Stirring Souls. Vlog

My best current guess is that Tolstoy and Jesus were entirely and profoundly correct. And that therefore king and Gandhi were horribly mis directed bless their souls. Man is incapable of living joyfully with in the violence sustained state.

Even a week or so ago these words spoken just now by James would have struck James as ridiculous Li idealistic, dogmatic, cerebral. 

 But when in history has the state been the servant of the masses? It has been the servant of the handful elite. 

James thinks it only cowardice within himself to speculate that maybe hes incorrect in this . And it

Turbine more correctly understood.

 An attempt this morning has been to implement speed of roiling To a level of persition That eliminated lopsided thrusting and etc. 

 What has just emerged is that This maybe a combination of several factors when achieved. 

Item. The actual circularity of this closed mechanical system everything from feet locked in

All I find in Christmas is Anti-Christ.

My addictions swoop in to fill the void when I allow space by not living a extremely meaningful life, for joy.

Live as though you would die tomorrow. Learn as though you would have live forever. Gandhi

Live as though the entire world depended upon what you do. Realize that it actually does.

Israeli Jews: If you are Godly we will crucify you. Jesus then. Palestinians now.

Kind Souls.

Not much traffic on this Christmas Day four-lane secondary Highway. Nice wide shoulder. Moments ago a large pickup truck coasted slowly past us and respectfully pulled off on the grass ahead of us not blocking. A large white gentleman maybe my age stepped out and graciously said, would you like some Thanksgiving, he did say Thanksgiving, leftovers? Seeing as I burn about 5000 calories a day yes that would be very nice. Bless Your souls James said to he and his wife. He asked, do you know of anyone else? I don't, obviously they have more to distribute kind folks.

To sole encounters, video log.

We did not fight back, but we did not turn back. We did not give way to bitterness. Some few spectators, who had not been trained in the discipline of nonviolence, reacted to the brutality of the policemen by throwing rocks and bottles. But the demonstrators remained nonviolent In the face of this resolution and bravery, the moral conscience of the nation was deeply stirred and, all over the country, our fight became the fight of decent Americans of all races and creeds.

The word spread fast, and the response from Birmingham's youngsters exceeded our fondest dreams. By the fifties and by the hundreds, these youngsters attended mass meetings and training sessions. They listened eagerly as we talked of bringing freedom to Birmingham, not in some distant time, but right now. We taught them the philosophy of nonviolence. We challenged them to bring their exuberance, their youthful creativity, into the disciplined dedication of the movement We found them eager to belong, hungry for participation in a significant social effort. Looking back, it is clear that the introduction of Birmingham's children into the campaign was one of the wisest moves we made. It brought a new impact to the crusade, and the impetus that we needed to win the struggle. Immediately, of course, a cry of protest went up. Although by the end of April the attitude of the national press had changed considerably, so that the major media were according us sympathetic coverage, yet many deplored our "using" our children in this fashion. Where had these writers been, we wondered, during the centuries when our segregated social system had been misusing and abusing Negro children? Where had they been with their protective words when, down through the years, Negro infants were born into ghettos, taking their first breath of life in a social atmosphere where the fresh air of freedom was crowded out by the stench of discrimination? The children themselves had the answer to the misguided sympathies of the press. One of the most ringing replies came from a child of no more than eight who 98 Why Wb Can't Watt walked with her mother one day in a demonstration. An amused policeman leaned down to her and said with mock gruffness: "What do you want?" The child looked into his eyes, unafraid, and gave her answer. "Feedom," she said. She could not even pronounce the word, but no Gabriel trumpet could have sounded a truer note. Even children too young to march requested and earned a place in our ranks. Once when we sent out a call for volunteers, six tiny youngsters responded. Andy Young told them that they were not old enough to go to jail but that they could go to the library. "You wont get arrested there," he said, "but you might learn something." So these six small children marched off to the building in the white district, where, up to two weeks before, they would have been turned away at the door. Shyly but doggedly, they went to the children's room and sat down, and soon they were lost in their books. In their own way, they had struck a blow for freedom.

So I have not said to my people: "Get rid of your discontent* Rather, I have tried to say that this normal and healthy discontent can be channeled into the creative outlet of nonviolent direct action. And now this approach.... is being termed extremist But though I was initially disappointed at being categorized as an extremist, as I continued to think about the matter I gradually gained a measure of satisfaction from the label. Was not Jesus an extremist for love: "Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." Was not Amos an extremist for justice: "Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream." Was not Paul an extremist for the Christian gospel: "I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus." Was not Martin Luther an extremist: "Here I stand; I cannot do otherwise, so help me God." And John Bunyan: "I will stay in jail to the end of my days before I make a butchery of my conscience." And Abraham Lincoln: "This nation cannot survive half slave and half free." And Thomas Jefferson: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal ..." So the question is not whether we will be extremists, but what kind of extremists we will be. Will we be extremists for hate or for love? Will we be extremists for the preservation of injustice or for the extension of justice? In that dramatic scene on Calvary's hill three men were crucified. We must never forget that all three were crucified for the same crime — the crime of extremism. Two were extremists for immorality, and thus Letter From Birmingham Jail 89 fell below their environment. The other, Jesus Christ, was an extremist for love, truth and goodness, and thereby rose above his environment. Perhaps the South, the nation and the world are in dire need of creative extremists.

One has not only a legal but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws. I would agree with St Augustine that "an unjust law is no law at all." Now, what is the difference between the two? How does one...

The ultimate tragedy of Birmingham was not the brutality of the bad people, but the silence of the good people. / MLK Jr. Why we can't wait.

Certainly Birmingham had its decent white citizens who privately deplored the maltreatment of Negroes. But they remained publicly silent It was a silence born of fear — fear of social, polit- ical and economic reprisals. MLK Jr. Why we can't wait.

Tolstoy was correct. No disrespect but Gandhi and king failed on the bassist I'm looking to continue the role of violence, Force by governments. But they still have much to teach James.

White people in the South may never fully know the extent to which Negroes defended themselves and protected their jobs — and, in many cases, their lives — by perfecting an air of ignorance and agreement. MLK Jr. Why we can't wait.

Operation study and eat up time continued.

For exercise the plan is to do the Walmart in Foley tonight, traveling at 6 miles an hour or so there is enough time for James to get exercise, and then returning here tomorrow night for dinner. This darling truck stop is open.

The Law of government, force, was until John. Now you must live only the rule of God, your Soul, Loving.

Hunger strike. Musings continued. The roller coaster.

Especially if you endured the 1. long video log of yesterday I suggest that you Wade through the following in order so as not to deprive yourself of the learning experience that James is going through for us. It's up to you.

Updated. Notes to self regarding hunger strike.

James you have done a lot of these. What should you be remembering with the prospect of one more? 

 Item. How far do you go? Hopefully to the end. Each one you have hoped that. but you didn't. Yes, I didn't. Why. Because my overarching question each breath

Notes to James. What could be a final cycling log.

 A good journey this 1st several hours. 

What is at play? 

Item. If it doesn't feel Like turbine, if it feels not like turbine In the Pelvic area You're not doing it right. If there is lopsided power within the cycle, too much power, too much attempted power each cycle within the cycle those are all problems. turbine is relatively high rpm a 100 or above and week amazingly so throughout every rotation. 

Item. Roiling. If it does not feel essentially chaotic but rather feels structured in some way you're doing it wrong. Sometimes it feels very cyclical round but that's only in the highest level of coordination it seems but if it feels structured and points each cycle up-and-down each cycle or anything like that it is not turbine it is not roiling. you can do it. 

 Yesterday was not badd But nor was it great. The focus that James had was on feeling all energy on the premium roiling on the premium which previously weeks ago had been really really useful. It wasn't bad but nor was it particularly helpful. But also days ago the fact that something does rotate the  joints down in the buttocks they do rotate there's no other option when that was brought to mind and Gently helping those roll forward and back The other points including those above became possible and began to fall into place. Incidentally. The metrics are not huge this journey this morning but acceptable very acceptable. 220 230 240 with little or no attention most of the time required. Auto pilot. 

Item. The use of PID envelope on this mildly rolling road is really helpful. Particularly in as much as it at allows us to be on auto pilot. 

Item.  what about spaghetti legs? That was really really a euphoric encounter several days ago per the log But yesterday and today It was not at all in the thinking Which isn't to say that it was not in place It probably is but achieved with the points above better than bringing spaghetti legs directly to mind. If James were to guess the big thing is grasping what is not easy to bring to mind the next day that Being turbine Is absolutely instrumental.

Item. Equalibrium, constant speed buttoxball roiling.
