12 Dog

Sambal, our semi-feral dog

Today is a good day for a fresh understanding of your emotional needs.

The 12th day of every 13-day timewave (also called a 'Wavespell' by José Argüelles) offers a coherent understanding of that particular mini-cycle. This is especially true on an emotional level with 12 Dog, the 12th day of the Storm Timewave.

If you have been experiencing a dissolution of all of the foundations of your reality, if you have broken free of habitual thinking and mechanized needs, then you have run into the edge of the Matrix. Where do you go from there? Back into society, relationships and the immediacy of nurture and comfort.
 

In the Storm Timewave, you may have been traversing at speed through multiple paradigms and theatres, experiencing, touching base or getting a whiff of occulture, mysticism, futurism, love, community, technology or the manner of the diversity that exists within your life.

On this day of 12 Dog, it can all fit together into your expanding holism by coming back to the basic emotional level of need.

Today, ask yourself ‘What do I need?’

Today offers the opportunity connect to your growing consciousness of the benevolent, wondrous and light-filled totality of life as something you can feel and relate to. Today, you can feel a sense of companionship with many beings.

This is Nougat, our cat (who thinks he's a dog), showing me how to
'go back into … relationships and the immediacy of nurture and comfort'.
What do I need? Like all of us, I need love, companionship,
a sense of comfort and safety,
and knowing that where I am and how I am is okay.
I also need cuddles – lots of cuddles. Here Nougat is cuddling Whitstable,
my soft-toy dog bought for me by Laurence and his beloved daughter
(my special much-loved sea-daughter) Oceana,
from a charity shop in Whitstable, Kent, on one of their spring trips together.
