The new best rides ever. The cornerstone? Constant velocity roiling in the knees felt.

*****
James carrying self Plus 370 lb, 30 miles, 8 miles an hour.

2 days ago, yesterday was A-day of rest, and again today, best rides ever on top of weeks of really good rides. 

New direction? No, continual evolution affirming the last week or so, 3 weeks or so, and standing on those shoulders. 

 There is a convergence of ideas bringing everything to bear or so. Felt circularity roiling at the knees constant velocity. It is difficult to not have the f

This childhood prayer Maybe profoundly instrumental in those things about myself that I like. Completely forgotten until just this day.

And every night from as early as I can remember on my knees it would end, God bless..... All of the people I knew and I had heard about who were suffering name after name after name....

Patriotism can't be both: Uphold the Constitution even with your life; Support the machine no matter what the atrocities.


Organizations are inherently evil. Why? They are for power, and power corrupts. People organized is different


A final chance for the species? If Trump can set the entire world against America it could be.


Changing the game for me, this is: "Joy asks: Serving the Poorest Souls in Solidarity you are, how?"


James, WTF? It has been written all over you for how long oh, half a year, a year? 20 years? Yes. But only yesterday did it form in a question paralleling dr. King's question which said life's most persistent question is what are you doing to help others? And his wonderful sentence doesn't do it for me but the above Has Lifted every aspect of my game. Time will tell if it persists. But every instance it's puts me where I need to be or at least much closer than anything else was. Every situation I can quickly call that question to mind and it immediately is informing whether it is when I wake up in the morning, when I find my mind wandering, when I feeling head or flesh trying to assert itself, when I have an encounter with a annoying individual, whatever. Game changer.

It is not instead of the 30 or so characteristics that at least once a day James is attempting to knit into his DNA, or rather, bring into prominence from his DNA because they are there already. They are the key aspects of the Soul.

But James has been hoping that he would find one of them in some form that would lift most or all of the others and this is doing that.

Sorokin. Supraconscious / Soul /Mamalian brain... “ What, you ask, is my method in writing and elaborating my large and lumbering things? ” writes Mozart. “ I can, in fact, say nothing more about it than this: I do not know myself and can never find out. When I am in a particularly good condition . . . then the thoughts come to me in a rush, and best of all. Whence and how, I do not know and cannot learn.” Further on he describes how “ the crumbs ” spontaneously combine with one another until they assume a finished form in his head. “ All the finding and making goes on in me as in a vivid dream.” Finally, he starts to write and since it is ready in his mind “ it goes pretty quickly on to paper.”...

.... Tchaikovsky... "Perhaps such moments are responsible, in the works of the Great Masters, for those places where the organic coherence fails, and where one can trace artificial coherence, seams and patches. But this is unavoidable. If that spiritual condition of the artist called inspiration . . . should continue uninterrupted, the artist could not survive a single day. . . . The strings would snap and the instrument would fly to pieces. One thing, however, is indispensable: the main idea of the piece, together with a general outline of the separate parts, must not be found through searching, but must simply appear as a result of that supernatural, incomprehensible and never-analyzed power called inspiration....

James recommended readings

To the whites that would have others "go back where you came from...," Europe awaits you. After you.


It may take thousands of years to purify humans of hating, war-making. Will we ever start the work?


Now that we have committed a war crime against Iran of course we need to punish them if they retaliate.


It doesn't make you strategic. It makes you a monster. AOC


Joy's question: What are you doing for the neediest souls?


Thanks, Mel. Why I wake early by Mary Oliver.

Hello, sun in my face.
Hello, you who make the morning
and spread it over the fields
and into the faces of the tulips
and the nodding morning glories,
and into the windows of, even, the
miserable and crotchety–
best preacher that ever was,
dear star, that just happens
to be where you are in the universe
to keep us from ever-darkness,
to ease us with warm touching,
to hold us in the great hands of light–
good morning, good morning, good morning.
Watch, now, how I start the day
in happiness, in kindness.

Why I Wake Early

God bless America


A good 20% of the families I see in the South or mixed-race. Every place that I go the employees are mixed black and white. I'm amazed at how interracial things are down here. And they seem very comfortable. I suspect this is what outrages the supremacists.

A good 20% of the families I see in the South are mixed-race. Every place that I go the employees are  black and white seamlessly working together. I'm amazed at how interracial things are down here. And they seem very comfortable. I suspect this is what outrages the supremacists.

Sorokin, Ways Power of Love, the book that could have saved the species, and still might save an individual or group.

Only a notable infusion of the love relationship into this society can save it from its further degeneration into either compulsory totalitarian society or chaotic human flotsam. To sum up.....

Only a notable infusion of the love relationship into this society can save it from its further degeneration into either compulsory totalitarian society or chaotic human flotsam. To sum up.... : the love relationship is not only the supreme form of social relations, but it is an absolute necessity for the harmonious existence and survival of any social group. Without it no good social life is possible. Plato and Aristotle were quite right in their statement that the true friendship or love is the most vital stuff of all true social relationships. Often overlooked, this function of love shows its unique power in social life and in man’s historical process. 8

2020, 3020, 4020..? Fact: More loving unites, heals, around truth. More hating wounds, divides, elevates propaganda.

True, pure, selfless, willing to die unconditional loving. Any other type is gasoline on the Fire.

Another uneventful night at the coast hoped for, Slidell to pick up a package tomorrow expecting two days in Slidell and then the return here to begin slow slow travel back towards Pensacola.


That I'm treating the entire community of my would be torturer, killer, is likely the hugest gift to me these weeks of epiphanies.


Emperor Ashoka. Sorokin, ways and Power of Love.

After his accession to the throne POWER OF CREATIVE LOVE 67 in 273 B . C . Asoka, like his predecessors, spent the first twelve years of his reign in wars of consolidation of his Indian empire. The conquest of the province of Kalinga in 261 B . C . was his last war. From Asoka’s own inscriptions we learn that the horrors and miseries of wars aroused in him a deep remorse, a sense of profoundest shame, and an understanding of the utter futility of war as a means of pacification and of social improvement. As a result, in 261-260 B . C . he was converted into Buddhism, as a lay disciple, and in 259 he entered a Buddhist order as a monk. This date marks the complete transformation of Asoka and of his policies. The successful emperor-warrior changed into a zealous apostle of peace, compassion, love, and good works. He began now to preach, to practice, and to carry on “ the policies of goodness, mercy, liberality, truthfulness, purity, and gentleness,” — especially towards the conquered peoples — and the policies of liberation from “ depravity, violence, cruelty, anger, conceit, and envy.” Specific duties required from his followers and officials were: nonslaughter of animate beings, noninjury to “existing creatures hearkening to father and mother; reverence to teachers; liberality and seemly behavior towards friends, acquaintances, fellow men, and ascetics; compassionate and seemly conduct towards slaves and servants; and “ small expense and small accumulation.” His works of charity consisted in planting the roads with shade trees and orchards, building rest houses and watering sheds, and digging wells; in construction of hospitals and dispensaries (for men and animals), in distribution of medical drugs, in planting medicinal herbs and fruit trees; in outright grants of money and organized relief to the poor, the aged, the helpless, prisoners, the infirm, and needy people generally. His political administration was marked by the complete cessation of wars and establishment of undisturbed peace — internal and external — and by the organization of a special class of high officials (Dharma-Mahamatras) whose duties were concerned solely with the temporal and spiritual welfare of the people. All political officers were to follow Asoka’s example in their personal behavior. They were exhorted to carry on the policy of good will, sympathy, and love to their own people, as well as to the peoples of the bordering territories. The officials thus were missionaries and moral leaders. One of their main functions was to be “ peacemakers ” between all sects, races, parties, and peoples, building their mutual good will and decreasing their enmities. Asoka revised the existing law and judicial administration, making these more just, human, and uniform. He made himself available for the business of the people at any and all times, and so on..... 

Several years ago, in dark despair, I asked future survivors, what do you want of me? Send us LSGIA Beings... become one, inspire others, channel all to us. . This amazed me. I just got the same answer.

If you don't download to protect this great moral library, then who?

It has taken me much of my adulthood to build. It's worth my life to protect. But I am only one. It would be the height of irresponsibility to rule out the possibility that such things will soon be found and destroyed.

For man mutual aid has been the condition of survival of the species. Sorokin, Harvard. Ways and Power of Love


Sorokin: Since the real curative agent in mental disease is love in its various forms, this explains why many eminent apostles of love have been able to cure the mental disorders of iegions of persons, though these altruists did not have any special psychiatric training. Their sublime love and supraconscious wisdom have been an excellent substitute for the “ little or no love ” and the professional training of ordinary psychiatrists. It is true that for a successful cure of especially serious....
