Gospel translation, Tolstoy. "... The source of life, the intelligence of life, was in all the world, and in every living man. But living men, living only..."

These two volumes are very difficult to find and the PDF text quality is very difficult. James is in the process of republishing these Works in a clean and accessible form including the summary that he has already extracted. This may well take until June or July for James to complete. Here. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xNUVLXWLKVH63_VdYfIFhquhLiVP8SQi/view?usp=drivesdk In James View Mastery and dissemination of this work by Tolstoy, that caused the creation of Gandhi and Martin Luther King, and Tolstoy himself, is possibly the most MMASS DD disruptive, and soul igniting thing, that he can do. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cKRdJSNspoARN5ZOQG_xmLeNx7-KcPh0_o52zrj_LGM/edit?usp=drivesdk Please consider doing the same.

The source of life, the intelligence of life, was in all the world, and in every living man. But
living men, living only in so far as they had the true intelligence of life, did not understand that they had been produced and were begotten through the intelligence of life.
They did not understand that the intelligence of life gave them the possibility to become one with it, so that they should live, not in the flesh, but in the intelligence of life. By understanding this, and by their belief in their sonship to intelligence, or the comprehension of life, men were able to have true life. But men did not understand this, and their life in the world was like light in darkness....

... John announced the coming of God into the world. He said that men must be purified in their souls, that they may acknowledge the kingdom of God....

... John announced the coming of God into the world. He said that men must be purified in their souls, that they may acknowledge the kingdom of God.
Jesus, knowing no father by the flesh, and claiming God to be his Father, heard the preaching of John, and meditated within himself as to what is this God, how has he come into the world, and where is he? And having retired into the wilderness, Jesus learned that the life of man is in the spirit, that man lives always in God, that God is always in man, that the kingdom of God has always existed even as it exists now, and that it is only needful that we should acknowledge it; having learned this, Jesus came out of the wilderness and began to preach to men that God always has been, and is now, in the world, and that we must be purified, or reborn, in the spirit, in order to know him.....


... He taught us how God has no need of prayers, sacrifices, or temples, and how we must worship him in spirit and in doing good.....

James, everyone I talk to in town about you, they love you to death! You're a very special person.

What the f***? I totally don't get it. I don't get it.
Towns don't love me. People don't love me, they never have. That's not a complaint. Just a fact.

The only large group I have ever known of that loved me, cared about me, was the workers in a factory of Utah, I spent six months re-engineering their company and getting them their first raise and many many years. They had tears in their eyes when I parted ways.

These words just now from one of the fellows on the road crew that I met about six weeks ago, maybe less, when I ask some fellows about the work they were doing clearing the huge Switchback by the portal. One of their projects was exploding and clearing a 200000 lb Boulder that it come down across the road.

A Hispanic guy. So kind, warm, jovial, enthusiastic. Probably a little younger than me.
Makes my head spin.

Are you warm enough? Do you need a heavier jacket?

I'm sitting here working in this magnificence, gray though it may be and cold. He beeped going up the hill and then stop this truck to give me this bag of Cracker Jack and I gave him a hug. And then he was on his way. I'll stop next time I see you, he said!

Solar RV cycling blog May 21st. Big f****** new pieces in place!

An occasional old friend showed up and this time gained clear conscious recognition. These legs desperately need to know where the end of the stroke is. As one would expect  it is where the physical extent of the pedal arm is. That may be the right answer, it may be the best answer,

The truth doesn't much care what you think, or I. It has the final say. That's why Gandhi called it God.

Selfishly, suicide? Part of a longer dialogue James had with a good soul today.

selfishly, suicide?  Sounds great to me. But I guess, not really.  Not until I feel that I  can no longer substantially work toward helping Maybe One in a Million .  My joy, my soul, is just too greedy for the joy of the attempt. But then?  I'm out of here. And this is really really really really really surprising and important to me. My take from my upbringing was that the externally, extrinsically, gratified life was the life worth having.  The life that pleases the body and mind. I have learned that the exact opposite is true.  That the only life worth having is the intrinsically gratified one, from trying to be good in the world.  And all the people that I admire in history, that small handful,  LSGIABeing.com, that is what I understand about their life.  Built on intrinsic gratification, the joy of trying to make things better, whether they understood it that way or not.

I can think of an infinity of things humans can build that are unsustainable. And only one that is sustainable. Your thoights?

Ignite Soul log May 19th. Practice as soul is promising.

The notion of Detachment, Buddhist I think in origin, is something that I dislike. Not an idea that I am fond of ever. But some form of it is what I'm experiencing, a superior form I believe.

With practice my awareness of when I am being my body, or enmeshed with discomforts or unhappiness or pleasures of the body, with practice that awareness is becoming more reflexive, rapid, frequent. And that allows me to make a choice. James, is this what you want to be right now? Always the answer is no. It's a very glad answer. Very glad is James to have the choice. And each time so far he has been able to easily make the choice and step back into his soul, lovingly aware of the calls of the body but choosing for the joy of it to be inhabiting his soul as supervisor. Each time that is who and what James wants to be. Surprised he will be if he ever finds that he wants to be something else.

Not infrequently when these choices arise James is fleetingly aware that this could be practice for someday in a trump prison where prolonged torture might be a possibility. Does James expect this? James is aware that it's a possibility. And he is aware, although this is not his reason for making the choice, he is aware that this is practice. Important? Significant? Sufficient? Don't know. But he's glad of it.

I don't know, is it important to understand human beings? Is there anything more important than understanding human beings? I mean, humans are the ones destroying all life and goodness on Earth. And as a human being is there anything we care more about than the one in a million that might be sparked to sanity? And joy? Not me.

Brilliant or not, and I was not early on a fan, I'm finding the book by Dasher Keltner, born to be good, free and legal at archive.org, to be an absolute must read and study. I found the first couple of chapters quite distracting. I wonder if he felt he had to put the bad stuff first? But then it really gets going.
