I walk the path of knowing
living in the not-knowing,
death as the mother of memory,
the nourisher of dreams
in this confluence of all things
that is the perpetual present.
Comfortable with the not-knowing,
forgetting is for getting.
It makes more room for the god stuff to breath.
That often magnetizes
more good stuff
for more intense breath,
for more intense forgetting,
for getting
the good.
Is health simply integrated armor?

Are We
A Walk Of Self With Mont St. Michel, Temple in (Wo)Men From Sacral to Crown. All (c) for images credit goes to respective Photographer.
Are we all the unmoved mover?
Do we all move like entering Mont St. Michel?
The scheduling danger of coming and going.
Too attached to your plans?
Cool, I suggest to not attend the visceral,
experiential feast that is Mont St. Michel then.
Though, if fluid,
and not going with the flow,
as only dead fish go with the flow,
do you tack the sailboat of your life
with fluid fluency
into the wind?
Back and forth navigating forward into the intensity,
do you move from depth
to heights
to rise up and open yourself
like a corporeal cloister?
Once Said
Christian Norbert-Schulz once said:
How does a building stand on the ground?
How does it extend to the sides?
How does it open and close?
How does it reach for and zipper with the sky?
To which I will add,
How does it feel?
What Are the Consequences Of Feeling?
Well, ice crystal recording devices can be a cool gig.
Look What Can Happen
To the top of your car
when you come home
in butt-ass cold one winter evening
as the sun sets
after a 30-minute drive
after giving a Tarot reading
that fills you with,
This is why I do this,
and discover THIS the next morning.

And, in so doing
I abduce,
I draw out...
Yesterday evening.
I drew The Emperor,
and said nothing.
That spoke volumes to me,
That I said nothing.
Just sat,
feeling Silence.
That spoke volumes to me,
the Architect.
Too attached to form.
Too attached to results.
Too drawn.
Too specified.
Too dimensioned.
Place established,
I now care less about dimensioning beauty.
It’s time to over-listen,
and in whole-body listening,
underspeak,
as I feel into my Silence,
as I listen to others.
I Currently Have 6 Favorite Quotes
I have six favorite quotes in no particular order.
They all orbit together
in my Idea Solar System
as they do at any given time.
Currently,
they are all Rx,
stationed,
powerful as they sit and emanate.
Retrograde, Rx, is a stationing,
a sitting planted strongly,
the intensity
of the focused power
of patience.
Mercury Rx?
Downshift.
Re-sync to the new tach level.
Dial in

Mercury Rx in Mars Rx?
We might need a new transmission soon.
Till then,
shift n corner differently as only you can.
Your Life, Your Way.
It’s not no better time than the present.
The present is perpetual.
What am I,
What are You,
going to do with all this future in front of us,
Now?
Death may be the Mother of memory,
and Nourisher of dreams,
though
Now
is always the time.
I chose The Tower.
I drew The Tower.
I had already created and made The Tower.
Though, now?
World-altering?
Nope.
World ALTARing.
Sometimes,
when it appears that everything fell apart,
did everything simply fall in place
for the first time
outside the bounds
of your expectations?
Inspect your expectations.
Has your life simply come together
for the first time
in a way you are full-on unfamiliar with?
It can certainly induce a startle.
Fortunately, I run towards gunfire.
I tack the sailboat into the wind
square my shoulders to face
the time
in the space
of this place
now unconcerned with form and results
with Self.
Be yourself. I hear everyone else is already taken.
~ Oscar Wilde
I Currently Have
I currently have six favorite quotes:
Symbolic representation and imagistic writing are the pure hieratic forms of esoteric expression. Through symbolism, and through it alone can we read the thought of the Ancients. It is only through the symbolical that we will be able to coordinate the known elements of this great civilization and that the writing may take on its true meaning.
If you don’t read the paper each morning, you’re uninformed. If you do, you’re misinformed.

I’ve posted about my Tarot in the Land of Mystereum: An Imagination Primer, Schiffer Publications 2011, in a lot of ways. I’ve done a Process of Sequencing IndividuationTarot Psychology synopsis with the Majors, and a 9-Part Tarot Birth Card Series. I’ve done a series of the Presence of the (insert Major card) series going through how in the Land of Mystereum each of the Majors visit and cameo in many of the Minors to bring lineage into the power of the Minors, give them higher octaves readily present without playing the implication game with things unseen. There’s been The Soul Seat Heartfelt Silverback Hierophant where instead of the Hierophant on a bad day, the stubborn and unbending traditionalist, the Hierophant is seated AS active wisdom born of life experience. There have been to 10-Part Mystereum Tarot Moments short, around 1 minute or less, videos For the Pentacles to date. About to resume on the other 3 suits… uh hem, 9 years later.
So, Today
Here are the Wands WITHOUT the perspective and bents of me describing them with words so you can dive in and see for yourself what the Land of Mystereum Wands are all about. No tour guide theme. No intent, ahhh especially no intent from when I was creating and making them. They graduated from me. Now, they speak for themselves in the ways they’ve grown to speak to you, your way. If there are caption comments in the images, simply click for a large view. I imagine the caption will scale out of being text graffiti that interferes with the larger image. What do the Mystereum Wands say to you?
Intention is over-rated. It is simply vastly more important the way an idea or intent comes across. Can be the heartbeat pulsing actions to life, though the actions are going to speak louder than the intent words.
Intention is over-rated. It is simply vastly more important the way an idea or intent comes across
~ Jordan Hoggard at a BBQ in 1993, Denver Colorado. Thanks Joe B. for writing the 1st sentence of the 1st part on your white board. Otherwise, this statement would have most likely been lost.
Enjoy the Mystereum Wands with my words shed like chaff from wheat in the wind. All image. All your perspective. Personally, my Minor Arcana order is Pentacles, Wands, Cups, Swords. Mostly, due to it takes all elements to put a sword together from earthly materials, to fire and smelting and melting and forging and and folding and annealing ( or not if pre-mature), to water set up clean for quenching in the quickening douse to temper… to air… to… make a sword. May be limiting. May be expansive. AN order that may be able to be shed like chaff from wheat in the wind. The snake its skin shedded. The snake, its skin not missed.

cosmic grooves, eternal hope, inspiration
LIbrary of Esoterica by Jessica Hundley. Taschen Books, 2020
lying high up in the mountains,
where is brewed the thunder
and in fair weather
the dragon sleeps.
Ours is not a lot to be feared. The dragon is a necessary beast
immeasurably deep.
juvenilis puerilis vanitas ostentatio jactatio
Feel Your Prescience
Feel your safety on your holy ground.
Suckle on the myth of your goodness
in those cruciform places you hold sacred,
while I suckle
on the rest of humanity.
We do not follow you to those places
as we cannot
do those things which are conquerable,
and simply cannot bear those places where you sing.
Those places do not protect you.
Enslaved gargoyles,
traitors to us lest their unknowing feet
entrained in those stone shoes that you fashioned,
and an occasional bellringer stroking them
as they drone high above your path,
where the wind is stronger than the scent of your life,
keep us circling above,
intent on your storied portals,
those lists of the best tasting among you.
Angels. You misname them.
They are simply prettier to you
than their gargoyle siblings
held down by those enslaving prison-shoes of stone
that you call cathedrals.
You should know,
there have been sly ones among you.
Those tricky Nassenes for instance,
knowing that in our vanity we will not touch our young,
as we, too, find them abominable,
stole away with nine of them,
worshipping them as they grew,
carrot-leading them:
You are perfect as you are . . .
Grow strong not beautiful . . .
Help keep us safe . . .
Up there you can see eternity.
Live up there . . .
Turn to stone, it is strong . . .
Ignorant of their heritage,
of their eventual grace and stealth and eternity,
they were taught to perceive a strength and power
in your piles of stone conveniently shaped.
Behold Us!
We are strong and beautiful.
Can you resist us?
Gaze into our eyes and see inside your universe.
Touch our skin of winter,
and feel the heat of your passion
pulsing in the silence of our bodies.
Peeking through the wonder piquing,
can you resist us,
knowing that all we want
is simply your entire life for just a moment?
Your silent guardians sometimes stir
inside their stoney sleep
still unborn into a life
where they would eventually die into their own eternity.
They lie dormant far above you,
and nightly we circle.
Nightly the bell-ringer.
Nightly they stir far above you.
It is not fire or lightning
that occasionally rips the towers from your cathedrals.
Keep eating your garlic.
We will help you stop sinning more quickly
if you are spiced up a bit.

Who
is to free the prisoners
when sand sleeps
in the eternity of the tilted hourglass?
Acrolid
futilis frivolus vanus futilitas
Memory
fascinates her clock each night
with innocence
and a stake,
while the potent scent of predatorial bliss
that permeates the air each dusk,
sends this lionesse back over the horizon,
sending her away from this sleeping cobra,
never staking
as we are each others’ claim...
Sends this lionesse back over the horizon to sleep
each night just before I wake.
How many centuries will this go on?

So, it has come to my attention, from me to myself, that I have an important task. What is that task you ask? To promote my work more openly. And, that comes with a wonderful caveat, again self-issued. This blog will no turn into some buy me buy me buy me from my products and services, though I need to do more than only promote ImaginAction and the like my my Self-Sponsor footer.
All That Said
All that said, I am simply going to take the concept of a full and fulfilling vessel and dial in Promotions to a single blog post each week on the same day. That way, if you’re here for my blogs and to explore community through my Serendipity Itineraries posts, you’ll see Promotion or something similar, don’t know the name yet, and you can mark as read and trash the email so it doesn’t become spam. Heck, once a week isn’t a whole lot, may not be enough, though since this is my life’s work, I’m going to start it out that way. Plus, it’ll get me off the hook to have to continually advertise, and on the hook for the continual banner of writing and feeling my way around my work.
“Reflections” (c) 2009 Jordan Hoggard
Dragon wings gift the day after + the interdependency of us all in Reflection, each of us a landed Moon for the others.
So,
So, I simply felt on this Sunday Services post to share so you’re aware. We all have to make a living, and I’m thoroughly grateful for all of you being here as I just fell into the ablution pool of I have 300 subscribers now. Thank you to each of you here. You make it worthwhile, and I appreciate that.
I simply thought you all should know, so it doesn’t feel like a T-Bone of Oh Shit, he went into advertising mode. Simply, once a week, and I may actually simply make it a Page rather than here on my Posts. I don’t know yet, though Promotion moved from low orbit working on it to landing as I bring my Divination Studio towards being full boat all digital.
Call it Covid Blessings. I have been able to connect more deeply with the professional Jungian Depth Psychology community and as well Tarotists and Astrologers and Philosphers and all you coolio people around the world through Zoom through this There will be no new normal time. We adapt, and continually normalize into pace as we naturalize in the garden of our lives.
There Came A Time
There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.

Now
Now, is that time for me. The High Priestess and Sophia with her Seven Pillars. Two living arm pillars planted in the ground In the High Priestess. The Meridian of Her Self as the visceral 3rd where the marriage in the heart meets. One emanation each from her shoulders, and one each from Her expanding beyond body in her Draw Down The Moon ritual where she becomes one in Conception with the Universe. There might be 8 when the Pillar of the Earth itself is revered. Though, sometimes it’s time to stop counting the steps and just dance like no-one’s watching.
Thanks for being here.

Your October 9th, 2020 SI, with the Moon Direct in Cancer since 11:45A 10/8. The Moon will continue its travel through Cancer to enter its next Void of Course Astro Sign Lunar Synapse Saturday 10/10 at 12:04p and emerge Direct in Leo at 8:24p 10/10. It will continue Direct through the weekend until diving into its next Void Of Course Psychic Astro Sign Synapse on 10/12 at 10:29a, to emerge Direct again on 10/13 at 12:56a in Virgo. All times given are EST In the USA.
Take the energetic Aries opportunity to engage in things that amplify your energies, things you are passionate about. I would suggest that the meditation is to embrace the heft balance to stay in your lane so to speak so your higher octave Aries energies emanate rather obliterate. Out of your lane might be like bumper cars or Pachinko balls bouncing around all over. In your lane and breathing deeply may stoke your Inner fire with the good stuff of You.
Nevermind mastery. Mastery leads to further discovery, and Aries can sharpen your points through expert skill in play. It’s advised to keep an extra sheath around, though. I suggest to light a candle that you do not blow out in a fire-safe place.
Notice all the little people up and down HieroDood… wisdom, new spirit, activation, down-to-earth spirit
Excellent Birth Card Pair to continually embrace big changes as you engage with your established identity. Even if these are not Your Tarot Birth Cards, it can be a great exercise to explore them as if they were and see what new perspectives you discover, and what intense energies that oppose one another you harness for your Higher Good.
How can you World-Altar your life with your down-to-earth spirit that magically mixes with balance? I suggest to not get lost in that. There’s always a way. I say, Don’t waste trouble. Jodorowski put it better at a higher octave when his Chariot spoke and said, I made a diamond out of my misfortune. Taken that way, the intense heat and pressures of the world can be World-Altaring instead to…. What diamond do you make with the pressures of your life?
I say, Don’t waste trouble. Jodorowski’s Chariot said, I made a diamond from my misfortune. With Mindfulness in troubled times how do you embrace your established inner light to activate effective actions? How can you exhale The Nemesis of Beauty Asphyxiator of anxiety so it doesn’t smoke out your inner fire?
I refer to the 5 of Pentacles as the Inspect Your Expectations card. Rather than pity or shame or guilt or loss, how can you look past that to the higher octave of your warm and established inner light, Your Inner Hearth? How can you look past the blind spots and illusions and mirages of what you expect to see, and see and experience what is really there? Justice and The King of Swords are a great pair of allies to explore that question With the 5 of Pentacles.
What messages do Justice (VIII or XI depending on how you roll) and The King of Swords Gift to you for your 5 of Pentacles?

Tarot Voice Prompt Exercise
How do YOU harness intense energies in real time? Record yourself speaking about The Chariot and/or Temperance and/or The Hierophant and/or the 5 of Pentacles. Close your eyes and play yourself back. Listen deeply to your voice and what you hear even more than what you said. What do you hear, and how does it come across to you? Do you hear anything new? What do the highs and lows of your voice tell you? What about the flow? Dance like no one’s watching, click record, and speak like no one’s listening. Share what happens if you like.
Writing Prompt Exercise
Look out the window. Go Inside and look out the window… look out the window of yourself (Temple of You) for 1min 06sec, and record yourself on your phone or a tape recorder again doing the above, or Morse Code, however you roll. Ask yourself: What do I craft from the pressures in my life? How do you allow this inform your perspective? What will you do about it?
This Week intense energies that I harnessed were published yesterday. My article The Kintsukuroi of Self was published in Issue 35 of The Tarot Association’s Tarosophist International Magazine.* I’m stoked with the honor, and beyond pleased with the quality of their presentation. Thank you Marcus Katz and Tali Goodwin and the Tarosophy Team!
* Members only magazine. No tease. Just to let you know. I suggest to check out the Tarosophy Tarot Association.
Again, This Week, A Meditative Suggestion in Regards to This Week’s Music Selections
Rather than listen to the words as being from one person to another, or the artist to you or to another, will you allow the words to be yours spoken to you and your internal community? As if a play produced about you? Some of them may fall flat and not apply. Then again, some may spark something inside with this listening exercise. Dance along to your play if you feel to. Give it a go, and see what happens when you turn poetry/lyrics inward to speak to yourself as if they originated from you to you. I played with Silence this week, so the music is the same as last week’s. Listen or hop right over it with Silence and dig into the intensities in everyone’s blogs this week.
A Blast From The Past: 2014
So, here’s what you car might look like the next morning in the winter from your energy after a WONDERFUL marathon 4-hour Reading the day before and a 30-minute drive home. Love the Baby Dragon Wings border and living flows across the Moon Roof.

Here We Go into Your Serendipity Itinerary for October 9th
Serendipity Itinerary Sites
There are excellent new posts this week! Think you’ve seen them before? Me, too. Then, there was this week. The vibe, like the world, is all over the place, to each their own. All similar, each unique. My image is splashing in the water. Just splash and splash and let the splash be… unless you’re in Oz or South Africa. Then, do that in a pool. I wouldn’t;t want you to hear dangerous cello music in the ocean. Du Nuh…
I suggest take 2 you are familiar with and revisit their current posts. Then, I-Ching ’em and run your own Serendipity Itinerary to 2 that are new to you. Another great week. Prepare this month to not waste trouble. The stars and planets are menacing if you let them be, and magical allies if you OWN them. I suggest to not take shit this week from the stars. Turn around and see where they are coming from. Your perspective might shift to your benefit. Breathe out and take out your broom to clean sweep anxiety out! Fear is like Inner Iolite, the Nordic Compass. Use it as awareness, and please do take care not to let anxiety hijack it from you to jack it into being afraid. SHIELDS UP for the rest of the month! Make it so!

About Martha: After thirty years teaching writing in San Diego, in 2014, I returned to live in my home state, Colorado. I live in the remote, beautiful and mysterious San Luis Valley.

It starts with a wicked cool image, and keeps going from there.

Susi Bocks ~ I Write Her. My words for Susi’s writing go something like this. You talk a good game, Dood, but can you (Susi) Bocks? Concise might even be too long a word. The consistency of depth here is… well, I have a deep respect for how much she does with so little and its never sparse. Muscular and powerful language. I’d call her the Bruce Lee of words.
Enjoy the DNA of our Solar System as it moves along its 230-million year orbit around our Milky Way galaxy. Credit to A.T. Mann for sending me this years back when he was a guest on my Inner State Highways internet TV show. Hmmm, I miss doing that. Well, I might want to do something about that…
This is such a cool creation about the larger creation we live our own orbits within, and looks like the DNA orbits within us as well. Go figure. Know thyself and know the universe just took on a simple tone as well.
Helix and DNA strands anyone? There’s such a wonderful Who let the dogs out? Us, our world and solar system itself in orbit.

LIbrary of Esoterica by Jessica Hundley. Taschen Books, 2020
Trace the hidden history of Tarot in the first volume from TASCHEN’sLibrary of Esoterica, a series documenting the creative ways we strive to connect to the divine. Artfully arranged according to the sequencing of the Major and Minor Arcana, this visual compendium gathers more than 500 cards and works of original art from around the world in the ultimate exploration of a centuries-old art form.
I took this spread in stages. Lately, I’ve had more Major Arcana showing up than not. That indicates an important time in my life — please steal that idea into your readings as a free reading tip..
So, I approached this reading as a Turbo Reading, though took the time to allow it to steep. Call it a Hybrid in respect of the way it’s particular identity presents.
One, were more Majors going to continue to show up? And two, if they were I was going to be DAYum sure to receive the gift of the message as a long-form intensity to recalibrate, and not a BAM of a one-hit wonder.
Over the Summer and this Fall I’ve had a grouping of Major honors come together, Oscars of sorts in the Divination Community. That in itself provides a quality of reinforcement to enhance and strengthen the way I receive my readings when I read for myself. It is an important time in general. It is an important time, personally. I both respect that and steep in it. And. I also do not sit idly for it to pass me by. Surf your celestial groove, BayBEE.
In Regards to the Public Version
In regards to the Public Version of this spread’s notes. I will not go into goals and action items and implementation procedures for the personal policy I write for myself. I am leaving it at the level of the initial Turbo Reading with the intent to share. Some may be able to mine it for gold about our current time. My stuff is great for me, though might not resonate in any way in general with another except to induce interference patterns. So, I kept the notes to the scale of the initial Turbo Reading.
Co-Creation on the Fly
So, the Quaternal Journey of the Emperor spread, a co-creation on the fly in an Albuquerque Tarot Tribe Meetup Session With several of us, was a collaboration that I felt to participate in personally By utilizing it for this reading. Hey! Fresh bread is excellent for a set-you-up-for-success sandwich — add the Dill Havarti to the Roast Beef with Brown Mustard, etc.
The below Turbo Reading notes come from the discretion of Client Privilege. I am my own client here, so this is even more than I would convey from client readings, as those are private without question. They are theirs. Though, this is mine. In this important time in my life and in the word I feel to share this spread result so that others in the DIvination Community or Community at large might benefit.
To Dial In To Life Kintsukuroi Style
The Quaternal Journey of the Emperor Spread sets up a 4-card reading. So, last week I sat down to dial into it just in advance of and into the Full Moon*. (See “ clarification below). I drew the 1st 4 cards. I steeped in them. I usually draw a clarifier card for Majors to activate them more as the Majors are Archetypes, and I draw until I get something other than a Major to dial into actionable gigs to generate daily/weeklymonthly/annual action items dependent on the Minor’s element.
On a recent blog it came to me that, Well, OK! As I continued to draw Majors to clarify a Major. You EverReady Bunny Majors! This can only go on for another 19 more cards as I already have 3 Majors in this reading, 2 even to clarify the last Major. Excellent smile born of that. That spread is Available here. I love the experience of that spread, am still working with it in tandem with this one.
Back to the Point
Back to the point of this 3rd in this series to publicly track through a spread so people can watch something be built.
Set the Concrete Foundation Forms Over a Week-ish
10/1/20 I drew the 4 cards. Major in the spread, and another Major as the final card. I decide to let that steep. Give it the proper reverence in Silence and pause and directly work with it.
10/4 I draw 2 cards to clarify the last Major of the initial draw. I also let that steep. I give those the proper reverence in Silence and pause and directly work with them to steep and incorporate and outline my actionable gigs from them. This feels like making a soufflé. SO much prep work for the final 45 minutes in the oven. Good stuff. Isn’t the prep work almost the more important stuff? I mean, seriously. Aren’t you then dealing with your whole life up to that point? I don’t know about you, though I certainly work that way. The present is the tip of the iceberg, and I’m always surprised that metaphor doesn’t melt with the rockin’ forces in play.
10/6 I draw the card for the QueenS and how he Queens support The Empress and the way those Empress energies actively burst forth into my life.
And, Here is the Foundation. Concrete Poured into the Forms, and It Now Begins To Cure
That curing is a 28-day process, Many things occur between now and then, though here is the initial formwork that received the concrete pour of my card draws. The goals and implementation procedures I will actionably craft to set myself up for success with this are private, my own. Though again, I feel this particular reading provides a great, experiential teaching tool and was simply too experiential for others not to benefit. So, there;s the rationale for the share of a personal reading.
How Do You Craft the Chapter Headings of Card Indications When You Turbo Read This Spread?
Oh, the * above in regards to the Moon Above. It is technically not a Blue Moon with two Full Moons in this month. To clarify, a Blue Moon is when there are four Full Moons in a 3-month season. That necessarily indicates a month will have two, though as well there may be a month without one. Technically, a Blue Moon is the 4th Full Moon in any given 3-month Season cycle. I love that I cross-checked mySELF into the Blue Line wall last week when I discovered I’d had that wrong for over 2 decades. Hail clarity of vision. Always complete, never finished. Cool to learn something!

I would suggest that the meditation here is to embrace the Music and lyrics and experience all of your perspectives with out engaging any. And, then listen with a choice to listen with one of your perspective themes engaged.
Digital Daggers ~ The Demon Within
~ I suggest the Demon Within is anxiety. Can you stand sovereign inside when inner demons arise to T-bone you and simply raise your inner eyebrows and give them The Look? They are certainly younger than you, though they may have joined the Archetypal A-Team and engaged untold power. Well, they’re within you, so that power is yours to harness right? ~
I refer to the 7 of Pentacles as The Soul Gardener Card, an Inner Tree of Life. Wald Amberstone refers to the 7 of Pentacles as The Depth of Above — note the back foot in the RWS deck out over the clouds not on the ground. Hence, a Depth of Above, a Soul Gardener of You. And, in the Tarot in the Land of Mystereum 7 of Pentacles? Enter through the architectural border portal. Gaze through the foliage down to the sky. Where’s the character? Where’s the person? Well, that would be you! Even in a card with no people, there is still one… You. What do you do to Soul Garden?

A Meditative Suggestion in Regards to Music
Rather than listen to the words as being from one person to another, or the artist to you or to another, will you allow the words to be yours spoken to you and your internal community? As if a play produced by you about you? Some of them may fall flat and not apply. Don;t engage because they are simply there. Discern without judgment.
Then again, some may spark something inside with this listening exercise. Dance along to your play if you feel to. Or Laugh. Or Cry. Or go Silent and Be. Give it a go. See what happens when you turn the framing and windows and doors and hearth of poetry/lyrics set on a music foundation inward to speak to yourself as if they originated from you to you, You as Your Inner Architect.
Digital Daggers ~ Nothing’s Broken
Au/Ra ~ Dance in the Dark

Soul Gardener Gardening
It’s always a process, isn’t it? Be fluid, though don’t go with the flow. Dead fish go with the flow. Can you adapt and push back into yourself… for what you were meant to be? Actionably, and profitably? Tall order? So is having people deliver food to you all the time. What can you do for yourself now? Where can you step up to own your best gigs?
Well, I’m tuning my compass and pencil which were my Sword and my Wand before for Kintsukuroi of Self, had been since I was 14. Wow, I’d ask where 38 years went, though I’ve lived and experienced and embraced them. No need to get all Hierophant on a bad day. Heck, wouldn’t that mean Santa won’t come this year?
Transforming the way I utilize my primary tools… Excellent stuff. Some stuff doesn’t chaff off in adaptation like a snake its skin shedded, a snake its skin not missed… for, look at all the pretty refreshed colors.
Transforming how I use the magical tools on my table. Best to your adaptation as well.
I The Magician… the Black Crucible upside down cup of the big bowl vessel of the night sky

Notice all the little people up and down HieroDood… wisdom, new spirit, activation, down-to-earth spirit
Soul Gardener Gardening
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
That nurtured
new life, place-making, enthusiasm
Brand new mental influence, seeing a point, sticking to the point
What Tools of Yours?
What Tools of yours do you keep and adapt, and VIGOROUSLY transform in almost vigilante style?! Not really vigilante, though, is it when you Frank Sinatra them and shift accordingly to adapt your tools your way is it? Can you drive a stick? If not, I suggest an internet foray to kneel at The Google Oracle, and at least get the concept of gearing in. Advanced people who like dialing in to the BAM of the clicking into the Audi R8 transmission gears of life? Oh yeah, go Google The Isle of Man, my fave race on earth. You may get some Irish Dancing of the mind coupled with Digital Daggers to juice your insta-dial of the throttle. Then again, Silence has to stick around, Tom huh? I find that a good thing. I have to say it.
There will be no new normal.
Can you stop waiting? Where’s your VROOM in your adaptation? Can you re-start now so your later will thank you?
Do You
Do you adapt for the NOW? With all this future in front of us, what will you do with all of the future in front of you… Now?! How do your current tools steep in transformation to continue to provide self-support differently post-adaptation?
Can You Reset Your Magical Table?
Where does your shrimp fork go? Where do YOU go?
Close Your Two Eyes to Open the 3rd… so, You’re Still Intensely Here…
