Facebook, you can't speak the truth about Israel or they will shut you down. ' if you want to know who's in control, look to see who cannot be criticized.'

I suppose folks on Facebook often just find Idol entertainment in what I post there anyway. I'll continue to do my posting here on this site. I work to stimulate for a better world, not entertainment.

The mission resumes...

 

The photo archive is now up to date, first time since the fire.

Sol Reicarnated, what Khanh, Creator, hath wrought.

"Never manage anything you don't love." An anonymous quote I saw decades ago in a cubicle in a large high-tech Corporation where I was working. If Khanh Dam didn't love this project, then I have no clue what was going on here. If he didn't have some love for this mission, then I have no clue what's going on here, and it's entirely possible that I don't have a clue what's going on here, but maybe I do.

I was ready to roll on weeks ago. Khanh wouldn't have it. It wasn't right yet. It wasn't what he wanted it to be yet. Maybe it's not what he wanted the mission to have yet. It's still isn't, another day or so, but oh my goodness what loving brilliant Relentless creation.

And I know I, and I think we both, wanted to do our part of helping people see, better than they might already, the possibilities of extremely sustainable, relatively low cost of build, replicable, prototype, of a way of moving, of being, and in James Case, of living as this is his 365 day, near all terrain, all but the most extreme climates, home, again. We're now starting toward our mile 37000  approximately.  One and a half times around the earth so far, as  Justin, the founder and  CEO and chief technologist at grin Technologies in Vancouver told me not long ago. And such an example was the original Sol, created by Rex Litwiller, not to forget the founding role of Rob Cotter with his Visionary, inspirational, World informing elf.

Christianity and the social crisis, rauschenbusch

 

.... Six decades after the

book’s original release, Martin Luther King Jr. would write, “In

the early 50’s I read Walter Rauschenbusch’s Christianity and

the Social Crisis, a book which left an indelible imprint on my

thinking.” ​I am Walter Raus...

.... The belief in a future life and

future reward and punishment was almost absent in Hebrew religion.

To live to an honored old age, to see his children and children’s

children, to enjoy the fruit of his labor in peace under his own

vine and fig tree—that ​was all the heaven to which the pious Israelite

looked for.....

.... As long as

the people were falsely optimistic, the prophets persisted in

destroying their illusions. When the people were despairing, the...

.... Beyond

the question of economic distribution lies the question of moral

relations; and beyond the moral relations to men lies the question

of the religious communion with that spiritual reality in which we

live and move and have our deepest being—with God, the Father of

our spirits. Jesus had realized the life of God in the soul of man

and the life of man in the love of God. That was the real secret of

his life, the well-spring of his purity, his compassion, his

unwearied courage, his unquenchable idealism: he knew the Father.

But if he had that greatest of all possessions, the real key to the

secret of life, it was his highest social duty to share it and help

​others

to gain what he had. He had to teach men to live as children in the

presence of their Father, and no longer as slaves cringing before a

despot. He had to show them that the ordinary life of selfishness

and hate and anxiety and chafing ambition and covetousness is no

life at all, and that they must enter into a new world of love and

solidarity and inward contentment. There was no service that he

could render to men which would equal that. All other help lay in

concentric circles about that redemption of the spirit and flowed

out from it....

.... Jesus had realized the life of God in the soul of man

and the life of man in the love of God. That was the real secret of

his life, the well-spring of his purity, his compassion, his

unwearied courage, his unquenchable idealism: he knew the Father.

But if he had that greatest of all possessions,

The tiniest remotely possible cultivation of soul is our only work for joy.

 It seems that every year is trying to teach me this and I learned a little bit more each time with my failure to do otherwise, but my goodness it's slow.

My current dashboard to help me develop myself and maintain focus in the work.

The Myriad pitfalls in finding, establishing, true community.

* Ignoring dead balls, silence where the passionate recognition response needs to be.
* Confusing intellect excitement for soul excitement.
* Ignoring passionate action for words, our passions are seen in actions not words.
* Overlooking history of action.
* Thinking material change would release soul.
* Imagining that personal, ego interests, are finite as opposed to infinite.

* Oblivious to the absence of dying for true Community, dying for the world.

* Projection, projection, projection.... Projecting one's values on to the other clouding the truth.

* Passion for the external, the material, not the internal. Looking for answers accordingly. Building accordingly.

* Absence of, resistance to, Global all inclusive mission.

* Non deep envy of lsgiabeing.com

* Dying for Joy.

* Attachment to this world, or any of its contents.

The most important book James has ever read oh, maybe the most important book ever written.

 

36000 miles James has been cycling an impossible vehicle.

 No discredit to Saul and maybe notice credit to James.

Imagine a conventional racing bicycle two wheels and everything is normal except for one thing. Instead of the seat being on a rigid bracket with no movement instead it is on a relatively fluid ball joint such that unless at every moment of the cycle the body's muscles are used to create what they fixed seat was able to create by way of stability oh, well, that's where James has been. But his wounded left leg forced him to find something different and no credit to him he found it today

Some time ago maybe Colorado or into Utah the notion of the pretty mm fighting such a planted position that it seemed that it was on a bicycle seat was helpful but not sufficiently helpful and after

Our society views physical abuse as a crime much more readily then psychological abuse. For James it's the reverse.

At least that's how my nervous system has always worked. I can take pain physically much more readily than I can take psychological pain.

I can think of so many times but at the moment an event in front of the White House, there was a recognized member of the activist Club, my disrespectful name for the Cadre, late at night, standing 6 in away from a secret service agent on duty, berating, screaming at this individual in their face.

I have a zero tolerance for abuse, of me, and more importantly of anyone else. 

10 years ago, Within moments I was across the wide Street putting myself in between the secret service agent and facing

James preliminary Vision (WkInProg): Joy is at the convergence of these things, for the individual, for the community. Nowhere else to be found.

This document is a preliminary distillation, a 15% complete outline, of what James has applied throughout his adulthood in every community building Venture he's been involved in, and in building himself as best he can, to help others do the same. For the joy of it.

It is crazy. It is insane. James understands it to be exactly equivalent to what the lives of the individuals here speak of themselves, Lsgiabeing.com, and what some have spoken explicitly, like the man Jesus, if you would hold on to your life, you will lose it, if you would lose it for the sake of the neediest among you, you will gain it... Heaven... Joy.

If and when James fleshes this out in more detail there may be half a

What Jesus actually said, according to the scholars.

Thousands of hours it took James over the course of years to distill out this list of the roughly 200 or 250 sayings that Jesus probably spoke according to the world's greatest Scholars on the subject, particularly the Jesus seminar. Tedious work, nothing clever here. The simply pulling out of various books, especially the five gospels by the Jesus seminar, the sayings that he probably said. Roughly a third of all of the sayings were not likely said by Jesus but are c

onsistent with him suggesting that there were followers that sort of understood what he had to say. And the remaining third are by those that either through malice or foolishness attributed to him things that he never said and never would have said, quite the opposite.

Supreme Joy of building people, Souls, Beyond everything else. Not to be confused with building head and flesh. Community of Souls.

25 or so years of my adulthood was indulging my lust for building stuff, I I thought recently of those dozens of plants in my apartment, I didn't recall until now of the aquarium, LOL, software systems, hardware systems, algorithms, acoustic devices, businesses, Networks, new products... that was 50% of my time, the other 50% was building people and communities. They were created simultaneously. Communities of people.

Update, day number 16 in the household

This is day number 16 inside the household that James and Sol traveled 1100 miles, 33 days through the early winter cold, to arrive at to see if they could be of some help. Why? James some bleeding heart. Help anybody? If he ever was, he's not now. Triage. He sees barely a soul with enough life to be helped. It's horrible, it's tragedy, but that's how he sees it. But the parent in this household, incredibly wounded he thinks from lifelong series of abusers, and some self-inflicted wounds, is

The enviable folks, to me, their quality of life depends on nothing external.

 

I don't remember the following ever so crystallizing in my mind though in a hazier form it has been there. By way of Preamble, I suppose I have always thought, and maybe I heard it from my parents, probably my dad, and I think it's a platitude in society, if your house burns down but you're all safe you've lost little or nothing. In some form that Doctrine has always been in my mind, and my soul. But only sometime today did it come clear to me, and I might be wrong, but it came clear to me that all of the people I admire oh, and more importantly all those that I envied throughout history, that was clearly correct to my eyes. Oh, I'm Sophie Scholls, a teenager that was fighting the Nazi Uprising. You're going to kill me? Okay. It's a shame it's a nice day but it's time to go I guess, in the moments before her execution. And so it is with all of them. Do anything to their material environment and it does nothing to their quality of life. LSGIABeing.com 

Parenting: do I have the right to deny my child life, in favor of survival?

With my biological Offspring so many decades ago, the best I knew was to try and provide both, and there was much limitation in my circumstances, and I chose to have it constrain what I otherwise might have done. I tried to do both, offer them life, and survival in The Wider culture.

But James has not selected that as the optimal course for himself. Quite radically no. He has chosen to devote almost

Parenting. Is it right to devote so much to ones dependents?

Ever since the birth of my first biological I struggled with oh, well, the double standards idea. James, if it's right for your biological, why isn't it right for everyone? And the issue of devoting all my time to my Biologicals and not to others. I've made progress toward that over the years, but with significant progress last night or this morning. Something that had not clicked together in trying to see this whole picture. James, in at least Western culture, with your biological, of course you have a responsibility, and there's proximity, but there's something else that James just caught a glimpse of these last 12 hours or so. There is a legal right, a permission, by the culture, to intervene in the life of another if it is legally your child, that is not allowed in any other relationship. Room for creativity and contribution that is artificially inhibited, limited, prevented by our culture in every other relationship. Ants are much more extreme opportunity to influence another Soul than is available in any other relationship.
