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 not 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. That said, I can do NO less than simply present some AMAZING-WILL-MOST-LIKELY-GIUVE-YOU-ABUTION-TINGLES cascading through you. So, enough about ME! Wassup with dat?!!!!!
All That Said
“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 two video EXPERIENCES I have had. The intent? That maybe you will be glad I shared these experiences with you. That’s it! Enjoy!
Listen, and Connect With Yourself
There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
~ Anais Nin
If, of course that’s the way these strike you…
Thanks for being here. Best to YOU being you… and, enacting Your Best Self…
This next one is dedicated to You. Enjoy, in only the way You can…
Death is the Mother of memory, the organic fertilizer that nourishes dreams, ideas, intuitions, imagination.
What message do I have for myself from this experience?
Feel it. Hear it inside. GIve its resonance space to expand until it settles. Now, say it.
Keep it.
Pansies Are…
Dead-head your pansies in your garden, or pots, or urns, or wherever you have them. It’s a verdant gesture to keep them thriving and vibrant. There’s so much cool color when you do. So much cool color ALL the time. Dead-head the flowers as they start to wilt and drop them to the base of the plant. Death will then be the Master Gardener to nourish. Death, the mother of memory, will fertilize future flowers’ dreams. Dead-head, and that energy can go into the soil, and the energy that was going to that flower will strengthen the remaining full flowers and new growth.
Pansies are delicate, though they are hardy. Pansies in the garden are no weaklings. Pansies are SO not pansies. Trauma works like pansies to a degree…
Perspective
So many times after an intense experiences passes, I feel there is a tendency to say, Phhuuuuueeewww. Glad that’s over. Run away! Like Monty Python. Run away! Run away!
Is it. Is it over? Is the experience really over? Or, is The End really Just The Next Beginning? Or, is the over simply that we escaped with our life? Or, escaped to be emancipated with more life, more of ourself revealed, now more evidently present?
Maybe, instead of Glad that’s over, somewhere along the line I’ve learned to dwell IN the experience while it was still fresh just afterwards, and then not have to dwell on it as some nebulous unresolved why-dafuq-do-I-get-triggered-that-way by who knows what that reminds me subtly enough that I don’t groc it until too late, for years to come.
Feel into trauma and experience wise in time or just after. Own it. Listen to its message. Allow it to integrate itSelf on its own terms. Continue WITH it as a new asset. Feel your empathy tuned up a notch in so doing. Respect and resonate in powerful witness with the trauma messenger inside. Be grateful to the person who triggered you BEFORE you act out driven by the trauma and not the totality of what you were the moment before. Express, Thank you for digging just there. I need to breathe and feel into that. ANd, if they are a solid friend comfortable in their own skin, they’ll understand, maybe even silently stay with you for the short vigil while you acclimate to the trauma re-surfacing, powerfully and respectfully and grateful listen to it in all its ferocity and candor and quiet subtleties.
Once Your Trauma Has
Once your trauma has re-acclimated to you as well — its birth to peel off from you to protect you and bleed off overload in the system and become a disconnected Part and be buried deep inside may Be the last time it saw you — get re-acquainted, and do so allowing the Part to lead. Don’t poison it with any words or expectations or presumptive putting words in its mouth. Allow it to speak, and do so on its own time rather than yours. The 1st session with a Part may simply be an awareness of one another session. Each encounter is different. It may leave and come back to check in later. Minutes. Days. Years. Simply reserve a place At your table for it when it presents each time.
Amending The Soil
It feels like fingers in black earth while amending the soil in the garden. If, just for a moment, I honor myself enough to be silent and still, not frozen, not in shock, silent and still, when I feel into the intense experience after I have washed up on the shore on the other side after the storm I’ve experienced has broken, I can feel-discern with a fresh clarity of vision in a new perspective framed by the experience before it evaporates. And, it informs me. It gifts me the message of my experience while it’s still fresh, instead of disappearing inside to become a trigger where the trauma is always kept fresh.
“Reflections” (c) 2005 Jordan Hoggard
Still Near It, Fresh
Still near it, fresh and wet behind the ears from my birth from The experience, before it’s truly past trauma, still focused by it and immersed in it rather than by me, a bit still hanging toes in the unconscious semi-liminal, it or I may gift myself a message from the experience before I fully step back over the trauma prison of Inner Beyond to here. Psychologists have plenty of titles for this. That’s cool. Creativity is not a diagnosis or a malady or a disorder. The only titles that matter to me are Tarot Reader and Author, Astrology Reader and Author (by Blog), Artist, Poet, Writer, Alchemist, Architect, someone who is Alive. Bold. Courageous. Caring. Empathic without being mushy… unless of course we have our toes in the mud… to grow a Lotus from the mud in joyous and as-if-without-thought-or will sandbox garden.
Fearlessness
Fearlessness doesn’t apply here. I have plenty of fears. I simply don’t let anxiety kidnap them and torture and distort them into making me afraid. Guess that helps get off the mountain when those torrentially experiential storms come in rain-singing, Nature’ll kill ya. Keep breathing, and you’re still alive so you’re still a problem. Keep breathing. Nature’ll kill ya. Nature’ll kill ya. And, Nature will make you stronger when you relive yourself of the excess, when you deadhead the pansies in the Soul Garden so they keep thriving more and more strongly towards perennial naturalization each year.
I’d stay in that place as long as it took, not running for dear life to get as far away as possible, certainly not frozen, quite the contrary. Not fight or flight or freeze. Aware. Still. Focused. Patience is not docile or omissive. Patience is concentrated strength.
To In-dwell, To Enact
I in-dwell in the feelingsense home of the space, of the place, of my recent, intense experience. Sometimes 5 seconds. Sometimes an hour. Sometimes decades cycling around through its paces throughout my psyche. No deadline, no expectation. I simply make serendipitous stumbles in meditative momentS moving forward in a powerful and respectful witness of what just occurred. I don’t waste trouble.
Memory illuminating forward, inner light, perspective from experience, silent awareness
techne, making, putting together fully, giving form to the formless, Inner Guardian
magical mixing, integrated balance, vibrant duet
vision, genius, poetry, madness, reflection from unseen sources
new life, place-making, enthusiasm
Visual process of powerfully witnessing trauma to welcome it back home and integrate it
And, I do that until I’ve psychic-gold-panned past the experience’s rough geode exterior to see beyond the rawness in the moment to the refined, potent message. I see into to the colorfully kaleidoscopic, living crystal, juicy gemstone, geode interior. And, the message comes as my head begins nodding. Almost without fail. Almost without fail is an acceptable risk to me.
I’ve had historical friends for as long as I can remember. Sometimes they are spectators, sometimes assistants, sometimes colleagues, and sometimes I’m the spectator when I Engage in process towards the message with something like: What would my friend Fred do?; How would my friend Bill B handle this?; What does CG‘s ‘Red Book’ have to offer?
How Do You Keep It?
Who Are Your Historical Friends?
How Can They Help You Today?
How do I keep it? I keep it with an open palm up to the sky where it would nestle in my hand. No closing my hand and holding tight white knuckling to possess it. That suffocates things. Embrace it. Embrace the person or thing as a talisman, a talisman of THEMself on their terms. No need to digress into Psychological Projection or Projective Identity. Those two are the horseshit born of not owning your own stuff.
How do I embrace and meet up with inner, geode messages?
Open handed, reciprocal figure to ground touch, the Both/And touch of the Yin-Yang, the apogee master violin bow single-stroke bindus connecting inhale and exhale, forming breath as prayer. That’s how I embrace and meet up with these inner, geode messages.
Adversity doesn’t build character. It reveals it. ~ James Lane Allen
Be there. Be present. The present is perpetual.
Boundaries that create separation simply induce self-imposed anxiety. Boundaries that establish identity and distinctions can dance and immerse in one another without dissolution. I love swimming. I love swimming immersed with another and their uncut intensities even more. Fun stuff.
Then, if you‘re still alive, keep it.
And, saturation needn’t be drowning in the distress of a situation. Like a high performance, high speed, X-rated radial tire — rated for speeds over 134 mph, it’s on you to take responsibility for how far you take it above that… they’re not concerned about a court case at that level above 200 mph as that’s on you top make sure — you and your tires are filled up to 33 psi for stability, and maybe dropped to 32psi for added grip in the turns in the cold? Yes. Vrooom, shift n corner, baby! Shift n corner TOGETHER!
Message Gifts Kept
From your experiences, what gems of messages have you mined to keep?
They are yours, I respect that, and ask that you do as well. No need to comment them here. Please comment only IFF if and only if you care to and are full-on comfortable to share them. Otherwise, they are yours to tune your Soul’s liquid silence with the resonant chords of you and nurture the healthy boundaries of the Royal Castle Around You forming you as Presence As Architecture, or whatever you decide you do with… (Hey presumption, get the effa outa here and know when to shut dafuq up)
May I suggest that Your Presence Is Architecture, Presence As Architecture. Keep it. Upkeep it. Nourish its powerful limits and boundaries. Fly as high as your roots go deep. Swim as deep And infinitely as your dreams expand within.
How do you dead-head the pansies of trauma to nourish yourself by respectfully integrating them?
Experience
What Have You Mined, and Kept That You Use to Enact Your Priorities? Does Form Follow Priority? And/Or, Is The Form Simply the Consequence of Your Form-Giver?
I go with the form-giver. Beauty necessarily has some weirdness she’s, some flaws. Otherwise, it’s just pretty. Like quick fixes have shallow roots, pretty is temporary. Beauty endures, as beauty evolves to continually be itself.
You have no responsibility to be who you were even 5 minutes ago. ~ Alan Watts

Broken Bones
I
view
tears as
living, sacred
adornments from within,
a glaze for the cheeks
that
my
emotional
kiln fires into
experiential connections
from inner gold in celebration
that flows up from within to fill
the cracks for renewed wholeness.
Better
for having been broken,
I am continually put back together
without motion-limiting scars.
I am continually put back together
with the golden splendor of connections made.
Healed breaks are sacred adornments.
The broken bone heals stronger.
I heal stronger.
Heal stronger.

A Ship in Harbor Is Safe
A ship in harbor’s safe, but that’s not what ships are for. ~ John A. Shedd
The idea came from a comment a dear friend made this weekend, that this morning sprint-sprouted across my heart as it flowed up and came to mind. Feels more resonant and in alignment with what I do + it feels to speak on its own. Nodding. I like this. I like this a great deal.
I find it helpful to be kind to your Inner Beasties by empathically and fully whole-body listening to them rather than reacting to them. Tarot is a wonderful way to navigate this intense work with a Kevlar Umbrella.
It’s Sagittarius Season, So…
Sag is a double-sign. The Beast And The Divine. How can you embrace both your Inner Beasties and Inner Divinity?
A ship in harbor’s safe, but that’s not what ships are for. ~ John A. Shedd
I Cut
I cut the cord from my Moon conjunct Ascendant (ASC) in 12th House Capricorn to turn and drift and dive and sail my Moon as Hermit of Self to light the way into the depthful 12th House Abyss of the unconscious to celestial-groove surf further within, farther than I have before. In embrace of the not-knowing, I float, levitate rather than uproot… forward in prescient remembrance.
I find it helpful to be kind to your Inner Beasties by empathically and fully whole-body listening to them rather than reacting to them.
They are counterparts and potential allies once heard, and as listened to.
They can naturally integrate as their storms subside. How do they transform to become inner interaction rather than storms, where you can then ask them, “What is your message?”
When they convey it, you will often feel a cascade of ablution tingles in a part of or even throughout you whole body as they dissolve back into their proper, bodily home… to dose you with more of yourself.
I find Inner Beasties to be our Chirons, our Inner Wounded Healers each with their own message from trauma or lineage inheritances, who literally show us the way to healing by their very way of being in our inner world.
Daily, I become Besties with my Beasties. I feel they enliven the power of health in min and body and heart. Mindbodybeautiful I call us all together. Without darkness there can be no light. Without light there can be no darkness. Without both… there is no Self. Jung expressed this in Aion as a primary over-riding rule. If ever C.G. Jung had in what I consider his most insubstantial work that throughly expressed his ALL that there can not be any thing with its other, its sacred Other… it is in Aion. That said. Insubstantial you all but scream? Yes. He goes through 2k-year iterations of saying the same thing from a different context. Nothing. Exists. Without its other! And, that said, I hope you didn’t lean too far as a jester dancing on the edge of the abyss. Aion was the 1st book I ever read that resonated YES, THIS IS SOMEONE I GET ALONG WITH IN MY SANDBOX. It was so immediately natural to my mode of being, my way. It took zero convincing, dialed into the deep knowings I already had, and kaBOOM concussion blasted a wonderful BOOM of expansion and densification at one and the same time. It was 1991. It was just after University commencement. Graduation not being a completion, but a commencement. And. I commenced. I move to commence my move into my own life from then on.
How Can You?
How can you not be bullied anymore by your inner civil wars and conflicts? How can you become besties with a beastie. It’s the season of Sagittarius. Sagittarius is the sign that includes all the signs, is both beast and person in the make or female centaur, half horse and half man/woman or your special pace in between. Sagittarius. Both Beast and Divine at the same time.
Is there a Beastie you can face and rather than be afraid, simply listen to it. Remember, if they hurt you, they hurt their home… You. Not in their best interest. Are you able to stand calmly and face one and ONLY listen like a tree with strong roots smiles in a storm? Some storms rage on for a long time. Some are short bursts of energy. What is part of your dream that’s giving you trouble? Can you face within and call and ask which one would like to come out of the darkness and storm in to be heard? Enjoy the magic of more you if you do.
When there is only darkness,
close your two eyes to open the 3rd,
and look again.
When there is only darkness,
is it because
You are in fact enacting the light?
There Is No Small Beauty
Take Care of the little things.
Even the Big Things
Are little things to the Universe
Within.Use what you have, and you’ll never have a house of cards where you are concerned about the wind.
~ Jordan Hoggard
Trees with strong roots laugh with storms. ~ Malay Proverb
We all have the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine coupled AS our Place of Creation. As a male, I Have a Man-Womb pomegranate-pregnant with ideas, often 10 months on, 10 months off, that oscillates between intense expansion and productivity of moving into wide open, urban, court spaces like Piazza San Marco and then rest and and relieve with the scale-relief of the tight city streets to bompidy bomp to amble my way across the bouncy-bounce bompidy bomp cobblestones in continuance of my continual, life-giving exploration.
What’s Your Place With,
and How Are You Able to Enact,
the Healer of the Wounded Divine Feminine?
I gather the Wounded Divine Feminine may in fact be
the potentially enacted partner of Chiron’s Wounded Divine Masculine.
What can you do?
What can you enact?
So, that as we each enact in the whole,
we enact
to connect together
the life force...
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone. ~ Pablo Picasso
Welcome to Your November 20th, 2020 SI. The Moon move from Aquarius today, Friday 11/20 at 7:49p, as it passes through the Void of Course Astro Sign Synapse Portal. It will emerge Direct on the other side of the cusp between signs in Pisces tomorrow, 11/21 at 11:06p. A day+ is a relatively long Void of Course relative to the Moon’s typical 3 – 6 hour Voids. Your dreams may go deeper during this period of Moon Surrender as I sometimes call it. It surrenders its engagement to naturally enact a rest and relief to be fresh and wholly engage the next sign.
After 11:06p on 11/21 the Moon will continue Direct as it journeys through Pisces, to then dive back under through the Void of Course Portal at 5:44a on Tuesday, 11/24. It will emerge Direct again in Aries on 11/24 at 10:05a. Into the Void Portal again Thursday, 11/26, at 6:46p, and back out of the Void Portal 11/26 at 10:43P Direct in Taurus… and then, we’ll continue the trek with next week’s Serendipity Itineraries, SI for short.
* Note: All times given are EST In the USA.Here is a convenient Time Zone Converter, which is a wonderful tool to be familiar with and more easily schedule your international client sessions.
Void of Course Moon
Void of Course is a bit like a mini-Mercury Rx, though instead of the magnetic drag of Mercury appearing to slow, which advises us to downshift, the opposite happens when the Moon goes Void of Course. Rather than drag, there is a slip, a letting go of the Astro Sign connection to disappear across the synapse of the cusp between signs.
I feel the Void of Course period, the Cusp Crossing makes for a wonderful liminal horizon to surf with a foot on both sides, though I mark it in my schedule to not start new projects during it. When I do, their effectiveness invariably slips away like they didn’t even exist, or they are driving on ice with bald tires.
The Void of Course Moon period carries a sense of float where you may viscerally feel Almost weightless. It’s easy to miss unless you intently feel-listen as it is typically short, several hours to a day. It is as if the impact of projects that start during the Void are all but zeroed out by the MIA Void Moon Lunation Wave Formers.
For all intents and purposes it may feel like a car disengaged by being put in neutral, or when the clutched is step-tapped in and not released. A pause of sorts.
During intense work, creative or otherwise, it may also feel like running up fast in 6th gear only to pass 150mph and discover your car has a US-required speed limiter. The fuel injectors cut out, and the 1st time this happens it felt like OH SHIT, I’m floating barely touching the ground at 150 and only in a 4-cylinder…. HOLY SHIT WTF THIS ISN’T GOOD. A rising sense of terror emerges. You grip the wheel harder. You come off the gas and judiciously start to get into the brakes to lightly step-tap yourself back down until the fuel injectors wake back up. There’s no diving into brakes without the counterbalance of the power that got you there in the Justice of an experience like this.
Yes, there’s a metaphor for life in that. The sudden loss of ALL power at that speed is hellishly un-nerving… and, even more so the 2nd time when you know it’s going to happen. No, 3rd time for me, though. My stubbornness has its own set of powerful limits, its own place of Void of Course. Baseball came to mind, and I decided I would rather make my presentation in Vail than achieve Strike 3 You’re Out. From Denver, it’s typically about 1 1/2 hours to Vail. Suffice it say I had some fun, though within my levels of acceptable risk as I made the trip in 47 minutes. I don’t need or want a repeat performance of that. Though, it sure is a blast to remember. Like any trauma, the feeling re-surfaces fresh and ready to engage. Now, I simply steep a bit with a wry smile and bright eyes as I think, Now, how cool was THAT?!!
Trauma, though directly linked to the time it occurs carries a timeless quality. It tucks away deep inside if not directly addressed wise in time as it occurs. And, when we are triggered, it emerges as fresh as it was when it was born into the psyche. That’s what lives within the phrase, ‘Trauma is always fresh.’ One goal I suggest is to Train yourself to catch the inner flash when trauma is triggered, say ‘Thank you. Hold on a sec,’ as you embrace it within without allowing it to merge with the trigger, whatever triggered it, and as you acclimate proceed back into your conversation. Most often you can revisit it on your own time unless you are with a good friend, at which point I suggest to turn the conversation back in upon the trauma to share it and potentially receive a fresh perspective from them that may help bring it to fully re-surface to empathically listen to towards receiving its message so that it can integrate by re-homing in its proper home in your body. A cascade of ablution Tingles is a common way the integration presents. Note where it went in your body. Smile, and welcome it with thanks. ~ Jordan Hoggard
A more fun And less wordy waffle way to think about Void of Course is to visualize the Moon as it goes Void as those fun and magical, black portal openings in the movie Time Bandits. One minute it’s there and engaged, the next, HEY! Where’d it GO?!! Well, it went somewhere. Reasons are often unreasonable, and a healthy comfortability with the not-knowing allows your surrender to keep the open door welcome on the other side free and clear of obstruction.
During the VoC Moon
I advise to focus on the flow and structure of existing projects you have in the works. We all kind of Evil Knievel float through the air with the Moon temporarily disconnected… though without the experience of all the broken bones when we land on the other side. Inspect your expectations to assure you are not assuming connections that are actually temporarily not in touch with one another in the least.
Once we land on the ramp on the other side of the Astro cusp to emerge in the next Astro sign as the Moon goes Direct… then, refreshed, re-engage the Past-Future-Confluence of the perpetual present anew.
Once Direct we can reconnect our Inner LUNAtic in the next Astro sign and re-engage the creative gearbox. Alternately, if you need something to have the UTMOST discretion or be secret, like planning a surprise Birthday Party, by all means DO start during the Moon’s Void period. It might contribute to the success of the stealth to keep the surprise a surprise. Yes, there are certainly shady ways to apply that, too, though that’s really never been in my Wheelhouse except for in martial arts applications when I explore the power of Silence in motion through whole-body awareness Of the consequence of my feet and toe groundgrabber fingers when I move forward toe-to-heel Instead of the norm of heel to toe when walking or running. In a way the reverse, energetic spin of the motion more clearly generates an awareness of the consequences of actions AS they happen. CRACK goes a twig, and OOPS. Restart.
Take the depth and directness of the clean and stealthy Nothingness of the long Void of Course energy into your weekend. I suggest to team up with surrender rather than hold on. Also, It’s not advised to get caught revving and have the tachometer up to the redline warming things up. You might accidentally sidestep the clutch if your foot slips. Plus, the redline and revving noise just disturbs the Silence, is more than a bit vexatious to the Spirit.
It’s going to be intense, intensely calm. Rather than let down and go amoebic and sloppy in formlessness, there is a lesson in simple Being holding itself together naturally without the crutch of form. Rather than worry or anxiety about falls, instead dial in your focus to your balance of intense things. In one sense it reminds me of the student telling the Buddhist Master they dreamed of falling and falling and getting more and more unsettled. The Master says, Dream that again tonight. This time have a deep knowing that there is no ground. Disengage control. Embrace the experience. Fall farther.
The not-things can get us in trouble all too easily. Personally, I ignore not-things for the most part to more fully focus on the workability so I Don’t waste trouble.
I made a diamond out of my misfortune. ~ Jodorowski’s Chariot speaking
It takes intense heat and pressures to make a diamond. Maybe at the base of infinity within, the heavy darkness get more and more dense, form a weather pattern of singularities that then squeeze density past its Point of Flexure to POOF pop out diamonds that are ejected to the surface.
The flexural strength is stress at failure in bending. It is equal or slightly larger than the failure stress in tension.
During the Void of Course
Focus on established priorities and established launches… even if its simply a walk in the park where you may vividly see and experience something you’ve not seen before. You know? That intensity of ablution tingles when your eyes light up when you discover something that moves you in a cool way.
How can you even up your keel, so that wind the big wind comes you shoot right out in the direction you intended… well, or at least in the range of that direction. There may be some torque that exceeds your grip at first. You;re the driver, though. Dial in to hang in and ride the initial squirrelly movements as your momentum sticks to engage forward movement in big ways.
Here Are 3 Memes For Ideas to Engage Surrender and Engage Void of Course Enactment Guidance
Laughter is the shortest distance between people. ~ Victor Borge
You are not what you say you are going to do. You are what you do. ~ C.G. Jung
Excellent Birth Cards to surf the celestial groove (Star) of your natural, inner animal voice (Strength) in balance with the scales of the Justice of who you really are. Can you, like a Star, brightly bring these qualities and their consequences to bear within yourself to shine and enliven your identity with a heightened clarity of focus and disciplined sense of seeing?
Your naturally enlightened voice from within is an ally than can serve to bring these brightly out in the open as you continually as you continually integrate your Shadow Parts that live and till the garden of your Place of Creation. How can you engage to enact Your Life, Your Way to dance together WITH Shadow as integrated allies contribute together in harmony being at ease with chaos to inner-communally drive your life force?
One must have a chaos in the heart to birth a dancing star. ~ My Friend Fred (Friedrich Nietzche)
A crucial component of these three Archetypes is that they engage inner contents and the unconscious as useful and factual realities. Psychic and intuitive and imaginative and unconscious contents simply provide more facts from within to sacredly couple with what is out here. Even if these are not your Tarot Birth Cards, it can be a great exercise to explore them as if they were. See what new perspectives within yourself you can discover when you do. Have a hard time trusting your intuition? Heck, Mark Twain may have said it best with, Of course truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense. How can you stop making sense and trust your senses with the Strength ~ The Star ~ Justice Tarot Team?
With the Strength ~ The Star ~ Justice Birth Cards, what aspects of your life are uniquely identifiable as yours that can you cycle through to find something juicy to further embrace your alchemy of Self with…? Check out the next 46 seconds of a video for some… hmmm, no spoilers… What chords are struck that resonate with you from this 46sec video? How can you justifiably without sense — simply because you do in a place where reasons are unreasonable — benefit from your Inner Enlightenment or simply Inner Clarity to bring things to full term like the Empress to be birthed into your life and the World?

Alchemical Gold from Transformation. Kintsukuroi of Self. Allow your Inner Splendor to flow up from within and fill breaks and cracks and tectonic fault lines to celebrate your experience rather than make leaded scars from shaming mistakes. Can you call your mistakes OFL? Can you embrace mistakes as your further Opportunities For Learning? I say Don’t waste trouble. Though, Jodorowski amps that up to agency level when his Chariot said, I made a diamond out of my misfortune.
With Mindfulness in troubled times, how do you establish and embrace your established inner light to enhance and align with and in your natural transformation process while you enact a disciplined approach to reverently honor the continual focus of your clarity? Does that question build a sanctuary to enter and explore your sacred Self?
Notice if you begin to feel depletion. If you do, it is often either from mis-spent efforts, slippage, or its time to rest and refuel. Running on fumes will actually expend more energy and tire you out more than running with a full tank.
And maybe think about Mindfulness to help you out. I do not feel that Mindfulness is to empty us out of negative inner influences. More so, that it is for us to face and engage and become besties with our beasties. Danger? Potentially? Sure, sometimes, like life itself. Though, think about it this way. If they harm me, they harm their home. So, I let their storms rage inside when they present themselves. And, as their storm subsides robustly and empathically witnessed by me in reverence Silence, I ask, What is your message?
Once a storm has spent itself, it has often shed itself of all the extraneous marble block parts like Michelangelo liberating David. Then, they can integrate, you might feel a cascade of ablution tingles as they nestle back into wherever their trauma was living in your body as they bring more of You to You with their power as experiential enhancements born of facing your traumas. Or, they don’t integrate, in which case you let them go as if vanished forever, … or, they sidle up right beside you and behind you as another Chthonic Numinosity Light~Shadow Ally of Self. Can’t have too many of those.
Someone asked me last week how long PTSD lasts. A lifetime, was my response. Color that with this, though it lasts a lifetime, it lasts a lifetime in its influence as you transform it over time from Lead to gold, from trauma to treasure. After you face your fears and traumas, work with them, with a Professional is good, they can transform to release and renew you. So, the PTSD part doesn’t really last a lifetime. The PTSD is a point of origin. Its ever-evolving influence as you face and engage and use it is actually what last a lifetime. How can you invest in yourself today? How can you invest in yourself this week? What actions will you take as your initial Self-investment?
I’m full-on pleased that my article The Kintsukuroi of Self was published in Issue 35 of The Tarot Association’s Tarosophist International Magazine Equinox Issue. I’m stoked with the honor and the quality of their presentation. Thank you Marcus Katz and Tali Goodwin, and Charlotte and the Tarosophy Team! Note that the Tarosophist International Magazine is a members-only magazine with public print to resume soon.
Again, This Week, A Meditative Suggestion in Regards to This Week’s Music Selections
Rather than listen to the words and music as being from one person to another, or the artist to you or to another or out to the world, will you allow the words and music to be yours as if spoken and emanated directly from you and your internal community? As if they are a play about a journey produced by you about you, as you most likely know yourself better than anyone else.

Pandora on my Sonos played them in that You Might Like way twice last weekend.

Love it when substance embeds in action! Enjoy!
Here We Go into Your Serendipity Itinerary for November 20th
Serendipity Itinerary Sites
There are excellent new posts this week! Think you’ve seen them before? Me, too. Then, I suggest take 2 sites below that you are familiar with and revisit their current posts.
Where Will Your SI Take You This Week?
cocinaitaly ~ Elganspo, comida italiana. Hungry? Hungry for edible beauty, aesthetic eats? Exquisite is a word. Edibly exquisite is two words. Grab a friend, and go experience this. What will your words be afterwards?
Brene Brown ~ Owning our story and loving ourselves through the process is the bravest thing we will ever do. ”The bottom line: I believe that you have to walk through vulnerability to get to courage, therefore . . . embrace the suck.“ Cool that Brene is a fellow Texan In Houston!
Verdarluz and Jocelyn Mercado ~ Bridging Dimensions Astrotheology Mystery School.Today, we live at the edge of uncertainty. It is at the edge of uncertainty where our most creative inspiration comes alive. ~ Joanna Macy. Personally (me, Jordan), I feel we have always lived at the edge of uncertainty. The world is always about to end in the perpetual present. Though, Verdarluz and Jocelyn Mercado have built a place full of Inner Nature and wonderment and robust experience for action to nourish that birth-n-death perpetual present moment. Check out the soulfully resonant and robust and rockin’ developmental work. Also, here’s a link to Verdarluz CelstiOwl’s Soundcloud music site.
Dr. Jean Raffa ~ Think Psychologically. Live Spiritually. A former television producer and college professor, Dr. Raffa changed directions in midlife to discover and write about her passions. Informed by over 30 years of psychological and spiritual study, her books and teachings guide others to growth and self-empowerment. Red Feather Mind Body Spirit is an imprint of Schiffer Publications who is my publisher. Love the synchronicity that I found her work in the Carl Jung Depth Psychology Reading Group rather than from my publisher. Pretty cool. Great to discover Jean’s work. Also, check out her work at Golden Seeds of Wisdom. I am looking forward to Dr. Raffa’s presentation Sunday, December 6, 2020 at 1:00 pm EST where she will introduce her new book, The Soul’s Twins, which will be published on November 17, 2020. Pre-orders are now being accepted by Amazon.com. You can register for her December 6th presentation here.
Elisa Markhoff ~ The Fiery Angel. Journalist, Researcher, and Iconographer doing wonderful work with the wisdom and Sacred Feminine lineage of Sophia and also Divine Wisdom.
Donald L. (Skip) Conover ~ is creating Videos for laymen about the Collected Works of Dr. Carl G.Jung. Founder of the C.G. Jung Depth Psychology Reading Group. Dive in to the over 1,200 videos he has produced for a healthy dose of rockin’ness. Well worth the time spent, like the length of a great movie. I always come away with something new, and also usually a further fleshed out perspective. Also, Skip, along with Coeleen Kiebert and Tim Holmes are running the Pre-Election Collective Unconscious & Participation Mystique Project which I am participating in. Take a look.
Coeleen Kiebert ~ Navigating the Unmanifest. My art is the expression of a mysterious, quiet story that has within it a line of truth deeper than I am able to see any other way. Often, I wonder how others know what’s going on inside of themselves. How do they know what’s really happening? How do they cope with the deeper meanings of life without an art form to guide them? Doing art is the way I search for this inner truth. The images that appear in the clay lead me to an understanding that is beyond that which I can gain from common reflection. It is a communication with myself and the language is my art. (c) Coeleen Kiebert. All rights reserved.
The Alchemist’s Studio ~ Raku, vessels, Alchemy in action. Pottery with heart and soul PLUS some PUNitive humor to boot. Don’t miss the Hens! Another place of great perspective.
Charlescearl’s Weblog ~ Musings on fascinating things. Important and fascinating things well said. Charles not only thinks things through, he lives them through. You can feel it in his writing. Don’t go for the writing. Go for experience you will remember. Indelible is a word, and a good one with Charles’ weblog. Please share his recent Black in AI 2020 Call for Papers post to magnetize others who might not have otherwise been aware of the opportunity to advance the AI (Artificial Intelligence) community.
Author Melissa Crismon ~ Oceans of Love. Melissa is the author of the MerSea series about a conservationist mermaid. Painting in her mom’s studio, studying modern dance, and playing the pedal harp informed her childhood. A bachelor’s degree in visual and performing arts made sense.

J. Gary Sparks ~ Jungian Analyst. Diplomate, C.G. Jung Institute, Zürich. Through his website he makes resources available for learning and teaching Jungian psychology at all levels. the link is to his wonderful welcome page, and you’ll find his Home Page link at the bottom of the Welcome page.
Martha Ann Kennedy’s Blog ~ I’m A Writer, Yes, I Am! Her recent post Through the Looking Glass from The Global Exclaimer is powerful and full-on apt about this racism disease going around more powerfully in this current time where the Civil War is like the EverReady Bunny just going and going and going — like it seethed under the surface for over a century, the internal war that never ended. 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. All my life, I’ve been a writer. Sometimes, I’m also a painter, but I am always a hiker.
Scott Parker-Anderson ~ Waldina. Waldina was my maternal great-grandmother. Her life story has inspired generations of our family. I write about what inspires me.

We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
Mr. Purrington ~ Carl Jung Depth Psychology. Life, work and legacy of Carl Jung.
Keith’s SecondVoice ~ African Poetry. I found Keith’s work last week. He liked a comment I made on another’s blog, don’t remember which as I clicked right through to his site. Wonderfully powerful, muscular language full of grit and flow and resonance and well-played metaphor that is apt and expressive and clear. Check out Keith’s recent Skyscraper post. It starts with a wicked cool image, and keeps going from there.
Janet Rudolph ~ Feminism and Religion. Thoughtful. Poignant. Meaningful. Janet plays the depths with her tune. Both-And is embraced, and though either/or is not dismissed, it is seemingly most often precluded by her forthright and engaged gesture. Janet posts from a deep well.

I recently received her book and am looking forward to posting a review in the near future. I’m still adjusting to being this busy again, and I’m not going to rush out a review of Laleh’s wonderful work. I’m currently immersed in reading Climbing Over Grit, and without spoilers I can indefatigably express… YES!!!! A more robust review is coming soon, and I so look forward to dial into those words.

Trini Lind ~ Paths of the Spirit. Create a path of Light with your Life. Wonderful perspective. Deceptively simple drawings that I find magically evocative. No one trick pony here.
House of Ari. Sharing a personal exploration of gender in Sweden. Up front and honest and insightful as the experience and process of this self-induced rite of passage unfolds. I respect when people swim in their own crucible to discern and come to a more resonant relationship with themselves. It can be swimming in magma at times, though isn’t that how crystals and geodes are made? Clarity and creativity and actionable feel often come out of strong Soul Gardening such as Ari’s. I look forward to where this exploration leads.

Good stuff there just in the listening to one’s own rhythms and messages. Enjoy Haille’s garden as it grows, becomes perennial, and naturalizes. I for one am looking forward to see where she takes her adventure.
Scott Spillman ~ The Point Magazine. New article, Charismatic Models.(My words follow, these are not Scott’s or the Magazine’s) I loathe politics as the great irony of our time, maybe any time when people who are not personally sovereign can be ruled simply by the sniff of a suggestion. This, is not that.
Joy Vernon ~ Completely Joyous. Tarot & Reiki. Bookmarked for this week as there’s an ICANN issue pending. I’ve been there.

Chthonic Numinosity, depth with no fear of addressing behemoth-level emotional topics through her poetry and evolved wonderment and continual curiosity. She runs deep, and takes the proper gear to do so… herself. I see a chthonic numinosity in her poetry that is akin to night and day stained glass. Well worth the visit. Powerful. Intense. Heartfelt. I advise to bring tissues for all the right reasons.
Saania2086 ~ Philosophy is all about being curious, asking basic questions. And it can be fun! If P, then Q. If you want good sense, then go here to see what dynamic mind dish is being served up today.
Jane Lurie Photography ~ powerful, evocative freeze-frames of architectural images that are definitely not secretly active. These images live out loud! They are refined.

These beauties have some pipes in their visual voice.

The Dihedral ~ More than just climbing. A lot more. And, climbing is a lot in itself. Read a new route today at The Dihedral. Dammit! No, not wormsign. Worse. The covert Covid-19 struck again. Visit The Dihedral for a seriously wicked and wonderfully solid attitude of Not Wasting Trouble.
Cristian Mihai ~ Professional Blogger. Sense & Sensibility meets the info age? He’s not afraid to say it, whatever he says. No walking on eggshells here, well, unless he starts making compost for the garden. Excellent tips for bloggers and thinkers and feelers.
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 way back when.
Helix and DNA strands anyone? Our world and solar system itself in its orbit is one of the life-giving shapes within us that contributes to our identity. Know Thyself and You Will Know the Universe is Metaphorical, though more so LITERAL, too!

We all have the Divine Feminine and Divine Masculine coupled AS our Place of Creation. As a male, I Have a Man-Womb pomegranate-pregnant with ideas, often 10 months on, 10 months off, that oscillates between intense expansion and productivity of moving into wide open, urban, court spaces like Piazza San Marco and then rest and and relieve with the scale-relief of the tight city streets to bompidy bomp walk through as I continue to explore.
What’s Your Place With,
and How Are You Able to Enact,

I gather the Wounded Divine Feminine may in fact be
the potentially enacted partner of Chiron’s Wounded Divine Masculine.

What can you enact?
So, that as we each enact in the whole,
we enact
to connect together
the life force...
Only put off until tomorrow what you are willing to die having left undone. ~ Pablo Picasso

This Moving and Visual and Whole Self-Experiential Story We Call Life
Shadow Mastery As Continual Mode of Being in Life (c) 2020 Jordan Hoggard
“Reflections” (c) 2009 Jordan Hoggard
This moving visual story in a video expresses to me the wounded Divine Feminine in all of us that I feel we will need to move forward as we enact and enliven into health a world community full of people strong enough and Self-aware enough from each doing and sharing their own sacred work… strong enough to be comfortably gentle in the focused power of patience as we each whole-mind body beautiful-being Self listen to others in Empathic Silence. Video: “The Frayed Angels”

Where does the Architecture live when the budget only allows a simple wall feature and Entry floor gesture with a new floor finish to accomplish the task of remodeling? I say, Don’t Waste Trouble, and your low budget doesn’t mean we’ll do a small thing. We’ll take care of a small thing. Your Entry. Put your money where the mouth of your store. Get your clients in on the right step in their 1st step into the store. Literally, step them in on the right foot. Does it have to look like a small thing? I’d say it better not, otherwise I didn’t do my job.
… with focus and vision, and a daily discipline of the ritual, do the work, and the results will come.
“Practice until the mind forgets and the body remembers.” ~ Bruce Lee
That’s a way to connect with the personal and Collective Unconscious. Not by getting out of your way, by owning and taking responsibility and becoming the way, You in your Natural way. We are Nature. We’ve never not been regardless of how separated, What’s Your Nature? How can you pour some of that beauty in your Get ‘Er Done Fuel Tank and head into your week with a temples-flexed Yes kind of smile?
