All Out Raw, Naked, Uninhibited Freedom - What is it? What can I do with it? How? Why? Where? With Whom?

Freedom is When You've Got Nothing Left to Lose.... and you'll taken totally responsibility for where you are...



Most will read the above sentence and primarily think of not having anything materially to hold one back.



A few will think it means they no longer have to defend their former position on something and can proceed with courage, boldness and a clear consciousness of knowing they are "On Their Pathway of Destiny."



If you've read a few of my prior post, you will see that I've used references to the movie "The Matrix" more than a few times. This movie is relevant because it so lucidly illustrates the effects of the unquestioned "Factory Farm Induced Belief Systems.



Morpheus in The Matrix stated it so eloquently.... "Like a "Splinter in the Mind"....


Having questioned so many aspects of The Matrix we all are born into I recognize that we all must interface with it in a day to day sense but that our interface need not be as unconscious or under the hypnotic trance as "The System" wants us to.



What do I mean by that?

Here are some of the key questioned areas that will unpack and give you food for thought upon in this post and all to come.

Do we need to believe such things as:

Being poor is noble and good....


Money is bad and you had to do something bad to get it....


Our beliefs about sex....


I'm not OK if I don't get a degree, decent paying job, car, house, spouse, produce kids, contribute to a retirement program, qualify for credit, etc...

I need a full time job, work hard....

Fitness and the pursuit of Health is fine as long as it doesn't interfere with work....

That's not what the commercials, my factory farmed education and my parents told me was food!

I - we need to have full medical coverage no matter what and get vaccinated and take the medicines the doctor prescribes or suggest to us and get regular check ups if we want to stay healthy...

If your not patriotic your a traitor and a Communist....

If you don't vote you have no say....

We must have a government to maintain order and laws...

Our current system of government is the best there is or can be and just get over it and march to the beat of everyone else trying to make it work...

You need to be realistic and stop questioning so much. Just be happy for what you've got.

Stay tuned....

My sole mission is inspire you to question the nature of  what you have perceived as "Reality" for you and to become Self Aware of the larger picture of the Nature of the Reality we all are waking up within. It's not until we are awake that we can begin to find freedom.

Tools For Releasing The Matrix's Grip On Your Life

This page is for those who want radically better health and the wages to support living that way.

When I look at all the wonderful people the Lord brings me in contact with daily I can't help but wonder what would it take help them find what I have found in the realm of running?

Having been a fitness trainer and an endurance and power sport athlete most of my life I've heard so many people say... I just don't have the time, I can't afford memberships, sessions, I don't have the energy, my old injuries, I'm to old, and on an on....

Well it's time to take the mystery out of achieving extraordinary healing, fitness, stamina, strength, recovery and even creating the time and energy to build these into a lifestyle that make health and fitness natural and not an extra thing to do.

A couple years ago I parked my road bike and rediscovered my love for the simplicity of running.

Having the huge endurance engine I have naturally wanted to move into the same kind of milage and time durations I was used to in cycling.

This led to a very sudden awareness that flaws in the way my legs, feet and hips worked were destroying my joints and feet.

In my quest to find out how others had over come running related injuries I began to see that those who wore shoes running seemed to reinjure often and predictably. Many seemed to resort to settling for just a few miles at a time or cross training a lot to give themselves something to do until they healed from the dameage done while running.

I also saw a huge drop out rate which told me something fundamentally was wrong with the way most approached running.

I asked God to show me a way through the carnage I was witnessing and experiencing and within a week or so he directed me to a web site that was all about Barefoot Running!

Lo and Behold.... I read story after story written by others sharing how they had ditched shoes and found that all their injuries were miraculously healed and never have come back!

Then a light came on! A facinating fella out or Huntington Beach, CA who has 2 first names (Ken Bob)said a truth that changed my understanding of running health forever.

He said, "Running Barefoot forces correct biomechanics"!

Ponder that for a minute....

If you take off your shoes and then set out running anywhere...

The God designed in biofeedback loop in the soles of your feet will immediately, accurately and repetitously coach you on every movement you make. Every weakness in the feet, ankles, toes, shins, calves, alignment of the thighs, which muscles you use in what sequence, your hip tilt and balance, your spinal alignment, the symetry of how your arms swing and hang from your shoulders and even whether your head sits centered on your torso or leans to far forward... Will all be spoken to you through the soles of your feet!

I came to realize we have all beed decieved about the value of barefeet and how that supports proper posture, movement, balance, comfort, attunement, agility, proper use of the legs as shock absorbers (Instead of a "Jack Hammers"!)

Discovered Barefoot Running gave birth to a Spirit of Satisfaction and a Passion for the art of running that I never expected.

I've turned my 10 mile comute to work and back into Aerobic Threshold Training sessions with work gear, and food and water for a day.

I'm realizing at 51 yrs of age or as I think of it "51 laps around the Sun" that having finally found out how active and involved God is in the most minute details of my life and the love and passion I have for barefoot running.

I want to create a lifestyle now that will allow me the freedom to explore how far God will take me in this new form of expression of my spirit... Actually "his Spirit"

I'm looking asking the Lord and looking for others who are discovering they feel a call to move deeper into running as a means to connect with God, inspire others, develope both friendships and lifestyles that support all the freedom that going to running events, creating running events, touring the lands that God sends us too, touching the lives of those he brings to us in his name.

On the right side of this page are links to explore that can be doorways to other aspects of what has awakened in your soul (soles?) :o)

If you do find that the journeys into any of the attached sites inspires a new awakening, confirms whispers the Lord has already planted in your mind and heart, feel free to contact me by any means I've supplied you with.

My contact info is available via a link on the bottom of the page of the first link on the right.

Remember that God Speed is the perfect speed... Stay with that and always be where God is leading you.


All men will die but most will not live fully.

Jesus as my Barefoot Running Coach



Howdy, Everyone :o)

Somedays I wish you could be inside my body to feel how good it feels to become more functional and balanced in my legs, hips and torso.

I came to running from having ridden over 750,000 miles on bicycles in my life time. Imagine a Cydesdale horse that has had way to much weight on its back from to young an age and its spine was so sagged that mid back looked like a U! That was me! Then take its hips and them to the right and forwards on the right then twist its shoulders to the left. That was me!

I wondered for decades why I was so prone to bike crashes with injuries almost always on the right side of my body. Why the right side of my body developed all kinds of joint, ligament and muscle pain when I attempted running any kind of distance.

I attributed a lot of this bio-mechanical mess to the numerous crashes I endured in my early years of bicycle racing when I had more speed than skill at keeping my rig up right through fast corners in races.

Way back in late 70's after a very memorable case of "Road Rash" as we use to call the skin burn you got from sliding sideways on your flesh on pavement I attempted to take a break from riding by rediscovered the joy of running and found myself quickly up to runs of 12-20 miles a day.

With no awareness of how my body had changed due to it's dealing with the trauma of the crashes I found it easy to ramp up to 12-18 mile runs within my first month. Within 3 months I started running formal Marathons. It only took a couple in the span of 2 months to find out I was damaging my right knee to the point that had to abandon running and return to the bike just so I could maintain my cardio and respiratory fitness. A feeling I have never wanted to live without.

The doctors told me my running days were over. That the cartilage in my right knee was so hammered I would be looking at a complete knee replacement in the near future.

I never believed that... I always believed there was a non-surgical solution. I instinctively knew there was a larger lesson being taught here....

I traveled the country back and forth looking for clues. I sought out all the top authorities on joints, ligaments, muscle rebalancing, stretching, nutrition, mental reprogramming, you name it....

One day decades later, after I had accepted Christ as my Savior I asked him to guide me in healing my body and restoring my health.

I had a haunting feeling that if I did not seek his counsel on this something bad was going to happen to me on the bike. I'd knew I'd been shielded by Gods grace over all those miles I'd ridden but the Lord had other plans for me and wanted me to move on.

Low and Behold... In a matter of a few weeks after I began to earnestly ask him for guidance he lead me to bare foot running of all things.

I was stunned and yet amazed as I read of how others had come from where I was and listened to the Lords promptings to shed their shoes and relearn how to walk and run the way only he could teach us. All the testimonies I read told of miraculous healings of bum knees, hips, backs, and feet! Just the opposite of what our logical minds would think!

Here I am today bare foot surfing the concrete and asphalt jungle of the Inland Empire as they call this region.

Listening to him whisper into my heart with every step I take, with regenerated knees, a pillow like foot strike, comfortably cruising across the land while burning fat mostly and feeling a breeze that I've come to know as one of the Lords kisses of approval on my life.

Always when I arrive home after having spent such precious time with my coach Jesus... I feel so blessed and at peace.....He is the source of all healing, help, hope and happiness.

Thank you Lord!

Thank you for the gift of healing this broken spirit and unraveling this body that was in bondage.

Thank you for being present in the moments of my life and all those you would have me touch in your name. Thank you for patiently waiting for me to give up my cause for yours.

Your all has ever made a difference anyway!

Lord it's only you who can "Set the Captives Free!"
