I bow in reverence to someone who I discovered literally for the sound of the voice in this poignant video, which was not his voice. I went searching for WHO IS the person who commands the instrument of THIS VOICE?!! I found the narrator, and I serendipitously found Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. So, today on my birthday 12/4 I am giving myself the gift of steeping in the sandbox of cherished historical friends Of which he is certainly one. Enjoy.
I then began to discover this was simply the tip of many places full of and teaming with life. Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks did not narrate this video, though I found his work searching for who did. Most normal people would have just clicked MORE at the bottom of the video for the answer. Honestly, that didn’t even cross my mind. The power of the voice and visual story inter-weaving gave me the gift of a head turn and a long look into the distance. So, I took a step.
This Is Not His Voice, Though Is How I Found Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks
A Visible masterpiece, a once in a lifetime piece of mind-art that defies description from the pen of Les Visible. Visuals from the incomparable Kscope here: https://vimeo.com/21912350
Music in this video Learn more Song: Dreaming Light Artist: Anathema Album: Dreaming Light
In The
In the scheme of things, this was a voiceover artist gig as a narrator. I am so glad Les Visible yes to this. It is another of many portals to discover people who make the world a better place for being here, and now, as of last week, for having been here.
Thank You Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sacks. The search to find the above voice led me to yours. The memories of my experience of you are Indelible blessings. I have cherished them, will cherish them, and will always cherish them. Thank you. Heartfelt thanks to You. The Dignity of Difference is a shining facet of your life that lives on. And, you split arrows consistently with quality such as these two… of many many:
The Dignity of Difference: How to Avoid the Clash of Civilizations
Rabbi Lord Jonathan Sachs. Thank You For Your Life.
Sag is a double-sign meaning it is represented by two qualities. The Beast & The Divine. As we move into Sag Season into the Full Moon and Eclipse and Neptune going direct, beyond what things you can drop or release… What good things have you done over the past 18-19 years that have been karma-banked inside? How, over the next several weeks, can you begin to own the intensities of their beautiful beast lines and divinely share them in the world to your and the world’s benefit.
Epic spiral of giving and receiving? Yes. Be compassionate and take no shit? Even more so. In a way Sag is like a Justice card in the Tarot mixed with Temperance, The Hanged Man, and Strength. Sure, all the other cards as well as Sag is the last sign of the zodiac. It is inclusive of all the other signs.
As such, this month, especially in the lead-up to the 12/21 Saturn~Jupiter conjunction with Neptune Stationed Direct as of Monday 11/30, how can you use the 3 images below to guide your thinking and feeling to work with your Beast and your Divine together? There are also four Tarot images below that you may want to bring in as well. All the best to the Beast and Divine Of YOU Wholly Yours to express your Being in the world.
(C) photographer. I’ll say to embrace the Beast, unmoved like a tree with strong roots
Reflections (c) 2005 Jordan Hoggard. I’ll say to integrate those beastly energies into your own brand of the Divine that you infuse and integrate in your actions. Your Divine as the Heart of your actions… the impetus of your actions, too.
I give you a place of your own to clearly float fully supported in your mind activating your crown chakra. Chrysalis, fully afloat in supportive clarity.
Yoniverse, fresh, nurturing, carrying to full term to bring to life, Great Mother
Shakin’Your Inner Booty scribes a new world, new life, place-making, enthusiasm
Looking up from inside the obelisk, complete cycles, expansive, infinite
When There Is Only Darkness ~ take a look at this to get your bearings… almost regardless. I’m not about empowering people. I am about helping people to navigate to discover their sources of power. Then, they do the empowering. Only you can plug yourself in. There may be a silver platter we all want to be given, but we have to bring the silver spoon and fill the plate. Enjoy choosing what you fill your precious metal plate with.
The Frayed Angels ~ excellent video poetry story
What Can You Enact When You Connect the Beast and the Divine Through The Hanged Man~Empress, activate them through your Ace of Wands initializing and emanation energies, and bring them into the World? If you were the Placemaker like the Ace of Wands, what would you do with the tools on today’s blog?
A Broken Heart
A Broken Heart Heals
A Broken Heart Heals Stronger
Kintsukuroi of Self, where we are more valuable for having been broken.
It’s Sagittarius Season, and I got kidnapped by the Beast and the Divine
Sag is a double-sign. The Beast And The Divine. How can you embrace both your Inner Beasties and Inner Divinity? Well, a super eStocking is a start in that direction!
They both ganged up on me in my Shop… I thought I was dusting… and OH BOY was I wrong. The Beast pinned me with puns… while the Divine just moved about having great fun slashing prices. How would I stop puns? I think I might not even have a defense for that. Are puns my Kryptonite? I guess so.
The Super eStocking for $10?All 6 downloads! YES! That’s 75% off for a limited time, and you get to download 3 copies of each! One for you, and 2 of each to share. Great gifts for a ZOOM party! Or, up your quantity to TWO to take care of 5 eStockings + yourself.
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.

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?
