So far this is not what I expected.
Jesus was wrong. But he was so incredibly productive of good. So hard to understand.
The man Jesus believed that there was a sky father that, when enough people, pleased him with their behavior, he would come down and impose a good righteous order. Further, Jesus would be the Earthly ruler, and the 12 apostles would be those directly under him.
Obviously all of that is nonsense, in hindsight. Tho given the thinking of his age and prior ages it was not unreasonable. But it was incorrect.
But what he got right was that God, the force of loving creation, could be pleased by only one thing, everyone acting as though they had one father, always watching, loving but administrating consequences, that could be pleased by only one thing, everyone behaving as though everyone else was their immediate beloved family member, with God watching every breath. Everyone on their best behavior always from the soul for the joy of it.
And the most admirable enviable Souls throughout history have reacted to that I have reacted to that kernel that Jesus got right. Bonhoeffer, Tolstoy, Martin Luther King Junior, Gandhi, Schweitzer.....
Just imagine for a moment that anyone in Jesus day, any 10 people in Jesus day, had gotten the core, embraced it with all their might like we all Embrace avoiding physical death, or material poverty, imagine we had dedicated ourselves to that even a small handful, where we might be in 2020. Imagine a small handful had done so five hundred years ago, a hundred years ago.
imagine what difference you might make in someone's life Joy today, or 500 years from now, if you embrace it, no excuses, none of our usual, oh it's not human nature bulshit, embraced it with all of your life. Imagine the quality of life impact you might have on someone or some a small group 500 years from now.
Let's get on with it.

The Sheltering in place in Asheville North Carolina for now.
My friend from high school Phyllis and new friend Alan have warmly welcomed me into their home and feel that they are glad to have me stay as long as is necessary. An incredible blessing. Another act by the sponsors in Hunger Games? This is the only friend that months ago when this journey began said that they were hoping to see me on my way through. It is total coincidence that I am here at this time. Sponsors from Hunger Games?

Well, James just successfully relaced his real rear-wheel.
James, did you find a home in Asheville?
Until middle of next week John. I'm just unclear so far in Discerning what I should do after that. If there were a lot less old white folks the country the world would be much better off. Objectively. That speaks to me resuming travel, at least a little bit. But the capitalist class is in pain over this which means this is hurting the capitalist structure. And that's a miraculous thing. That speaks to me trying to shelter in place someplace. But where?

With friends in Asheville North Carolina until spokes arrive mid next week. Then heading north toward Maine 30 days away. the.... time between now and when the spokes arrive hopefully from San Jose California will be spent on big and small projects fortifying Sol the wonderful vehicle. Including a trial run hopefully to complete tomorrow on testing my ability to totally rebuild a wheel. And a long punch list of other items.
Not that it matters but this is I think the 4th night since departing California last July that James is inside . Interesting. These folks here an Asheville are so kind to me. It's very nice to be with Them although I am as much fun as a root canal, keeping my focus on what I can do to help the world which doesn't help them very much.
Didn't get much sleep last night because every little sinus drip or Body impulse made me wonder if I had dragged the virus in here to these folk. I suspect a lot of people are having such hypochondria. I don't much find myself minding the idea of getting the virus regardless of the consequences to me but giving it to these folks, I'd rather die.

Cycling. Four years of failure? Trying to solve the wrong problem almost all this time?
That's how it seems. And my concern is anyone that I have led down the wrong path. I've had it all wrong I think. almost certain.
Maybe in some cycling one gages off of how the powae 1 Provides moves the object to be moved. In this case Sol obviously. so when a motion of the body creates a clear forward movement that is to be repeated, correct? It just doesn't work with saul and James. And for almost 3 years with one or maybe 2 exceptions that is what James has been trying to do, the problem he has been trying to solve, How to launch saul forward with his help
Iowa may have been exception
The Times out of grand Junction Colorado may have been an exception. There was a time going South in Oregon or Washington when pumping energy out of the ground concept. Perenium eggbeater….
These just mentioned may have been and probably were exceptions to a degree What the intuitive Desire of the body to figure out how to launch sol forward and to minimize exertion have been the dominant.
Yesterday an impossibly long difficult ride on top of several prior After an hour or so something different took place . Don't try to launch forward James in fact savor every delay as an additional instant where you can inject energy into the ride, not the movement, into the journey. It caused a change in orientation, Rather than the body trying to launch energy forward it intuitively moved to the direction Downward. It just happened. from maybe 70ﾟ forward to 45ﾟ Down.
A complementary Notion had occurred prior then that was a notion of different gear levels for James' body but not gears but felt level of Energy contribution tactile at the knees. And radiation such as 05/10/15 20 pounds have been discussed.
Wow, guess who's back. The emphasis on the up rising leg. But different. Attempting to maintain a felt 0.1 pound of pressure against the top every centimeter of travel along the road. The lower leg takes care of itself.
Savoring weightlessness of the upper leg. 100% of the time. lower leg delivering that weightlessness.
Saver continuous weightlessness 100 of the of the time, an uprising leg seems to be an ideal timing and synchronization device. At least for the last 45 minutes everything else takes care of itself.
I'm torn as what to do. Do I continue my mission living solidarity with the other homeless? Do I shelter and protect my tiny monthly income that I share with the needy? Is there any place I can shelter?
