Solar RV cycling April 12th. The purpose is to press compress the spine each stroke. New organizing principal.

Dangerous and exciting time. Physical seat radically oriented to backwards. Body finding new optimum.

New findings.

Purpose of these forward stroke is to compress the spine.

Body is to be checked in with periodically as to the mechanics. Is it happy?

Body must be shifted far enough that the knees terminate at the rotation point of the pedals. If not very frustrating and frustrating over rotation occurs. Worrisome because the knees clear the cross bar by about only an eighth of an inch.

Radical seat rotation makes sense. Does not seem to be a magic bullet of any sort. Yet this is only day one.

Inconclusive but remembering the up stroke as a deliberate feature of timing and aiming is a good idea it seems. Get also helps Lathan the stroke. And it set up this thrust importantly it seemed.

Pressing against the aligned lower spine seems to be now bringing back elements of upright cycling. Head forward curling backflow tight into the seat. Trusting against that aligned spine.

Finding, making, the target point on the ground in front of the vehicle is really really really difficult and really really really crucial.

Everything is in two elements, properly positioning the body so that the outward thrust of the thighs compressors the spine, a entirely stable platform, and hitting the target consistently based on the needs established by the Cadence and the force. Very difficult. Absolutely crucial.

The young autistic boy politely, intellectually took over the adults Observatory meeting.

My friend has two autistic Sons, 11 and 9 or so I believe. The 11-year-old went to an evening adult Observatory conference recently. Politely, taking his turn, he wound up taking over the meeting, appropriately, with his discussion of advanced Theory regarding black holes and white holes.

Some with autism have an enormous advantage over the rest of us. They lack shallow empathy, the empathy that makes us sheep, the empathy that makes us be quiet unless we fit in. The shallow empathy that prevents us from following our dreams and capacities. Thank God Greta, leader of the youth environmental movement, is autistic. Yes, she does not fit in, she is not a sheep, and she identifies the Sheep around her.

Maybe the same for this young man at the adult Observatory meeting. And of course we pathologized these. Because they don't fit in with the norm of being f****** sheep.

The medicine is this, be the change you wish to see in the world. No one wants to be that medicine, no one wants to take that medicine. The rest is history. And the funny thing is, making the attempt is the only path to Joy. The only life of joy.

James, the only citizen of nature, you are, that I have met. My friend Mike said this, I think, paraphrase.

Mike, Mary, and their extraordinary little dog Miko, have been friends to me in the last couple of weeks. It has been such a delightful encounter.
Two days ago Mike handed me a book and obviously thought it would be a good idea if I read it. This after I had mentioned that my reading list is 200 years long, and that losing weight was what I was trying to do with the vehicle. LOL. In the last few days the beginning pages and some of the last have been read to me during the journey.
Breathtakingly useful analysis of the disease of capitalism, materialism, colonialism, tribal Christianity.... This being my very inadequate initial synthesis.

Our Collective software is a software operating system problem, not Hardware. Damn the children, we will not change our software!

Damn, that program won't run! What's wrong with the computer? There were devices and maybe still are that could run dual operating systems but just one or the other at any point in time oh, and there was always a considerable effort to switch from one system to another. One application would run but only if the correct operating system were in charge. Easy fix. Switch operating systems. Our insane mania this culture for dozens, hundreds, thousands of years, we keep looking for the hardware fix for the  programs of Justice, fairness, equality, peace... Better crop methods, better irrigation methods, faster internet, more money, safer housing codes, different laws, capitalism, socialism, democracy, whatever, and that has never been the fix and will never be the fix. Changing the operating system so that the soul, the limbic system, the mammalian brain, is in charge, has only ever been the possible fix.  Confucius, Buddha, Jesus,  Hillel ,  dozens have given their lives  so we would change operating systems.  No.  We instantly distort their message into some Hardware solution. And we will destroy our children, we are destroying our children, because we will not confront that, we will not do that. Fuc the children.

Solar RV cycling log April 10th. What??! Months of agony for not adjusting the seat?!?! Need target each cycle is on the road ahead. Who knew?

Friend Mike rides a electric recumbent. Sure, Brian try it, several days ago he said. James Did. Holy s***, thought James, this makes a lot more sense. Torso aligned naturally as it is in a conventional upright.

Dang, no one seems to make  stand alone recumbent seats that could be fit for this vehicle.

Middle of the night, bing! James, four bolts hold this seat. You have a drill. Drill different holes, and go the seat back!

1100 calories in two what tonight will be a super ride of close to 2000 calories possibly, adjusting the seat is not the magical it, but the next best thing.

Without applying the hard one cause of the last 6 weeks, who knows. But they have been applied and after several hours of constantly improving struggle we are in a new ballgame it seems.

The cour lessons of the last 6 weeks are all being confirmed again.

But the vehicle is now significantly solving the alignment issue with the help of a rolled up towel in my lumbar.

The old important lesson of caring forward the dynamics of an upright cycle, full downward extension for the thighs, knees, was the Northstar compass that finally brought us to wonderful performance. As mentioned above the posture alignment, something for the thighs to trust against, is now done largely by the vehicle. With the fbutt  way way way forward and a rolled up towel supporting the lumbar.

Finding the end direction and point for the for word knees, underside, remained a mystery for a while. But now at least tonight seems clearer than ever. At very low cadence it is about 35 degrees up from perpendicular. At faster cadence get moves up. Finding this and targeting it with the knees, underside, is totally necessary.

Several items were left up high at the base of the mountain this morning, argh! Several bath mats that are put on the ground that help maintenance psychological very much. Maybe they are still there. Probably would be in the morning. But if this amazing old buddy is up to it we will go the extra her 13 mile equivalent tonight and benefit from trees that can block the wind which has been consider Bowl these last 3 days.

Squeezing the left knee toward center is worth mentioning. That left left leg likes to go rogue as you might recall being mentioned.

Laying back on the job is worth mentioning.

Staying at 50% of power or lower it's worth mentioning.

The more emphasis, sliding the butt way forward, ridiculously forward, is giant. With the huge side benefit of taking stress off the knees. More needs to be learned but the guide seems to be aligning the Torso with the spot on the ground that the knee needs to hit.

When it feels best, there's also a surprising direct line thrust thing experienced with the underside of the knee from the beginning of its thrust directly to the point on the ground that it needs to hit.

Update. The Super Ride discussed above did not happen. We have done 1440 calories, the body says, enough for tonight. We can do the rest in the morning.

Ignite souls log April 10th. Many distractions, necessary, solid forward progress.

Trial runs  of translation of Jesus 200 versus practiced this morning were exstream Lee encouraging.

My friend Mike, he and Mary are celebrating their 49th anniversary Today. Such nice friends they seem. Good to each other I think. Mike recommended a book to me, against Leviathan, Perlman the author. Mid-1980s publication as I recall. A wonderful scholar and a very serious human being from what I can tell from the early parts of this book. wonderfully and responsibly cerebral, but trying to understand a problem that is fundamentally the disempowerment of the soul, the limbic system, is limited at best from a cerebral point of view.

More distractions these next few days, preparing this miraculous vehicle for three or four months of dramatically more demanding climbing than we have even been doing. But the work of recent days and the next few is relatively inexpensive, good practice for James, and is likely to pay very high dividends in coming months.

The few bits of input so far on the graphic plan for the right side of the vehicle are appreciated yet they have in no way dislodge the current plan which James is really quite pleased with. he expects that by the end of the week they will be put into production and received within two weeks.

James translation of the 200 verses from Jesus are the other very high priority but getting these vehicle issues out of the way is the higher priority.

James has power. Current case in point. Yesterday James put away his winter boots. This morning the temperature was 27 degrees. The boots are back out. The Truman Show?

Solar RV cycling log April 8th. Experienced a pure recumbent today. Quite a lesson.

Mike, my new friend, came by as I Was preparing to Journey up the hill, he on his pure recumbent terratrike. Generous as he is, he gladly let me give it a try. Wow. Extremely enlightening. Not unlike conventional upright cycling, his pure recumbent makes it quite obvious to the body what it is supposed to do. The modified recumbent that is my vehicle does no such thing. Nor does it prevent it. And upright cycle aligns the body with the thrust of the pedals, straight down. The pure recumbent aligns the body directly with a pedals, about 70 degree recline. On tonight's voyage attempts were made with some success to achieve a similar reclining posture, scooting the rear end considerably forward on the seat, and learning to experience the mid back as the place that the thrust should act against out at roughly 60 degree angle. Also learned from the brief ride on that pure recumbent was how extraordinarily extraordinarily extraordinarily effortless it is to move it. And that encouraged an experiment on tonight's ride of establishing a power ratio so that James was moving himself plus about 40 lb instead of himself plus 250 lbs. As a consequence on tonight's ride James burned just under 1200 calories as opposed to the 14 or 1500 calories that he prefers. But much higher sustained output power was also observed, long stretches of 140, 150, as opposed to the 110 watts that has been seeb recently.

It seems like the really really really important lesson of tonight was that the place to be thrust from is the mid back reclining as much as possible, buttocks slid Way Forward, and the thrust should be along that recline to an air place at about 65 degrees. Laying down on the job has a place here.

April 8th ignite soul log. Virtually no comepatriots in this mission. Not complaining.

Each call of recent weeks for assistance with graphics messaging has received at most one answer. Definite silence. No offense intended to the mission and none received. What does it mean? For certain no passionate comePatriots, partners. Could mean friends are a bit aghast. Complete disinterest is my best guess.  Extraordinary how what one person finds worth their entire being, everyone else finds totally disinteresting. So it has been for thousands of years now for Jesus, Buda, Confucius. Oh billions are interested in what is projected up on these individuals but no one is interested in what they actually taught and lived. The rest is the history of species Extinction.

The graphic for the right side is probably finished in concept, unless there is some unexpected useful input from others. Within two days the final production artwork should be completed and then within several weeks the final product received. In all likelihood the back panel will also be designed and created at the same time. Each side will cost probably two or three hundred dollars so the left side will probably wait until the right side and the back panel prove themselves.

Solar cycling log April 7th. Conventional cycling is thrusting against something, the torso, the pelvis. Who knew?

This is feeling like a gigantic step forward. The first time grasping what the essence of this recumbent cycling is and what the notion that it is a upright bicycle rotated backwards means.

At various times in this very good performing journey, low output per hour but extremely sustainable at extremely low RPM so James is carrying himself plus almost his own weight again tonight. 1/3 of this 900 lb payload. Quite comfortably. At various times particularly early he thought that it was a matter of pushing against the spinal column aligned with the direction of trust. And that was nice for a while but it was easily lost. Very difficult to maintain that spinal column alignment with such a forward direction of thrust. But it seems that what was really needed was trusting against the pelvis somewhat tilted in alignment with that forward thrust. The buttox and thighs need something to thrust against. Yes, there is the seat back, and that plays a role but somehow that doesn't do it. And that certainly is not the answer in conventional upright cycling.

Certainly tonight feels like an important milestone. And a key element of that is an acute willingness to slow the vehicle down, way way down, way way way down, as much is needed to maintain that comfortable smooth out trust against the inertia of the pelvis.

An issue in the background rarely spoken of but they're pretty much every journey… discomfort in James knees that rises up sometimes. It is a high priority to eliminate that to protect long-term cycling. There is a high correlation with that discomfort and finding that they thrust has shifted from the forward part of the thighs down into the feet and legs.

Is the case during every week of at least the last month the real cornerstone is being aware that the body needs to feel the mechanic of an upright bicycle. And throughout this journey and most specially when things aren't feeling ideal sooner or later that touchstonr comes into mind and is tremendously helpful if not immediately eventually in bringing things back into a line.

Almost certain is James that the amazing performance reported for the end of every long journey is the body somehow finding this need for alignment with the pelvis, the torso, finding the place to push against. But only today is this coming to conscience competence with James.

We carried probably between 28 and 30% of this 900 pound payload up the hill tonight. Just over 1,500 calories. Very good ride.

Ignite Soul log April 7th. James will translate Jesus gospel????

What is involved in a translation? No, really, what is involved in a translation? The mechanics, correct? But how little of a great translation is that?

At some level translation is technique. But thousands approach the technique of a Monet, or Motzart, or a Charles Dickens, thousands at least. And they cannot approach what these people have done. So important translation is not a function of technique, or in the case of the Gospels language expertise. That plays a role but not the dominant one.

0 credit to James he has from his earliest memory seen a Jesus through the church translation that the church doesn't see, and only one in a million see. Schweitzer saw it, Gandhi through Tolstoy and a few others.,

At least for James, James has a gift of seeing Jesus, maybe no one else will ever agree.

And more to the point of this log James realizes that he has profound Lee allowed the church translation, that artistic abomination, let alone the abomination of word choice, James has let that determine his own translation too.much too long. That should not stand.

James is so eager to emerse in Tolstoy’s translation. And that must happen. But first  James must take the 200 verses that we were given by that little colored guy Jesus, and do his own translation. Starting from the English rendered by the Jesus seminar, but going beyond that. He has already begun during his up and down Hills voyage, listening to those verses. And beginning the translation in his mind. High priority must be placed on doing this in black and white. Then Tolstoy.

Downtown with Sol the vehicle today a gentleman approached and we had such a wonderful conversation. Well, mostly output from me, but I'm so glad we met and he is glad too. What I told him about the soul, the limbic system, he was clearly glad to know of and is unlikely to forget the conversation. Without James extensive study every week James would not have been able to import that information.

Tonight James encountered at least an utterly breathtaking Lee magnificent spirit over by the two ladies, the four legged ladies, vanilla and chocolate, although this individual corrected me, blondie and brownie. LOL. What a blessing to encounter this beautiful spirit. A vegan since childhood. I don't want to hurt animals she said. She spoke from a beautiful place in her heart, although later on there was some stridency evident, but why shouldn’t there be? She obviously feels a deep solidarity with all living things, and is upset, out raged, hurt, when other parts of her are hurt. Comented often have I telthe zero interest blondie and brownie have in me. Well this magnificent spitit  it turns out several times a year maybe four when she's in the area from LA will camp out for days, and walk miles to find and feed these two ladies. Vanilla, the particularly standoff fish one, she just loves it when I put my arms around her neck and on and on and on. I'm serious. How unfair! I’m totally delighted.

Mike and Molly and Nico there excruciating Lee adorable little doggie, are at the place that water is retrieved every couple of days by me. No dis credit to anyone, an exquisite blessing it is for me to encounter them these several times. Married more than 40 years, that's not important. Incredible friends to one another it seems. He is a pioneer with mobile solar and there are some technical issues that I discussed with him and another issue that he helped me out with.

The translation by Jesus James is beginning work on is a matter of tone and attitude. And substance. Some people see Mount Whitney and the mountains and lakes beyond once, are impressed and then move on. John Muir saw and it captivated his life. Those are different reactions. Qualitative Lee and quantitative leave. Same external reality, pro found Lee different understanding and appreciation.

James is finding some certainty that he and everyone have been totally missing either the spin that Jesus experience or that  he was pointing at. It is about the joy, the heaven, the reality of being a soul, limbic system, on earth in this life. James is surprised to be seeing this, the same way he's surprised at the different coloring on Mount Whitney and in the clouds each morning. He must get this out where he can see it more plain Lee and maybe discard it, or maybe stand on it and grow from it for his remaining days. More likely the latter. Has he mentioned maybe 18 years ago he caught a glimpse of this and then was detoured. His choice. Maybe the detour was right only so he could come back and stay the path this time.

Help needed. Please forward to who might. DC ebike electrical advice.

This email was sent to my friends in Vancouver Canada, grin Technologies, the supplier and go go to place for ebike electronics in the world. But they are very backed up and I wonder if you know anyone that might provide Insight on the following.

Extreme every-other-day climbing ahead for months. This is the forecast here in Lone Pine. As the Heat and bugs rise the three miles up to the portal, 5 miles of 9 and 13% grade will be usual.

I think I'm all set, but if this is crazy please let me know. So far this morning it was tested and seems to be okay.

Bottom-line question, if with only one or the other receiving power, one positive input wire disconnected, the other controller connected to the battery, can I leave in place the FaZe Runner, and the old 40 amp controller phase wires connected in parallel to my mid Drive crown?

The grin fine controller seems to have found its niche, driving the crown in the rear wheel which goes at such horribly low RPM. It provides nice substantial power, no torque of course, and it does not overheat.

On the really steep climbs the old 40 amp controller driving the mid vehicle motor and I have way more than enough power. And neither overheats. Not appreciably anyway. But that combination is insufficient for The Descent, it cannot keep me slow enough with regenerative braking Beyond about 6% grade.

But the FaZe runner on that mid vehicle motor with the grin fine controller in the rear wheel has no problem keeping me at about 6 miles an hour.

So I've got the equipment the problem is, not at the same time.

I would have preferred talking to you all first but it seemed to me that if a controller was not receiving power, the red battery lead disconnected, it would be as though it were not in the system. Sorry if I'm giving you a heart failure but please let me know.

What I am needing is a way of quickly changing over the system from climbing mode to descending mode.

And my initial tests indicate that yes, based on temperature, the controller that is receiving no power from the battery, ground wire still connected but the red Power lead disconnected, the controller not being used space Stone Cold.

The questions I have which I pray you might have time to address.

1. Is this okay or is it a bad, bad bad, bad bad bad idea?

2. Can you think of a much better way for me to do this?

If it is okay:

3. Any idea where I can Source a switch that will enable me to select between power from the battery going to One controller or the other? The stuff I could get at a hardware store certainly wouldn't handle this amount of power.

4. If the paralleling of phase wires described above, and tried this morning, is okay, could I do the same thing by wiring up a parallel harness for the hall sensor wires?

In any case,

5. Can you point me to a way of hooking up a second temperature meter to the second motor not through the cycle analyst I'm sure, but can I do a external sensor so that I can watch both Motors? 

Thanks Friends. James

More and more I experience being a soul. It's a wonderful thing. More and.....

More and more I experience being a soul. It's a wonderful thing. More and more my only concern for the body is when it goes, or is taken from me, my work will stop. So much still to do.

My lucrative business career was based on finding the one in a million client and Associate that, got it. Finally it is occurring to me that in my current Mission the same is required. Triage. Wanting to save everyone not only does not make it so, but makes it infinitely less likely.

Sol RV cycling log, April 5. Aircycling!

Wow. Building on the elements now tracked daily in the metric, the chart, proven stable these last 4 weeks, something new these first 30 minutes of tonight's four hour journey.

Aiming the torso at the 40° target.

High power cycling on a conventional cycle does this pretty automatically. But not a recumbent. There are so many alternative strategies that tempts the body. Or, seriously, I am an absolute idiot, and it has taken me years to get to this point.

Maybe both.

Also, not mentioned before, this being an electric vehicle, there is tremendous opportunity for the vehicle to get in the way of the physical mechanics of moving it with the body. James, remember to mention the dramatic, huge, monumental improvement in the vehicle cycle true performance these last couple of days.

Aiming the torso at the 40° knee target stroke. But at all times not just at the end of the target. This is an almost, maybe completely, imperceptible adjustment. And it is again what the body naturally does in high powerstroke climbing hill on a conventional bicycle. A lining everything with gravity and the direction of the downward stroke. And again, no such dictation by a recumbent cycle.

But so completely fluid, normal, comparative Lee effort list, when found. Who knew?

And remember how often the last 20% of the journey is the best performance? This alignment often happens naturally at that point, I'm quite sure. But I was not conscious of it. Only now. Power out from the torso.

Another 40% of the journey is behind us.

It keeps getting better.

Targeting the torso and maintaining it as a face for the lies legs to work against is proving monumental.

Maybe targeting 45 percent is incorrect. There's evidence now that targeting 60 % not as a hard target at the end but as a softer target tire, maybe more helpful.

Totally contrary to something that seemed helpful 6 weeks ago, keeping the eyes very low, barely in front of the vehicle, now seems the exact opposite of what's needed. Now it seems that looking far down the road helps keep the torso aligned more horizontal to the road, recumbent, and allows the rest of the knees to hit that 50 or 60 degrees target in the air.

And having done so for the last hour now you know the notion of what the buttocks and glutes do in a conventional bicycle, they do the work, and for the first time that is becoming more pronounced.

James, be prepared to go very very very very slow. Even to remind your body, to prove to your body, that it can happen. Very empowering. Very necessary. Very powerful.

Hinted at all through this voyage, and now much more pronounce is they notion of positioning the torso  at all times so that the thighs and buttocks can do all the work almost an air cycling sort of thing. Really, an air cycling sort of thing tonight. The torso totally wants to help finding and rocking and this and that. It is very hard to keep it just suck back keep to make room for the thighs to pedal aircycling. But it feels very good. Powerful, sustainable,  and less stress on the knees. It seems it is very hard to have confidence that the buttocks and thighs and glutes can do all the work but they seem to be more than up to it.

Ignite Soul log April 5. Grunt work. Slow, tedious, frustrating, necessary, laying a good foundation.

This is not the easy, semi euphoric stuff. But it is oddly satisfying and totally necessary to this mission to ignite souls. Quite satisfying indeed. See James Patting himself on the back. LOL.

James metrics are dipping. He is gladly facing up to realities. He is not on track to be a substantial transformational soul. Yes, who knows. But the likelihood is not great. Why? To far to go, too little time.

But he has been all of this adulthood the igniter of souls. Substantially? Yes, substantially. As a match is a igniter of paper or wood. Whether it is put to use or brought in contact with dry fuel is a separate matter. James will not give up on becoming a transformational soul but he will focus on what he can continue to do, be an igniter of souls.  

Directly? Not necessarily. James blog is approaching a million views these last 12 years or so that it has been up. He has put up during that period And time many tens of documents on to the Internet that were not there or we're not easily available of the most transformative souls that have ever been. And this work is continuing. Will it transform anyone's life? Don't know. Unlikely. More like than if the work wasn't being done.

More foundational work ahead but satisfying and necessary. Creating the new soul igniting oriented graphics for the side and back of the miraculous RV. Design and production at very high priority. Already beatthe traffic is increasing substantially here in lone pine Mount Whitney. The message is so on truth now, that having it on the side of the vehicle instead of the horribly distracting technical stuff is a tremendous opportunity. Some work was done today to determine that it is possible in the dimensions required. It is. Not inexpensive but after years of preparation it is time. Very exciting.

James, I've got a stiff neck. I asked why? Spending so much time looking at your photographs, he replied. Such a enjoyable couple, my age. We had several nice long talks now. Uncharacteristic Lee I initiated things when I saw the huge solar array on the top of the trailer that his gigantic RV is pulling. An electric car he pulls which he also charges with his solar array also on the roof of his RV, and two electric try circles for he and his wife.

By the way, if I were you I would check the photo archive Link at the top of this blog for the breathtaking beauty of today. Beauty just does not quit here.

With all this, in the direction of being a transformational soul this foundatioal work is moving me, but too slowly to arrive or make a substantial difference. But again, the work being done, the work of the last 15 years, is igniting of souls, it is that kind of thing, it is of that stuff, it is creating and spreading matches.

As mentioned, the metrics are trending downward, and this is a good thing. James is coming to a greater understanding of how far is needed to go. Where to fish for the soul that can ignite is totally not understood by him. There is a possibility that for the next 4 or 5 months that where he is right now geographicly would be fabulous or a complete dud. This is on the Pacific Coast Trail. People from all over the country and all over the world come to travel that trail that extends for Mexico up to Canada. Mount Whitney is the highest point in the United States so you can imagine what kind of a draw that is for a certain population. It will not be shocking to me if some portion of that population is drawn to hiking because the soul is looking for something more. It might be they all are just looking for idle entertainment, but maybe some are looking for more. It is not impossible that by being here this summer strategically placed with the new graphics that a word of mouth could be started. The 30 yr WH peace vigil which we conducted for about 3 years 12 hours a day served that purpose. Or this might be a dud. Probably something more.

It seems like we are not wearing out our welcome. But maybe tomorrow that will prove mistaken. Probably not.

Is this body finally healing from all the cancer and treatment? Only about 10 hours a day of sleep is required for the last week or so. Unwilling is James to assume that this is the new normal, but it could be. James work could certainly use an additional couple of hours per day.

Yes, these are not glamorous days, this is not the fun study of Tolstoy, but it is very satisfying because clearly a strong foundation is being laid for the coming week months years or whatever time is left.

A fruitful notion occurred today. Might be a dead end. Might be a wrong turn. Probably needs to be tested. James needs a new set of metrics in addition to the two now, to help him understand how much of a LSGIA Being  he is being. Essentially is he being a soul or a head and body? Head and flesh? Jesus in his verses, and possibly more so in the Tolstoy translation, seems to be saying that we are most joyful when we live as a soul. The kingdom comes, as thy will is done on earth as it would be in heaven. Clearly in heaven, we are soul, not a body and head. Even, especially, in the heaven, the kingdom, that Jesus taught, the kingdom was in us, the kingdom of God within us. He was explicit about this and never said otherwise. No Jesus did not live as though the flesh and the head should be ignored. Keeping them going is the price of keeping the soul active in this life.  but the body is not the goal. And my soul wants the body not to be the goal. The head, not to be the goal. But very much wants them to continue as long as they can effectively support the work of the soul. As they are doing bless their essence. So James has been living as a soul for almost two decades and partly for all of his life. But scale of 0 to 10? Maybe at 7? What an important opportunity for him to track his progress and see if he can work toward something more intense.

Tho unconscious of it you will be, your soul eternally will impact the universe. You must get it right.

Tho unconscious of it you will be, your soul eternally will impact the universe. You must get it right.

A transformative soul I may never be. An ignitor of soul I am and will be. A match, used or not.

April 4, ignite Soul log. Frustrating, but very productive day. Foundation Building.

Substantially upgraded the climbing ability of the vehicle by doing some rewiring and reallocation of controllers. Probably opens up a world of possibilities for the summer time in terms of the arduous climb up to the Whitney portal where it would be cooler and more sheltered from the wind. Very satisfying. Fortunate the way it worked out. Great support from the world authorities in Canada.
Completed a document with all of the substantiv parts of the nearly 1,000 page Tolstoy translation of the four gospels, one document that now can be read to me and annotated by me in coming weeks. Very positive step.

No one envies Jesus, a nice Christian man replied. I always have, James.....

No one envies Jesus, a nice Christian man replied. I always have, James shed. This during the 15-minute dialogue yesterday as I was riding, sweating, up the hill yesterday, to the nice man and his wife driving down the hill and their shiny black SUV. And since my earliest memories I have envied Jesus. It seems to me, to love everyone that much, what could be greater than that?

Fabulous? Body still healing from cancer surgeries 4 years ago? That's amazing, but there are indications this may be the case. About a week or more now that James has been requiring less than 12 hours a night of sleep! And some slight Improvement in the bowel difficulties that he has had. James was supposed to be dead at least 3 years ago. Wipe those tears of disappointment from your eyes. This body is amazingly strong, but getting stronger?

Appalling lack of foresight and understanding by James regarding current US demise, and the extent of evil Rising. If one does not study history, one is doomed to repeat it. The Third Reich has been on my list to study but never has been. Eric foner, the world scholar on reconstruction, was a bit eye-opening to me years ago. Most recently as I look at white supremacy Rising around the world, how could I not have understood that disguised white South African apartheid is what exists in America and around the world. White Privilege will do whatever it can to hold on to its undeserved privilege. James, such blindness.

Ignite soul log April 3th. The Phoenix rises.

The Phoenix rises? LOL. A bit melodramatic. But the last couple of days have been frustrating in as much as they have required much attention to material issues and away from deep study of the issues of the soul.

And then this morning such a treat, such a gift. The gospel of the church, their translation, gives us Armageddon. The gospel translation of toast joy, gives us, Tolstoy, Gandhi, Martin Luther King jr. The letter R  my preference. The former, to the harror and total revolving of my soul.

There is quite good scholarly evidence in the translation from Tulsa toy with his extensive extensive extensive notes, but never will I live long enough to know for sure whether he was right. What I know for sure is the outcome of his efforts is what my soul is for. So, getting more familiar, more grasp of, what toll story learned and saw, has moved very high in my agenda.

What is needed by my study is a clean PDF that I can have read to me of his initial translation work, four Gospels harmonized chapters 1 through 12.. There is near as I can tell although the book is public domain the interest in what toast toy created is so miniscule that a clean PDF does not exist.

The gift of this morning? It now exists, this clean PDF, to the 85 percent level. James had no idea it might be that easy. Credit to the skills he has developed technically in the last 15 years and certain software that he has accumulated. Creating that clean PDF is not complete, but in several more days it could easily be, and with just a little bit of luck available at several highly accessible sites, archive. Org, Scribd, and also another site that will be explored is free publishing on Amazon. What an extraordinary privilege to be a partner to the extraordinary soul., in this way. And how convicted of our culture that in 2019 it hasn't been done before. We are interested in everything except that which could save our children.

Your lips day Lord Lord, but your hearts are far from me, said Jesus 2000 years ago. It has gotten worse everyday since. He went on, you cannot worship God and Mammon, you will love the one and hate the other.

And there were other minor blessings but well worth mentioning. Two conversations, one with a roommate this morning, probably 30 or 40 minutes in length, and the other just now, irritating me at first when a nice shiny black car asked me to stop for a picture. Me bathed in sweat going uphill, them comfortably coming down. But I'm so glad they did. It was less about technology, More about the issues that are the focus of my life.

In either interchange was a soul saved? From going out? Was a soul ignited? Probably not, but it's possible. There was listening happening and at least some tiny element of soul available. And a lifetime of preparation and recent months here in Lone Pine  preparations all of which came to bear in ways that were promising.

And there was other stuff, but the highlights are above.

Yesterday or the day before the idea occurred and was mentioned that I, we, read and here and think about Jesus with the wrong tone. He had found joy. Joyfully horrified he was that we were not finding it. This notion must be more deeply explored by me.

Hours were spent by James today listening to the 200 versus that we have from Jesus. Only 200. And listening to them with the idea of the paragraph above in mind. This exercise will be repeated often  I suspect. And probably soon James will attempt to read out loud these versus imagining a way of expressing and emoting that embody what Jesus was embodying. James has done this sort of thing before even in his professional life. In valuable way exploring.
