Thoughtful input? Now would be a good time. Prospective graphic left hand side.


I took my own medicine, best there is. On the mend? Agony done?


Beyond belief how much better last night was and therefore this morning. Beyond belief.
James was a highly trained, extremely competent back care specialist in the 2002 and 2005 timeframe. Created and ran  the most successful new Back Store in the country. National franchise.
James had some back issues and neck issues at the time which he treated with the principles in this must-read, must read, must-read, must read, must read book.

Everything I sold, everything I advised, everyone I helped, was because of the simple counterintuitive proven principles in this book. If you have a back, and you do not read this and deeply work through and internalize the body mechanics issues, well, you totally deserve the pain that you will have. I hope that you read and internalize.

Up to $10,000 beds, up to $6,000 recliners, up to $10,000 massage chairs, and other very expensive products were sold by James, along with this several dollar book, and products in between, and people were dramatically dramatically dramatically dramatically helped, and much much much much pain prevented.

I'm tired of trying to do people's work for them, and then they never do take advantage. It is a disservice to the clients I'm trying to help, and the people that ignore. Enabling. Point being, there are three or four principles that I could summarize for you, but I will not do so unless you do your homework with this book. If you do so and then contact me I will be delighted to help provide the summary.

Anyway, last night was almost back to normal which is unbelievable after the nights before. This due to the awkward vertical lift on the vehicle that James had to execute to right the overturned vehicle. It has been agony at night and in the morning until the back settled.
Last night at zero cost James fabricated one of the products that he used to sell, well, really multiple products, multi thousand-dollar beds might do the same thing. James did the same at no cost. Took less than 90 seconds. And it transformed to the situation. The back is still tender, and maybe that's a good thing, James is learning some lessons, further lessons, about posture.

Solar RV cycling log April 27th. Millimeters of body adjustment maybe crucial.




Several weeks ago major change was made to the physical seat orientation. New holes drilled, the seat made more recumbent. This seems not only to have been a necessary adjustment but there is a vague recollection that before James replaced broken seat brackets more than a year ago he may have done this and forgotten. That would explain a lot why things have felt so foreign so often these last 18 months or so. Fighting to reclaim  lost performance.

No, no, no, no, James does not understand why day after day, journey after journey, his body is still demanding to optimize. Shaking his head.

And it is. Constantly it is trying to improve things and so far James basically trusts it's wisdom.

Tonight has been a good ride, the objective being staying with in the comfort level of the body so it is not  a verse to these long voyages, getting an excellent work out and this will be well over a thousand calories, probably 1,300 more, and leaving the mind largely free for study. James has allowed a slight lapse on the latter tonight to make room for some things the body was trying to explore.

Who knows why, but the body wanted to explore tonight finding the mechanical relationship to the fictitious gear at the knee. Gear at the knee is fictitious, but the absolute mechanical linkage to the real chain ring is not fictitious.

So it is as if the body was saying, okay, this imaginary chain ring at the knee is a good idea, but I want to feel the mechanics of it up close and personal every stroke.

And there has been some of this for weeks. The whole notion of digging, feeling the end of each stroke as one would in an upright cycle has been a very helpful factor.

That emboldens and informs the body maybe. I think so. So tonight the body said, okay, I have a feel for this, it's helpful, but you're actually not putting me in contact with a real thing and I want that.

Side note. Why has James driven off the road, off the edge on to the gravel, right wheel, at one point four mi an hour, for about the sixth time tonight?

So tonight has been, James, dial way back on the motor ratio, you do one part the motor only does 3, that means a very slow cadence, and James, go as slow as you want in the cadence and therefore the velocity as a vehicle. Where is the mechanical end of your fictitious knee gear? Well, I said, we are in the vicinity of it and we have been for weeks. The body said, no James, that's not good enough, I want to feel the actual thing.

And in this third hour of trying to satisfy, it is being approximated. What seems to have achieved that was Scooting the butt forward a good inch or so so that a full full full rotation down to about 45 degrees which is the physical full leg extension on the pedal, fully could feel that sort of hard point. And it was not up until now. And it is liking this. The body is saying, okay, you're getting me something to work with in tactile. We don't have to rely on imagination quite so much. Well, we have banged knees once. On the two inch aluminum cross bar. Ouch. We had to move towo thin towels back about 3 inches so they are less under the butt and more under the initial lumbar of the spine. And the thick wonderful seat cushion back another 2 in as well so it was not interfering with the thighs.

Totally no fabulous numbers here. But the body is right Lee happy that it's doesn't have to do so much guessing. It can feel the reality of the machine. It is substantially emlowered  automatically it seems and that makes James glad. More automatic.

Yes, who knows what can of worms this will open. LOL.

Ignite Soul log April 27th. The forest for the trees James has been missing. Meditating this morning on LSGIA being helped.


Frustrated is James that his metrics LSGIA being are stag not at about 7.5. Horribly frustrated? No. But frustrated? Yes. And glad of it. No frustration, no potential for growth.

So on the regenerative downhill Glide this morning which takes a little over an hour, speed limited so this the batteries are not overcharged by charging too quickly, James took to meditating on LSGIA being, his first part of his  prayer, not our Father, LSGIA being. Which as he has written and said is a better descriptive of what the great soul throughout history have meant by God, Or father. LSGIA Being.

Well, this brief meditation not unlike one that I have done in the past regularly, very predictable Lee brought to mind iconic LSGIA beings. Not that there have been a whole lot of them, there have been at most one in a million, and maybe one in a billion.

Not a long meditation nor an attempt to be exhaustive.

Three came to mind. The man Jesus. Sophie Scholl of the white rose Nazi resistance, and Franz Jegerstatter, a ref user of the Nazi war machine, he in Austrian, knowing that it meant rapid execution which indeed it did.

and a important insight came this morning. How James, and we more Broadway, miss the forest for the trees. The most important point, the most important character of these individuals and those like them, is not what they did, but what they were. They were ls beings. They were bits of creator. They were children of creator. And they were joy, the joy of creator and creation. Every breath. Certain of that I am. They could not anymore, would not anymore, throw off this nature to save their lives and avoid torture, then they would commit suicide. Because that would be for them what they would experience a suicide. Death of their very nature which they cherished. In themselves and others.

Does this matter? Who knows? Who knows they are LSGIA being? Not two in a billion. Who cares? Not 3 in a billion.

But those three in a billion do. James does. Jesus did. The gate is narrow few will enter in he said. And he loved, he lived for, giving a chance to those one in a billion. And had he not, had not, those two or three and a billion would have been lost. But they were saved by the likes of these. What a wonderful thing.

Yes, near all ignore the truth. The followers almost without exception use them as props.

Life without severe back pain no longer of thing. Interesting challenge.

This terribly self-absorbed lady had James in a fury.....


About a mile and a half up from Lone Pine is the first really really nasty climb. Probably 13% grade. That is really really steep. Climbing it yesterday, about two-thirds of the way up the worst part, James saw a four-wheel drive Range Rover type of vehicle pull past and stop about two tenths of a mile right on the crest of the hill on the shoulder. James was Furious. My God, I'm trudging up this hill and this clueless lady, I could tell it was a lady, is fussing in the back of her car, standing in back of the vehicle with the big gate open over her head. Lady, go change your child's diaper someplace else. Go arrange your suitcases somewhere else! It's necessary for me to stop when you could do this another 10th or two tenths of a mile ahead?
Traveling at a mile an hour, which happens on really steep grades, the lady was seen walking down the hill, and it soon became apparent she was walking toward the vehicle. She had a bag in her hands. She came alongside the vehicle. Don't stop! Apples and oranges. I stopped. Really there was no way to accept the bag without stopping and it was no longer the worst part of the climb. Bless your heart I said. She began walking quickly back towards her vehicle careful not to obstruct my path of travel. And then she turned on her heel and came back, you stopped, I'll give you a push. I laughed. Not necessary ma'am. Thank you so much.

The Kingdom of God (Joy) is within you. Do unto others all things whatsoever you would have them do unto you, and you enter in. Did I f****** stutter?

Solar RV cycling log April 25. Energy into the feet is energy away from the drive cog at the knees?



Sure, the feet ankles and shins want to get involved. But why? Some of the answer is that it promises relaxation to the thighs. A promise that either it cannot keep or he keeps at the expense of energy being delivered into the vehicle. It is a siren song which sings very sweet Lee but maybe just tonight is being unmasked? For what it is?

Tonight is a good voyage. The priority is on study and that is going very well. The second priority is not to discourage the body through over exhaustion some of that may have happened in the last week and there's an attempt to restore the lack of fearfulness in the body. LOL. An additional factor is that unlike the winter time that exacts a terrible price on a sweating body, not so much in this milder weather. Point being we are beginning to realize that rather than a gigantic output every other day that big voyages every couple of days in a row are an option. Travel to the town has been in every other day event. When Whitney portal is open that may be more like once every 3 days. With some travel everyday. Again, that means that the voyages don't have to be 1500 calorie voyage is. They could be thousand calorie  but two or three back-to-back is pretty good exercise.

Tonight will be a thousand calorie plus voyage creator willing. 1350. Possibly another 500 calories tomorrow.

The organizing principle, the great friend tonight is the notion that the knees are powering a chain ring at the knees. Coupled with the idea that there is a chain on that ring and some level of constant pressure over the front all the time is a good idea.

About 60% into the voyage a new idea appeared that maybe has been seen a long time ago. Momentum in the ring participated with by the knees. And that has caused an experience of the knees almost resting against the forward half, especially the forward 20 %, of that chain ring. Not sure where this will be in the long-term scheme of things but it seems worth indulging for tonight at least. It may will be a good evolution.

With that notion of momentum with the chain ring and the knees sometimes manifest as being at equilibrium with the chain ring pushing back, and sometimes slightly overcoming constantly that momentum. In situations requiring a little bit more power or when the legs feel up to it.

Ignite soul log April 25th. Beloved Freddy Perlman, against Leviathan falling into the ultimate trap?



Tremendous respect from James to Freddy. Tremendous courageous brilliant relentless truth seeker he seems to be. A giant. Tremendously stimulating book in an important way.

But the trap of almost all of the greats seems to have been fallen into by Freddy.

What trap? That paradise is external. Such a shame, for James. If he fell into that trap. That he fell into that trap. Such a great intellect. James needed him to go beyond so James could learn more.

Freedom is not freedom from just Leviathan, but freedom from that illusion that the ultimate experience is any sort of external environment. It is not. It cannot be. We are creatures trapped within our nervous system. That is not necessarily a bad thing. Point being when we decide that external circumstances are necessary to optimeyes  our internal experience, we have to that degree sacrificed our freedom and our joy.

My point is not to find fault with Freddy. My point is to reflect on and learn from  what I'm finding there.

Although it is too late for the mastery of cultural abomination drenched history to make the future different, to some degree it can inform my work as a physician of the soul. An igniter of soul. And probably Freddy's work will be sucked dry by James further for this potential advantage.

Although somewhat crippled in use from this by the absence of notes at the end of the book, citing his sources in detail, James continues to find that the courageous truth seeking speaks loudly from the pages and therefore James will go deeper regardless. Grateful. Much appreciation. And even despite this tremendous deficiency mentioned at the top of this post. Still much of tremendous educational useful value in this book. What a wonderful contribution.

However, neither, this is critically important, neither can the optimal internal state of the nervous system be divorced from what it perceives in the external reality! This is the most important point in the world. To paraphrase, live as tho the entire world depends upon what you do, that your entire joy depends upon what you accomplish, and realize that you will probably make no difference at all, except in the attempt you will be infinitely joyful!

Ignite Souls log April 24. Back and vehicle big distractions but moving forward. Initial Graphics completed.







Peddling and sitting in the ergonomic recumbent seat are very therapeutic for the back it seems, but not sleeping, not lying down, not being on the ground, very destructive it seems.

Unlike this morning in Future Days the attempt will be made to get cycling first thing in the morning.

not recognizing the pattern, and of necessity, this morning was spent in some pain  replacing a left front wheel brake cable, one of two breaks, that has been failing in an odd way as it turns out and badly compromising the breaking. That seems to be rectified.

The catastrophic motor failure of 2 days ago may have taught an enduring lesson, James, make maintenance and upgrades a daily part of the routine. A check list has been established and Light maintenance and preventive maintenance May well be attempted daily now. And some was conducted today. And more plannwd for tomorrow.

The order was begun with FedEx for the  side panel of Sol, and the rear gate. Their process online is a bit cumbersome but I expect that by tomorrow the order will be finalized and by month's end the new graphics should arrive and be installed. That's quite important.

Kingdom of God! Kingdom of good! Throw your lot in with goodness and take the consequences!!! How is the opposite working out for your children????

Ignite souls log April 23rd. Against Leviathan, the Roman Catholic Church as global Empire.





Brilliant the scholarship, courageous, analysis, imagining, that is at least tremendously stimulating to James and maybe some of it bed rock when he gets a chance to annotate the black and white. Real flashes of brilliance.

Fatigue, back pain, evolving cycling technique, vehicle repair and upgrade, all distracting from this brilliant Lee written book. Brilliantly created book. Honestly created. At much risk and toil I suspect. A labor of love for us. For truth.

Taking me in fundamentally new directions I do not find this book doing. Putting substantial flesh on the bones is what I have  sensed to a degree.

No grasp yet have I what by Leviathan he means. Speculation that it is meme.

April 23rd soler RV cycling log. Alarming, interesting, morphing going on.



Pulling a chain over the front of the chain ring that is at my knees down about 15 degrees from horizontal is the primary mode today. And using the rest of the cycle to attempt to put gentle pressure on that same chain ring at the same place, the crest of the chain ring where it extends over the front. And attempting to stay at or below 60% of theoretical power.

Keeping the gear at the knee very low is crucial.

Keeping the shin ankle and feet totally limp and there by out of the way of the knee action is extremely helpful and largely successful tonight. when energy returns to the shin calf and feet it is noticed rather quickly how the efficiency and power decreases. And effort increases.

Keeping the gear down and out, the central dig area down and away is crucial.

a better way of conceiving of speed as a means of reducing force required is speed of the chain particularly over the nose of the chain ring at the knees.

Oh, and there are indications that this type of cycling the way I'm doing it in a recumbent is extremely regenerative of this damaged lumbar region. Time will tell but after three and a half hours of climbing in this vehicle the back feels much much better. Amazing.

Anti-abortion? No deeply moral person has this as a major agenda item. Nor, is unconcerned.

Solar cycling blog April 22nd. Wax on, wax off.



I have no idea where I am relative to being a serious cyclist in terms of strength and performance. There are reasons to think that I am pretty extremely accomplished. There are reasons to think I am laughably dumb as a post.

No matter. What does matter is that I'm able to get tremendous amounts of exercise for the purpose of supporting the longevity of this Mission which seems to be hitting some stride, and while conducting the exercise to utilize the soul and mind to learn and grow in capacity and capability. All of that is happening in recent months.

Having the Mind free while getting extensive exercise, these are not separate things. It is really difficult to concentrate on study when the body is trying to figure out what the hell to do  while becoming increasingly exhausted on four hour voyages..

Wax on wax off. The young student had no idea what the hell he was doing painting fences. But all of a sudden that came together.

The last week is that sort of thing and it continued today. There have been times in recent years when performance was extraordinarily High and the enabling Factor was the idea of maintaining momentum, sometimes of the vehicle, sometimes of an imagined sphere at my knees, other times and imagined sphere or cylinder at my feet….

What seems to be a Monumental breakthrough occurred days ago when it was realized that yes, yes, yes, yes, James, if you devote all of your attention and energy to cycling an imagined gear at your knees that is the same size as the gear at your feet that will optimize everything, including your shins and ankles and feet being inert Pistons driven by that motion of your knees driven by the thighs. Gigantic. And in recent days the logs have spoken about how friends, elements of powerful cycling in the last years have begun to come out of the woodwork and unify around this.

Exhausted today from the 14 hours to correct the destroyed motor, and from all the time down on the ground that required with this badly damaged back, tonight's Journey was attenuated, only 500 calories. Probably the other 1500 will be expended tomorrow.

But in tonight's brief Journey a treasured old friend emerged and this time made sense. Maintaining momentum, but not some abstraction, not really, maintaining the momentum of the exact replica of the gear at the feet which is being pumped in a circular fashion but landing hard on full lower extension, digging, maintaining the momentum of that. And another old friend related, maintaining a Cadence so that the body is given full chance of optimizing and improving the rhythm of all that.

This may be laughably slow, years, to gain this clarity. Or it may be relatively High Caliber visioning. I don't know which. I do know that it is promising of the objectives mentioned above.

Ignite souls log April 22nd. Very brief but extremely important study recent days. Against Leviathan. Freddy Perlman.


With the miraculous, kind, supportive help of my new friend Michael, the skilled engineer, and 14 hours, Sol is mobile again. 14 hours is so expensive, and it makes my head spin feeling so slow, but the world expert Justin, Vancouver Canada, in these things this afternoon, said, James, that's about how long it takes. Most of the time was figuring out how to open and doing the motor in the rear wheel and replace all the connective wiring and then get it closed up again. But getting the wheel off, replacing the chain that was totally destroyed, reassembling and storing all the tools and equipment, about 14 maybe 16 hours. And of course most or all of the work has to be done down on the ground and that is where it is really really really really bad for this newly damaged back.

This tired old body really really really really really wanted to go to the hostel tonight. But it didn't make sense. In fact as nice as that is in really really bad weather, it is no guarantee of a good night's sleep. Last time the  first person I've ever met the could snore all night long, all night long, all night long, was there.

So finally the soul and mind won out and we begin an abbreviated voyage, only 500 calories.

Point being that recent days have required enormous amounts of time to repair and upgrade this extraordinary vehicle Sol. Leaving agonizingly brief time for study.

It will take two or three more readings, including one stationary looking at black and white, annotating, to begin to digest this brilliant massive contribution by Freddy Perlman. It is the most important book on world history by far that I have read.

In its own way it is what saving paradise, and the great transformation, really should have been. Both of those two really are substantially trapped by the notion of how things are. Wonderful scholarship, great contributions, but very much of the status quo all said and done. Not going to shake the foundations of this dying world.

I don't know that Freddy set out to shake the foundations of the world, and he didn't. Like all such visionaries the world ignored him. But I don't know that he set out with an agenda as the authors of the two other books did. Other than to find the share the truth.

I do not detect any sub agendas intended or otherwise for which he is to be tremendously credited, making his work very very helpful.

Published in the 1980s as I recall, he for saw the destruction, among other things, of mother earth, more clearly and importantly then just about anyone that I know.

I hope that I can trust his scholarship and so far that is my sense. If this continues it will be quite a gold mine for my work. My sense so far is that among other things he points to the few truly revolutionary efforts and groups going back thousands of years. I had hoped to get that from saving paradise and the great transformation but that didn't really happen.

It could well be that Freddy's providing that.

James translation of Jesus words into the realm of the Soul and 2019 knowledge. The first 10%. Serious comments very welcome.

The creative adult is the child that survived. Ursula Le Guin


The gusts were frightening, buckling the windshield.....

An hour ago 25% of the way, 500 calories, up the mountain there had been gusts that were a big concern and up to 50 miles an hour gusts were forecast. But not for another several hours. But then it was fairly fairly calm. Well, we're going to the hostel tonight anyway. On the way down there were several truly frightening gusts. Buckling the windshield. It's always a tough call but with this damaged back it just made sense to come to the hostel. At the bottom of this picture is Mount Whitney where we were headed. The picture is looking West and the weather is coming out of the West.

James, don't leave us, she said through tears.



My head is still spinning and still choked up.

Many many months ago now, cold months, James arrived in Lone Pine expecting to be here for a day or two continuing South. The area has turned out to be near perfection for the work James tries to do.

A major part of that Perfection is several people in particular that were just so incredibly genuinely simply kind pretty much from day one. In the words of one but in the behavior of both, they decided I was a local and just started treating me that way. Each is a server in two different restaurants that with the little money I have I frequent for coffee or salad bar. And the reason for coffee was to have a warm place to sit with a place to plug in my laptop.

Normally on the day she works oh, at least one day a week I would stop in and get something at the one restaurant but that didn't happen today. But saying hello to my friend was something I wanted to do so I did go in and we gave each other a warm hug.

We chatted for a minute, she asked how I was, and I did mention that my back is now severely compromised due to the vehicle rollover 2 days ago.

Immediately she was crying she was so worried. Are you okay? Here's my phone number if you ever need anything. James, you and your vehicle are the Talk of the Town. Please don't leave us.

By no measure have I ever been in such a welcoming area. Always before I have felt like an alien. I do not feel like an alien here. Despite what she said many or most way consider me one. But enough of them don't that I simply see a really compatible situation. It is an incredible blessing to me, and to my work..

LSGIABeing.com is the way of life. All else, all else, is the way of death, cancer. Pioneering....

Solar cycling log April 18th. Down the rabbit hole. What a f****** ride.



It's back! The magical up and down knee pumping that seemed so extraordinary, about 7 months ago coming south, it's back! It showed up about an hour ago. What the f***?

At that time the seemed so extraordinary months ago no idea had I why it seem to be so productive. And then it was lost, never again to be found. Until tonight! And looking for it I was not! It just showed up.

Mentioned in the last log was the encouraging insight that being aware that the mechanical process is to move the chain ring it's called, the forward gear. That was emerging and proving to be a very useful organizing concept for the body

Tonight's journey did not start out easily but it wasn't bad. Nor was the notion of that chain ring in mind and after 40 minutes when it came into mind it was quite helpful. And what provided for the next hour was the notion that digging, another useful concept, meant placing extreme priority on the last 20 percent of the forward movement of that chain ring. Yes, all the power is in the thighs and the knees and it was hard to keep the feet and Cavs limp. Very hard. But eventually and happened especially with this notion of the last 20 percent of the chain ring being the sweet spot. And important also was the notion of not going past the full extension which seems to be a lazy escape the body likes to do.

Another extremely useful concept tonight was limiting power not to the 70% of the metrics but the 50%. Just see what happens if you limit yourself not to the 70% but the 50%. It has proven very helpful.

But then some new things showed up. Yes James for reason you don't understand you need to keep your focus on your knees and just awareness on what the feet are doing to that chain ring.

And at some level the body knows that it can't push the knees forward. Well, all of the sudden the notion popped in mind of pumping the knees up and down. But the logic then began do emerge. If the pumping is kept low that equates to the leg going to full extension and pulling and pushing the chain bring over to its full extension! And now it allows for the up moving leg to start playing a meaninful role. Delivering some level of power because as it moves directly up it retract and pulls the lower portion of the chain ring back to its full extension backwards! Who knew?!

And this resurrection others golden. Which made no sense except for a long time James wrote ecstatic Lee about the notion that the task was to turn an orb at the knees a small orb to be sure that it fully turned over the top of full extension each stroke. And it worked, and for days or weeks it could be held onto. And then it was lost. Why lost? Well, maybe because James I had not thought through the physical mechanic he's now understanding.

If the knees imagine that they are moving a chain ring of the same size as the actual chain ring at the feet and they are rotating it to full upward and downward extension with each stroke that happens to be actuator the shins and feet exactly on the same size actual chain ring that they're impacting. Who knew? Not James. But now he does! Is this a major breakthrough? Probably so.

Update. And all the elements of the last year are coming together now. Yes, if the knees circle a chain ring imagined at them using the dynamics discovered in the last month, it all works out. Dig, meaning that last 20% of the downstroke and upstroke is where the power is. But still, keep it cycling, rotational. Do not stay at 100% power, but shoot for 50%. Amazing how it works out. Keep the feet ankles and thighs totally limp. They are simply dead wonderful linkages to the feet which turns the real chain ring. There is no power in the dead piston on a locomotive but it delivers the power where it is needed. So it is with the Shins ankles and feet.

1900 calories.

Left shoe, move foot as far forward as possible.

Adjust seat pad back so there is full clearance under the thigh for full extension.

Yes, 90% of the focus is on the imaginary gear between the knees. Yes, there is a target point that is to be rolled into every stroke, about 7. Yes, the upstroke is really important to health in power directly and in the downward leg hitting the 7 Target each time. Yes, keep that gear between the knees rolling. The power of should peak in the last 20% down to the 7 Target, but it should always be kept rolling.

Ignite soul log April 18. Wherever the one in a million soul is dying for life is where I'm going, I replied.


Ignite soul log April 18. Wherever the one in a million soul is dying for life is where I'm going, I replied.

For many months now if not years articulated have I that the two places I see creator are in nature and the very rare kindness of one human being to another. Bringing this to mind is my new friend Michael who may currently be the only person in the world reading my blog with any regularity and depth and maybe the first person to ever do so as deeply and extensive Lee and openly as he may be doing. The prospect makes me very glad for him, and encouraged, frankly. Glad for him for the same reason I am glad for me to have a massed AL these treasures that are the reason my soul is joyfully alive. Maybe some of those treasures will enrich his as well. That's the reason for my life.

Michael comes to mind because as reported yesterday although no one besides Michael seemed to notice or care, major disaster struck the mission. The vehicle lurched forward in a dangerous situation and overturned and was almost impossible to lift up and no one was available to help. So attempt to right it I did and in the process the lower spine majorly dislocated. More so than if you pull your finger and dis locate the joint. It was very painful but much more than that alarming. If the spine goes this mission in its current form is terminated. A quick note of that was made on the blog and copied to Facebook. An hour later this beautiful little Nissan electric car appeared at the trailhead next to the vehicle and there was friend Michael quite alarmed and armed to help. Physical help was no longer needed at that point but his kind effort  was and is wind under my wings. It is encouraging to this mission to encounter such great goodness as we occasionally do.

One of the metrics that I task myself multiple times a day with is, availability, being where those dying for life for the soul are. In recent week speculated have I that maybe that is right here in Lone Pine Mount Whitney for the next 3 or 4 months as people come through this area from around the world to climb the highest peak in the United States, Mount Whitney, and others of the 14 ers I think they're called, those peaks in excess of 14000 feet in this area. Speculated further have I that it may be a spiritual, a graveyard, of the soul. That they may be all just be pleasure seekers, shallow, happy with the death of their souls. Drowning in the pleasure that is the price of that. No, disparrraging of others I am NOT being. Honest.

This morning provided two slightly encouraging encounters. Both at what is effectively the trailhead for Mount Whitney, a large dirt parking area just before the last 3 miles of the highway which is closed for cleanup of extensive Rock Falls and snow. Openning is tomorrow possibly.

In recent days being there at least during the day, working on the vehicle or just working in general, the latter possibility has been in evidence, just a lot of mindless, rather soul less, pleasure seekers. No, not being judgemental. Evaluating. You are free to disagree.

But if there is any population any place in the world where more than one in a million is dying for life for the soul it certainly is hiding itself well. So none of this should be surprising. What creation needs from James is defined, if there is a population, and area, where it is two in the million, or 5 in a million, or one in 100,000, James needs to find that the same way a fisherman, fishing I do not approve of, the fisherman wants to find the place with the best odds as low as they may me. And speculated have I in recent weeks that maybe in the summer months when Pacific Coast hikers are in the area this will be one of those higher probability areas.

One of the encouraging encounters this morning was with a  young female tour guide of an adventure camping group, about 10 mid twenties folks going for pretty rigorous camping experience of Whitney from what I can gather. Always, pretty much without exceptions James keeps his head down, on his work. Vaguely aware of this group was he that's all. Approached did this young female guide with some Sparkle to her soul, in evidence. I've never seen a vehicle like this, with some clear genuine wonder, she said. What I said I don't recall. She wasn't asking questions so I did not elaborate but I certainly extended respect to the show of soul that I think I saw there. And I took some tiny encouragement from it. And as they walked away going on their trip a young man in the group,  said, thank you for speaking with us, this surprised me, I hadn't noticed him, but it was genuine and genuinely from me he heard, you're most welcome.

Shortly after aware became I of people speaking in a tongue that I did not understand. Israeli, and maybe Middle Eastern occurred to me.

A man approached, late 30s early forties, and respectfully showed enthusiasm for the vehicle and was asking about the solar panels. Turns out he wanted to know whether they remain strong or deteriorating overtime. Remain strong indicated I. Turns out he is with a business in the Czech Republic maybe? A business that is developing technology to optimize the longevity of solar panels.

Not disparaging , and he did not take it as disparagement , I indicated that 20 years from now none of us will say that technology was the hope for the planet. Except for the technology of bringing souls to life.

This and the vehicle and the new messages on the vehicle, for joy serve those poor souls in solidarity, he said, may I record your message? I would like to share it with my friends back in Eastern Europe. It seems very humble and genuine so I humbly said yes of course. The message was probably two or 3 minutes long.

If this turns out not to be at all a fertile area this probably will be where we will remain for the next 3 or 4 months and study, at least because it is so conducive for that unless we become un welcome which seems unlikely, or the feared heat of the summer drives us north. The major investments in fortifying Sol  for climbing the last 4 miles, another two thousand feet, proves sufficient then we can escape up there to escape the heat during the day. That is the plan and the expectation. It is also thought that that higher percentage fishing pool might be up at the trailhead which will be open at the very top of the road.

Try and understand must James the diff types of needs of the souls dying for life that James lives to be physician to, health bringer to, his sites a wealth of Medicine, resources, LSGIABeing and start loving. Org.

Bringing this to mind is the book James is listening to a second time now, 1.5, against history, his story, against Leviathan. Freddy Perlman. Suggested by my friend Michael another book like that I am not aware of ever reading. Breathtaking in scope and scholarship as with other books that have been studied by James recently, saving paradise, the great transformation. But not a focus on Christianity as are those two books, or on religion as those two are, but on maybe economics maybe, or culture. Notions of civilization and savage RI which he rightly says are inverted.

Incredibly inspired and useful.  brilliant and creative. A potential treasure field going forward and at least a major rock for me to stand on.

What if, as an Act of Faith, Americans went all in for goodness?


I died for your Soul to be alive, here, now, on Earth. Your Christianity crucifies it. Jesus


Soulless, beautiful, beautiful trained young Asian Christian Droid did I meet yesterday.


Just before the last stretch, still closed, of new highway going to the base of Mount Whitney, Sol and I spent the day with me conducting upgrades and repairs.
Late in the afternoon one of the hikers, this is a Trailhead until the road opens in several days, a hiker sort of circles Sol, and then stood to get my attention.
Looking up there was a very pretty young Asian girl, early twenties Maybe? Are you a Christian? No, I said, it is the real man that I Revere, not what the church has been making up for two thousand years.
I speak this as the tired truth. She did not seem to take offense. And then began a series of questions which I responded to for probably 5 minutes or more which is a long time for me. She showed little reaction to each thing that I shared, other than as a basis to calculate what question to ask next,, and anyone reviewing this site can pretty well guess what I shared.
I didn't catch on. And that's okay. Finally, well, I believe the Bible is without error she said, that was earlier in the conversation, and now, well may I at least tell you my Christian beliefs.
Thinking for a moment I said, no, that would be unkind of me.

Unkind, why?

Because it would help you think that I was not really sad about your belief system. Why is that? She asked. Because it is the Hallmark of a soul that is not very alive.
But only this morning upon Awakening did I more fully grasp what I encountered which is a broader phenomenon that I have encountered many times. But it presented itself in a deeper understanding.
Google agents send me a daily summary on probably 30 different topics in which I have interest, every day. Most of it is not useful but some of it is. One was an article of a credible study looking at Christian fundamentalism, and finding that it correlates quite highly with brain damage of the prefrontal cortex. The study was of combat veterans as I recall. The article was not read extremely carefully by me but I reflected this morning, and somewhat last night, that the church is systemic War Of Destruction on the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain that Embraces new ideas and change and Truth. And that when that's gone, the study went on, what is embraced instead is Dogma although that's not the word that they used. The security of Dogma.
The church is systemic Relentless war, and I'm speaking of the church communities, the fundamentalist groups, the Christian groups at large that Embrace such things as the inerrancy of the toilet paper Bible knit together by thousands of hands one in a million of which had any grasp of Soul, any grasp of the Divine. Despite their best efforts.
By incorporating such inane garbage the prefrontal cortex experiences Assault, it withdraws, it atrophies, and it essentially dies.

This was an extremely valuab insight for me.  Surprising that it didn't come till now.

Sol, Front and back Graphics finally updated.



Major disaster. Spine popped. Vehicle rolled.



There were probably a lot of dangers in flying the earliest airplanes. There are a lot of Hazards with this vehicle. Everything needs to be just right in this tremendously heavy bicycle in this very mountainous area. And this morning in a split-second things didn't go right. While trying to stuff rocks Under the wheels, because the brakes were not keeping it still while parked, one hand holding the hand brake, the other reaching desperately to place the Rocks, the hand slipped and caught the accelerator which is on the same handle. The vehicle jolted forward rolling up a steep embankment and rolled over. No one around. No help available. So over the course of several minutes James attempted to right the vehicle which was near impossible because it was trying to write it onto a steep embankment. Lifting to slide the front of the vehicle using the aluminum frame which required leaning over into the vehicle, was the only course. And it was undertaken. And then something James has never ever experienced, his lower spine popped. That was an hour ago. He is stable and functional. And quite interested to see whether he dodged the bullet.
