for fifteen years now, is telling the truth. But the moment I stop, I have killed myself, all joy. It is the way, the only way. Jesus, king, Gandhi.

We miss the essential truths unless something causes us to look really really really hard. Ever see the picture of the young woman and the old woman?

There was a really wonderful, tremendously awkward, scene in the Robin Williams movie, Patch Adams, where the old man said, look at my fingers, what do you see!?!? This is what Willy Wonka knew, isn't it? Can I love enough, to become this way?

I love the truth above everything because the truth is necessary to love everything, and anything. I do not know the group that loves truth more than it loves its own Darkness. The........ conservative town breathtakingly kind and supportive to this mission, but then they found out that I call out conservative to behavior that I find destructive. And then it went dead. And the same thing happened in a very liberal town. Breathtakingly supportive. And then things went dead. I am not conservative. I am not liberal. I stand with the truth that gives life as best I can, and I call out what I think leads to death. I do not know the group that loves truth more than its own Darkness.

Approximately 10 Days travel from time of departure until Silicon Valley. If all goes smoothly. The drought has returned to going over Siskiyou Pass. If that is survived, unless the maps are incorrect as far as elevation, the rest of the journey you should be difficult but achievable. Estimated departure Wednesday, depending upon the arrival of a rear wheel rim to replace the brake discovered today.

Switching to blogger, another reason. The Path, the revolution, what Jesus and Gandhi and I walk, is a profound paradigm shift. It is...... very hard to learn to see life this way because it is so Farhan and all are examples are in the opposite direction. But learning to see a new paradigm, look it up if you're not familiar, he is always hard. It takes work. And like the picture of the old woman and the young woman simultaneously that cannot be seen at the same time, the path can be looked at, but not seen, with the liquor not realizing they don't see. So by being so accessible on Facebook I may be feeding the notion that I'm seeing without being seen. Rare is it that someone does not experience me with great excitement until they get closer to knowing me. Then the reaction can be very negative. Hey realize I am not what they projected on me to be, but they don't realize they are not seeing me, and the path.
I don't feel foolish, but it's funny. What terrified me literally yesterday, is a challenge and feeling ready to face today. This is a repeated pattern. If it doesn't kill you grow. I'm........
I don't feel foolish, but it's funny. What terrified me literally yesterday, is a challenge and feeling ready to face today. This is a repeated pattern. If it doesn't kill you grow. I'm........ thinking of the Terrible unknown crushing climbs down from Siskiyou pass for 100 miles. Back roads in the middle of nowhere. But it happens repeatedly. Like depression, or maybe a form of depression, fear, Terror, can be very adaptive. Shocking the nervous system into a brief Retreat, giving time to ponder, regroup, learn.
Zero credit to me, I think nearly everybody needs what I have to offer, a clear view of the path to life. But maybe no one feels the need for me. You got to want Jesus, the man, bad. You kind of want Gandhi, bad. You got to want James, the path, bad. I'm thinking I baby wasting everyone's time, and being a coward, by being so accessible, I'm thinking of Facebook. There is a significant chance that all of my posting will be done on Blogger now, much less easy to get to but very easy for those that want. In a way I think I've been disguising what is available by being so available.

update. The sky seems less dark now.
the sky seems the sky seems less dark, less deadly, than it did The middle of last night. It turns out that there is gearing available from a small company that can give the motor better advantage on horribly steep climbs. Not terribly expensive and should arrive for my pickup and installation tomorrow. Even more important I'm told by several parties that instead of going south through Siskiyou Pass two Sacramento, that heading to the coast now, Brookings, and then down the coast is much less hostile. And reexamining the map it seems that may be the case. It is not interstate and the problem with that is there can be extremely steep climbs. And sometimes the maps do not show that. But with this new gearing at the least it appears that heading to the coast and then down to San Francisco is much less suicidal then heading south to Sacramento.
I'm frightened. The mission is in big trouble. Help likely required.
I will totally get through this. You know me. I'm quite frightened. I don't feel foolish. I'm pressing so hard that I can only look so far ahead. And no support. Any sane version of this would have a ground crew of three or four people working out all the details I had. Siskiyou Pass makes truckers turn white. 7 miles of twisting 6 degree grade either side of the pass. It is a killer. That has been my focus and I still think I can get up at. I've asked people to research bicycle use of Highway shoulders like I've done the last four states. No one apparently has had time to do so. I made time in the middle of the night tonight. It looks like it is almost never allowed. Why is that a problem? The next 300 miles down to Sacramento. Way way way way way off in Parkland. All it takes is one long 10 degree Hill off on some back road and this vehicle is stopped. I see 4 options. Scrap the mission. Find a truck to take it from Ashland Oregon where I expect to arrive tonight or tomorrow and take it to Sacramento. Run the interstate in the middle of the night and take the consequences . Or try and turn this vehicle into a mountain goat. Flatbed truck, or turning this into a mountain goat, is going to take money. There is a gear made in Germany but costs about $1,500. Everyone in the industry knows about it, rholoff the name, sp? That alone won't suffice. A lower gearing is needed on the motor.. Scrapping the mission turns it into a total loss. That's not going to happen. Oh, and someone got me blocked on Facebook and messenger until Tuesday or Wednesday

So much hatred. Pretty much empty wide Road. All of a sudden a car slowing down next to me blaring the horn. I was not inclined to look. Hardly even disturbed. But I imagine I would have seen an extended middle finger and rabid hatred on the face, this as I listen to an article on Trump talk in Harrisburg Pennsylvania last week. This as I look at this magnificent land, populated almost entirely by white people, many Blue Collar working people. They are blinded by their Fury, ... See FB May 2017
