A bit of a mystery to me why this notion is being experienced by me as so dramatically helpful, this morning. It is a notion that I have expressed for a long long long time. But it seems to have found its place this morning. Defining who I am here for, the one in a million, and who I am not here for.

Ho Lee fuk Bill, you finally grew some balls. Respect. "“[Tech barons are] believers in some kind of techno fantasy world, where at least they will be able to survive and prosper,” McKibben tells Truthdig Editor in Chief Robert Scheer in the latest installment of “Scheer Intelligence. “And they’re completely caught up in that world, and not paying much attention to [earth’s destruction]—in fact, they’re abetting it. We learn with each passing day more about the ways that, say, Google’s tools are being used by the oil industry to find yet more hydrocarbons that we can’t burn. … What [tech barons] and the Koch brothers don’t want is society—they don’t want the rest of us in their way. They want to do what they want to do.”....

Solar RV cycling log May 10th. A Title Wave of gifts.
Why all these gifts today? Maybe because, maybe, maybe, because the prime objective of today's Voyage is to let the body enjoy it or at least not suffer too much. Question marks
In no particular order.
The sphere at the knees is back, the heavy sphere playing close attention to the inertia.
For many months the left leg has been Rogue. Maybe the problem was not the left leg. It seems the problem was a lazy right leg not aggressively relaxing and putting additional work on the left leg. Sorry left leg! You have been falsely accused and abused.
Yes yes yes, pressure on the balls of the foot 50% of the time. Zero pressure 50% of the time. Half an hour of this and then the sphere at the knees showed up. Strong connection. With both knees in opposition spinning one leg down one leg up, that sphere may result in that 50 on 50 off for each leg each cycle. Pretty sweet.
50 off is not a natural thing for this old body. It wants to Coast on the downward leg. Letting it rise the upward leg. What that does is use less muscles and tire out the primary thrust muscles.
Yesterday James realized that he was losing sight of the mission which is to get exercise not to achieve Olympic performance. And to get that exercise in a way that keeps the Mind free. So the emphasis again today was get the exercise James and do not upset the body! Do not ignore when it tells you it is in pain. Back off, re-strategize, see if there's some way you can exert Force but make the body happy! Or at least not to upset!
That sphere at the knees when it works provides a tremendous coordination synchronization and sense of cycling which is very nice, sustainable, manageable, until it isn't LOL!
Imagining and operating as though the sphere is 4in to the right seems advantageous for now solving multiple problems including the lazy right leg and its tendency to wobble in and out on the upswing. No disadvantage to this silly imagining yet seen.
Now another old friend shows up! A nearly magical equilibrium in this sphere if it is raised about 4 inches higher than expected an equilibrium between the knees and and thighs is looked for. When it is found or as it is found weight seems to come out from the outside of both foot pads and be more in the inner part of the pad. The image of a seal balancing a rotating ball on her nose just came to mind. This higher place for the sphere is also happening at a higher rotation on a lesser climb.
Earlier in this journey tonight and maybe to come again was a particular advantage that seem to come by accentuating the rotation of the sphere with the upward trust particularly and additional fluid upthrust at the end.
A key thing that this imagery is probably doing is arriving at a more positive 50% on 50% off, a more optimum 50% on 50% off than has been achieved in other ways. So the actual mechanic are in 50% on 50% off pressure on the pedals each cycle. And that off has probably been rarely seen this last half year or more.
Incidently, the cycling shoes are laced normally and with all of the above the feet are perfectly happy.
This notion of the seal with the ball on its nose or a circus performer on her back rolling, spinning, her partner with her feet in the air is now quite helpful on a moderate climb. The sphere now resting on my knees in my imagination and being rolled with care to the maintenance of inertia and speed of the sphere at the tip of my knees. With each knee one traveling up one traveling down maintaining that rotation and momentum.
And this at the end really really big. For the first time in memory a strong Trust in one leg at a time being able to move this huge vehicle. The body I think has been fearful of this and in a way trying to always keep both legs applying pressure. This probably is not necessary and may contribute substantially to the non power leg robbing energy by allowing itself to be pushed by the power leg. This will be an important point of experimentation in the coming days I hope. This was enabled and complimented by the clarity today so unusual of one leg on, one leg off, pressure on one foot ball and none on the other.
Ignite soul log May 10. Soul as compassionate leader of flesh and head. Operator. Supervisor.
Day 3 since the Holy Grail post. Not entirely a game changer, maybe. Maybe it is. A leader, my stock in trade and joy in industry required intimate solidarity with those in the organization.
Long James has spoken of the soul in charge as opposed to the head and flesh in charge. In charge is not what the soul does. It is pretty much what the flesh and head do regarding the soul.
Although James has never had higher output, higher delivery of energy, than that freshman year in college, it was never so effortless to live. It was a sense of zero drag, zero friction. This day 3 James retains fromsome confidence that through unconscious competentence James at that time stumbled upon what he is re entering now, the soul as leader, compassionate leader. Without that firmly in place even the empowered soul is dragged back and out of itself, diluted, weekend, confused, by a readiness to identify with a body, the pleasure of the body, the pleasure of the cortex, the pain of the body, psychological pain. Awareness of these by the soul in leadership is necessary to compassionate Lee manage a high output of goodness from the beeing. And it wants nothing other than this tangible constant awareness. But without the full freedom that comes from observing rather than enmeshing with, its ability to serve head and flesh and wider entities is severely curtailed. Massive amounts of time and energy diverted wasted confused.
A tedious but important upgrade of the LSGIA being site was almost completed, re sorting according to the work of last week the beings by their intensity or lack thereof.

Solar RV cycling log May 9. Are there just many good ways?
Maybe there are just many good ways for James.
But he will take the risk of saying that even they difficult short Voyage tonight indicates that indeed the ball of the feet on the pedals has a crucial role to play. They are invaluable sensors at the variance Beast.
The strategy tonight that showed some promise was that the objective is to keep substantial pressure on the bottom of the feet on the pedals ultimately for the forward conceptual 50% of the cycle. In a funny way the kneading that a cat can do comes to mind. I just remembered that this is an old old friend. It can bring terrible complications but it seems to be necessary. At least tonight it set up a very useful alternating such that the forward leg applied the pressure and it was clear that the non downward leg should be applying no pressure. The non-primary leg can get lazy and rest on the pedal robbing energy from getting to the vehicle.
At least tonight the solved a lot of problems, the tendency of the body to jerk or Force various parts of the cycle. The body to let the Contours of the road or the motor dictate the Cadence. Pressure on the ball of the feet means that there is some tension in the feet and ankles and these can act as shock absorbers smoothing these things out and sparing the thighs from all of the adjustment.
A recent friend was helpful tonight as well, remembering that the body is primary and that the mechanics of the vehicle and the pedeling are secondary. Body is too willing to try and adjust to the cycle and taking care of the body needs, the biomechanics of the body, can make things much less frustrating and more comfortable and ultimately more powerful and sustainable.
Oh, and a fabulous friend of about 9 months ago showed up again today. At least a close cousin. The notion seemingly magical nine months ago of extracting energy from the ground beneath the vehicle with the uprising leg! It made no sense. It produced wonderful sustainable performance for many weeks and then could not be rediscovered. But it wasn't Magic. By emphasizing the full smooth upward rise of the leg it helps sustain pressure on the ball of the foot on the pedal going forward all the way through the cycle.. Conscious competence. It will be interesting to see whether this friend stays around for a while now.
Yes, James has not been producing Netflix recently. The changes are so radical that he's trying to come to grips with how to stabilize things and use metrics more productively going forward.

Ignite soul log May 9. Our inner ape, extremely useful read.
It is almost as if in the first third of the book dewaal put forth the harsh aspects of his primary primate studies. Now we're into such subjects as empathy and my stress level is going down.
I need to continue to build my life on the truth even truths I don't like to see. So it was rough going the first third of the book but it is a little easier going now.
The report of several days ago, James rediscovering the Holy Grail, there are positive signs this may be the case. It seems so natural to him to identify with his body, but the freshman year in college, and now when the choice is brought to mind, to transcend the body and to see it as a wonderful tool but not to identify with it. More important experimenting ahead on this.
