Head spinning honor. Hello James, said the third young boy.
Generally about four hours every other day are spent downtown. James does his business, keeps to himself. On three separate occasions three different young men, maybe 12 or 13 years old, hello James. Not familiar were these greetings. Respectful, warm, serious, knowing in some way. Almost certainly they are friends and somehow have come to a favorable and wondrous opinion of James.

Solar RV cycling blog June 1st. 1, one and two, one and two and three, four?
1. recent voyages indicate that laying down a visual profile, stripes, of power, one foot at a time. Symmetrical individual footprint. Not necessarily so in terms of power or even means of delivery. It seems that is difficult given asymeteries in what the legs wish to do. But it almost always follows fairly closely. But not exactly. And that is okay.
2. Lat those stripes down at the same speed.
3. Laying those stripes down on a drum at the same speed, keeping the drum going at the same speed.
4. Applying tbe stripes with the pads of the feet on to the drum with the knees thighs leveraging it there.
5. It seems possible that the application of power by the knees is not necessarily required to be symmetrical through the application. What is required is that the drum be moved at precisely a constant speed.

Schweitzer. James too. Rarely so in companionship has James felt as in reading these words yesterday.
This a quote from the epilogue of schweitzer's final book, out of my life and thought, and autobiography.
Yesterday's voyage was spent listening to portions of multiple Schweitzer books that had recently been downloaded from archive.org. the first several were schweitzer's scholarship on the man Jesus and I was horrified. Dogma upon Dogma upon Dogma. Bulshit upon bulshit. Psychotic.
Whether he ever spoke differently about the man Jesus I don't know. But his life speaks a very very very different understanding than his scholarly works.
More from the epilogue of this autobiography.
"Only at quite rare moments have I felt really glad to be alive. I could not but feel with a sympathy full of regret all the pain that I saw around me, not only that of men but that of the whole creation. From this community of suffering I have never tried to withdraw myself. It seemed to me a matter of course that we should all take our share of the burden of pain which lies upon the world. Even while I was a boy at school it was clear to me that no explanation of the evil in the world could ever satisfy me; all explanations, I felt, ended in sophistries, and at bottom had no other object than to make it possible for men to share in the misery around them, with less keen feelings.....

Solar RV cycling log May 29th. Power pulse power pulse power pulse power pulse…. Balls of feet.
From the beginning of tonight's journey this was the goal. 45 minutes or longer it took for the body to settle down and accept the goal. But that's relatively quick.
And then the body begins to optimize. It's quite amazing.
And it's a problem. Because James body wants to pick up in the next journey with the optimized performance. And that never happens. Seemingly it must be a progression, from the very basic.
James begin every journey with the simple goal of feeling the long power pulses in the balls of the feet. If anything beyond that happens fine. Make it automatic, simple. This is all about exercise while studying.
Yes a long lost friend showed up! The thighs doing 100 percent of the work of delivering the power pulse sensation in the balls of the feet! Kindly, the ankles collapsing, completely limp to get out of the way of the thighs delivering those long pulses. It's f****** wonderful. And horribly un sustainable when James tries to go right to this! James, please, don't do it!

Ignite Soul log May 29th. Some of us understand things differently. Than most.
A major leep forward this seems to be. Some of us see it differently. What?
Very hard to articulate. With this unexpected Epiphany this morning several things happened with James. James is not alone. James is not the only one with these perceptions. This matters to James why? Because it substantial Lee increases the odds that in the rare encounter with an undead soul to be able to articulate this truth will increase the odds of that not completely dead soul hearing. Of course.
Billions of people today and throughout history understand Jesus, God, Confucius, Mohammad, Judaism… a certain way. But a few of us under stand it differently.
Who? Who is this we? Pretty much the folks at the lsgiabeing.com sight.
Well, James, that's pretty odd that more than 15 months after you created this site you're just realizing this now? Yes, quite. But there it is.
If a lot of decent Americans there are, Trump is gone. If not, America is gone. That works.

Solar RV cycling log May 28th. On tiptoe one would push a car forward, no?
No, the answer is no under certain circumstances. But it is yes under certain circumstances and the body would want to do that.
The last several voyages have pointed to a central Focus being the tangible awareness in the area of the feet of sufficient weight, Force, energy commensurate with the movement of the vehicle at that instant in time. This is proving to be extremely helpful.
Andean several hours of between 10 and 13% grade climb today building from that simple notion of feeling that commensurate energy in the area of the feet evolved into the body finding ways of achieving the equivalent of moving that vehicle forward on tiptoe.
This is worth remembering.
More basic and substantial was the comfort that the body evolved 2 that what it wanted to do was not avoid pressure on the feet by way of relaxation but that salvation was in smoothly applying firm pressure as much of the 180 degrees that's possible as it could. There is definitely a love-hate relationship with this old body between applying force and avoiding it. But misery is a voiding it, gladness is in finding sustainable comfortable ways of applying it.
Ignite the soul log May 28th. Jesus religion is the soul in charge. Inhabiting soul. Not flesh or head.
Such a curious idea did Jesus have. That as we are born of the force of life we are of the force of life within our flesh. But that we can live without awareness of this and imagine that we are of Flesh not soul.
In studying, listening, editing, compiling the work of Leo Tolstoy, becoming immersed in his understanding of the teaching of Jesus, it is almost hard to imagine any other way of being. And then being in our sick culture it is hard to imagine what Tolstoy and Jesus were speaking to us.
How incomprehensible for James to Simply make the purpose of his life to inhabit the world that Jesus and Tolstoy speak to us of. And how may be the most important thing that anyone can do. No one living there would be destroying the planet. No one living there would be destroying the life of others.
That seems fairly worthwhile, seeing if one can be an example of that way of being.
But not to suggest that anything's going to be saved of any magnitude. It is not.
And yet if to the soul the most magnificent thing is soul, then increasing the chance of just one other Soul being saved is the joyful thing to do.

Ignite Soul log May 27th. What if we all lived as a loving piece of creator?
Tolstoy absolutely concluded the this is what we were supposed to do, that this is what we are born to do, and absolutely that this is what Jesus taught and did.
I just can't at the moment think of a better way of using my life to serve than trying to do the same. It is not what I've been doing but I have definitely been moving in that direction. If I continue to move in that direction, maybe more aggressively now, I don't know what I'll find. But I think we need me to find out.
Solar RV cycling May 27th. Insanely, insanely, insanely difficult it is to feel this vehicle!
The emphatic lesson of last Voyage was, James, one at a time! From the beginning! And mercifully that lesson was applied today.
So very glad is James that it was! Solve all the problems? It did not! But allow the discovery of a major problem, it did!
The electronics of this system are miraculous. But they as I have them maybe Miss installed, misadjusted, are ferocious in creating a game of moving the vehicle which is divorced from the vehicle itself! They make it almost impossible to avoid playing the games of the algorithms, instead of actually finding the true logic of moving the vehicle!
Irrespective of James but in high-level athletic Pursuits a major problem is unconscious competence. It is so horribly easy to conclude that one knows why performance is extraordinary when actually it is not what one thinks it is!
Note to James. Panic, panic, panic... James, if the balls of your feet do not exactly feel Justified that they are actually moving the vehicle every inch. Panic! Fix it!
If at any instant it is not one leg at a time, unmistakably, moving the vehicle, putting the pressure on the pads, Panic! Fix it!
Oh, things are going well? You don't want to fix those? You f****** sucker. You are being sucked in. And momentarily everything will fall apart.
Major update. And now whole new ways annoying this vehicle. This is a bit on settling. If there is any common thread it is that James needs to stay in the real world. James needs to stay in touch with a vehicle. And that mean is moving the vehicle with pressure that his feet feel on the pedal area. Keep it real James. However you do it have the pressure that you are applying to the pedals equate to the movement of vehicle. Don't get sucked into motor fantasy land.
And now something else entirely new. What the f***? First ever. The notion of the feet almost irrespective of the physical machine, continuing to turn an imaginary crank 360 degrees.
If there is progress in any of this, and I think there is, it is that James, you have been so wrong. The point of sanity is honestly feeling and maintaining pressure in the area of the feet in a somewhat circular fashion. It might be the ball of the feet. It might be an imaginary ball. It might be your ankles. But feeling commensurate Force with moving the vehicle, energy, in the feet area in a somewhat circular fashion maybe the point of sanity and everything else can evolve from that hour-by-hour journey by Journey. And let me emphasize, it is more likely that this is not slavishly defined by the mechanics of the vehicle and crank area. This is difficult to grasp but it keeps coming up. The machine that you can control James, is your legs and body for the purpose of applying force, energy, commensurate with moving the vehicle. You can't control anything else.
Let's be honest. James photographs the same stupid things day after day after day month after month. But he.....
Let's be honest. James photographs the same stupid things day after day after day month after month. But he is profoundly fortunate. Each of these photographs he experiences as a natural Masterpiece, not the photo, but what they reveal. Given the choice between owning every painting in the finest art museum, were these photos he chooses the latter. They blow him away.
Yes, I am being honest. No, I am not fishing. And my guess is that with few if any exceptions the lsgiabeing.com throughout history would be as idiotic as I and feel the same.
Luke 6 [32]For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. [33]And if y.....
Luke 6 [32]For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. [33]And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. [34]And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. [35]But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. [36]Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.

Solar RV cycling log May 26th. Yes, one leg pause the other leg pause, repeat.
800 calories today up extremely steep climb confirmed the lesson of yesterday. James, the Bedrock is one leg, pause, the other leg, pause, repeat. You don't need to do better than that. It solves and prevent so many problems it seems. Yes, there is performance well beyond that. But the building block is that. And if at times your body is able to build on that later in a journey, so be it. But always start with the building block. And be satisfied if that's all there is. Your goal is study with exercise. This should be able to supply that.
Ignite Soul log May 26th. It's all going down. Being soul, of creator, for joy, and for others, the work to be done.
More hours of work and study of Jesus teachings, as translated by the extraordinary Soul, Leo Tolstoy. James Studied Tolstoy quite deeply 20 years ago. And now again after 20 years more experience. Everything decent is in flames. Possibly in this extreme Darkness the light of Jesus through the Tolstoy translation is that much clear?
I thought so periodically over the last 20 years and then been distracted away. Again I'm finding myself persuaded. Toward intensity? Toward being distracted away again?
Not many years ago a beautiful poem, at least it seemed that way to me at the time, was about, kindness is the only thing that makes sense anymore.
being that of creator, Creator rains and provides sunshine on the evil and on the good. Being that. Which is the soul in charge. Is that the only thing that makes sense anymore?
At the moment I can't think of anything that makes as much sense.
This will be interesting going forward.
Part of being of the Soul, inseparable, is being glad to die at any time, though not careless of the opportunity to be of service. All those of any goodness to retain that goodness in the accelerating hell that is the United States, the den of evil, to hold on to that goodness, their soul, must learn to be glad to die when the time comes. Not knowing when that is. But being ready. I think James is.

Solar RV cycling log may 25. Basic building block, 1 lever at a time.
James, instantly that things are not going well, drop down to the basic building block! One lever at a time. Pause in between. The other leg weightless. Simple. Simple. Simple. Simple.
There is a horrible horrible horrible tendency of the two legs to get enmeshed. To rely on one another and to lose confidence in their ability individually to move the vehicle. This is a catastrophic breakdown. Immensely frustrating. Very discouraging to the nervous system. And it needs not be. Keep it simple James when you need to!
Maybe if James were cycling for 4 hours a day as he was he could maintain high level performance. But the complexity of that high level performance which seems so simple is and invitation to death spiral. Icarus tempted to fly to close to the Sun.
Horribly frustrating. Horribly distracting. Terribly discouraging. Everything falls apart.
I hope for James in the future to never attempt high level performance. Let it come, if indeed it will. Simply lever the vehicle forward one independent leg at a time. Paul's in between! Break any inter dependents. If anything develops out of that on a voyage, fine. If it doesn't. You get your exercise!
New rule! Start out every voyage one leg at a time, paws in between. Prove and establish confidence that one leg at a time in sort of short thrusts can and will sustainably move the vehicle!

Solar RV cycling log May 23rd. Sustainable leverage knee pressure cylinder, that's it.
So many so many so many so many other things the body wants to cleverly think of. What the f***? Even with all the positives of the last several journeys. Even with all that in mind.
At the end of it it seems there are three things. One. All of the power is in the thighs as levers. 2. Everything else limp or firm so that it does not interfere with the freedom of levers. 3. The unified target seems to be the image of the front of a barrel that the levers, the forward area around the knees, is delivering pressure to keep that cylinder, Barrel, rolling forward. For. Sustainable pressure. Not too much.
Holy f***! The best of all friends showed up at the end of today's voyage. What? The notion that the optimum is leveraging forward a huge heavy ball, sphere, with the thighs, the knees being the pressure point, and to do so in such a way the constantly adjustments are made so that the strength of the legs, sustainably leveraging forward, are able to comfortably maintain the exact momentum of that gigantic huge heavy sphere. This was the stuff of that magical 2 weeks first crossing Iowa to the West, and then to the east. The central piece that fell into place, absolutely crucial, is that the goal is not to maintain the speed of the sphere, but to protect its exact momentum. Absolutely what made this possible was the notion of the entire power source being the thighs leveraging forward one at a time. With an important edition that happened mid voyage today. There's a tendency to find the the leverage is downward toward the ground. When it was realized that the leverage is actually a line slipping slightly forward maybe a 20 degrees forward as opposed to perpendicular things begin to click more sustainable and powerful. Can this be achieved at the beginning of a voyage? Can it be held onto? Quite possibly.
Update, next morning. Let everything go, James! Let everything go except for the thigh leveraging the gigantic heavy ball forward at constant sustainable momentum of the ball, first of all finding where that point is where the range of force can be mustered to keep it going, and then letting everything go, everything, everything, to gently and firmly maintain that momentum of the ball. Let everything go! Everybody wants to help, the feet, the ankles, the Cavs, the Torso rocking forward and side to side, the head………………….... Let everything go James! Everything but the thigh and that huge ball that is being leveraged by the thighs with the point of contact being the forward underside of the knees.
Ignite soul log may 23. Two giant explosions, and other things.
Quite a beautiful day.
Much time spent with Tolstoy’s Four gospel translation.
What did Tolstoy find? I don't know. I never will for sure. That is, I will not know if he found the teachings of the man Jesus. But certainly he says he did, and he thinks he did.
But I do know he found a teaching that saved his extraordinary being from suicide and ignited his soul for the next 40 years. And it ignited him in a way that he ignited the man Gandhi, who was instrumental in ignited Martin Luther King, and toast toy with some of his writings in directly.
On a different note, awakened James was with a shocking thought smacking him in the face. Holy f***. Jesus has not ignited one in a billion souls. Tolstoy has not ignited one in a billion souls. The dozens of the souls at the lsgiabeing.com site have each not ignited more than one in a billion souls. Entertained? Yes. Ignited emulators? No! The historical record is horribly clear!
James exploded twice today. And a couple more little explosions. Exhausted after part of the journey tonight he took a quick nap at a little pull out off the main road. It was steep getting back on the road and the rear wheel did not gain traction. So it was very very very slow getting out onto the highway. No cars in sight when James started. Very little traffic. As he got onto the road a white car came up at probably 60 mi an hour. Blaring it's Horan. No f****** problem. It could easily if gone around. No traffic. I f****** exploded. Turn stuck my torso out of the vehicle screamed at the vehicle, what? Was this horrible? Of James? Does he feel like a terrible failure? Does he think he did something really awful? No, no, and no. But is he glad he did it? No. What better world is the outcome of that? That is not a different way of being. There's no hoping that. So what he's glad about is that he was aware, he was a body at that instant, not a soul, but he didn't see it coming, and now he has a chance to reflect and prepare for the next time.
James is understanding his opportunity, really the opportunity for all of us, to ignite soul, and to disrupt the status quo of the head and flesh in charge, respectfully, thoughtful E. Disruption is much easier and James is working hard to establish a ratio of his time, the large proportion on ignited, starting with himself, and a small smaller portion on disruption. Having said that, the greatest strategic opportunity James senses right now is to complete the project he began several months ago, creating a clean easily accessible copy of the Tolstoy Four Gospels translation and Harmon is Asian that is on the web in really old hard to access PDFs. Today he listened to the summary text that Tolstoy has throughout his huge Lee technical volumes, and they're extraordinary, those explanatory and summary texts.
Note. Something very significant happens, when after 67 years, this individual James for the first time begins asking himself, who is that, James? Is that your soul? Such things prompt that question as finding himself in a point of frustration, maybe over how things tangle, over some discomfort in his body. And more surprising, but so useful, when he finds himself twirling around in his own brain. Pretty much each time James instantly realizes, I prefer being in my soul. And almost instantly transports there. This is pointed to width the capacity for meditating. But at least for James what he's just outlined here is a dramatic enhancement. Profound.
