***** By orders of magnitude the group I have most enjoyed living among are the several hundred outcast, poor, abused, systemically neglected, cast off, near all of color... Homeless men that I live with. Never before

***** By orders of magnitude the group I have most enjoyed living among are the several hundred outcast, poor, abused, systemically neglected, cast off, near all of color... Homeless men that I live with. Never before have I felt so at home with a group, so much akin with the group as this, never so much have I felt that I was with family since my dad died decades ago. The middle and upper class groups that I had been associated with all of my years prior from my earliest memories felt like foreigners to me, aliens, of a different species. Not so these homeless man I live with. Being with them has been and inexpressible privilege, joy, respite....

ELF.usion I call it for reason's you'll understand if you enlarge the pic at the right.

ELF for short.

Billed with some honesty as the world's most efficient vehicle:

* Run off the stored energy from the free, infinite capacity, nuclear Fusion reactor in the sky that we call the sun which is generated when the 100 watt solar panel on the roof receives that sun. 

*  Run off my body fat, me a 3 year cancer survivor, who needs exercise, and craves consuming as little of Creation's resources as I can.

*  Pedal at any instant, use the electricity at any instant, in exactly the proportions you wish... either, or or both.

It is a joy to use. In DC I can go faster than any car... traffic and lights.

The motor is deliberately speed restricted to under 20 mph so in all 50 states it is legally a 'bike'... no license, registration, etc, etc....

But I got it entirely to promote the causes you see on the graphic, in and around DC, and maybe soon, up and down the mid-Atlantic coast, and soon, maybe all 50 states.

***** I was cursed with being born materially wealthy and continued materially wealthy until about 15 years ago when I deliberately chose the path of material poverty - solidarity with the neediest in my global family,brotherhood Loving, Chrisylikeness, Waging Loving, Truth Force .... I wouldn't go back for anything in the world. I finally left the life of abject poverty of the Spirit for one of infinite wealth of the Spirit. Every second of my life now I am laughing all the way to the bank. I pity, I deeply pity with every cell in my body, the all but one in a million fools that are yearning for, are seeking, material well being, thereby murdering, trashing, destroying, abandoning, fleeing... their solidarity with all of humanity, with all of creation leaving their one and only true family behind. They are eating sand.

***** "This James is a flake, con man, or worse," said the person on FB (different words), upon learning of all my belongings, incl computer, being robbed.  My reply:  'What I am guilty of is departing from today's liberals who cower, whine, complain, and throw spit-balls at the Empire from the safety of the sidelines and their computers.  I am guilty of leaving them, in disgust, and going to, working at, living on the front of the battle of empire devouring us all.  OF THAT I STAND CONVICTED. I AM DISGUSTED BY THIS COMMENT. F'ING COWARD. 'Oh  look, that stupid soldier got shot.  His own fault for being on the battlefield!!!'  I'm not leaving, not till they carry me off stone cold.

A fellow on Facebook sent me an article that's encouraging people to accept their circumstances and to do good where they are . My reply: I passionately want my circumstances to be where I can serve better. The primary circumstance I keep trying to change, and I'm having some limited success, the primary circumstance I try to change is me, what I am, Who I am, what level of wisdom I have, what level of compassion and humanity.... But with even greater passion I not only accept my circumstances, my conditions, I hold myself to the utmost responsibility to do what I can with what resources I have in the instant. Decades ago in business a very senior individual in the organization, a grudging admirer of mine, said, I have never seen anyone like you: you have one foot riveted in the clouds, that place where you want things to be much better, and you have the other foot riveted on the ground, implementing with every ounce of strength what can be implemented now, this instant. I think he was right then. I think it remains true today. I highly recommend it. Yes the tension is excruciating, but the joy and peace of heart are  infinitely greater.

***** My greatest lifelong failing maybe doing good, investing in good. 63 years of experience now tells me this was exactly the wrong thing for me to do, for anyone to do, for any of us to have done or to do now. It is absolutely too little, too late. Somehow, good is different than lived solidarity with the global neediest in creation. Someday maybe I will understand why this is so but it is unmistakable to my eyes that it is so. This notion has been with me for a number of weeks now and with this clarity I quite easily discern the difference and can act accordingly. My number one goal is to invest my life and any resources that I have in those living such solidarity with global neediest. I see almost none. I see none with sufficient clarity to do so. Why? I have only had these new eyes for weeks now. But for years I have been looking in the correct direction and even with these new eyes there is no one that I can see doing it, living in full solidarity, every breath. Well, of course I may see some but I can't recognize it with the little information that I have. Nevertheless, this is the work and this is the work that I am quite sure I will try and do. I do see that, no credit to me, my life,  my DNA, has brought me to the point where all I want to do, and all that I do do, is live in such solidarity so I am at peace with investing what little resources I have in my low resource requirements work and saving any additional resources for such time as I see the opportunity I most want, the ability to invest in those living in such solidarity.

***** Absolute, total, lived solidarity with the neediest... Is the best, proper, correct definition of Loving. Loving has been my central value to the extreme for all of my 63 years and with scholarly devotion for the last 15 years and yet what I have just written is only now coming clear to me. If only I had known. There is no Loving that is not absolute solidarity with the neediest, only different forms of lusting, as well intended as they may be.

A group of scientists has become infinitely more knowledgeable as to new species of life, newly found species of life, in the depths of the ocean, having plunged to never before reached, very dangerous depths that no one had yet explored. And so it is with me. Only when I leap to terrifying new spiritual and academic depths that I have never before had the courage or wisdom to dive into does my clarity, knowledge, understanding... increase. And how desperately I need these things to increase as I have been a total failure and precipitating meaningful social change thus far.

pic. I see the most hideous ugliness of the Spirit everywhere that I see material wealth. Yes, especially the wealth of the middle class intellectual elite liberals... the true foot soldiers, enablers, of those destroying creation... the 'dead force' as Chris Hedges calls them.
