The secret to a joyful life is to have a care for the world large enough that.... it pulls you through the worst of times no matter what. Times in your life have proven this. No?

Regarding my use of alcohol which I wrote of several months ago, I have found something I greatly..... prefer, these recent 4 or 6 weeks. Unlike the prior six months where I was hitting two or four beers each night. But like the prior 17 years. For me, anything I depend on externally for positive, joyful, life, I see it as a crutch. Who wants to go mountain climbing with a crutch if they can figure out how to do it without a crutch? During the six months I allowed myself the crutch, I was under tremendous psychological and physical stress, and I was unable to see how to conduct my existence as positively without the crutch as with. But it remained a challenge for me. 4 or 6 weeks ago the solution, the Improvement, the more Joyful Way to be presented itself to me. It is not the case that the conditions of psychological stress, the horrors in the world, went away, they have intensified. What presented itself to me was, James, intensify your focus on using every breath to try and channel good in the world. That was it. I did. I do. And those times when the stress would have made me consider the crutch of alcohol, I have found the option of using those breaths to try and channel a little bit more good into the world, I have found that clearly preferable, more joyful, then the solution of alcohol, which has once again lost all my interest. LOL, it is true that now at the time I would be having a beer before going to bed, I do nurse a hot chocolate.

A story to tell on myself. Several weeks ago traveling in the vehicle all day, hot day, stopped at a convenience store gas station for a cold drink refill. As frequently happens, getting out of the vehicle, I noticed people eyeing the vehicle and me and could feel a idle headed question coming my way and looked away and scowled internally. Scowled particularly because the individuals were substantially overweight against which I have a lifelong prejudice bias I am not proud of. I remember thinking, and I am not proud of this, if you are not interested in taking care of yourself I'm not interested in talking to you about the vehicle. They did not make any inquiries. In the store I filled the refill, went to the counter, put in my credit card, may have smiled and said something nice to the young handsome Indian attendant, withdrew my card, began to walk away and the attendant looked at me with daggers and said you didn't pay! I use this card all the time with no problems. My guess is I must have absent-mindedly pulled it out too soon. I'll pay, the lady said! Yes, it was one of the individuals I just spoke of, a woman in the group roughly late 40s. Thank you so much ma'am, I said, but I'll pay, I must have pulled the card out too quickly. No, she insisted, adamant, I want to pay. She also had made a judgement based on the vehicle in my attire. She can be maybe proud of hers, and I am very ashamed of mine.

Fact, for all of my years I have been profoundly alone, isolated, unwelcome in society. Fact, what is written of in this book which has been up until now, and even now, ignored, ridiculed, belittled, overtly and covertly suppressed punished and repressed in our culture is what has been the animating Force within me all of my years, no credit or discredit to me. A flawed book by a flawed writer but uniquely important of all that I have yet found. If granted one wish to try and heal this Dying World it might be that I would have everyone read, understand, and embrace this. If and when I see a 500 million-dollar lottery or higher I will buy a ticket and if I win the lottery all of that money will be spent on trying to bring the truth revealed in this work, which my soul has known and lived and profited by all of my years, then that is how I will spend the money.
What is required is that each of us move to a carbon, natural resource, negative life. How soon? How soon should we stop destroying the children?

Update: since the cancer of years ago I have only about 12 hours of productive capacity per day but those are quite productive and I suppose I should be grateful for that. And I suppose I am. Much of the last six months has been spent in incremental steps of making this miraculous vehicle sustainable and stable and there is reason to think that that has been largely achieved which is a mercy. I continue to perceive that humanity is lost, has made excuses for avoiding curing the cancer of universal selfishness for many thousands of years and malignancy now is Unstoppable. But what of the few cells that could be saved? This remains my interest but the overall situation is profoundly depressing to me. Side note, I'm using all of my skills including alcohol in strong moderation each day, to enable me to fight with all of my strength. My personal experience, and my theory is, that aligning one's life to a dedication to goodness is the ultimate Human Experience and the ultimate hope for exit from the suicide collectively. The productive hours I have each day are spent on scholarly study of this issue. My perception is that to do this in natural beauty accentuates the hopefulness of this work so I do so and expect to continue to do so into the foreseeable future. So my days are spent traversing the natural beauty that is available. And to be listening to the most important scholarly works that I can find while doing so. It is agonizing to me that I cannot do more. It is severely depressing to me that I cannot do more. It is the joy that keeps me alive that I can do what I can do.
