"James Mcginley I actually was asking whether your website includes a description of the path in a single place - you write a lot, and if I could go to one specific place for a summary I would do that." My reply: SS, I understand, truly. History's few revolutionaries.... - Gandhi wrote a lot, and King, Buddha, Jesus, and Tolstoy.... And few, not 1 in a million have read their works. I have to pour through them over and over and over.... I'm sure u think I miss your point. I'm quite sure I do not. But the path is the one, lived, shown, taught, by the afore mentioned and their ilk -spending our ENTIRE life on those in dire need, no excuses (as does ALL HEALTHY living tissue). To which we make EXCUSES for ourselves endlessly and pay lip service not life service. That's the whole of it, and we're finally killing everything cuz of it. But 1 in a million might still have their soul / life / joy saved and on that I joyfully, solely, spend my life. There, my whole writings in a nutshell, to paraphrase Hillel. Hugs

:-) you might think that I consider this book perfection. Not at all. Just an extraordinary Leap Forward from the large largely toxic malignant pile of psychology up until now. And a tremendous Cornerstone. I suspect it will be the research Cornerstone for my work the rest of my years. I have seen it all throughout my adulthood and as a minority of one built my professional and personal life on what now the research substantiates. But it is an extraordinary help that now the neurobiological and ethological research provides the underpinnings. Not that it is about my work, it is not. It is about who and what we are created to be and how our culture these recent hundreds and thousands of years has profoundly crippled what we were to become. What we each individually should and must become. It may well be soon that I compile a list of the things that I think he got fundamentally wrong but overall the direction is tremendous.

Try and see the unimaginable, this: I am too insanely greedy to not be totally knowledgeable in what is gratifying. Thus I have sacrificed pleasure of the body for joy of the soul, intoxication of my head and flesh for profound peace of heart, friendship with a few for friendship to all of creation, comforting delusion for what Gandhi calls God...

Interest in Saving the environment, the Palestinians, the people in Yemen, mammals, human rights... Have completely occupied my last 20 years except for the last 12 months or so.

If those whom one loves are in a hot desert with nothing but hot sand, and Food Supplies dwindling, does one take the seed supply and plant it in the sand, or attempt to work the miracle of cultivating enough fertile soil to at least save a few?

Wasting precious time and resource, a crime against humanity, were I to continue to invest resources in the causes I used to do. The Titanic has hit the iceberg. My denial of that would be Criminal. And I suggest the same is true for us all.

We have the seeds, the know-how, the will, everything but the fertile soil to grow the solutions. The fertile soil is the soul of the individual or the group, The Heart, the mammalian brain, the Supra conscious. All of which has been starved and bludgeoned into near Oblivion these recent hundreds of years by science and religious Dogma manifestations of an insane elevation of the capacities of the cerebral cortex, and the ascendant desires of the flesh, the hypothalamus, The Reptilian Brain.

So my energies will continue to go toward attempting to cultivate at least a tiny bit of fertile soil not to save the already doomed Titanic, but to save the potential Joy only produced when the soul is in charge, for whatever rare individual now or in the future it might help. And I suggest that every compassionate responsible individual will be so devoted.

stationary.... eating, resting, studying. Virtually all of my posting is now happening at my blog. I hope if at such time as you like you check in there. Anyone that does will see that I am on my third reading or more of the most important book that I know of on Earth and I know many important ones, spiritual evolution, by psychologist and scientist George vaillant.

Waging love all out, a war of loving to the last breath, has only ever been the only answer. All out war is being waged on the rest of us by the Republican Taliban. No one has Soul enough to see it.

Loving soul of goodness in action being. This is what changed values, what he believes in, what he understands to be the Natural Healthy state of the homo sapiens.

Continuing to reread the absolute must read, most important book James knows, spiritual Evolution, George vaillant, provides to clear science for what James nervous system has known, live, and practiced for his entire adulthood.

And it provides a substitute face for attempting to take things to the next level.

Cultural evolution is where all Hope For The Individual or group lies. There is so much now scientifically verified with almost no attention to the implications. James must do what little he can to bridge this Gap. If even for some tiny little group or individual that survives hundreds of years from now.

Loving soul of goodness in action being, continues to be the cumbersome and necessary descriptor of what James is onto.

The much reviled, revered by James, Headroom Sorokin, the ways of power and love, founder of Sociology at Harvard, his book by this title was important and an important first step. James is likely to work on either a new website or a portion of LSGIABeing.com to attempt the next iteration of what Sorokin was onto.

He surprised me by saying, the world needs more people like you, this old shopkeeper of an old shop....

Sitting on the sidewalk by the vehicle eating some potato chips as I recall, the voice behind me started the conversation. Though the questions did not suggest to me that Soul was available in front of me, the man being much older than I caused me to indulge his questions about the vehicle. He asked about the crosses on my forehead and I told him what they said. He said, I Think Jesus is going to come back and take his followers to heaven. I repeated my belief which I had stated earlier to him, what I believe is his two Commandments, love creator with our whole heart and soul and our brother the same way. The world needs more people like you he said. This surprised me from him, but I was glad. It seems that Soul was available in this dialogue after all.

What we need, and all we need, are people that are extraordinary examples of unconditional love, every breath.

Mount Whitney climb, among the 10 most difficult in the country. Pictures. Detail

This 10 mile climb to the Mount Whitney portal is rated among the 10 most difficult in the country for cyclists. Having just done the worst of it, and staying in the afternoon sun as long as possible to gather energy these are the key metrics.

PS. It is 7 in the evening, just saw the camp host in this almost entirely empty large Campground, Bill, my friend. Tonight is the last night that it is open. LOL. Who knew? Just 2 months left to the shortest day of the year. And yet we 900 pound payload climbed 4200 ft, 12 miles, 54-64 energy equivalent miles, good Sun but the final two hours were lost to the Rocky Mountains blocking the Sun, and the first two hours were lost to the sloppiness on the part of the operator, ending the day yesterday about 400 Watts down in the batteries. Yet we were able to complete the climb, cook 44 oz of hot water for coffee tonight and in the morning, and 3 cans of beans, tomatoes, and pasta for dinner, with 40% of the energy still in the batteries. Point being, this vehicle is extremely able now. Thanks to extraordinary dedication by the operator and help from a few friends. Oh, and some help from Creator whatever that is. I mean really, this is the last night it's open and this is the night we arrive? And although the operator was careful, this is a uniquely difficult climb, and two-thirds of the way the vehicle stopped. James was shocked to discover that one of the two controllers was much too hot to touch. Normally not a problem but on this climb he had allowed the ventilation on that controller to be blocked by a tarp after 10 minutes it was still too hot to touch. An absolute miracle that didn't burn up. Almost the same thing with the primary motor. Creator, or Hunger Games sponsors, whatever, decided to cut us some slack. Maybe because 67 year old stage 4 cancer survivor James did his part? He did the energy equivalent of cycling himself up this 1 of 10 or one of five most difficult bicycle climbs in the country, carrying his weight, and letting the sun and the motors carry the rest.

7 miles until Whitney portal. Today or tomorrow Creator willing.

The Charter for Compassion
The principle of compassion lies at the heart of all religious, ethical and spiritual traditions, calling us always to treat all others as we wish to be treated ourselves. Compassion impels us to work tirelessly to alleviate the suffering of our fellow creatures, to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there, and to honour the inviolable sanctity of every single human being, treating everybody, without exception, with absolute justice, equity and respect. It is also necessary in both public and private life to refrain consistently and empathically from inflicting pain. To act or speak violently out of spite, chauvinism......

The Buddha taught, “As with her life a mother cares for her own, her only child, so in your hearts and minds let there be boundless love for all creatures great and small.”4 That was the faith that the Buddha spent forty-five years of his life trekking the length and breadth of India to share with all he met.

Vaillant... Good lawyers and charismatic cult leaders with their clever arguments make us believe; good mothers, saints, and positive emotion help us to trust. Belief is so exact that we think we can add up the bill. Trust always involves casting bread upon the waters with its return being only a matter of faith, not contract. “Believe what I say” stands in stark contrast to “Don’t trust what I say; trust what I do.”

Vaillant... All forms of spiritual healing have in common empathy, healing within a circle of caring persons, permission to feel and express emotion, shared responsibility for pain, and reverence for life rather than for self. Such “blessings” lower blood pressure, ease pain, relax muscles, and postpone death.

I say to them, ‘Don’t thank me…go and praise God.’” He could have just as accurately said, “Don’t thank me…go and praise unselfish love.”
