The Sheltering in place in Asheville North Carolina for now.

My friend from high school Phyllis and new friend Alan have warmly welcomed me into their home and feel that they are glad to have me stay as long as is necessary. An incredible blessing. Another act by the sponsors in Hunger Games? This is the only friend that months ago when this journey began said that they were hoping to see me on my way through. It is total coincidence that I am here at this time. Sponsors from Hunger Games?

Every group is 1/3 virulent sociopaths. Whether they rule, or are contained, is up to the 2/3. Extreme Social distancing, or doom.


Doctors and nurses? I love you. We are not worth it. Stop risking your lives. Thank you.

The good news: Everyone that listens to Trump and the Republicans on the virus is much more likely to die than the rest of us.


Well, James just successfully relaced his real rear-wheel.

A particularly satisfying, gratifying, and important experiment. It is not the new spokes, they will not arrive until middle of next week if the shipment happens from San Jose on Friday. But it is a relacing of the old spokes as a trial to see if James could do it, and so that the vehicle is mobile until the new spokes arrive. Yes, we have not tried to move yet but there's every reason to think that it will go fine. James has been building these skills by observing prior wheel Builders and by frequently replacing spokes. This is a very useful Milestone to have passed.

No one can save us but ourselves. But these are the only two that could do what is needed in their roles. Biden would be the final nail in the coffin.


James, did you find a home in Asheville?

Until middle of next week John. I'm just unclear so far in Discerning what I should do after that. If there were a lot less old white folks the country the world would be much better off. Objectively. That speaks to me resuming travel, at least a little bit. But the capitalist class is in pain over this which means this is hurting the capitalist structure. And that's a miraculous thing. That speaks to me trying to shelter in place someplace. But where?

With friends in Asheville North Carolina until spokes arrive mid next week. Then heading north toward Maine 30 days away. the.... time between now and when the spokes arrive hopefully from San Jose California will be spent on big and small projects fortifying Sol the wonderful vehicle. Including a trial run hopefully to complete tomorrow on testing my ability to totally rebuild a wheel. And a long punch list of other items. 



Not that it matters but this is I think the 4th night since departing California last July that James is inside . Interesting. These folks here an Asheville are so kind to me. It's very nice to be with Them although I am as much fun as a root canal, keeping my focus on what I can do to help the world which doesn't help them very much. 

 Didn't get much sleep last night because every little sinus drip or Body impulse made me wonder if I had dragged the virus in here to these folk. I suspect a lot of people are having such hypochondria. I don't much find myself minding the idea of getting the virus regardless of the consequences to me but giving it to these folks, I'd rather die. 

Trump and his GOP goons are vastly more deadly than the virus. Seriously. No? And we totally deserve them.


I think this pandemic, economic depression, is one last wake up call. A potential halt load, restart.


3.23.2020

Who can say that America, Americans, the human species does not deserve Trump and the Republicans? And the Coronavirus?


The only people I feel sorry for are those the think but their lives and resources are for themselves. They are the poor.


Cycling. Four years of failure? Trying to solve the wrong problem almost all this time?


That's how it seems. And my concern is anyone that I have led down the wrong path. I've had it all wrong I think. almost certain. 

 Maybe in some cycling one gages off of how the powae 1 Provides moves the object to be moved. In this case Sol obviously.  so when a motion of the body creates a clear forward movement that is to be repeated, correct? It just doesn't work with saul and James. And for almost 3 years with one or maybe 2 exceptions that is what James has been trying to do, the problem he has been trying to solve, How to launch saul forward with his help 

 Iowa may have been exception 

 The Times out of grand Junction Colorado may have been an exception. There was a time going South in Oregon or Washington when pumping energy out of the ground concept. Perenium eggbeater…. 

These just mentioned may have been and probably were exceptions to a degree What the intuitive Desire of the body to figure out how to launch sol forward and to minimize exertion have been the dominant. 

 Yesterday an impossibly long difficult ride on top of several prior After an hour or so something different took place . Don't try to launch forward James in fact savor every delay as an additional instant where you can inject energy into the ride, not the movement, into the journey. It caused a change in orientation, Rather than the body trying to launch energy forward it intuitively moved to the direction Downward. It just happened. from maybe 70゚ forward to 45゚ Down. 

A complementary Notion had occurred prior then that was a notion of different gear levels for James' body but not gears but felt level of Energy contribution tactile at the knees. And radiation such as 05/10/15 20  pounds have been discussed. 

Wow, guess who's back. The emphasis on the up rising leg. But different. Attempting to maintain a felt 0.1 pound of pressure against the top every centimeter of travel along the road. The lower leg takes care of itself. 

Savoring weightlessness of the upper leg. 100% of the time. lower leg delivering that weightlessness. 

Saver continuous weightlessness 100 of the of the time, an uprising leg seems to be an ideal timing and synchronization device. At least for the last 45 minutes everything else takes care of itself. 

The capitalist world econ machine was killing everything. The virus is stalling that. The few of us it kills may be cheap price.


I'm torn as what to do. Do I continue my mission living solidarity with the other homeless? Do I shelter and protect my tiny monthly income that I share with the needy? Is there any place I can shelter?

If Saul is finally stable it is 3 or 4 days to Asheville where a high-school friend lives.


Sol has been trying to kill me this past week. Maybe today we came to terms. Mechanical week from hell.


So very exhausting it has been with the vehicle sounding like it tear apart. 6 hours repair work today and roughly two hours each day for the last three or four, but the time today finally it sounds like a healthy vehicle again. I don't assume we're out of the woods but we might be. Bicycle and E bike parts for a vehicle that weighs one quarter of this.

3.15.2020

Pretty distracted I've been the last couple of days. This wonderful vehicle went totally unstable and right on the verge of total meltdown with a good likelihood of motor destruction. But I think we've stepped back from the brink. Hoping you all are well. I really have no idea what challenges lie ahead for this Mission because of the virus thing. Is everything going to be shut down? How will we eat? I'm guessing that truck stops will be fairly protected and it seems like Walmarts will be open. Interesting times. I had something that was hitting me with great waves of fatigue and nasty gastric problems. I have some fond hope that it was a mild form of the virus. Time will tell.

3.09.2020

A best ride ever? The best ride ever? A fluke?

Another 55 Mi a day after three or four of those already. This body is going Way Beyond the Call of Duty.

Today was

3.06.2020

Super Tuesday did not destroy my confidence in Sanders, no, but what tiny shred of confidence I had left in the American people.


James is beginning to live to please Jesus, and God. But he does not believe in God.

Throughout my professional life I thrived by finding clients who I wanted to be delighted and to perform accordingly and grow myself as needed to do so. I have simply made two individuals in my imagination my clients, not my only clients, but primary clients. And in the recent days that I've done so I feel my intensity level of performance and joy increasing.

3.05.2020

The sides of the spherical object, the cylindrical object vertical between the knees is where the speed of rotation, the velocity is found.



 How many times before James has realized this he does not recall. It has been operating so many of The Times that everything was going well. But if it was brought to conscious competence before it has been lost and forgotten. Alzheimer's? Whatever.

With all the wonderful revelations of yesterday and they probably are, they were not sufficient from the 1st 40 minutes to return that wonderful performance at the end. It took a new element being brought to mind . That the Side of the object is where the current velocity and therefore the necessary velocity is to be found. Worth remembering maybe every trip at the beginning?

item. Drop the Heel a little bit. Dropped the Heel a little bit.

Item. Watch the size of the object at the knees. It matters. The task is to move the knees past synchronized that vertical cylindrical object. Today the diameter of the knees was a bit too wide so the proper leverage point vs that object kept throwing the body out of whack. Too small is not good but too large is not either.

My child is the human soul. It is near death. That is my concern. That is where my work is. For Joy.


Christianity: 1 part Jesus, 99,999 parts made up by others. Fact. Ongoing.

3.4.20 cycling

Cycling. Very good ride so far. 

item. Roiling the knees has to move the pedals. 

Item. Roiling the knees is smothe circular or it is losing contact with the mechanism 

item. All power is at the knees so adjust accordingly to disempower the feet and empower the knees. 

Item. Generally reaching lower w the knees is a way of empowering and keeping them in contact with the 360゚ object. This is not intuitive nor does the body rebel. 

Item. Lower legs completely limp linkages  relaxed, completely unflexed. This took an hour and a 1/2 or more to evolve. The level of trust seems almost impossible but then it comes. Knees sort of floating as they circularly Royal. 

Cycling continued. Well, this is surprising. Focusing all energy  on the inside of the knee seems to be of multiple important benefits. For whatever reasons the right leg wants to splay outward today. And focusing all energy on the inside of the knee which seems as much psychological as anything else a Effective way of dealing with that But it also seems to contribute to the relaxing owes a lower leg to be a limp Linkage . It even seems increasing the power output. 

2.25.20 Cycling Variety of important related notes.

Cycling Variety of important related notes. 

Item. round heavy object between the knees is back. It is mechanically real derive from the circularity of all the other mechanical elements 

 item. Rotating that heavy object. That is the task, to find its current rotation, it is heavy, and to add energy to that period 

Item. Adding energy where? Adding energy not at the initial point of attack possible, but along what effectively are the sides from that period This maybe a relatively gigantic discovery. And it may be for lack of understanding this set so many months and years have passed since Iowa pretty 

Item. The notion of a fast trot Mention 1st the other day continues to be helpful, not dominant or determinative but helpful. 

  item. Extremely important. Emerge yesterday or the day before. Complete relaxation of the lower leg So that it allows direct firm contact 360゚ At the knees with the round circular objects that they are. The needs are. A form that object. But any tension in the lower legs Reduces that direct contact. Game changing. The following item made this discovery or re discovery possible. 

Item. As mission within the last week, the Recognition of the following mechanics, following the canaco truth, have proved instrumental. If the knees are an object roiling in a circular manner Then the pedals must be receiving pressure, the petals must be rotating also. therefore can be virtually and should be virtually ignored. Profoundly enabling.  it is not intuitively obvious. But now that it is brought to mind it is tremendously empowering of really good things.

Cycling continued. Also crucial. James, you cannot go back. If you have allowed momentum to decrease, velocity of rotation to decrease. if you have allowed that don't pretend other wise. You're only break and overexert yourself. Recalibrate, gracefully accept your new velo city of rotation and work from there. everything else, your natural inclination is destructive fantasy. Nothing to be gained everything to be lost. Be honest with Where You Are.

Item. Remembering that the objects that gives the news is constant velocity unless the vehicle is dramatically changing in speed.

I imagine voting for Only Sanders. And if that means Trump reelect, so be it. Slow deaths have never been my favorite.


3.03.2020

2.22.20 If the round object that is the knees is roiling then the pedals must be moving. That is to say that the only job is to properly Royal that round thing that is the knees and everything else happens not always on James mind is this but when brought to mind it is always welcome friend.

If the round object that is the knees is roiling then the pedals must be moving. That is to say that the only job is to properly Royal that round thing that is the knees and everything else happens not always on James mind is this but when brought to mind it is always welcome friend.

2.18.20 Cycling. A new friend with echoes from the past . Move weight onto the back off the feet empowering the knees .


No change in direction at all from logs of the last month. But a nice consolidation show up today. A good ride 2 days ago but some skeletal strain began to show in the hips . Not the fault of earlier techniques but still sent James searching. 

 .... Anyway, As with all blogs in the last months Getting in touch with the circular things that the roiling knees are is extremely helpful, central time a constant velocity stair step. 

This really promising addition today helps implement and reinforce and protect that period 

Today is a fairly intense travel day, James carrying himself plus 700 pounds Chris 

 And this at for miles an hour. And in no circumstances when the grade increases even a little bit that loss of momentum is felt and the impulse of James' body is to likely lean forward and pressed forward with the like. 

 this new friend,  mentioned in the headline, Are a much healthier response to that with everything gained and nothing lost. Transfer body weight to James back and lower upper shoulders off of feet all weight transferred that way. And people knees roiling at a very fast jogging katel spirit Wonderful output wonderful sustainability No seeming the scriptural press . A routine the James' very much hope C remembers.

2.16.20 Iowa. A final piece of the riddle. Maintaining vehicle momentum, to minimize electrical input.


 Without the miracle of momentum idea the miracle of Iowa would not have happened. James and sol had not a fraction of the battery or motor capacity that we now have, less than half. Nor the wall outlet AC recharge ability nor technique and comfort and strategy. So everything leading up to Iowa and after was a zealous and enjoyable fascinatione and attempt to maximize miles per electrical watthr and because of this it was realized that , And realized after a year or more of moving the vehicle, it was realized that to optimize efficiency meant minimize even the smallest loss of momentum because regaining physical momentum and the vehicle is extremely costly. Even then we were probably a 800 pounds total. 

So the notion of momentum was extremely real in that sense Find a wonderful natural motivator of James once it became clear in the final day I think leading up to Iowa Where he wanted the veh and himself to show well as an honest means of transportation in 

 It may or may not be that in this log James recalls what yesterday and today rocket back. I just might not remember. What it came back It came back. And for the last hour and a 1/2 or 2 James has explored Having that idea of maintaining the minute momentum, inertia , of sol At all times. And it has when it so today at least a wonderful natural intuitive motivator and informer of the body. So many of the goals spoken out in recent weeks and months and years are just naturally harnessed by this so Chris lock today and the experience today does not supplant anything of the logs in recent weeks there is no. It affirms them and it adds alongside them a wonderful means, a simple idea, but does so much to make Because so much to make all those wonderful conceptions naturally happen.

 a life without love is not only the curse of modernity, but one of the primary reasons totalitarian movements can recruit so many followers. These followers seek in the state or the party the love and intimacy they have been denied in their personal lives. The state sanctifies their rage. Violence fills up the emotional void. They mistake comrades for family.

Where the virus of hatred flourishes, loving is killed. Where the virus of loving is sown, hatred recedes. This is the only physics that matters now.

Instead of a society resting on coercion, exploitation, and inequality, Jesus desired to found a society resting on love, service, and equality. These new principles.... were so much the essence of his character and of his view of life, that he lived them out spontaneously and taught them in everything that he touched in his conversations or public addresses. God is a father; men are neighbors and brothers; let them act accordingly. Let them love, and then life will be true and good. Let them seek the kingdom, and all things will follow. Under no circumstance let them suffer fellowship to be permanently disrupted. If an individual or a class was outside of fraternal relations, he set himself to heal the breach. The kingdom of God is the true human society; the ethics of Jesus taught the true social conduct which would create the true society. This would be Christ’s test for any custom, law, or institution: does it draw men together or divide them?

If a man hates us or persecutes and reviles us, we must refuse to let fraternity be ruined, and must woo him back with love and blessings (Matthew 5:43–48). If he smites us in the face, we must turn the other cheek instead of doubling the barrier by returning the blow (Matthew 5:38–42)

The fundamental virtue in the ethics of Jesus was love, because love is the society-making quality. Human life originates in love. It is love that holds together the basal human organization, the family. The... physical expression of all love and friendship is the desire to get together and be together. Love creates fellowship. In the measure in which love increases in any social organism, it will hold together without coercion. If physical coercion is constantly necessary, it is proof that the social organization has not evoked the power of human affection and fraternity. Hence when Jesus prepared men for the nobler social order of the kingdom of God, he tried to energize the faculty and habits of love and to stimulate the dormant faculty of devotion to the common good. Love with Jesus was not a flickering and wayward emotion, but the highest and most steadfast energy of a will bent on creating fellowship.

The highest type of goodness is that which puts freely at the service of the community all that a man is and can be. The highest type of badness is that which uses up the wealth and happiness and virtue of the community to please self....

Because Jesus believed in the organic growth of the new society, he patiently fostered its growth, cell by cell. Every human life brought under control of the new spirit which he himself embodied and revealed was an advance of the kingdom of God. Every time..... the new thought of the Father and of the right life among men gained firmer hold of a human mind and brought it to the point of action, it meant progress. It is just as when human tissues have been broken down by disease or external force, and new tissue is silently forming under the old and weaving a new web of life. Jesus incarnated a new type of human life and he was conscious of that. By living with men and thinking and feeling in their presence, he reproduced his own life in others and they gained faith to risk this new way of living. This process of assimilation went on by the natural capacities inherent in the social organism, just as fresh blood will flow along the established arteries and capillaries. When a nucleus of likeminded men was gathered about him, the assimilating power was greatly reinforced. Jesus joyously felt that the most insignificant man in his company who shared in this new social spirit was superior to the grandest exemplification of the old era, John the Baptist (Matthew 11:11). Thus Jesus worked on individuals and through individuals, but his real end was not individualistic, but social, and in his method he employed strong social forces. He knew that a new view of life would have to be implanted before the new life could be lived and that the new society would have to nucleate around personal centers of renewal. But his end was not the new soul, but the new society; not man, but Man.

Jesus had realized the life of God in the soul of man and the life of man in the love of God. That was the real secret of his life, the well-spring of his purity, his compassion, his unwearied courage, his unquenchable idealism: he knew the Father. But if he had that greatest of all possessions, the

Jesus had realized the life of God in the soul of man and the life of man in the love of God. That was the real secret of his life, the well-spring of his purity, his compassion, his unwearied courage, his unquenchable idealism: he knew the Father. But if he had that greatest of all possessions, the... real key to the secret of life, it was his highest social duty to share it and help others to gain what he had. He had to teach men to live as children in the presence of their Father, and no longer as slaves cringing before a despot. He had to show them that the ordinary life of selfishness and hate and anxiety and chafing ambition and covetousness is no life at all, and that they must enter into a new world of love and solidarity and inward contentment. There was no service that he could render to men which would equal that. All other help lay in concentric circles about that redemption of the spirit and flowed out from it.

No comprehension of Jesus is even approximately true which fails to understand that the heart of his heart was religion. No man is a follower of Jesus in the full sense who has not through him entered into the same life with God. But on the other hand no man shares his life with God whose religion does not flow out, naturally and without effort, into all relations of his life and reconstructs everything that it touches. Whoever uncouples the religious and the social life has not understood Jesus. Whoever sets any bounds for the reconstructive power of the religious life over the social relations and institutions of men, to that extent denies the faith of the Master.

 If we want to understand the real aims of Jesus, we must watch him in his relation to his own times. He was not a timeless religious teacher, philosophizing vaguely on human generalities. He spoke for his own age, about concrete conditions, responding to the stirrings of the life that surged about him. We must follow him in his adjustment to the tendencies of the time, in his affinity for some men and his repulsion of others. That is the method by which we classify and locate a modern thinker or statesman.

Three choices in our zero sum world: 1. Joy. Live for the neediest. 2. Pleasure, happiness. Starve the neediest of the resources they are dying for. 3. There is no 3.
