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.
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?

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 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

“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”
May the feeling and experience within the vessel of this post enrich your day in ways only you can for yourself, together. Thank you for your time, and thank you for visiting my blog.

From my Place of Creation, my Man-Womb as I call it, may your creativity enliven and enrich your world so that you can more fully enrich the world for all of us together.

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.

I bow in reverence to someone who I discovered literally for the sound of the voice in this poignant video, which was not directly related to his work. I went searching for WHO IS the person who commands the instrument of THIS VOICE?!!
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.
I really don’t know that Night Vision and Inner Vision are very different from one another… other than To connect with darkness and Shadow within VERSUS To connect with Darkness in the shadows outside. When I practice one, the other is correspondingly enhanced without fail sans dout. I’d say it’s like Non-Local Mind, except for the fact that I live in the perpetual present, and Inner Vision and Night Vision confluence to mix together right in all my senses… so their commonplace connection in my experience makes the distance local at the level of 0’ – 0” away… the same distance away as the perpetual present.
I Love
I love this Image. Reminds me of my Embrace your inner storms. Marry them for life, and Thich Nhat Hanh’s, “When we take good care of our suffering, we can help others take good care of theirs,” and, “Hello, my pain. I know you are there, and I will take care of you. You don’t need to be afraid.”
I run a daily personal ritual called Becoming Besties with My Beasties. It’s a wonderful daily practice. Some people call it Shadow Work. I call it Shadow Mastery. Not for a big, ego head. Mastery leads to further discovery, and trees with strong roots laugh with storms, and I have learned to feel those storms in The reverent fullness of Empathic Silence as they rage. Sometimes, when they subside, they have a message. Sometimes, they ebb and flow back inside. They’ll come again. Differently next time, though they themselves will be the same. I will remember and welcome them… again and again until they spend their Chthonic Michelangelo Marble to reveal their Dark David to be fully in their power. That’s usually also when the message comes. When they’ve re-become what they were before whatever trauma, Have their message, and integrate to re-home in my body to dose me with more of myself… unless the content is an Archetype… In which case there are messages to unpack, though I do not expect integration, Moore the grace of welcoming the presence… and the beauty of confusion they can cause.
Her Divine Light
Her divine light united with the Moon — itself not having its own light as it has light from an unseen source reflected — and the postures of her Beastie Shadowy Entourage… She is defintely the mouthpiece, and they are following her, maybe having learned to patiently wait their turn. They feel enamored with her in this image. Go figure. She is their liberator. As she listens silently to each one fully and without interruption, I gather their storm will begin to subside, wherein she can softly lean in with, “What is your message?” And, upon their response, they integrate to live in her, dosing herself with more of herself, and brightening the light of Self with continual integrations… Very much a Kintsukuroi of Self process In action, with action. No smoking hope in this image. She is full-on engaged…. is my take on the image.
Feeling Into The Image Further
Feeling into this image further, this particular image started to feel so familiar. Not collective unconscious familiar. Not that its instant resonance was no short-timer and grew on me and with me. It simply felt familiar. When I woke up this morning, the message was clear. “Dood, your thesis. remember that thing 1/2 a Chiron Cycle back almost 30 years ago?” So, I went plowing through an old box Of things I wrote that never made it into any of my work, discards I saved rather than trashing, that I found almost instantly… Call it the Box for Inner Compost. So, Light illuminating Shadow As you said? I say most likely yes… AND at one and the same time to go with that Both~And style… :
In 1991-92 I 1st saw this image and wrote:
I feel this is not light illuminating the Shadow, but Shadow coming to be integrated to amplify the light. I feel the deep and infinite well of the Chthonic, unconscious contents, Shadow and Shadow citizens, is the source of the light…and as well that matter is spent light. At the deepest regions of the unconscious where the pressures get increasingly intense like with heavy water at the bottom of the ocean… the pressure is so great that nothing other than Inner Diamonds are made that then are ejected to the surface to make more room for pressure. Like a singularity compressed so densely it releases energy. ~~ (C) 1991-92 J. Jordan Hoggard during My Architectural Thesis entitled The Temple In Man: Pluribus. Out of Many, One.
Cool to me that I didn’t discover Carl Jung until the week before the end of my thesis, a good year past when the above was written, and OH BOY had I discovered an historical friend when I did. My writings and thinking and creativity and design were wonderfully congruent in that, “If you could sit down with one of your historical friends, who would the 1st be?” Discovering Carl Jung when I was 23, and I FINALLY had someone I would respond to that question with who I previously could only “talk to” in corresponding back and forth in the margins of his books.
For the Longest Time
I’ve for the longest time said, “Don’t waste Trouble.” Recently, I came across a Jodorowski passage where his Chariot speaks, “I made a diamond out of my misfortune.” And, my so dense at the depths of the unconscious where Inner DIamonds are made that are ejected to the surface statement… Time for me to get me waaaayyyyy some Mo Jodorowski’s nourishment as another historical friend. I love finding people from before I was even born, and suddenly I have another to resonate with in my work, and see historical friends and colleagues where our work is in parallel.
And, Yes
And, yes, I am comparing myself to Jung and Jodorowski, Anais Nin and Dorothy Parker even. Big head ego? Nah. If I relate to someone as much as I do them, it actually sets me apart more myself by counterpoint and distinction of identity, and they make me a better person by bringing me to continually work the plodding pace long-term to continually bring clarity to my voice.. That’s what happens with historical friends. I am not on my knees petitioning them or lying prostrate looking for approval. We’re just picking from the menu and Justice carding back and forth on the scale of coffee versus Carmenere as our banter lays down a thick mat of rich sol-luna-soil to garden As we interact. What a wonderful time to be had when you have great friends… alive and dead. Lol, the dead ones might talk back even more, as what do they have to lose.
This One Image
This one image, The Coming of the Faeries, is one my favorite, in my Top 4. It expresses the whole of the Individuation process at its base, completely and in totality. As soon as I find something missing from it, I’ll let you know. If you see something, certainly let me know… though, I gather most things, regardless, will hit and then turn to build right back into it. We’ll see.
I really don’t know that Night Vision and Inner Vision are very different from one another… other than To connect with darkness and Shadow within VERSUS To connect with Darkness in the shadows outside. When I practice one, the other is correspondingly enhanced without fail sans dout. I’d say it’s like Non-Local Mind, except for the fact that I live in the perpetual present, and Inner Vision and Night Vision confluence to mix together right in all my senses… so their commonplace connection in my experience makes the distance local at the level of 0’ – 0” away… the same distance away as the perpetual present.
