extremely important. March 21, free soul from chains log.

Intensified from yesterday is the focus on, what did young James need, what did young Jesus need, what did young Buddha need, to free his soul from the chains of head and flesh. This is a very positive step. All history indicates that it is one in a million that can and will be freed from these chains. Possibly there have been periods In history where the fraction has been a higher  but there is no history to indicate this. It's an environmental problem. Aboriginal tribes throughout the ions are profound Lee limbic, of Soul, not cerrebral, because their environment essentially made it. so.

Sometimes in an asphalt road a dandelion or flower poke through and flourish. The environment is totally hostile but one in a million seeds makes it. Our rate of putting up asphalt for the soul is increasing at a geometric rate. Nothing is going to stop that. But what can be done to increase the speed and success rate of that one in a million? That is my work.

What is it about James environment the caused this to happen for him? What might have accelerated it? What has been in the environment of the other one in a million no credit to them no dis credit to the others.

To what degree is it the seed itself? A lesser interesting question and less important but it should be considered. Young Greta, student leader, autistic, depressed, is there something about different about her seed?

Turning Sol, miraculous solar RV vehicle, from a terrible distraction for the mission, to an asset, a powerful lure of the one in a million, what is the optimum verbiage for the two sides in the back?

If chained  your soul feels, for you I am here.

If in prison your soul feels, for you I am here.

If lifeless your soul feels, for you I am here.

If joyless…

If enslaved…

If the sick or dead…

If tortured…

If tormented…

If captive…

Snuffed out…

If extinguished…

If oppressed…

If persecuted

If hated…

If reviled…

If ridiculed…

…. For you one in a million I have come.

James, you are one in a million, it is an honor to meet you. Something told me I needed to meet you. This about half a mile west of Lone Pine at the beginning of the four hour cycle up the hill. A gentlemen about my age on a bicycle speeding up behind me. From a large RV back in the campground I'll guess. From the Cape Cod area he said. He wanted and received a five minute story of this voyage, my life, mission. For a long time I'll be telling the story, he said. Probably the encounter didn't change his life, but probably it was a tiny nudge. Certainly it resonated with something deep within him. He knows where to find the blog if he would like. To him I said, I'm very glad for our encounter, which of course I meant. Anyone that has been reading my logs of late would know pretty much what was shared by me in the conversation.

Listening to the Gospel of John is pretty much unbearable after months now of immersion in Buda, Confucius, Muhammad, Jeremiah, Hillel and other sages. And Jesus through the eyes of Karen Armstrong and in the 200 verses that he likely spoke. These that I just mentioned all speak strongly to the soul although also too often to the cerebral cortex. John is all cerebral cortex and reptilian brain with hardly any exceptions. Utterly excruciating. Totally Antichrist.

Finished up by listening to the very beginning of the very long for gospel translation and harmonization by Leo Tolstoy. Tolstoy’s own life was saved from suicide after all his Fame, late forties, when he went and did his own translation of the original Greek Gospels. Looking not for Dogma, not for directives, but for and understanding of God and the meaning of life, and how to live life. He spent the next 40 years writing of this and I have read many of the works over the last 20 years. They have always spoken deeply to my soul. One of his books on this subject, the kingdom of God is within you, is the reason that we know the name Gandhi. And directly and indirectly he was instrumental in the creation of Martin Luther King jr. As mentioned yesterday James has quite a struggle because part of him wants to be able to convince the world, but that's a whole different job then nurturing the one in a million soul that has some combination of the attributes mentioned at the top of this log, some level of Agony, some level of feeling in Chains, their Soul. That's a whole different individual. They need to be brought in to a community that resonates with that soul and thereby strengthens it. By any objective measure Tolstoy’s rendering of the teachings of Jesus, as opposed to that of the abortion called The Church, is a very powerful mover of the One in a Million Soul. There be maybe nothing like it in the last 200 hundred years, and possibly, ever. I would love to know if Tolstoy was correct in his translation. I assume he was honest but that doesn't mean he was correct. But why would that matter? What matters is the unleashing of souls that are in Chains. Tolstoy has done that. Who else has? Even Jesus did not from everything I can see. All his so-called followers were people of the cerebral cortex, and hypothalamus, that were stimulated by Jesus but they didn't understand him and they certainly did not transmit his religion in a way that created more people like Jesus. Tolstoy did. And at least in the eyes of Gandhi, Tolstoy was the most person like Christ since Jesus himself. That's a pretty extraordinary track record. Tolstoy eyes work just went way up on my priority list. Continual study.

The soul, lives, and dies, for good.

The soul, lives, and dies, for good. 

Free souls from lifelessness log March 19th.

Wrestling gladly with competing ideas for the rear vehicle graphics. Free soul from lifelessness versus rescue soul from joylessness. The former is in the ascendency. It sets up nicely the discussion of how soul is captive of head and flesh.

40% of the 200 sentences authentic to Jesus, have received analysis in terms of three categories, primary science, secondary science, political effect.

Well into this analysis the following valuable thought occurred, James, you want to find things that will help awakeen the soul of anyone. You can't start there, and you probably can't finish there. What touches your soul, James? What encourages your soul? What strengthens your soul? What gives your soul the courage of its convictions? I think this will be strong footing going forward.

Breathtaking beauty captured in photographs, the weather put on quite a display today.

Some fairly vital work on the vehicle is being put off, and there's a danger in that. Should be tackled within the coming days. The primary pedal chain needs replacing, the rear wheel is dangerously warn, a trailer wheel has a broken spoke.

Overcast slightly and the full super moon tonight. Hoping to awaken at 4 a.m. to see if there's a break in the clouds.

After many failed attempts found the text that can be read to me of King James Version Gospel of John 1611. Not sure what I’ll find but it may be less perverted by the church then later versions.

March 19th Solar RV cycling log. James, just pretend you're in a gymnasium on a piece of equipment.

You know the previous 10 logs or so, all those principles, the two or three key ones especially, validated.

But some additional thought and important lessons on this journey now 40 % complete.

James, relax, the purpose of your involvement is your exercise. Just let it happen. In fact, let everything else take care of itself. Imagine that you are simply on a piece of exercise equipment in a gym. Just let it flow from there.

About 30% into the voyage tonight the notion popped up, James, instead of trying to find the leverage points within each cycle just deliver your power in smooth isolation. If you lose some power so be it. Don't try to find where the machine wants your legs to find every little advantage, sacrifice that, for the benefit of letting your body know that it can count on a steady fluid pace. Does not seem to be sacrificing much power, and is even more enjoyable, and probably slightly less stressful on this old body and it's joints and ligaments and muscles.

Integrating with the above is the notion of, James, what level of workout do you want at this particular instant, low, medium, or hi? Probably the key aspect there is, workout, what level of workout, James? That idea helps decoupple  from the distraction, the illusion, of moving the vehicle, and increasing the focus on only place James can really control, how much productive work he is doing at the moment. Again, this seems to be contributing to the automatic nature of the exercise, lowering frustration, freeing the mind for study, and does not seem to be sacrificing much performance.

A strong propensity in James body is to leverage the upper leg whether it is in hiking, climbing stairs, skiing. And it's usually counter productive maybe very counter productive. Well, riding on the shoulder which is what we do there is a crown, it slopes off to the right making the left leg the upper leg. This encourages the upper leg to try and do funny stuff, asymmetrical, it's annoying, distracting, fatiguing, and never ending. Well, almost never ending. Tonight more than before there's an effort to lean the upper torso to the right at least so it is perpendicular to the vehicle and the crown and maybe even a little more so. It's a nice thing.

The warrs per hour, human, are quite low, 98, but the proportion of human power is slightly higher, than usual, about 26 and a half percent.

March 19th rescuing soul from joylessness log. Those feeling sick or dead of soul, Jesus came for you, James too.

Such important clarity this morning. Such an incredible indictment of the cultural insanity that is so sick, expert, ever present, unceasing, that this 67 year old nervous system would still be making progress towards the simple message, life, teaching, purpose of the man Jesus.

He was a physician of the soul, here simply for anyone feeling sick or dead is soul, and James writing to you now, is here for the same reason. It's so simple. The soul, Limbic system, mamalian brain, this it is part of our anatomy. Jesus was called to be a physician to that, to those feeling sick in that organ. Me too.

Some of today is spent studying the 200 verses of the 1000 in the New Testament attributed to the man Jesus, but only 200 the Jesus seminar scholars say he actually spoke. Each of those phrases is at least consistent with, and never distant with what was just written of above.

Jesus said, the kingdom of God will not come through observation they will not say, low here, lo there. For the kingdom of God is within you. The soul is within you. That piece of creator. limbic system, the Mamalian brain.

Every and all pieces of verbage in the Gospels other than these is  empowering of the head, empowering of the flesh, as so much of it is, they did not have a clue what Jesus was teaching.

Because of all this study the clarity coming from James in a 30 minute conversation today was such potential hope for the soul of this somewhat alive individual with whom he was speaking. Very high quality seeds for this person.

Another individual, it was a very different thing. The seeds in this long term relationship were dismissed out of hand as worthless. Not unkindness. Cerebral cortex blindness.

Jesus did not repeat himself. Not to the same individual. He spread the seed. It was beyond him to control whether the sick or dead soul was available to receive it. If it was, it was. If it was not, it was not. And so it is with James here, with me. In my work. How helpful, how exciting, how empowering in my work to start getting a clue of what I am here for, what the nature of my work is. Physician for the soul that feels sick or dead.

Even in these 200 versus that they Jesus Scholars say we're actually spoken by the man, there are so many agendas. There is the agenda of establishing that the kingdom of God, soul, is within you. Another agenda of addressing the material errors of the Jews as they were practicing. Another agenda of providing elements of the secondary science, what the limbic system in charge, the soul in charge, looks like. These latter to are very problematic in that they easily appeal to and empower the reptilian brain and the cerebral cortex and there by dissempower the soul. And although the Jesus seminar has acknowledged these 200 verses., what about the translation? How is it that the man Tolstoy was able to see such different meanings in the Greek words than other translators, probably in putting the highly cerebral Scholars? It takes a highly developed soul to understand and grasp a highly developed soul.

I am so drawn into getting closer and closer to the man Jesus, but this is not necessarily what my work requires. My job is to be in as able a position for the individual who feels sick or dead of soul. There are so many distractions for me from that test that don't seem like distractions but they are. I must not and will not  indulge my fascination with the man Jesus to the expense of my mission but much skill required to see where the dividing line is moment to moment.

What to study now? Jesus? Creator of Gandhi, and largely king? He knew something powerful. Mammals don't have the distraction of our cerebral cortex. Mammalian studies primate studies must be a priority. Mammals are so much more humane then we human of this century. Scholarly study and thought on Joy.

What happens to the body if you ignore the cancer too long? Ignoring the cancer of immorality works the same way

This is your children's future, if you don't heal me NOW, Sincerely, Your Mother.

You have a mind and body. You are a Soul. Live like it.

You have a mind and body. You are a Soul. Rescue  it.

Rescuing soul from joylessness log, March 18th. Productive, important, non-strategic day.

Yesterday was a relatively easy day because everything was clicking in place. The vision was really maturing, ideas were coming together. Possibly a bit of a manic High?
But not just a manic High, things are building, focus is increasing, accountability is increasing, the vision is maturing with so much work and study.
Work continued to attempt to support one of the more important Souls that has been in Mortal Danger of being crushed by our cruel Society. I don't know if I'm helping. I know that I care. And probably I'm being of a little bit of help. So a fair amount of today was spent on that communication.
The season at this magical sacred Mount Whitney area is changing, the tourist traffic is beginning to increase soon dramatically. So instead of an empty Park where the little pennies I can spend in town make a difference, I could quickly turn into an unwanted homeless guy. Several days ago I expressed a concern that I was feeling a bit of a chill. An encounter with a very key individual to that feeling, today, was quite a flow of warm air. If I need to leave tomorrow it is no tragedy. It would be best for the work if this sacred Rich conducive area can remain our base of operations until the fall at least. And today's encounter suggest to me that that is quite possible to be comfortable for all. Time will tell.
But additional venues for discreet parking at night are a good idea, probably necessary, so some of today was spent scouting out such things. And frustratingly time will be spent in the coming week or so scouting out areas. But it's all part of the process of keeping a base of operations underneath this Mission.

Another operations issue enabled by Sol, this miraculous platform, is to fortify Sol in several regards if possible. On the trailer wheels and the rear wheel of this vehicle there's just too much weight, too much stress. It is manageable and if things can't be stabilized further we will be okay. But exploration of some possible upgrades is taking time. Feelers have been put out and some feedback come in on the idea of going to a much fatter rear wheel with much more tread and it would also provide more cushioning to the vehicle. It would require a new rim and quite a bit of Labor to rebuild the wheel but I could probably do that and it wouldn't be terribly expensive. And the next grade of spokes, increase thickness, which is the greatest thickness available, would be put on at that time. Probably as of tonight it's about fifty-fifty that that will be done in the next two or three weeks, or finally put aside as an idea. Similarly exploration is occurring to see if thicker spokes can go on the rear trailer wheels. That will probably be determined tomorrow. And again would require me or maybe someone in the town 60 miles north of here, Bishop, to rebuild those Wheels. Tedious, distracting from the research and study Central to the mission but necessary.

Much time and attention now is going to trying to process the flood of ideas, improved Vision, improved understanding that came in a bit of a nice Crescendo with in recent days. The idea of replacing all of the technology-oriented graphics on the rear of the vehicle has taken root but trying to massage in terms of what the basic color should be, it could be black but I think that's too overbearing, I'm leaning toward a gray, or maybe a muted green, and the verbage which I suspect will be the new logo on the shirt and uniform which I've shared, and also the words rescuing soul from joylessness. But that's an important decision, this will be two or three hundred dollars worth of signage, and I need some time to think it through.

" I too used to think the technology important," I replied to the to Enquirer. They played Lee walked away, But with something to Ponder.....

In yesterday's, Free Soul, log, it was shared that the signage on the back of the vehicle is going to be replaced with messages such as are at the upper left of this blog. It has been a long time, more than a year that it has been clear that this technology of Sol is nothing more than a bad distraction from the only issue that matters, freeing the occasional soul. Freeing it from the tyranny of head and flesh.
Although that will take a few weeks to design and another few weeks to execute the notion already made my reply more potentially beneficial to those two  Enquirers. Will it prick their soul, my reply? It could, and the reply I would have given them yesterday or the day before would not have had that potential. All hope depends upon freeing the soul of the tyranny of head and Head & flesh.

Not between good and bad people, but between good and bad, is the eternal struggle.

March 17th solar RV cycling log. Where the eyes are focused makes a big difference.

Over the years it has come to me at times that where are the eyes are focused makes a big difference. each time it has come to me it was that focusing way down the road was really helpful. No question that it was. But few if any of those times were in constant climbing. It turns out that where the eyes are focused is enormous Lee helpful in climbing, but not way down the road, inches in front of the vehicle!. Yes, this never occurred to me. But now I can reflect on various ways the body has tried to achieve this without my knowledge. But having it in conscience competence now is really in powering.

Other than that all lessons of the last 7 days or so continue to prove themselves correct. Having said that, who knows how much of that is now automatic, but what is conscience today is staying entirely within the engine compartment, all focus, and by focusing the eyes only inches in front of the vehicle further placing attention simply on achieving sustainable strong power each stroke. Very freeing of the mind. Very non frustrating. Very nice. Very sustainable.

More on this. If one is running a sprint there gaze maybe way down the track. if one is running up an extremely steep mountainside there are gaze maybe a foot or so in front. Obviously, correct? LOL. Well, not obvious to James for the last 5 months of climbing every other day. Not obvious to James three and a half for 4 years now in to extensive cycling. But obvious today. Better late than never?
 above discussed was that looking just inches in front of the vehicle, well, just immediately over the dashboard which is probably 5 ft in front, not ideal, is extremely helpful. As helpful or more is understanding that the pedal stroke in steep grade is targeted just inches ahead of the pivot point in the road. Biting off just a little bit of climb. At faster speed the target would be a foot or two feet or 3 ft or 5 ft ahead. Very logical. Has been on obvious to change. Now he is seeing it and very very appreciative that he is.

Also helpful at times today and then forgotten and then remembered, is to attempt a mix of power with every stroke. What is automatic so far is asking too much of the downward stroke and nothing of the upward stroke and possibly even asking the downward stroke to lift the up going leg. Almost certainly it is desirable those times when he is remembered to have a mix of power every stroke most of it on the down stretching leg but always some of it on the uprising leg a mixture. The nervous system so far finds this a very natural thought to respond to but it quickly forgets unless it is kept in mind.

And now, even more! Building on the above, now the long past, weeks, emphasis on a feeling of cycling, is back in play. Who knew?!!! Why? How? In climbing, with this notion of accepting that each stroke can advance the vehicle only inches it is making it reasonable and possible to add the notion of a cycling feeling. It happens quite easily when the thought is brought to mind and the power increases substantial Lee, maybe from a hundred human What's 4 hour, to 120, or 150.

Rescuing Souls from joyless slavery, March 17th. Extremely important log. Thoughtful pondering and comments most welcome.

I wonder, Jesus it is said spoke essentially about the Son of God, the only Son of God. In my mind and experience it is impossible that he was referring to himself. Just not possible. Totally inconsistent with all his life and teaching.

But was he speaking of the soul, the limbic system, part of all of us? If he spoke essentially of the Son of Man, the only Son of God, this would have been what he was speaking of, the soul, mammalian brain, in all of us, dead, or effectively dead and imprison, by the head and flesh.

Listening to Karen Armstrong yesterday, a very important thought was born within me. Thanks Karen. Why does every mammal mother, and many mammal fathers, forgo sex, food, their own comfort, their own safety at cetera? Only one answer is possible. They find more gratifying still, then those things very pleasurable things, the joy of attempting to provide for their loved one. And this is what the limbic system, the mammalian brain, the soul, does, unless it has been hijacked by a partnership of the cerebral cortex and Reptilian Brain, hypothalamus.

How can it be that no one wants to join alongside me in the work that has me in its possession? How can it be that at pain of my life it is irresistible to me this work, and entirely resistible to everyone else?

It was Karen Armstrong I think, maybe Parker and Brock, that taught me that it was only in the 1901 Bible translation that central became believing in Jesus, instead of believing the faith of Jesus in God, Creator, Soul, Heart. Now I am exploring the earlier gospel translations, King James 1611, and the translations of the original Greek texts, especially by Tolstoy but others as well. Attempting to get closer to what Jesus actually said.

Not academic is my interest in anything. Not anymore. My interest is in Soul, rejuvenating it, resurrection, revivalizing, redeeming, human soul, releasing human soul from slavery to head and flesh internal and external. How can everyone stand to not join with me in this exact work?

And if they have good reason, how can everyone stand not to tell me the error of my work?

LOL, so amusing how long things take me sometimes. This particular vehicle technology being no more than a horrible constant distraction from the only worthwhile work, rescuing the individual soul that is dying to be rescued from tyranny of head and flesh. As it is the attention it draws from folks to technology,  such a horrible distraction. Only today did I realize that erasing the signage currently on the rear part of Sol, replacing it with messaging regarding rescuing soul from head and flesh, is a high priority now. In coming days signage mockup will be created and shared with a hopes that some may give me reactions and ideas for moving toward implementation within the next couple of weeks.

Goodness why have I been given this vision that the key to unlocking individual rescue of soul is that soul in charge of head and flesh is the only gateway to joy, paradise, nirvana? If I am not mistaken it is the key that all the sages have been looking for but almost found.

I experience it as an extraordinary responsibility. Keeper of this thing that I did not ask for. What happens if I am wiped out tomorrow morning? Days from now? Weeks from now? Months or now? No one cares what I do. No one cares what I'm doing. But that's not my responsibility. My responsibility is to do the best I can with what I'm given. Currently that is placing renewed emphasis on these log in entrees, what if I'm wiped out tomorrow morning but I have left notes in these logs, my blogs, Facebook? Surely that is some exercise of my responsibility, my duty.

Tragically in the last 20 years I've forgotten more about leadership of the soul by a factor of 1000 then I can now remember. That was my  stock in trade for working miracles in organizations within high-tech industry. But maybe I can brush off small bits and bring them to bear now.

My love and frustration with the work of Karen Armstrong who i listened to most of yesterday, produced benefit yesterday. The soul, limbic system, mamalian brain, heart, is put to sleep, further enslaved to, by appealing to the cerebral cortex or hypothalamus which is what the best intended do, well intended scholars, religious folks, as documented in Brock, Parker, and even Karen Armstrong. As well intended is it maybe, and it has a place, it is novocaine, anesthesia, to the soul, unless the soul has first been ignited. James, what are you going to do with this? There was a 25 year period in industry where that question, how are you going to ignite their hearts James, was constantly put to me by the situation and answers developed. Those skills and abilities need to be resurrection and brought to bear on all this.

Regarding this last point clueless almost I am but not entirely. The road to the soul is through the eyes not the ears, vision, not analysis, example, not dogma and text..... Be the change. Example it's not the major thing, it is the only thing.

Just now reading John, from the Greek translation, I think. John has always been suspect to me. The Jesus seminar Scholars say that only two of all the phrases in John are true to Jesus and probably spoken by him. On the other hand, Tolstoy, the creator of Gandhi, and somewhat of King, found John very true to the man Jesus from the original Greek texts. Tonight, again, My alarms were going off with John, seemingly so dogmatic. But surprising to me, I also found that his language interpreted a different way, than I had been interpreting it, and I think as Tolstoy does interpret it, was very much in keeping with the soul of the man Jesus and what he taught and lived. the Son of God, if the Son of God is the soul  born in all of us, if he means that, and it is, then John’s writing is very valuable. And as I recall now from many years ago, this is how Tolstoy interpreted it.

But something else hit me about John and more particularly what we're sure Jesus did write. Often he spoke in Parables. Why? Answer. In an attempt to bypass the cerebral cortex and activate the mammalian brain, the limbic system, the soul.

PS. The photograph at the top. Unretouched as are virtually all of the photographs from me. I'm interested in what creation has to say, not me. This place is so magical. On Tatooine (that planet where Yoda was?) was that place of extraordinary evil, the cave, where Darth was seen. This Whitney portal, the base of Mount Whitney, is sort of the opposite. How does the sun set exactly over Mount Whitney? How does the moon set exactly over Mount Whitney? It is an extraordinary place of Creator, whatever Creator is.

We got here by voting for the Lesser evil, large and small. What don't you understand about that?

Rejuvenating Souls, returning them to charge of head and flesh, is the only business we have as human creatures. Everything else is consequence. Of success, or failure.

Rejuvenating Souls, returning them to charge of head and flesh, is the only business we have as human creatures. Everything else is consequence. Of success, or failure. Revitalizing? Re-establishing? Resurrecting? Empowering? Re-establishing ? Rehabilitating? Reawakening?  Re enlivening? Reinstalling? Releasing? Resurrecting?  Releasing? 3in Froning? Or something else? Putting them in charge, maybe charging? But putting them in charge of hadn't flash where they belong to be is what I would like to capture in a word. If you have any thoughts you would like to share I'd be glad.

Solar RV cycling log. March 16th. James, forget about everything except optimising your energy in the motor Department. You were delivered energy. Moment by moment. Do what you have to do to achieve that. Let everything else take care of itself

.

A new thing, introduced in the last log, the last voyage.

Staying entirely within the engine compartment. Keeping all energy there. All focus there. That is, all focus on delivering energy, full extension cycle with each stroke. Maximizing the energy with in the compartment, letting everything else take care of itself, speed, cadence.

It is near totally automatic. Leaving all attention available for study. It is comfortable, not frustrating. Not particularly powerful but extremely sustainable it seems.

Could I have gotten here directly? If I fall off the path can I get back here directly? I don't know. I do know it is a very nice thing to have found, it will allow very high output in calories per voyage with maximum freedom of the mind.

Most importantly I hope to remember that arriving here was by way of the lessons of the recent logs, the last several weeks. This is a bicycle rotated back 40 degrees. In a conventional bicycle it is near automatic to remember and nearly impossible to forget that completing the full extension downward every stroke is highly desirable.

This new thing today builds on that, captures the idea of using both legs up and down to deliver power and seems to solve a multitude of sins, getting hung up on turning the crank. I can't control it. I can highly control how I just deliver power within this engine compartment.

To repeat, it is quite nice this journey those long segments when the body is implementing the idea, just focus on delivering sustainable energy within this engine compartment. Don't worry about turning the crank. Don't worry about cadence. Let that follow from the task of delivering energy to the maximum sustainable level within this space. Go slower if that's what needed. Pedal slower if that's what's needed. Your only task is to maximize power within this space. That's the only job.

The Temptations seems to be never ending to carry the habits of the prior few moments into what are changing circumstances by virtue of the grade changing even slightly. The tempting is almost overwhelming to find a way of continuing everything about the stroke that was working a moment to go into these new circumstances. A powerful antidote to that, seems to be what is being discussed above. If the focus can be shifted back into the motor compartment, and the question asked, how can we improve the amount of power being delivered, frequently the answer is, lower the cadence, slow down, slow down,. So counter to what is intuitively desirable. But always experienced as a positive. This poor old body can't do better than it can do, but it can do worse. And adjusting in what seems like a negative direction, slowing down, is just what the doctor ordered almost every time. What will enable us two deliver the most sustainable power in the motor compartment at the moment? Forget everything else. You can't control speed James. You can only optimeyes power in the motor compartment.

It's sort of like and actually imagining that this is simply a piece of equipment in an exercise gymnasium, a treadmill, a stationary bicycle.

March 16th, ransoming soul log.Note to self, note to the world. Joy is the only answer. I've never been more f****** serious.

The element that has been missing from the greatest sages throughout the eons, the keys could unlock everything, sadly it's too late for everything, they lived exemplified used, they examplifide, but they didn't see. The fish is the last one to discover water.

The pursuit of joy is the answer. And joy is the experience only granted every breath that the nervous system thinks we are trying to serve the neediest souls in solidarity, from our own.

I, everyone, should devote their lives to proving this, demonstrating this, sharing this, popularizing this, expecting to fail, knowing near surelt that we will, but nothing else is worth the effort. And nothing else, nothing, nothing, nothing is so joyful.

Karen, thank you for your 12 steps. You are not from a sales in marketing background. You have not had to make your living by selling things. That's a fact. It is not a criticism. But it is a fact. You are telling people how to build a watch. That they should build a watch. That there are benefits to the world to building a watch. But you are not telling them personally why they should build the watch, what's in it for them personally, become more compassionate. Why they would want to become more compassionate personally. And maybe there's no reason.

But my life tells me that there is. Virtue is the reward of joy. The reward of joy only comes from the virtuous soul ruling over head and flesh. That is nirvana. That is heaven. That is paradise.

My point is not too criticize you or to belittle. My point is to make additional benefit of your fine work, the clarity of what all the religious sages have missed and you too. There is no hope for any of this that you so carefully, honestly, based on such scholarly rigor, propose. 12000 years proves that.

Unless something's been missing. You cannot activate the mammalian brain by appealing to the cerebral cortex which is what you do almost without exception.. It's what they have all done.

And if joy is not the ultimate human experience, and if the simple path of for joy, serving those needy Souls in solidarity, is not the experiential superior path, then there is no hope.

But if there is that, then that needs to be our work, to flood the world with examples. To make what is right before eyes visible and therefore the ultimate desire. Rather indisputable study is that the Western World at least, particularly all-powerful America, is relatively strong in IQ, and near zero in EQ.

Dear dear dear Karen. I have such respect for you. I've been where you are. I've been down your path. You are doing a heroic job of standing on the shoulders of all the cerebral Giants spiritual and academic religious and scholarly before you.

You are remaining their direction. Everything about their directions says that it's failure. How many more Millenia do we have before we face that? Their direction is a clear absolute confirmed failure.

But as I keep saying, the founders, the visionaries, the few Giants, were living it. There's a wonderful scene in patch Adams early in the movie when Robin has committed himself in the asylum. The crazy old man in the movie holds up his fingers and says how many can you see?! He's crazy instanct. But finally Robin gets the point, don't look at the fingers, that's the problem. Look beyond them.

Look at the Quality of life of the spiritual Giants. Their life was nirvana. They knew all the options as the human beings including survival comfort pleasure safety. They found something preferable and often paid with their life rather than to give that up. Supreme selfishness is the Supreme Alturism. Supreme altrurism is the Supreme selfishness. That is the hidden pearl worth all price.

Ransoming Souls log March 15th. Trump calls out the mob. Where does the time go?

March 15. Ransoming Souls log. Trump calls out the mob. Where does the time go? The Workman is worthy of his Keep, Jesus said.

Much of the day was spent planning, with some execution, of Maintenance items on this miraculous Saol, solar RV vehicle, my partner. My friend. Reactive and preemptive upgrade of wiring. Yes, wiring some more. I can blame it on learning curve, but there's some procrastination too. Instead of doing it right the first time…. Central to my being it seems is testing the limits. Other workers included lubrication, and replacing some broken spokes in that all critical, overstressed, rear wheel. And a few other items. Where does the time go?

Trump, the Satan in Fantasia, calling out the evil monsters, New Zealand, the military and white mob in the United States, he has nowunmistakably deliberately explicitly clearly declared war on me, on every decent person, all decency. Does that include you? If you are decent, it does. Some of today has been spent communicating about that on Facebook.

Multiple times communication from me has spoken of how welcoming this town and area seems to be to me. So that is a feeling I've had and I don't think anyone has objected to me mentioning it, or question my judgment.Within the last couple of days the wind maybe is changing? Yesterday in town there were a number of people where the encounter instead of being very warm had maybe a slight chill to it? An official here with the park service has been exceedingly kind, we have enjoyed talking. 2 days ago he was also genial, but all rules. I'm wondering if there's talk about me, some negative rumor? Just as likely and maybe more so is the amount of time that I have been here, though I am a very good citizen. And then there is the onset approaching of the tourist season and that one I am in sympathy with, not helping to establish that this is a place to have people Homestead.

The park official that has been so kind and good, two days ago the word Homeless was used in conjunction with me. Prior he had made comments to suggest that he thought we shared an affinity with the man Jesus. If I hear that Homeless thing come up again I'm likely to cite to him that Jesus had seemed to say that his workmen were worthy of their keep, meat, was the word that Jesus used, but I suspect that ability to sleep also would have been included.

Interesting and constructive it will be if in fact the town wants me gone, enough folks. Jesus instructed his disciples of the time to make their concern clear if the town they entered did not want them. Maybe always I thought that that was meant by way of rebuke. But that's not very interesting and I don't know how suspect that's it. It is a learning opportunity, for the town. A necessary part of the process.

It may well be that it is nothing, just a Tremor in my perception. Time will tell. Whether without the town term turning unreceptive, with the message Clarity that has come as a benefit of these five months of study, it would be far from tragic if this Mission set out on the road again, resuming a fishing Expedition with much Clear lures, and upgraded abilities for dealing with the rare nibble.

After much planning a new communication uniform has been ordered which I think will be suitable in durability and in message for coming years now.

Cycling log March 14th.

Because of the simple building blocks, two essentially, these last four logs or so, a new thing tonight. Not sure where it fits in the scheme of things but tonight it is quite nice.

So, to emphasize, read the previous 5 logs or so to understand what the following requires as a prerequisite.

News thing. Ignore the real world. Forget about forward motion. Forget about the paddling, cranking, per se. Focus everything on what is going on by way of fluid energy transfer isolation with in this cockpit. This is 100% of what can be controlled, 100 percent of what has impact, and it turns out that at least tonight ignoring what's going on outside including forward motion is very liberated, increased efficiency, relaxation, fluid motion, psychological ease, sustainability, at least in this second 25 percent of the journey.

March 14th ransoming souls log. 12 steps to a compassionate life, Karen Armstrong. Cerebral rich but blind of soul.

March 14th ransoming souls log. 12 steps to a compassionate life, Karen Armstrong. Cerebral rich but blind of soul.

Listening to Karen Armstrong 12 steps to a compassionate life.

So glad to be listening to it. Of course it builds upon, is her lessons learned, from a lifetime of study of the sages of the last 12000 years. Brilliant work of the neo cortex, cerebral cortex, tremendous contribution to us. Limbically blind but cerrebrally huge contributions.

Quite possibly with cew reservations I could point the one in a million souls dying to be free of head and flesh domination, to this book with positive effect. It will probably be weeks before I'm sure of this but that's the way it seems so far.

She makes the mistake of the others, and maybe of most or all of the sages themselves, to think that the motive force, the reason for doing, is to prevent humanity from extinguisher itself, and to reduce suffering. But this is not so, because 12000 years proves that Humanity, the human being cannot organize around this. The nervous system simply can't do it. The nervous system cannot escape seeking the most possible gratification with every breath.

And yet the sages just don't see is what they live. Joy. For joy serve those poor souls, in solidarity. Not to save humanity. Not to save creation. Simply and purely for joy. And the result this way of Saving creation and Humanity or at least the rare individual from psychological suffering can happen. No other way can it happen.

Wind beating us up pretty good these last eighteen hours. Should subside soon.

March 12 cycling log. Yes yes yes, ever present in the mind this is a conventional bicycle tilted back.

The log of 2 days ago expressed a hope that two things would be remembered, everything is treating this like a conventional bicycle tilted back, and that I could slightly determine where the full extension was by verying force and cadence. True true true true and true.

The voyage is about half done tonight and the metrics are the best in 5 months, and as good as anything in a year. And almost automatic, the mind is free for study every moment. Fabulous.

Our primary goal is mindless exercise effectiveness. The metrics of this trip are very favorable. The human battery and motor so far have done 25.7 percent of the work * 900 lb is this old body caring itself + 70 lb. Pretty respectable. Relatively low Cadence has been tolerated to allow for more human power.

So, not with standing the exclamation above, the two bedrock principles now which nothing must easily over shadow, a new thing is showing itself.

It has been seen before. It has been felt before and enjoyed before. Maybe now unconscious competence is being maxed with new conscience competence. Or maybe this is just a nice thing that provides really decent performance, maybe unsustainable, but a nice change of pace for the body which certainly it is.

Anyway, this thing just showed up after the first 40% of tonight's voyage. It showed up in part because the body was getting pretty tired the muscles that have been used fwere getting pretty tired. Definitely they could have gone on but they did a little creative intelligent experimenting.

So what's going on now is an emphasis on conventional bicycle rotated back 40 degrees, that is the knee coming to full extension every stroke constant velocity. But the new nice thing is essentially waiting as the Uprising thigh  takes the pressure off the downward trusting leg and allows that downward leg time to almost in a fluid non effort way reach that full extension. I don't know why this works. I've seen it before. And it was nice then. I couldn't hold on to it. Not into the next voyage or so. But it is a really nice change of pace and the performance is every bit as good as the more conventional first 40% of this voyage. Key to its success definitely seems to be avoiding the tendency to correct timing with an extra thrust of the outgoing leg instead, to take up the added timing needed with a little extra effort and delay on the up going leg. Totally nice change of pace.

We maybe heading into catastrophe or at least unpleasanness. About an hour ago a wind advisory showed up calling for upwards of 45 mi an hour gusts where we are headed. At 6:30 the winds should be howling where we are right now and they are not. if they do rev up hopefully it will be in about an hour when we may have a bit of shelter. If they explode sooner than that there is always turning around and going with them, they're West, Northwest, and spending the night in the hostel.

Back to the subject of the earlier paragraph, we are now attempting a balanced force implementation of what was just discussed, equal gentle force out from one leg and up from the other with perfect timing to achieve relax full full full extension. Interesting experiment. Both leg sharing the work, probably the down one doing more but it feels like an equivalence.

March 11th ransoming souls log. Yes, James, there is no hope for your work. No hope it will ever help anyone.

March 11th ransoming souls log. Yes, James, there is no hope for your work. No hope it will ever help anyone.

Karen Armstrong, the great transformation, much of today has been listening to the section on Buddha, and her introduction. By any measure I know she is a serious honest scholar as honest about her own preset positions as anyone could be. Well, almost anyone. Profoundly useful. Unlike Parker and Brock, also tremendously valuable, Armstrong does not start out with a position that Christianity or religion is the answer. She has identified religious teachers from the major traditions that point to the answer and she asserts and I suspect correctly that none of them pointed to religion as the answer, quite the opposite.

The section on Buddha, and the section, Karen's introduction, are enoemously valuable and probably sufficient for the limbic system, the soul, literally dying to breakthrough from the tyranny of head and flesh both within and without.

What a nice breath of fresh air after waiding through weeks of Christianity, for which I'm deeply grateful and it's not finished, but these axial sagees were so far beyond and above.

On a slightly different note, time was spent this morning focusing more intentionally and for a bit more time, to try and grasp the clients of this mission, in my imagination. It was not a particularly happy outcome. It was reminiscing of the last 2 weeks at Standing Rock, at least the initial part of those two weeks when dealing with the kick in the stomach, James, if you stay, 5 years in prison. A death sentence for me I'm sure. What was learned at that time was that I value goodness more than my own life, and more than anything. I knew I could die for a cause, for a population, but goodness? Indeed, yes.

And this morning's exercise was reminiscing of this, James, there are no clients for what you are attempting to refine. Only if you count the one every several hundred years, the Jesus the Buddha the Confucius. In neither the Majesterial  great transformation, Armstrong, nor in the sweeping saving paradise, Parker and Brock, no place do they speak of an explosion, or even a slight increase, a cloning of a Buddha or Confucius or Jesus. Followers! They speak of followers! They also speak of a the humanizing of groups and even societies. But no where do they speak of any of these creating a clone, and a second one, and a third one. I don't even know if they realize this. Maybe it's an oversight. Doesn't seem to be an oversight.

Some of this was in my mind, my cerebral cortex, all of it may have been in my soul, my mamalian brain. But nevertheless this morning's contemplating quickly yielded, James, there are no clients for what you're working on. Never have been, never will be.

What are you going to do James? There's a scene that many times I've spoken of when it comes to my mind by circumstance, and again it came to my mind this morning. Richard Dreyfuss, close encounters of the Third Kind, in his living room, in the final stages of losing his wife and family, madly sculpting a huge dirty mound of sand in his living room no idea what the hell he was doing. He had no idea what the hell he was doing. And he knew he had to do it. This came to mind this morning. At Standing Rock it was goodness that came to my mind as what I would gladly give my life for. This morning it was a different word but probably part of the same thing, truth. Richard Dreyfuss had to articulate what was trying to birth within him, a truth. A truth. A truth has been working to birth itself through me from my very earliest memories now that I look back. And with now no hope of a client now or in the future that I'm working for I am certain, as certain as I am of anything, that with my last breath I will gladly give my life to birth that truth as fully as I'm able.

Were Hillel, Jesus, Buddha, Confucius, Jeremiah, Muhammad, to read this passage above, their reply would be approximately, yep, we can relate.

Now, this morning's revelation was not that James is called to some esoteric quest. No no no no no. No. This is the cure to cancer, the cure to all the unnecessary human suffering, and to the prolifferation of all species in harmony. But it seems that Buddha 2500 years ago articulated, people are so happy with their  misery, no one will be reached by me. I para phrase but that's the essence of what he said and believed and found. It is so much more true today. We have spent two and a half Millenia inventing more distractions, self medications, more addictions, which are literally killing our entire species and planet but we don't f****** care.

So if Buddha couldn’t fully liberate one other limbic system, well, there was one that was spoken of, not more than one, and we're now infinitely more addicted, no, James has no clients. And the Richard Dreyfuss character did not know what the f*** he was doing. Nor really the Jodie Foster character in contact. But to me they were the most enviable of people. And enviable or not, discovering the truth that I have been called to uncover more clearly will keep me going so my last breath, so very gladly.

But there is a difference, with the Dreyfus and foster characters. Their truth was related to cerebral cortex. That's interesting. The cerebral cortex could drive one that crazy, in that way, probably with a strong dose of soul. As a young person studying philosophy that feeling is not foreign to me, and for decades in hi-tech that feeling is not foreign to me. 20 years ago it  came clear to me that that could not pull my life forward. The needs of creation, of life, a reverence for life, for the beauty of life and creation, that is the truth that has always pulled me forward and now in the absence of all hope.

Except for the hope to clarify that truth. I am. I have been. Bit by bit, I'm doing my part.
