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.
