This Week

It’s a #2 day today, so here are a pair of 2-themed videos:

The Mystereum Tarot Moment, 2 of Pentacles

1 min 1 sec AND The Family of the Twos Clocking in at 2 min 23 sec.

There’s a whole world in 61 seconds, or 1 min 1 sec = 1 + 1 = 2. ad-libbed here in a single take. That’s not bragging. I warmed with a great bike ride up the hill to the video shoot several miles away. Cleared out my breath, smiled and looked about a bit. Then, hopped in the cockpit in front of my Producer’s ‘putter, and simply put in a post a pole position lap time. That’s it. Not bragging. It’s simply a stat. Enjoy. How do YOU roll when it matters?

What can you do for your own pole position self in just over a minute? Please comment if you feel to, though more so, I suggest to put your phone on record, and give it a try. You may be surprised what happens when you’re on the spot, on the stage, running up and down through your gears and through the chicanes and turns of YOU expressing yourself. Can you put yourself on your own stage and hit the gas?

Not a challenge or a competition or ego-tooting my horn in any more than to start the band, then the Band/Team comes in, huh? No need to do your 1 min 1 second in one take — or heck, beat me… do in in 1 min flat. Simply a question, a suggested exercise. What can you do in 60 seconds to further and actionably build foundations under your dreams? What does YOUR 60-second gig look like? Try it. Take your notes on yourself FROM your recording. Then, Take 2 if you see areas for improvement, or other directions you feel more resonant to take.

Study YOURSELF. Literally, study yourself. Record yourself for 60 seconds… or there-around. Please don’t take the time as Gospel. Make your Gospel. Hear the sacredness of YOUR voice. Revise as required until you get tingles… from YOUR own voice.

Look Out

Look out the window. Go outside and look IN the window… of yourself. What does your home look like from outside the window? Prepare with the notes you take from your 56 seconds. Take a deep breath and… GO! Just record yourself on your phone for 56 seconds and then transcribe it… or delete it. The delete option is the ultimate edit button. 🙂 You may find it just keeps expanding when you start to transcribe it.

Try the 1-minute-ish exercise. Why 1 minute? Good question. The number is arbitrary. That’s just around what this video took with no splicers or edits in a single take. On this one, it was a single take on the 1st take. Not on all my vids. And, I don’t find that to be a meaningful stat. It’s simply a stat. I’d much rather drive the car the way it was made to be driven so to speak. Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice makes excellence.

Practice won’t even keep you from slamming into the wall when you over-downshift and lose the back end for just a split-second-long-enough to drive you to step deep into the tach while you’ve already slid out the rear end to overtake you And SLAM CRASH Right into the wall. Use your roll cage, people. Odds are, you don’t have to ask for as much permission as you do. That what roll cages are for, right? What practice will do, though, what BITCh will do — Butt In The Chair — is…. well, try it. Over time, you’ll see. That’s a silver platter there for you. Now, can you fill it with your faves?

What’s YOUR short time? What’s YOUR lap time for a single pass? Your call. Will you give it a try? Comment please if your care to share.

Here we go!

Serendipity Itinerary forAugust 8th

Onto the wild beyond around the rocks in the wonderful Flow of rapids in the excellent blogs below. I’ve started treating the music section below differently.

I respect when people swim in their own crucible to discern and come to a more resonant relationship with themselves.

I look forward to where this exploration leads.

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. More often than not I find politics in any age to provide a comprehensive, compendium anthology of the best you-can-talk-a-good-game-but-cannot-box-wimpy-see-through-always-superficial-with-zero-substance-hipocrisy people. This, is not that..

Learn Tarot: Naima Healer ~ Self-Healing through the Present Moment. Wonderful work with a just as wonderful Hoo Doo deck. Naima has just started out blogging, and I firmly feel she started out on just the right foot. Sensitive, sensible with wit and wisdom not disconnected from lineage. She may have just started blogging, though she’s no novice Reader.

Bonnie Cehovet ~ Flash Fiction. Author. Tarot. Consummate Reviewer. Want a solid story? Bonnie’ll get your there. Bonnie has a way about only working with things she resonates with. She doesn’t do negative reviews, understands that that is a waste of her blessings and value. I beyond resonate with and respect that. What’s the point of non-things? CHeck out good things here.

Croque-Melpomene ~ Author of Within Paravent Walls. Pentalingual Idealist. Writer of psycho-corporeal Poetry. Creator of Croque-Melpomene & Les Femmes de la Décadence. 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.

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.

Jane Lurie Photography ~ powerful, evocative freeze-frames of architectural images that are definitely not secretly active. These images live out loud! They are refined. And they are as natural as they are refined, like an exquisitely cut emerald or sapphire or ruby kind of refined. There’s nothing hidden in the rough here. These beauties have some pipes in their visual voice.

Timothy Price ~ Off Center & Not Even. Is variety the spice of life? Go here and see! The photography is magnificent.

Mary K. Greer’s Tarot Blog ~ Tarot helps you meet whatever comes in the best possible way. Mary matters. Professionally. As a person. As an author. Mary matters. Sweet and direct and courageous and inventive and FUN. Oh, she was a wicked cool sense of humor. Many deep wells feed Mary’s work. Warning: Immersion here may lead to ablution.

Enchanted Seashells by Princess Rosebud ~ Beguiling pearls of wit, wisdom, and whimsy-with attitude. I’m not going to add more words to that. If that doesn’t grab you… A Princess is simply a Queen not yet sitting..

Dr. Eric Perry ~ Psychology to Motivate | Inspire | Uplift. Wonderfully full and relevant and engaged Psychology articles with clarity of voice. I full-on dig when things are as robust as they are clear, especially when directly dealing with intensities. This site, is certainly that.

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.

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.

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.

Helix and DNA strands anyone? There’s such a wonderful Who let the dogs out? Us, our world and solar system itself in orbit.

& This Week’s SI Music & Video Is simply ONE… It came on Shuffle several times this week… and… COOL-E-O! Love it every time! Jes… Motorcycle… Bring it on …. As The Rush Comes. If ever there was an anthem about creativity… THIS is it… or of course, le petite morte.

Live

This Week

It’s a #6 Day, so here’s a 6-themed video

The Mystereum Tarot Moment, 6 of Pentacles

0 min 56 sec

There’s a whole world in 56 seconds. I ad-libbed here for 56 seconds in a single take. That’s not bragging. I warmed with a great bike ride up the hill to the video shoot several mile away. Cleared out my breath, smiled and looked about a bit. Then, hopped in the cockpit to post a pole position time. That’s it. Not bragging. It’s simply a stat.

What can you do for your own pole position self in 56 seconds? Please don’t answer. Put your phone on record and give it a try. You may be surprised what happens when you’re on the spot, on the stage. Can you put yourself on your own stage?

Not a challenge or a competition or ego-tooting my horn in any more than to start the band, then the Band/Team comes in, huh? No need to do your 56 seconds in one take. Simply a question, a suggested exercise. What can you do in 56 seconds to further and actionably build foundations under your dreams? What does YOUR 56-second gig look like? Try it. Take your notes on yourself FROM your recording. Then, Take 2 if you see areas for improvement, or other directions you feel more resonant to take.

Study YOURSELF. Literally, study yourself. Record yourself for 56 seconds… or there-around. Please don;t take the time as Gospel. Make your Gospel. Hear the sacredness of YOUR voice.

Look out the window. Go outside and look IN the window… of yourself. What does your home look like from outside the window? Prepare with the notes you take from your 56 seconds. Take a deep breath and… GO! Just record yourself on your phone for 56 seconds and then transcribe it… or delete it. The delete option is the ultimate edit button. 🙂 You may find it just keeps expanding when you start to transcribe it.

Try the 56-second exercise. Why 56 seconds? Good question. The number is arbitrary. That’s just what this video took with no splicers or edits in a shingle take. On this one, it was a single take on the 1st take. Not on all my vids. And, I don’t find that to be a meaningful stat. It’s simply a stat. I’d much rather drive the car the way it was made to be driven so to speak. Practice doesn’t make perfect. Practice won’t even keep you from slamming into the wall when you over-downshift as you step deep into the tach and slide out the rear end to overtake you And SLAM CRASH. That what roll cages are for, right? What practice will do, though, what BITCh will do — Butt In The Chair — is…. well, try it. Over time, you’ll see. That’s a silver platter there for you. Now, can you fill it with your faves?

What’s YOUR short time? Your call. Will you give it a try? Comment please if your care to share.

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.

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.

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.

Helix and DNA strands anyone? There’s such a wonderful Who let the dogs out? Us, our world and solar system itself in orbit.

& This Week’s SI Music & Video

May you fill your spaces with the good stuff Your way

Last Week was a WOW 12-Year Old

I discovered a multi-instrumentalist Polymath. Check that link above! The idea of a one man band never knew it so well. And, ……

Music For The Week Brought to You by the Asteroid Moira, #638

Moira is Saturn’s (Chronos’/Kronos’) wife. As Saturn rules chronological time, Moira correspondingly rules Life Time, or destiny. Moira is one of the three Greek Fates — Nona, Decuma, and Moira. The thread Moira weaves into your life in your Natal Astrology Chart is that of your internal sense of time, your natural sense of timing, the natural rhythm of the way your inner waves pulse and dance.

I Like To Think of Moira As

I like to think of her as The Silent Inner Music like a glass top lake, calm, teeming with life below, though still. And, I feel the ways we are naturally influenced comes from how this calm, glass top lake of our Silent Inner Music ripples and resonates to strike chords and interference pattern dischords within us as we experience things. For example: when you experience trauma, I gather there are interference patterns across this lake like its disturbed; when you experience beauty or joy or pleasure or all three, I gather there are wonderful, sacred geometry patterns resonating and reverberating in harmony, and that maybe what brings on those cascades of ablution tingles when you hear someone singing who has a wonderfully moving voice that grace you with ear-gasms of varying degrees in part, parts, or all throughout your body.

This Week I Played

This week I played a single-minded game in triplicate to present you one of the new meditation and Mindfulness techniques I have created. I call it Breathing Your Inner Music With Moira. To keep it fun and simple and also dial in a hefty well of substance as well, I’ve made it experiential rather than technical. I hope with this week’s Moira gig you have the opportunity to hear your natural rhythms more clearly, hear the natural and beautiful chords that are struck inside you when you resonate with something, and as well experience your Inner Silence, your Inner 4-charactered ~A~U~M~ (OM) Silence.

You Say

You say, Jordan! Geez! Can you count! There are only 3 letters there. I just smile at that. What about the space between the notes in music, the interstices, the synapse invisi-bridges? The 4th character in ~A~U~M~ is the Silence that swims within between the letter-sounds fed from the Silence all around them.

~ Silence ~ The Silence of Light ~ The Silence in Darkness ~

I resonated with the trinity above swimming a quaternity in Silence. You can make your own 3-experiential preambles from the above by substituting 3 experiential gigs you resonate with to tune up and warm up your inner rhythms to then work with the simple, though I find effective, exercise below. ImaginAction made me do it.

Take a breather for… well… let’s keep to theme. Take a breather in full-boat Silence for 56 seconds (or there-around. Please don’t clinch up trying to be too exact. I suggest to use about 56 seconds as an approximate range for the initial length) with your eyes closed calmly breathing. Then, take 4 long and deep and full breaths. Then, repeat both one more time — the 56-second breather, and then 4 deep and long Master Violin Bow Bindu Breaths. Then, listen to the music of Silence within you. Experience YOU, the Natural You. Your heartbeat. Your breath. Any stomach gurgles like someone playing the triangle or tympani at the back of the symphony. Heck, you might fart and laugh, who brought the barking spider goos to the symphony? Have fun with it, and give yourself a wide berth. And, may I suggest that there’s only one Prinicpal in your Principal’s office. You! And, lose the office hours to simply be you, Sovereign You.

What does your Inner Silence sound like to you?

After Doing This Initial Exercise

After doing this initial exercise, I suggest to do this when you are calm, when you are angry, when you are confused, when… well, with any feeling you have. Learn your instrument. How do you sound inside when experiencing these feelings? What does your glass top lake mirror in its pattern from your feeling? Sacred geometry? Simple Notes that are simply pleasant. Chords? Discord’s? Full-on frenetic interference patterns? Standing waves? False harmonics? Ebbs and flows? Harmonics? Sharps? Flats? Both? Neither-Either-None? The list goes on as long as the ways you resonate whether they are positive or negative or just simply are.

Maybe You Didn’t Realize You We’re

Maybe you didn’t realize you were a magician musician inside with how your particular Silence is tuned. I hope you soon come to experience what I am talking about here. Again, ImaginAction made me do it. I tend to use the products and systems I create to enhance my divination, imagination, creativity, Tarot, Mindfulness, Astrology, Art… and generally to enhance and amplify the value I experience in my life. You can purchase either ImaginAction (103 pages, 78 in full color) and/or ImaginAction 2.0 ~ The Unplugged Sessions (98 pages, 66 in full color) by clicking on the Shop link in the footer.

Enjoy the Inner Music of your particular brand of Silence. Everything you do swims in it as if your life itself IS the ~A~U~M~. Feel that. Is that cool or what?!

What Does Your Music Sound Like?

Thank you for your support.

Will you invest a coffee or tea in yourself and your creativity/divination/mindfulness tools and purchase your copy of ImaginAction or ImaginAction 2.0 below? Both in easy to use pdf format. You get to download 3 copies each. One for you, 2 to share or pay forward on a lark. Or, as Esther did, buy 2. Take care of yourself with one on your phone, one on your tablet, one on your laptop or other device. Then, 3 to share. Then, she bought 2 more. It makes me smile to know that people’s eyes may light up that I’ve never even been indirectly in contact with. Now, THAT’s a great contagion spread.

Your Life, Your Way

Have a Wonderful Weekend & a Great Week
