Rescuing soul from joylessness log, March 18th. Productive, important, non-strategic day.
Yesterday was a relatively easy day because everything was clicking in place. The vision was really maturing, ideas were coming together. Possibly a bit of a manic High?
But not just a manic High, things are building, focus is increasing, accountability is increasing, the vision is maturing with so much work and study.
Work continued to attempt to support one of the more important Souls that has been in Mortal Danger of being crushed by our cruel Society. I don't know if I'm helping. I know that I care. And probably I'm being of a little bit of help. So a fair amount of today was spent on that communication.
The season at this magical sacred Mount Whitney area is changing, the tourist traffic is beginning to increase soon dramatically. So instead of an empty Park where the little pennies I can spend in town make a difference, I could quickly turn into an unwanted homeless guy. Several days ago I expressed a concern that I was feeling a bit of a chill. An encounter with a very key individual to that feeling, today, was quite a flow of warm air. If I need to leave tomorrow it is no tragedy. It would be best for the work if this sacred Rich conducive area can remain our base of operations until the fall at least. And today's encounter suggest to me that that is quite possible to be comfortable for all. Time will tell.
But additional venues for discreet parking at night are a good idea, probably necessary, so some of today was spent scouting out such things. And frustratingly time will be spent in the coming week or so scouting out areas. But it's all part of the process of keeping a base of operations underneath this Mission.
Another operations issue enabled by Sol, this miraculous platform, is to fortify Sol in several regards if possible. On the trailer wheels and the rear wheel of this vehicle there's just too much weight, too much stress. It is manageable and if things can't be stabilized further we will be okay. But exploration of some possible upgrades is taking time. Feelers have been put out and some feedback come in on the idea of going to a much fatter rear wheel with much more tread and it would also provide more cushioning to the vehicle. It would require a new rim and quite a bit of Labor to rebuild the wheel but I could probably do that and it wouldn't be terribly expensive. And the next grade of spokes, increase thickness, which is the greatest thickness available, would be put on at that time. Probably as of tonight it's about fifty-fifty that that will be done in the next two or three weeks, or finally put aside as an idea. Similarly exploration is occurring to see if thicker spokes can go on the rear trailer wheels. That will probably be determined tomorrow. And again would require me or maybe someone in the town 60 miles north of here, Bishop, to rebuild those Wheels. Tedious, distracting from the research and study Central to the mission but necessary.
Much time and attention now is going to trying to process the flood of ideas, improved Vision, improved understanding that came in a bit of a nice Crescendo with in recent days. The idea of replacing all of the technology-oriented graphics on the rear of the vehicle has taken root but trying to massage in terms of what the basic color should be, it could be black but I think that's too overbearing, I'm leaning toward a gray, or maybe a muted green, and the verbage which I suspect will be the new logo on the shirt and uniform which I've shared, and also the words rescuing soul from joylessness. But that's an important decision, this will be two or three hundred dollars worth of signage, and I need some time to think it through.
" I too used to think the technology important," I replied to the to Enquirer. They played Lee walked away, But with something to Ponder.....
In yesterday's, Free Soul, log, it was shared that the signage on the back of the vehicle is going to be replaced with messages such as are at the upper left of this blog. It has been a long time, more than a year that it has been clear that this technology of Sol is nothing more than a bad distraction from the only issue that matters, freeing the occasional soul. Freeing it from the tyranny of head and flesh.
Although that will take a few weeks to design and another few weeks to execute the notion already made my reply more potentially beneficial to those two Enquirers. Will it prick their soul, my reply? It could, and the reply I would have given them yesterday or the day before would not have had that potential. All hope depends upon freeing the soul of the tyranny of head and Head & flesh.

March 17th solar RV cycling log. Where the eyes are focused makes a big difference.
Over the years it has come to me at times that where are the eyes are focused makes a big difference. each time it has come to me it was that focusing way down the road was really helpful. No question that it was. But few if any of those times were in constant climbing. It turns out that where the eyes are focused is enormous Lee helpful in climbing, but not way down the road, inches in front of the vehicle!. Yes, this never occurred to me. But now I can reflect on various ways the body has tried to achieve this without my knowledge. But having it in conscience competence now is really in powering.
Other than that all lessons of the last 7 days or so continue to prove themselves correct. Having said that, who knows how much of that is now automatic, but what is conscience today is staying entirely within the engine compartment, all focus, and by focusing the eyes only inches in front of the vehicle further placing attention simply on achieving sustainable strong power each stroke. Very freeing of the mind. Very non frustrating. Very nice. Very sustainable.
More on this. If one is running a sprint there gaze maybe way down the track. if one is running up an extremely steep mountainside there are gaze maybe a foot or so in front. Obviously, correct? LOL. Well, not obvious to James for the last 5 months of climbing every other day. Not obvious to James three and a half for 4 years now in to extensive cycling. But obvious today. Better late than never?
above discussed was that looking just inches in front of the vehicle, well, just immediately over the dashboard which is probably 5 ft in front, not ideal, is extremely helpful. As helpful or more is understanding that the pedal stroke in steep grade is targeted just inches ahead of the pivot point in the road. Biting off just a little bit of climb. At faster speed the target would be a foot or two feet or 3 ft or 5 ft ahead. Very logical. Has been on obvious to change. Now he is seeing it and very very appreciative that he is.
Also helpful at times today and then forgotten and then remembered, is to attempt a mix of power with every stroke. What is automatic so far is asking too much of the downward stroke and nothing of the upward stroke and possibly even asking the downward stroke to lift the up going leg. Almost certainly it is desirable those times when he is remembered to have a mix of power every stroke most of it on the down stretching leg but always some of it on the uprising leg a mixture. The nervous system so far finds this a very natural thought to respond to but it quickly forgets unless it is kept in mind.
And now, even more! Building on the above, now the long past, weeks, emphasis on a feeling of cycling, is back in play. Who knew?!!! Why? How? In climbing, with this notion of accepting that each stroke can advance the vehicle only inches it is making it reasonable and possible to add the notion of a cycling feeling. It happens quite easily when the thought is brought to mind and the power increases substantial Lee, maybe from a hundred human What's 4 hour, to 120, or 150.
Rescuing Souls from joyless slavery, March 17th. Extremely important log. Thoughtful pondering and comments most welcome.
I wonder, Jesus it is said spoke essentially about the Son of God, the only Son of God. In my mind and experience it is impossible that he was referring to himself. Just not possible. Totally inconsistent with all his life and teaching.
But was he speaking of the soul, the limbic system, part of all of us? If he spoke essentially of the Son of Man, the only Son of God, this would have been what he was speaking of, the soul, mammalian brain, in all of us, dead, or effectively dead and imprison, by the head and flesh.
Listening to Karen Armstrong yesterday, a very important thought was born within me. Thanks Karen. Why does every mammal mother, and many mammal fathers, forgo sex, food, their own comfort, their own safety at cetera? Only one answer is possible. They find more gratifying still, then those things very pleasurable things, the joy of attempting to provide for their loved one. And this is what the limbic system, the mammalian brain, the soul, does, unless it has been hijacked by a partnership of the cerebral cortex and Reptilian Brain, hypothalamus.
How can it be that no one wants to join alongside me in the work that has me in its possession? How can it be that at pain of my life it is irresistible to me this work, and entirely resistible to everyone else?
It was Karen Armstrong I think, maybe Parker and Brock, that taught me that it was only in the 1901 Bible translation that central became believing in Jesus, instead of believing the faith of Jesus in God, Creator, Soul, Heart. Now I am exploring the earlier gospel translations, King James 1611, and the translations of the original Greek texts, especially by Tolstoy but others as well. Attempting to get closer to what Jesus actually said.
Not academic is my interest in anything. Not anymore. My interest is in Soul, rejuvenating it, resurrection, revivalizing, redeeming, human soul, releasing human soul from slavery to head and flesh internal and external. How can everyone stand to not join with me in this exact work?
And if they have good reason, how can everyone stand not to tell me the error of my work?
LOL, so amusing how long things take me sometimes. This particular vehicle technology being no more than a horrible constant distraction from the only worthwhile work, rescuing the individual soul that is dying to be rescued from tyranny of head and flesh. As it is the attention it draws from folks to technology, such a horrible distraction. Only today did I realize that erasing the signage currently on the rear part of Sol, replacing it with messaging regarding rescuing soul from head and flesh, is a high priority now. In coming days signage mockup will be created and shared with a hopes that some may give me reactions and ideas for moving toward implementation within the next couple of weeks.
Goodness why have I been given this vision that the key to unlocking individual rescue of soul is that soul in charge of head and flesh is the only gateway to joy, paradise, nirvana? If I am not mistaken it is the key that all the sages have been looking for but almost found.
I experience it as an extraordinary responsibility. Keeper of this thing that I did not ask for. What happens if I am wiped out tomorrow morning? Days from now? Weeks from now? Months or now? No one cares what I do. No one cares what I'm doing. But that's not my responsibility. My responsibility is to do the best I can with what I'm given. Currently that is placing renewed emphasis on these log in entrees, what if I'm wiped out tomorrow morning but I have left notes in these logs, my blogs, Facebook? Surely that is some exercise of my responsibility, my duty.
Tragically in the last 20 years I've forgotten more about leadership of the soul by a factor of 1000 then I can now remember. That was my stock in trade for working miracles in organizations within high-tech industry. But maybe I can brush off small bits and bring them to bear now.
My love and frustration with the work of Karen Armstrong who i listened to most of yesterday, produced benefit yesterday. The soul, limbic system, mamalian brain, heart, is put to sleep, further enslaved to, by appealing to the cerebral cortex or hypothalamus which is what the best intended do, well intended scholars, religious folks, as documented in Brock, Parker, and even Karen Armstrong. As well intended is it maybe, and it has a place, it is novocaine, anesthesia, to the soul, unless the soul has first been ignited. James, what are you going to do with this? There was a 25 year period in industry where that question, how are you going to ignite their hearts James, was constantly put to me by the situation and answers developed. Those skills and abilities need to be resurrection and brought to bear on all this.
Regarding this last point clueless almost I am but not entirely. The road to the soul is through the eyes not the ears, vision, not analysis, example, not dogma and text..... Be the change. Example it's not the major thing, it is the only thing.
Just now reading John, from the Greek translation, I think. John has always been suspect to me. The Jesus seminar Scholars say that only two of all the phrases in John are true to Jesus and probably spoken by him. On the other hand, Tolstoy, the creator of Gandhi, and somewhat of King, found John very true to the man Jesus from the original Greek texts. Tonight, again, My alarms were going off with John, seemingly so dogmatic. But surprising to me, I also found that his language interpreted a different way, than I had been interpreting it, and I think as Tolstoy does interpret it, was very much in keeping with the soul of the man Jesus and what he taught and lived. the Son of God, if the Son of God is the soul born in all of us, if he means that, and it is, then John’s writing is very valuable. And as I recall now from many years ago, this is how Tolstoy interpreted it.
But something else hit me about John and more particularly what we're sure Jesus did write. Often he spoke in Parables. Why? Answer. In an attempt to bypass the cerebral cortex and activate the mammalian brain, the limbic system, the soul.
PS. The photograph at the top. Unretouched as are virtually all of the photographs from me. I'm interested in what creation has to say, not me. This place is so magical. On Tatooine (that planet where Yoda was?) was that place of extraordinary evil, the cave, where Darth was seen. This Whitney portal, the base of Mount Whitney, is sort of the opposite. How does the sun set exactly over Mount Whitney? How does the moon set exactly over Mount Whitney? It is an extraordinary place of Creator, whatever Creator is.
Rejuvenating Souls, returning them to charge of head and flesh, is the only business we have as human creatures. Everything else is consequence. Of success, or failure.
Rejuvenating Souls, returning them to charge of head and flesh, is the only business we have as human creatures. Everything else is consequence. Of success, or failure. Revitalizing? Re-establishing? Resurrecting? Empowering? Re-establishing ? Rehabilitating? Reawakening? Re enlivening? Reinstalling? Releasing? Resurrecting? Releasing? 3in Froning? Or something else? Putting them in charge, maybe charging? But putting them in charge of hadn't flash where they belong to be is what I would like to capture in a word. If you have any thoughts you would like to share I'd be glad.
