11 Skull

[Friday 20 March 2020. Spring Equinox 03:50 UTC/GMT; 11:50 Hong Kong time. Ostara blessings to you all! (Sun at 0° Aries)]

Today is a powerful day for stepping into a new energy, for stepping over a threshold from one type of energy to another and for appropriate surrender.

LjL, stepping step over a threshold,
from one type of energy to another...

Examine your life without sentiment, exploring two opposite viewpoints of who you are and what you will become. Enjoy the sense of the dissolution of outworn aspects of the self. This is creating a portal for the emergence of new aspects of self.

You may well find that there is an element of ruthlessness today in your attitude to what you personally regard as obviously deluded, uninformed or deliberately misleading, or to be a manipulative fabricated story. Other people’s lies or delusions – as well as your own self-delusion – appear transparent to you as your spirit rips a hole in the fabric of the theatrical backdrop.

Today, the light of a cohesive picture can shine through the trivia and distractions. Use that ruthless attitude to rip through the superficial information flow with your clear perception.

Today is a good day for realistic considerations. However, the challenge is to not be cynical, but to stay open to the positive existential elements of life, as well as the cold bare bones of the Skull Daykeeper.

11 Days are where the energy of the timewave opens up laterally and to the past. Today, aspects of yourself – possibly not that flattering – seek to be heard, as 11 seeks a degree of integration or adjustment. 11 Days can be quite unstable in order to loosen you up and shake you up.

Your life is part of a continuum. You have an ancestral heritage that has brought you here; that heritage is a story of grand adventure for sure, but also of ordinary drama and ordinary living. 

Part of my ancestral heritage;
Great Grampa and Great Granny Vail

Your truth becomes more encompassing today as you release some brittleness. The spiritual seeks to be grounded in the mundane and the ego dies a little.

Today you can open up to a greater truth as you release a block in your perception and your personal boundaries, ultimately enabling you to reach out to more of life. Enjoy the liberation that comes from accepting that whatever scenario manifests or is true of you does not matter on a deep level and that you are free. You are free to be whatever is.

10 Serpent

[Thursday 19 March 2020]

Plug into body and the vitality of the Sun as it moves through your body.

The body is the foundation for confidence, for living a life that is based on truth and for being true to your personal axioms. Listen to your body and what it needs.

Power starts with your bodily instincts. Listen to your body and respond appropriately today. Conscious connection to the instincts leads to confidence and to the clarity of personal truth. The power of what is true for you is your power in the world. The nature of truth evolves, as does the nature of power.

What is power? It is the efficacious energy of the life force that creates reality. I will be bold and suggest that the world needs conscious individuals like you to step into your power.

Plug into your power

Get plugged into the god force through your body, for the body is expressing divinity. The world needs ‘ordinary’ people to be empowered on a physical level to counteract the disempowerment by design and desire by those who abuse power.

10 Serpent is all about power. Today we see our power; we see how we feel about our personal power and we recognise the role of power in a spiritual context.

Today is Day 10 of the Vulture or Warrior Timewave, and today is a reminder that we are all warriors defending our truth. This is an aspect of being spiritual. We are not here to roll over in the face of oppression; we must defend our sovereignty.

At this time in the world, those who are awakening to the new, emerging expanded reality – and who care about our planet, our species and the natural sphere of life in which we have our experience – are being called upon to be stronger.

The Temptation of Eve
by John Roddam Spencer Stanhope
(c. 1887)

The power of money, as it is perceived today, is a temporary illusion. The fear of lack that accompanies it is likewise a temporary illusion that the species has to overcome. We are being challenged to incrementally, step by step, honour our truth as spiritual beings having a physical experience – and to live by that truth as best we can.

Existence has unlimited abundance and will supply you with what you truly need.

9 Lizard (Seed)

[Wednesday 18 March 2020]

Reconnection and Core Intention Awakening
An old intention is reawakened. A plan from the past, based on your real needs, is either implemented or actively embraced. You see now how a plan that you had forgotten about, or had only half formed, has reached a place that is ready for planting.

Aha!

Building the Noosphere, by LjL

9 Days are good days for breakthrough realisations. Today you can consciously reconnect and recover an innocent and unconscious connection to life you had in the past. A good day to consciously recover and own that which you were previously unconsciously part of, or which you were embedded within.

Bring the inherent intelligence of innocence into your conscious mind.

Things actively and passionately desired often elude us, until we forget about them. When we do so, we detach from the outcome and the desired energy can then be released, after which it can return as your manifest experience.

Today is one of those days when previously intended manifestations resurface or appear.

Day 9 is the frequency of cycles. Day 9 can be the day when you recognise where you are stuck in a groove, looping back and over again. If that is the case, then it is through bringing your awareness to this scripted situation that you can shift to the next octave. 

Fields of Light by Bruce Munro,

The end date of 21 December 2012 of the previous cycle of the Maya Long Count Calendar – which the ancient Maya used to measure huge intervals of time in cycles of approximately 5,126 years of our system (5,200 tun in the Mayan numerical system) – brought us the opportunity to break the script and to spiral out of the flat loop onto a higher dimension. Think of the flatland of a flat circle, like a record on a record player, or the rings of Saturn – this is ‘default reality’ and to break the pattern, there needs to be a shock or a surge of will.

[Extra message to contemplate on 9 Lizard:]
The Psychic Landscape Is a Time–Space Energy Field
The empowerment of humanity comes from taking control of our attention, which is the commodity of our age. Attention is intertwined with time and space. We need the head-space and the time to focus on a more positive script, based on an expanded reality. The tapestry of time frequencies conditions our reality by creating the context for our experience.

To move into an expanded space of consciousness requires an awareness of the calendrical codes. The present calendar supports the ‘time is money’ script, but this has reached its culmination of usefulness – and it was a useful product of recorded history, which ended on the subtle planes with the Winter Solstice of 2012.

See the Expanding Perception,
flipchart by LjL

The 260-day Mayan Sacred Calendar count shows how life is unfolding from within – this is ‘involution’, or the evolution of consciousness. The 260-day count is the inherent frequency within all of the planetary cycles and reconnects us to the impulse of spirit to come into form, to come into manifestation, into the body and into society.

When we integrate this with the real time of the external world – which is based on real astronomy of the Sun, the Moon and the Galaxy – we are connected to life.

The Winter Solstice, for example, is the real end and beginning of the year, being the darkest day and the point when we turn back to the light.

1 January is the beginning of the civil year and connects us to the nation state. It is not bad as such, but is an indirect frequency, disconnected from nature.

The civil year has now served its purpose as the primary code for creating the time context.

The old world has run out of time, which is why the script of the mainstream is: ‘There is not enough time, money or space’, and ‘There are too many people, not enough resources, too much debt’ (which is itself an artificial construct). This, of course, creates a sense of anxiety about survival and gives rise to a confused understanding about the true nature of the environment.

The environment is an environment of consciousness and energy, and the life force of the human species is the key commodity of the Earth’s environment.

Once we move into an expanded space of consciousness, with its accompanying expanded frequencies of time, we find that there is plenty of everything to go around. The cosmos is infinitely abundant and we just need to access more of that abundance.

Human ingenuity can solve the basic problems of lack in this world very easily, if the species is unshackled from the present restrictions on time and space.

8 Foredawn (Dark House, In the House, Dark Night)

[Tuesday 17 March 2020]

Today, commit to the empty space and the dawning awareness you created and received during the last timewave, which was Foredawn or Dark House.

The base graphic for this image was initially created by LjL,
then altered, layered and Photoshopped by me

Trust in life and evoke the benevolence that is within (or behind) the void as an invitation to new energy that secures you in your authenticity.

Be committed to emptying yourself of absolute expectation. Allow your truth and the structure of any projects you are working on to become organised and coherent within your unconscious.

Hand your problems over to the wisdom and self-organising ability inherent within your unconscious.

Contemplate the mystery of the void that births all that you need.

The mystery of consciousness gradually coalesces, the soul is forever in formation...

Today teaches us to have faith in life itself, to find inner security – security based on the fabric of existence. The very fabric of existence is orientated to become, grow, flourish and encompass. Feel the sensations, no matter how subtle, that confirm the interconnected web in which you have your being.

Foredawn (also known as House, In the House, Dark House or Dark Night) rules the in-betweens. It is the space between two or more obvious states, places or times. As well as being the in-between, it is the expectation or early vibration of that which is to come, like the first point of dawn or that predawn moment.

Composite created by Carey

Dark House is an evocative quality that lends itself to the poetic, mysterious, romantic and impermanent. It is the richness of the shadow worlds; it is the feeling in your home or in a space. Tangibly felt, but elusive to the uber-rational mind or the linguistic bureaucrat.

This painting speaks to me of Compassion

Day 8 of each timewave is the day when consciousness is stepped down from the transcendental into the immanent. Day 8 is the day of implementation – and therefore commitment – of consciousness. It is a day on which Mayans mostly perform their ceremonies.

Create space for compassion

Today you own that which you know; you step into the confidence of your gnosis. What you feel is what you feel and its validation is your responsibility.

Today, create space for compassion and benevolence, both for yourself and for others.

7 Wind

[Monday 16 March 2020]

You speak so eloquently, so coherently today.

Move into resonance with the unsentimental narrator of the consciousness environment today.

Listen and tune in to what is being said to you today. 

Composite created by Carey
using images found on Google

Life is always talking to us and through us, even if we spin it and filter it through our own ego. Today the magic might arise through hearing a colder, even harsher appraisal of our life. If so, listen to it.

Although it may appear unkind at first, hidden between the lines of the message you receive is a truth that can activate your own empowered lucidity. If the day starts out foggy, overwhelming and confusing, it is because you are receiving data from all over the cosmos. Stay with it and clarity will emerge.

A good day for the communication of appropriate truth.

Laurence, speaking so eloquently and coherently,
at the fabulous Glastonbury Symposium,
on 25 July 2008

Wind is the activator. It separates things that need to be separated, clarified or differentiated. Where we are stuck or inert, Wind blows away the obstacles and gets our energy moving.

The Divine Breath can appear harsh, but this is often the inevitable effect of gaining basic clarity through the division of what is and what is not required in our life.

Day 7 is the halfway marker of each timewave. Day 7 is in equal relationship to Day 1 and Day 13, the beginning and the end, and is therefore resonant with the whole timewave. Those born on a 7 Day are most likely to be able to relate to many types of people.

Image originally found on Google

7 is the number of basic resonant truth, the general soft-focus holistic truth. Things look different depending upon your position and your perspective, but 7 brings us the universal generalised truth – not the sophisticated truth, but the commonsense foundation. This manifests as the basic ethic in life – we all know what is basically wrong and what is basically right.

More complex discernment is required above this basic level of the commonsense, ethical fuzzy-but-true-enough foundation for civilised behaviour and civilisation.

The model of the seven chakras and the corresponding sevenfold layers of the aura is a fuzzy-but-basically-true view of the energy field. I have been working with the energy field for well over 25 years and I know it is far more complex than that, but the essential sevenfold model still holds up as the foundation of understanding.

Seven is, on average, the quantity of things we can hold easily in our mind at any one time.

Harmonious Seven.

6 Crocodile

[Sunday 15 March 2020]

Nourishment and Flow
Refresh your experience of the ordinary and allow all else to flow organically. Accept the easy cadence of this day, with its gradually unfolding and emerging nourishment.

Today offers nurturing through learning; acceptance of the ever-changing life flow; a slow emergence with a thick viscosity of energy, like the flow of treacle.

Graphic by LjL

Life slowly revolves and returns to experiences, emotional states and environmental atmospheres you have visited before. This time around, you can potentially feel more appreciative.

The day offers satisfaction, as it is both a flowingly structured and a nurturing day. Be prepared to nurture without being possessive or expecting too much from the outcome of your gifts. Receive what life is offering without wanting more.

Enjoy the nourishment of today as a day unto itself, as it is a reminder of the value and joy within the existential and the commonplace.

Day 6 in each timewave is fairly practical. The energy is nicely structured in a flowing manner.

Crocodile Days represent, or are resonant with, the primal watery origins of the Earth, the turbulent power of creation held within an embrace. Crocodile is an edgy, instinctive, survival consciousness that belongs to the Goddess, who looks after her own.

Protective nourishment and sustenance. Base reality, brooding, waiting, stillness – yet with great latent power waiting to be unleashed.

The 6 tone allows that energy to flow with a quite matter-of-fact quality.

Your truth can never be permanent, but it is your truth for now.

5 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Saturday 14 March 2020]

The light of your centre shines out from your heart. Open your heart and vitalise your truth with light, prana and subtle energy. Add power to your truth without concerning yourself with mental chatter; get into the feeling. Power up and flower up. Today is about authentic confidence.

A flower is a temporary celebration of the eternal beauty of the soul, both impermanent in form yet representative of timeless truth.

How can we find our essential timeless truth?

We live in a multilayered tapestry of frequencies that can be logged and understood. If you want to see your whole self, write down the feelings as they emerge on a daily basis. The story of your life and the threads that make up the totality of your life become apparent.

Photo with heartfelt thanks to
André Eichman

Know your own history in order to see the continuity, the strands of energy that flow through your life and how the energy is changing and growing. It is only through observation and by logging the tapestry of energies we are navigating that we truly feel aware of how energy is changing.

Within the process of detailing the personality self and its history, the essential unquantifiable Self becomes evident. The True Self is behind everything in your life and is inherent within everything in your life.

Today is the day of the Sun, in all of its radiance, power and all of the ways that it manifests through humans. The Sun can be expressed as spirit, soul or personality.

Through a personality, the Sun is the charisma, presence and totality of the ego – this can be overbearing, yet it can be entertaining, attractive, magnetic and joyful.

Through the soul, the Sun highlights our sensitivity and our connection to the inherent light within all things.

In the integrated person – or the relatively integrated person – the Sun can manifest as the empowered spiritualised human being, a natural, gentle yet effective spiritual leader.

5 Days are when we gather energy. We come to our centre and we feel the sense of our life as being all around us. Day 5 in each timewave is a day of internal self-empowerment, when we build the reservoir of energy.

5 Flower or Sun, in particular, can make us aware of our power, or our apparent lack of power.

Today, open your heart, be compassionate to yourself and allow the light of your Higher Self to shine through you.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 5 Flower:]
Can You Make Time to Understand Time?
The Mayan Sacred Calendar helps us understand the texture of time as something we can feel.

We operate in different types of time. The civic calendar is just one frequency. Today, the dominant time is linked to ‘time is money’ – the 24/7 perceptual information of the mainstream – and, increasingly, we are switching to internet time substance.

Below is an extract from a short website article:

The Man Who Tastes Time
‘The concept of time sometimes triggers synesthesia – some synesthetes see days of the week around them spatially, like wheels, or in uphill linear forms or other shapes other than clocks or calendars, for example. But that is another matter altogether and more common. “I can’t taste the concept of time,” Hamrick explained to me recently. “Some synesthetes can taste concepts, and while on occasion I can (‘honesty’ is currently chocolate and looks like a giant church bell with a bark-like texture), time is simply transparent egg whites that bend in on themselves over and over again into infinity.”’

Speed Culture
In June 2014, I was interviewed by Clíona O’Conaill and was one of the contributors for her article on ‘Speed Culture’ in a UK New Age magazine called Kindred Spirit.

I have made a prolonged study of time and how it is allied to the different levels within our psyche. Based on decades of personal experience and intense research, I have mapped how our relationship with time and space is tied to consciousness, culture and intent.

Our experience of time (and space) is becoming more complex; many of us can feel ‘the shortage of time’. The memes of ‘time is money’, ‘24/7’, ‘on the hour, every hour’, ‘the clock is ticking’, ‘winners keep up’, ‘breaking news’, ‘the city that never sleeps’ and ‘the bright lights of the city’ are all product of but one level of our psychological, cultural and evolutionary development. That level of development [Uranus Enchantment] is tied into the physiology of adrenalin and is now in crisis, as we as a species are attempting to shift to the next stage of culture [Neptune Enchantment].

Internet time is the concept that events occur at a faster rate on the internet than elsewhere or that, everywhere, the internet is affecting the pace of change. Andy Grove, who was CEO of Intel from 1987 to 1997, was quoted as saying, ‘The world now runs on Internet time.’

The commonly suggested meaning of ‘time’ is that economic progress accelerates. However, I would say that internet time is a substance where we operate in different spaces simultaneously, ie we have different windows open and it is not just about forward progress. In fact, internet time involves a lot of backward projections. We can access things from the past and bring them into the present in various forms. So, internet time is not just about economic progress, far from it — it is about an expansion and a challenge for our consciousness.

Specifically, I would suggest that internet time expands the number of spaces in which we operate, and therefore expands the number of different time substances. We are in real time and cyberspace time simultaneously.

The internet supports the creation of time and free energy. It is quite hard to turn online activities into profit, as the internet supports abundance and free flowing energy... Think about it. There is a lot to explore in this, because time is a fundamental context for everything and time is a projection of consciousness.

4 Storm

[Friday 13 March 2020]

A day of dynamic re-organisation. A day of adjustment – it could seem a relatively small adjustment, but it will be important.

Beautiful, but uncredited, image found on Google

A day with something new in it that challenges you to remain true to your truth, your way of life and your purpose, whilst simultaneously adjusting that truth. The challenge then strengthens your foundation.

We cannot have it all. Life is about choice – not all experiences are appropriate to us, but we adapt where necessary.

Containing the energy

Old ideas that do not fit your real self are cleansed out of your system today. See your life for what it is. Face it without judgment.

Recalibrate.

Storm is the blood lightening in the body, the activator of the Lightbody that seeks to integrate our consciousness of body, mind, soul and spirit.

Original photo thanks to our friend André Eichman,
photoshopped by me

This activation disrupts our patterning. Storm is a power that seeks and demands liberation, as well as drastic change.

Storm Days are therefore also the awareness of chaos outside our space of safety, home and emotional sanctum; the chaos of potential total change.

Change is exciting; change is frightening.

Day 4 in the timewave is a foundation day, a day when energy is held.

The Vulture (or Warrior) Timewave is strength. Part of that strength is the patience to hold energy, so today we have to contain the electrical energy and allow it to recalibrate, rather than getting fully intoxicated by the thrill of the lightning and its promise of total liberation.

Image found on Google

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 4 Storm:]
Stay conscious, stay centred, claim your authentic self, have faith in life and intend the benevolent. Aspire to rise above the deceptions being played out in the world ‘out there’.

Act upon the more noble, integrity-based impulses you have and be the light we need you to be. Remember your sovereign soul. Relinquish your life in order to regenerate your life with a new calibration.

I highly recommend that today you do some sort of meditation, or whatever consciousness practices work for you. Release and reaffirm your life, release negativity and allow your life to reformulate at the template level.

3 Obsidian (Mirror, Flint)

[Thursday 12 March 2020]

The mind reflects upon its reflection. Be conscious of the temporary nature of thoughts; feel the energy behind the ricochet of thoughts. The mind holds one small piece at a time, seeing just a few degrees of the curve of a sphere – however, 360 degrees of knowledge is required for enlightenment.

See all angles without coming to a conclusion. Enjoy the energy of the intuitive mind.

If you are in tune today, you can be in a state of multifaceted lucidity, as the many faces of a single subject flicker before your awareness.

Here are the essential components of understanding for today:

Day 3 in each timewave is the day of movement. We might say they are fickle days, restless days, but the energy of 3 is momentum, the first essential movement for creation that is closest to Source. 

The Obsidian Daykeeper is the Obsidian knife, or flint, derived from the volcanic glass that can be used for surgery – it is sharp enough for that level of precision. Obsidian carries the precision of technology, or the precision of the points of separation between dimensions.

Each dimension is an inversion of the last dimension, like a reflection.
Obsidian also carries the clarity of the laser that can cut out unhealthy energies from the soul.

Obsidian days will reveal shadow aspects of yourself to you. The discomfort is an ally, for you can clear outworn energy from your psyche.
