Cycling log. February 17th. Amazing ride. Injecting energy into the travel is the only reason to Pedal. Duh.

1. A number of really positive things, not for the first time ever, but maybe for the first time fully conscious, cognizant. 
2.  Thirteen or fourteen hundred calorie climb. The instruments are largely out which was an advantage. Attention could go into what the body was feeling. 
3.  Maybe this is sustainable, maybe it is not. Probably is. So simple, so logical.
4. The small of the back relaxed 100% of the time into the back of the seat cam up a evolution of this being a recumbent.
5. 100% the purpose of peddling is to inject energy into the travel.
6. The slower the better, allowing more time for more energy to be injected.
7. 100% of energy being delivered by the thigh.
8. Although a reciprocal cycling between the thighs is crucial, there was a distinct injection of energy into the travel at about a hundred and ten degrees forward and down.
9. Relaxing into the back of the seat was extremely helpful.

He died tonight, Sol, the vehicle.

This is the email sent later to the electronic supplier in Vancouver Canada. Their height help is likely needed in diagnosis and possibly in shipment of a replacement part

.Justin, guys, dead analyst?!?! RIP?

[ note. The cycle analyst is the electronic control system for the vehicle, in addition to managing operations like throttle it tracks speed, tracks human energy, energy into the motor, and very importantly provides most of the regenerative braking capability. virtually all of the breaking for this 900 pound payload is the regenerative braking and with the loss of that brain tonight it was a very treacherous 4 Mile, one thousand foot descent. Almost immediately it was discovered that the brake pads for one of the two brakes were totally gone. I was very careful but we had to get down trying to beat full-on hypothermia and hopefully the rotor was not destroyed. Tomorrow morning we'll dig into it. Justin is the world's go-to guy for this equipment which he designed. And it is his company. They are closed weekends so I might not hear anything until Tuesday but it is not rare that in a crisis he responds over the weekend.]

Temperature plunging, a thousand feet up, on my two thousand foot 1600 calorie climb, drenched in sweat, the battery I was running on quit, I plugged in another, the system came on, and nothing, not a hint of life in the motors but everything else seemed to work. Power was getting to both controllers, and the light on the face Runner was solid, but on the older controller  it was erratic. Three or four of the normal pulses and then  something irregular and then maybe a couple of normal pulses and something else irregular. No pattern that I could detect. The throttle registered on the cycle analyst but nothing to the motors. I was clueless. Don't laugh. This is been so stable it's been so long since I have had to troubleshoot anything. But somehow I had a hunch that the throttle was not being seen by the controllers. Thankfully the throttle cable was long enough and I ran it directly to the controller's bypassing the cycle analyst. Bingo. The motors worked. Then some things on the cycle analyst began to catch my attention. On the main screen, the bottom left should read watts. Instead the letter was not W, it was A. And then on the screen that reads out how many watts since the system was last reset, which for me was at the beginning of this trip 4 miles earlier, it said something like 7,000 watts, and 1700 watts per mile on the following screen. What?

It was risk of hypothermia I was covered in sweat. The temperature was plunging. So I'm back at the hostel where I stay sometimes.

I sure wouldn't mind some thoughts from you guys. In the morning when I have warmed up I anticipate getting my laptop and attempting to refresh the firmware to see if that's the problem.

Sure hope to hear from you guys.

Of course, it's the weekend.

Oh, and I trust I'm not getting anyone in trouble. Seriously. I called at 10 to 6, I didn't expect to have a signal but I did, got your switchboard, oh we're closed our hours are whatever until 6 p.m. . 10 of 6 I called ARG!!! LOL.

The only other system anomaly is for the last probably several days, the last several trips up the mountain which I do at about a mile and a half per hour so that I can do 25% of the work, every couple of minutes one of two things happens but not on any predictable schedule that I can find, either the motors drop out for a moment, a second, but very noticeable, the system lights and power do not flicker, but the motor dropped substantially, and on the cycle analyst it shows about a 50 watt drop, or, much less regularly, it pulses about 50 Watts. My first thought was that it was one of the batteries but it seemed to have done it on any and all battery combinations and each battery.

James

Odd, is it not? Yes, this is what Joy looks to me like. It always has. My father looked somber like this. This is my....

Odd, is it not? Yes, this is what Joy looks to me like. It always has. My father looked somber like this. This is my view of Jesus, King, Gandhi, Eleanor Roosevelt, Franklin Roosevelt, Confucius, and yes, Buddha. The most enviable Souls there have ever been, no?  Yes, to me. Since my earliest memory.  Enviable!  Admirable yes, but enviable!  No? Joy is quite the opposite of what we worship in this Society, pleasure, happiness, Glee..... I've tried those. They are like eating sand to me. Joy is being alive, and nothing else is. I highly recommend it. With all of my life.

LOL. If you do not resonate at some significant level with this, and this is not a challenge I'm giving you, it is a loving observation, if you do not resonate with this, then do not walk, run, from any closeness to my work. Because my every fiber of being is trying to drag people in this direction of joy.

Horrible expense, potentially Dynamite investment in the vehicle.

650 bucks just invested in a final battery for the vehicle. There is some risk because this is a non-traditional set up, with ongoing charging from regenerative braking, and solar at the same time as output to the motor. As usual, going where no one has gone before.
But experience, very long arduous careful selection, and some advice from an expert, it should be okay.
And it should provide a tremendous safety factor and very very long life for this battery setup now.
Lithium ion batteries wear out not so much because of the Cycles, but because of the Heat and strain in two different situations, pushing out the last little bit of energy, and being charged all the way to the top.
This final battery will add dramatic capacity and a fourth, or third, battery running in parallel which dramatically, hugely, reduces those fatigue factors on each individual battery. The best estimate of this procurement is that if this vehicle runs another 10 years and 40,000 miles quite possibly no more batteries will need to be purchased.

Shockingly surprising, and encouraging. Cycling log. February 14th.

Back in September prior to the month in Washington DC which broke continuity, there was a period of absolutely amazing efficiency, sustainability, reasonableness, fluidity, and decent performance. What I recalled was that it had to do with pumping the knees up and down particularly important was the upstroke, it was as though the knee was Rising pumping energy out of the ground below me. And I wrote as such. Returning to the vehicle after a month it was impossible to recreate that. And much Agony and turmoil, totally not complaining, has ensued in the following months.
Several days ago there were brief glimmers of that becoming attainable again. And in a mile and a half Journey today, heading up toward the base of Whitney, the miraculous situation solidly presented itself again. Without the mindset and muscle compliance of remembering this is a recumbent seat, a recumbent bicycle, it is totally impossible to achieve. But with that mindset fully in place it is almost a natural byproduct. Seems impossible but it is almost certainly the case.

The brightest Penny you are not, James. The wind knocked you on your butt, and, continued

The wind knocked you on your butt and you still continued up the mountain? The brightest penny in the pile you are not James.
Walking out of the hostel gust knocked me on my butt on the stairs.

On we continue to, a mile and a half up toward the mountain, just too risky, too dangerous, horrible gusts.

In the final analysis checking in with the clients, in my imagination, they said, James, you are risking the vehicle why? Go back to the hostel.

That's where we are.

did you see the articles about the river of wind coming off the Pacific into California creating all this? The estimates are something like 12 times the amount of moisture in the Mississippi river is in that River of air.

O and how did he know?  A guardian angel of this Mission came forth with some funds today. Bless his heart.

Wonderful Folks at this hostel. They can't do much, very little, but they do what they can to ease the financial strain.

Paradise, heaven, in this life on Earth, Jesus and all the prophets preached. Perverted Christianity destroyed all that truth.

"Other books such as Leviticus, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, I
Enoch, andJubilees, maintained the mysterious location
of paradise, suggesting that it suffused the entire land of Israel or even the whole Creation.34 One ofthe mysteries ofDilmun and Eden was their precise location.
Whether in the direction of the rising sun or between four great rivers, paradise confused any attempts to pin it
on a map. It eluded the control, captivity, or ownership ofany one nation, people, religion, or time. In direct contrast to the wars, economic exploitation, fratricidal divisions, and environmental devastations of empires, it offered experiences and visions ofjustice, of the goodness of ordinary life,
could be experienced as real and of a
vibrant peace. Paradise was described in terms recognizable as earthly life at its best. In these descriptions, it
not as a permanent state ofbeing but as aspects oflife itself. It flourished where people took responsibility for the well-being ofall
and respected
and protected the great cycles of life that sustain human life.

Humanity, like God, was responsible for making life flourish, so thatjoy and beauty might bless the world. Immediately upon finishing the whole Creation, God rested and hallowed Sabbath rest as holy. As an image of divine life, this conclusion, on the seventh day, suggests that taking delight in Creation and stopping work regularly to restore the energies of life are also human values.

In Genesis, humanity was instructed to be vegetarian, as were the animals, rather than rapacious or predatory. God said, "See I have....

In Genesis, humanity was instructed to be vegetarian, as were the animals, rather than rapacious or predatory.
God said, "See I have given you every plant yielding seed that is
upon the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air,
and to everything that creeps on the earth,
everything that has the breath oflife, I have given every green plant for food." And it
was so. (Gen. 1:29-30)

Building an army of LSGIA Beings, Jedi of the Soul, is my work. Yours too, I suggest?

Ransoming Souls log. February 13th. Many distractions, staying focused quite well.

1. Substantial distractions including adverse weather, unusually questionable forecasts, continuing battery failure, living in the rain which is a new challenge.
2. Yet thankfully the nervous system is becoming more habitual in keeping the clients present, so much less time is being lost to these distractions then otherwise.
3. Hours of good audio study of saving Paradise, an inexpressibly important look at Christianity the first Thousand Years and Beyond. In this world dominated by the perversion calling itself a Christian Nation, any responsible citizen, every responsible citizen, should be mastering the scholarly information provided in this book. Saving Paradise. Free download at archive.org.
4. 50 or 60 mile an hour winds are forecast for here in Lone Pine where we are seeking Refuge tonight, morning and midday tomorrow. But the plan is to Embark as that begins to subside, about 2 in the afternoon, and climb back up to the base of Mount Whitney.
5.  this old body, a fabulous servant, but cripples after all the cancer operations in terms of the amount of sleep it requires every day, between 10 and 12 hours, and 16 hours last night. So maddening, but not a glimmer of an option seems to exist. It is our necessary normal it seems.
6. Subject to unexpected results and testing tomorrow morning, this evenings testing suggests that at least one if not both of the heroic original Organic Transit batteries have given up the ghost. A final outlay of between 700 and 750 dollars tomorrow if necessary should secure a battery combination now that should last another three four five six years. And to provide margin against what occurred yesterday, being forced down off the mountain because of totally depleted batteries.

A transformational soul need I try to become. You too, no? Is anything less acceptable?

February 12th, ransoming Souls log. Interruptions, impulse control remaining strong.

1. A rough stretch of weather for the next several days add strong potential for distraction and lost time but James impulse-control is substantially better than in a long time.
2. Left front tire blew having been ruptured by a sharp Stone yesterday.
3. Considerable study completed while traveling downhill and under electric power uphill having become exhausted yesterday, wonderful workout, exhausting, moving now into the portion of saving Paradise about the revolting, heartbreaking, disgusting, malignant per version of Christianity starting in the 700 or 800 largely led by Charlemagne.
4. 40 mile an hour winds are forecast for midnight but the base of Mount Whitney is our location for the night anyway. We should be able to withstand that okay. Unpleasant and draining.
5. The very cold weather is subsiding and the wind should not be high tomorrow but rain all day.
6. With all that the plan for tomorrow is study all day of saving Paradise, which in a world dominated by a so-called superpower Christian Nation, is a monumentally strategic body of information to master for us all. Available no charge PDF download at archive.org.
7. And because the temperature is moderating for now at least, and the wind low, despite all day rain the plan is to descend into Lone Pine so that the other every other day 1000 plus calorie exercise routine can be maintained.

Cycling log. February 11th. Utterly transformational?

1. Regrettably must be brief, last two hours of cycling were in freezing temperatures, an hour before arrival feeling in the front of the left foot was lost and it's still not entirely back. Must get into a sleeping bag.
2. Jodie Foster, contact, almost killed by her engineers who's best efforts placed her in a seat secured to the Pod that had not been specified by the original designers. And then she chose Simplicity, released, and total Stillness. Two days ago the report was, oh, this is a recumbent! Today is 4 Hour climb was with that knowledge in place. And it transformed everything. The last four months of wonderful arduous agonizing forward and back progression may all have been because the body was not being placed in the recumbent posture.
3. More on this tomorrow.
4. Bolts secured for installation in next several days to provide secure torque arms for the wonderful new rear axle brackets.
5. Placing the body in recumbent position, which visually May amount to nothing, it may be simply a thought process that causes the right muscles to disengage and the right muscles to engage, brought back the phenomenon of pumping the knees that was so extraordinarily effective in the days approaching Reno in September as I recall.
6. And another long-lost treasure seem to come back as well. With this notion of pumping when the going gets tough it leads to a patient's, an ocean of focusing on getting every possible bit of energy out of the inches of ground we are traveling over, and it serves to deliver power, relax, sustainable.
7. The cold weather is killing the battery in this Smartphone. And these toes need attention. Good night.

Ransoming Souls log. February 11th. Revelation about early Christians. Very affirming day.

1. This log will be regrettably short, maybe expanded tomorrow. It is 9, a wonderful exhausting dangerous climb up the hill 4 hours, 1600 calories, 20 degrees Fahrenheit right now, and feeling in the left foot is back, sort of. Need to get into a sleeping bag soon.
2. Saving Paradise, Parker and Brock, two sisters, is beyond revelation. The church the first 1,000 years included figures of Brilliance and goodness and honesty and creativity as important as those we know of in earlier years, Hillel, Jeremiah, Confucius, Buddha. Assuming that Brock and Parker are honest and as insightful and scholarly as they seem, and that is my assumption, this book is an extraordinary gold mine for those that wish to find earlier Giants of empowering the soul and liberating it from the tyranny of the head and flesh, cerebal cortex and hypothalamus respectively. Free download at archive.org. This cannot be over stressed.
3. There were many distractions today, not negative, but many distractions and better than any time in memory going back many many many months, the clients remained front-and-center much more than in many months, and James impulse control was much more effective.. Very encouraging.
4. Despite how arduous and revelatory was today's cycling a good two and a half or three hours of the 4-Hour climb was very productive study time on the book just mentioned above. This is encouraging progress.
5. The study by James, his arduous tedious preparation these many months was put to the test yesterday and today as two Dear very needy very capable Souls brought crises in his Direction. It may be that he was of some considerable help. This because of all the arduous preparation. Hence the ongoing progress noted in the metrics chart above.
6. A sister of the soul that James has never met in person, only Facebook, we had a wonderful important Rich dialogue today.
7. 
   

The purpose of money is to help poor souls. Is there any other?

The purpose of money is to help poor souls. Is there any other?

Ransoming Souls log. February 10th, steps forward, two steps back come up Slight progress.

 winds were too dangerous to stay up on the mountain tonight where otherwise I wanted to be and have been. So Refuge is here at the hostel, dear funds being expended but that's what they're there for I guess. The mission ends pretty quickly when this pulse does, or when carelessness lets the vehicle get destroyed by high winds.
Forward progress made beginning annotation of saving Paradise, academics Brock and Parker, must read. My soul was correct, all my life, no credit to me, the first thousand years of Christianity was about establishing creators kingdom here on Earth, materially, and or inhabiting it spiritually, by being the spirit of creator. this abortion called Christianity is made out of whole cloth by the resurrected scribes and Pharisees, the forces of Satan, witting or unwitting.
With the disruption of change of venue some disciplined avoidance of indulging James impulses were lost but not entirely.

Time was spent attempting to track down the metal fabricator who has since moved that could create a better torque arm was spent, but not successful.
A dear soul from years ago reached out of the blue to discuss a deeply troubling personal matter. Ongoing study the creator has had me doing was instrumental to whatever help I gave this individual. That was a privilege and a blessing.
Creator willing tomorrow will include the 3 hour exercise climb, that the vehicle could easily do in 40 minutes without my interference, and probably most of that time and the rest of the day will be on the study and annotation of saving Paradise. Available free download at archive.org.
However first minimum Hardware will be secured and later in the day installed I expect, to solidify the torque arm Arrangements on the all-important new fortified rear axle brackets.

Ransoming Souls log. February 9th. Again little distracted today, progress.

Continued substantial progress in avoiding distractions from the needs of the clients. Today was a particularly interesting test. Unexpected snow made today's work much more challenging, the focus of today was stabilizing the vehicle, installing the Magnificent reinforced rear axle sliders from Rex litwiller, and stabilizing electrical wiring. Both were achieved despite some unexpected difficulties.
The weather applications, wonderful that they are, are quite conflicted about whether extreme wind is expected tonight and tomorrow. Here at the base of Mount Whitney is a risk area but we're going to risk it.

Cycling log, February 8th. Oh yeah, this is a recumbent!

The big objective today was to allow cycling to be a background task so that constant study during the three and a half hour trip could be a thing. Much more successful than prior times.
There did seem to be a substantial Revelation. This is a recumbent. And this has to do with the position of the back. On all but the steepest parts of the trip the inclination of the body is to sit a little bit up right, even a little bit. Instead, remembering to keep the upper body in as recumbent position as possible, seem to do amazing things by allowing the forward parts of the thighs to execute a very pronounced cyclical pumping action that had a very definite rolling aspect to it.

Another objective was to avoid the extreme discomfo and severe  hand pain from cold  causing me to pass out the other night. The importance of this is when there is severe discomfort it is very difficult to  avoid that being a distraction from the needs of the clients, ransoming Souls. So unlike prior trips  the outer shells  4 pants and upper body  we're warned the entire trip with the same one layer underneath.  This was a major Improvement. Enough so, a proof-of-concept, that relatively affordable winter cycling pants jacket and overshoes were ordered tonight.  Borderline between luxury and necessity.

Ransoming Souls log. February 8th. Much much better impulse control, focus on clients. Quite productive.

Much much improved impulse control so the day was vastly more productive. A big help was doing some planning the night before and therefore from first Awakening in the morning clients and their needs were more clearly on my mind. Centrally important and substantially gratifying. Much less likely to be distracted by discomforts or irritations. This will be slow progress but it is progress.
The 3 1/2 hour 1200 calorie climb to the base of Mount Whitney tonight was much much much more client-focused. There's a ways to go but cycling was much more of a background automatic task so probably the first third of a book called saving Paradise, a rather revolutionary look at the first thousand years after Jesus, with the observation that in the first thousand years his crucifixion was virtually irrelevant. It was about establishing Paradise on Earth in this life.
Like the book, spiritual Evolution, George vaillant, which I have recommended very highly I do so with the huge caution. As George writes about the limbic system being rather weak and exercising his, no disrespect, just a fact, the Two Sisters writing this book or clearly strong if not Giants of the cerebral cortex but not of the limbic system consequently there is little richness to their observation and substantial error. Having said that, they have done tremendous research and this is a book that probably will be read several times by me although not at the top of my priority list. But what I have seen so far is that in the first Thousand Years there were some people that really understood what this is all about, joy in this life, finding that kingdom of God, that heaven, which is the place of loving service, within us.

Explosion this morning, Phyllis my friend caused it.

In response to this video, , Phyllis my sole friend from a high school class of 350, said, James, you chose heaven.

That brilliant Insight from Phyllis will help me for the rest of my days.

she put words to what I have known and pursued from my earliest, criminally over privileged, substantially autistic I think, youth. For reasons I neither understand nor can justify, as a horribly ignorant young child, from my earliest memories, I believed that heaven was available on Earth, in this life, and that we were to be in it. And for Olympic caliber greed that I have I have never lost that belief, nor stop striving for it.

having said that, I suppose I just gained insight into why this is true about me. Probably due to what I'll guess was substantial autism, and the divinely good biological father I had, and the physical Garden of eden he provided for us, edge of a multi Thousand Acre Nature Preserve, which I was allowed to disappear into day after day, it gave me such an obvious taste... I was steeped in the manifestations of Heaven. The evidence. But why did no one else get that taste? Lack of Autism?

So although sister Phyllis articulated it this morning, gave me the right words to it, the substance of that Vision has drawn me on maniacally all of my years and got me there beginning about 18 years ago when I finally found the courage of my convictions, helped by the Sage's throughout history I had surrounded myself with, LSGIABeing.com lsgiabeing.com, to say, yes, our culture, profoundly intoxicating, profoundly pleasurable, is one trillion percent wrong, and Heaven, a life of Joy, is in exactly the opposite direction of what it tells us.

And I began crawling in that new Direction. And almost immediately there by got there.

But James, what are you talkin about? You have nothing. Some plastic and a few electrical parts.

You slept in 14 degree weather last night, alone, substantially vulnerable to the elements, creatures, and evil-doers that could do it without a chance of being caught? Regularly you speak of the depression you go into. https://photos.app.goo.gl/ftCgjg9HA1FMdKev5

https://photos.app.goo.gl/ftCgjg9HA1FMdKev

Only in the last several days have the words of Jesus crystallized into something I really understood. To paraphrase him, the kingdom of God, heaven? It is not like this, oh, lo here, Lo there, even at the Magnificent base of Mount Whitney. No, because the kingdom of God is within you, he said.

The kingdom of God is one of the Myriad of existent States within us that we can inhabit, and it is very much influenced by the environment, as the seed is profoundly influenced by its environment. But it is not the environment. The environment as the nutrients around the seed, can help actualize that. The physical environment I alluded to above that I was brought up in, and the environment that I have increasingly created for myself, no credit to me, all of the faces that you can see if this site, LSGIABeing.com, has been worked into My Soul by me, no credit to me, and more so every day. LSGIABeing.com

Can I justify this all consuming greed of all of my days? Yes. Because the nature of this greed is not for this pitiful husk of a creature, James, but for what James experiences himself as as a soul, all of creation. James lives for all of creation to be in this heaven.

And oh by the way, there's nothing mystical about this heaven. It is a creation given, DNA given, psychological potentiality. And all of the faces, and all of the souls, at this site, LSGIABeing.com have entered in, and or documented the place for us making it that much more possible to find and inhabit, and or died to help us enter in.

And every breath and hour that James is given he will spend trying to increase the odds that he can help maybe one person enter in.

Phyllis, you totally destroyed my carefully planned morning, bless your heart. Hugs

Log, Ransoming Souls. February Seven. Clients are disappointed but hanging in there.

Much less forward progress was made than desired. Hopefully lessons were learned to reduce the delays and impediments in the future. The delays? Keeping this body functioning effectively on the work in the face of very cold temperatures. Regarding this hopefully Lessons Learned included,

1. do not let the boiler go out.
2. Do not let the boiler go out. Core body temperature going down allowing the extremities to get cold.
3. In the last half-hour of the cycling climb when the sun is behind the mountain and the wind picks up avoid severe heat loss attempting to do so with wind breaking clothing already in our possession.
4. Maintain very very good hydration on the theory that low blood pressure makes heat transfer to the extremities very difficult.
5. For reasons unknown Some Nights the feet will not get warm without extreme insulation. Stop trying to figure this out. Layer on the insulation immediately that the problem is in evidence to avoid Disturbed sleep that slows work the following day.

There was forward progress however,

1. LSGIABeing.com was updated with new sections from Karen Armstrong  on early flowering of moral Judaism, Christianity, Muhammad
2. Karen Armstrong on Paul has been ordered, $5 on Kindle, to be downloaded tomorrow and prioritized for study. Her take on him as a important religious creator was a surprise and needs further exploration.
3. Compared to a week ago progress continues with some backsliding on keeping the clients, not James impulses, front-and-center every breath.
4. A routine of daily prioritizing and prioritizing for the coming days on the mission of ransoming Souls, is taking shape and showing sustainability.
5. Some slight enhancement of the vision is reflected in new items on the priorities.

Outlook for tomorrow

1. Devote the morning to the priorities up at the base of the mountain. Early to bed tonight for an early start tomorrow.
2. Demonstrate Mastery of making the cold a non issue throughout tonight and tomorrow by implementing principles and practices learned last night and today.
3. Secure various items to be used the following day in further stabilizing the vehicle, the new rear axle brackets, and some very inexpensive but important welding items to further stabilize motor and inverter cabling that it is still at times unstable.
4. Demonstrate improved Mastery and discipline allowing the 3 hours cycling to be as ineffective as necessary such that it is automatic so the 3 hours most of it can be devoted to studying materials being read by the Android. Karen Armstrong's work on the first Christian writer, Paul, is likely to be the focus.

Log. Ransoming soul. February 6th. Encouraging slow steady Improvement today.

1. Definitely better impulse control today particularly in the morning from the time of Awakening. That's a difficult time when the habits are to get online and be indulging James impulses. That's not what James wants and it's not what the clients wants. It wants James to deliberately start with them in mind and keep it that way all day. definite Improvement for the first half of the day. Cycling is a bit of a distraction and attention is turned to study that is planned with the clients, but the acute Focus The Edge has lost a little bit. But overall a much better job of keeping the clients front-and-center today. Much room for improvement but there's a good chance that the Improvement will come.
2. Work was done this morning asking the question, what did the clients need, not necessarily from James, what do they need. And also, a specialized to do list, photo above, what are James best priorities to work on for them right now? This is such important progress. Could I have begun this weeks or months ago? I'm not sure. I know that recent months and longer have been laying a foundation for it and it just feels good that it's happening. The investment of several days, forced by the weather, to be indoors helped with this shift and Improvement in focus.
3. Slight but substantial Improvement in directing attention to the clients during the arduous Wonderful 3 hour 1400 calorie climb tonight. Several very important posts on Karen Armstrong were fired off during that time and probably half of the time was very good study time. This is important, encouraging, and there's a substantial chance that there will be steady progress.
4. In this morning's planning James found a substantial Advance taking place next to his nervous system. That soon there are people with whom he is in contact where he sees sufficient sole that if they were to choose to do so they could begin helping him shape and improve the materials he has created and is in the process of creating. He put out a general notice along these lines and alerted particular individuals of promise.
5. James was blessed with the opportunity to spend considerable time with one of his few dear personal friends in a situation where there was wonderful Mutual sharing going on but also some important junctures with this friend where the preparation the James works on slowly and methodically and tediously everyday show themselves to be work of value I believe to this friend. This is encouraging, gratifying, and why James exists.

Cycling log. Progress. February 6th.

The new gear is top end speed now at speed now at pedaling at maybe 10 miles an hour at a really rapid Cadence. But who cares? For whatever time remains here in unspeakably magnificent Mount Whitney Lone Pine virtually all of the travel is a 3-hour trip uphill at two and a half miles an hour, my choice, and the Cadence is so much more manageable. We had a 400w human output trip today, better than 1400 calories, the best yet. And the more reasonable Cadence, probably averaged 45 or 50 rpm, allowed for a considerably more normal cycling experience. Such a nice advance. A $25 investment in the gear and another $7 for shipping probably. What a nice addition. Oh, and remember when the nuvinci gear was destroyed about a month ago? Having this new physical 1 speed gear dramatically reduces the likelihood of that happening again. All of the positive discoveries about cycling in the last couple of weeks, click on the cycling label below for the other posts, all of that is being born out. The Holy Grail is arriving at a reasonably high output 3 hour trip that requires almost no conscious attention from James. That was achieved probably at the 65% level today. Not bad, considerably better than most days. James will just have to try and keep at it and hope for progress and progress seems to be very likely with routine building on the discoveries of the last several weeks.
Probably no fundamental discoveries today but there's some substantial progress nonetheless I think.

1. Be profoundly profoundly profoundly profoundly respectful of how heavy this payload is, 900 pounds. The benefits of that, I don't know why they are so pronounced, but they are. And it is very counterintuitive. It is something that I need to deliberately bring into the metal equation.
2. Focus that incredible respect for how terribly heavy the vehicle is, listening so carefully to the knee at certain points to reduce pressure, effort, as the grade increases even slightly, take that care especially at the front of the knees and the top of the knees. Why? I don't know yet. But it certainly was very very helpful today and shocking really. At much less effort than it was taking to expend 100 watts an hour, by paying tremendous respect the output went up in the hundred and twenty watt per hour range. Go figure. Now this in the last third of the journey which always produces the best technique, that last third. Go figure. my best guess about that is the first couple of hours are retraining me of what doesn't work. But part of this tremendous respect focused in the knees I think somehow causes the body, trigger triggers the body, to move effort back in the portion of the thighs closer to the crotch, that third or half of the thighs where the power resides and in the same vein it loosens up the muscles of the knees and shins and ankles.
3. For a portion of the trip understanding that the knees were moving the vehicle, by smoothly rotating a small sphere or donut at the knees, rotating it, rolling it, was very helpful.
4. Bringing into attention that the movement of the legs was directly tied to the forward movement, the forward rolling movement, of the vehicle, was not automatic, that doesn't happen automatically, but when I remember to bring it into attention it seems to create an overall perspective for the nervous system that makes things much more fluid, sustainable, encouraging, like the body all of a sudden begins to understand what this is all about and adjust itself accordingly.
5. The body wants to move the pivot point that the knees are to revolve around up higher then is beneficial. Bringing to mind that that sphere being turned is about 10 or 15 degrees down from perpendicular to the ground is necessary and very helpful.
6. Rollin Rollin Rollin, keep those knees rolling. So not automatic and so powerful when finally I remember to do it in the body responds. Much less effort, much more sustainable psychologically and physically, much more enjoyable. Much more automatic meeting the mind can be on study for the clients rather than moving the vehicle.

Fundamentalists, of every stripe, impose themselves as God in your life. Jesus, Buddha, Confucius fought that with their lives, dying to connect folks with the God, creator, soul, heart, within them.

Your soul is needed for my calling.

Your soul, (limbic system, mammalian brain,  heart, the most important part of the nervous system that should always be in charge,  the other two parts being the  the cerebral cortex and hypothalamus, the computer  and Reptilian Brain, head and flesh, respectively) , is needed for my calling, just not quite yet.
The needs of my work does not dictate that you should or are expected to respond.
There are some of you that when the time, times, come where several hours or more of your time are required, there are some of you on my list and I'll put out the call with no expectation.
If at sometime you sense you would very much like to be on the list, message me or something.
Although this work has been my life for my entire adulthood it becomes ever more focused week by week month by month.
As best I can articulated at the moment, my work is to provide an advantage to the one in a million Souls in this 2019 and future world that have not been so mutilated by the culture, that they can stand being captive, subjugated, enslaved and killed by the all worshipped cerebral cortex and Reptilian Brain, head and flesh, any longer.
This morning's brainstorming began to flesh out for me what some of the aspects look like. No attempt has been made to make this more intelligible to anyone beside me, so far, but this is what came out this morning.

I expect that in my lifetime no one will be called too seriously collaborate with me in this effort. But who knows? The work will be substantially stillborn if that's the case but I am resigned to that. But if and when I can get even the littlest bit of attention from those that need to collaborate at least a little bit it will be of immeasurable value.

My work will continue along the lines of the list above and at such Point as I think the materials could warrant the encounter with your soul such that feedback from you could be forthcoming, at that point, I will put out the first call.

February 5th. Getting down to business. Ransoming Souls log.

Process note. The practice of these ransoming soul logs going into one long post is proving unwieldy. From now on the label will appear as it does at the top of this post and a label will be added that can be clicked at the bottom to retrieve all similar posts and the cycling log will receive the same treatment.

Getting down to business for about three or four hours this afternoon to take advantage of the luxury of this $35 a night bunk room at the hostel, was how the time and expense was invested. it's just a very very very very beginning. to impossible complex challenges in Industry there are many things that I learned and applied with great success and in the work I've done since rarely has it been applied and today was a beginning attempt to change that. The photos above may be totally unintelligible to anyone but me, but they represent beginning to break down a general direction into pieces that can be prioritized, developed, discarded, improved upon. The important Soul Dwight David Eisenhower said, plans are worthless, but planning is everything. done properly planning as a tool for preparing, harnessing, applying our nervous system to an important challenge.
Central to today's effort was to very substantially move to the front and center of James life the clients he has referred to, in his imagination. Too much front and center for now has been James body, James mind, James Comfort, James cycling, James food, Etc. The point isn't that this was bad, it was probably quite necessary. But it has resulted in a substantial learning curve, hopefully sufficient, that these areas can be moved into the background and the clients kept front and center.
Not simply a matter of willpower is this shift however. There are very real issues that must be resolved. Stabilizing the rear axle of the vehicle against the impending catastrophe of the crack fully failing. Work was done to secure  a heavily fortified replacement hopefully within the next two or three days. There remain connectors on the vehicle that too frequently fail, electrical connectors, under the tremendous strain placed on this heavy payload vehicle. work was done today to secure Small Parts and Equipment that should lead to soldered connections that are much more stable. the platform at the rear of the vehicle the plastic has been cracking after such heavy use. Replacement plastic arrived yesterday and with the help of a kindly hardware store it was cut and put in place. the new battery was received yesterday and proper connectors soldered on today. The new signage for the front and rear of the vehicle arrived yesterday but application must wait until the weather warms which looks to be at least a week away. the new uniform that James always wears is on order and the status was checked, appears to be shipping on Friday.

But very important to today, the conscious effort applied today to have the will of the clients determine Moment by moment what James did, was tremendous progress over any time prior. to a degree this is like weaning an addiction to James indulging his impulses. This is encouraging. It is hard work. Making this shift. But it is necessary, desirable, healthy, enjoyable, and doable. The progress will be halting but probably substantial I hope.
