7 Deer (Hand, Grasp)

[Wednesday 20 May 2020]

On one hand, you need to let go; on the other hand, you need to hold on (control everything). Today you are able – or challenged – to find the mesh that is in the middle.

Urban Angels, by LjL:
'Adaptive intelligence; each environment
has its own spirits shaped in its own image.'

Come into resonance with the harmonics of the day. Tune into different frequencies by being flexible and also strong enough to adapt to the wave of the day.

The overall energy of today requires finesse to tune into the subtle ebbs and flows – listen to the melody, but don’t drift away.

Recognise and utilise the intuitive and feeling-based tools you have, for today is the perfect day to heighten your subtle senses and also for being responsive to using the tools for appropriate action.

A good day to be conscious, both internally and externally.

Composite created by Carey

To be conscious in this way means to be willing and able, to be responsive and adaptive, and to adjust to the energies of the moment. This is the life skill of utilising surrender and will, acceptance and action, receiving and intention.

The importance of an intuitive, feeling-based focus has to be balanced with some creative direction.

6 Skull

[Tuesday 19 May 2020]

A day of mini chapters, with clean beginnings and endings to different tasks.

The Quest, by LjL

Allow yourself to cut off from small attachments that are clogging your life. Cut back to the bone where necessary and be ready to refresh your day.

Today offers you multiple opportunities to get things done and to rest in between those activities.

The energy of the day gives you the chance to be present and enclosed in your experience, rather than being pulled into the future.

A good day to have strong, clear boundaries and to be a conscious agent for benevolent transformation. Be firm and clear.

Spirituality Is Political in the 2012 Era
Occupy your centre and yet be prepared to ‘Occupy Wall Street’.

The challenge in this age is to find stillness, and yet be responsive and attentive to the world ‘out there’. The wall of thought between your inner and outer world is dissolving.

Image from here

To be committed to peace requires finding peace inside, and yet there is an equal need to say to the illegitimate war machine, the official public relations war rhetoric and imperial agenda: “NOT IN MY NAME!”

To meditate and then to indiscriminately read the newspaper or absorb the mainstream news perspective (engineering your consent to invasion and oppression) is to remain unconscious.

So today, do remember to define your strong, clear boundaries; be the conscious agent for benevolent transformation.

5 Serpent

[Monday 18 May 2020]

Today you can connect to the life force, the Serpent energy that is at the centre of ascending and descending consciousness.

Reaching Up, by LjL

The Serpent energy is the desire for material pleasure, and yet also the desire to rise above it and to experience the bliss of the soul, as well as a whole host of juxtapositions in between carnal lasciviousness and transcendental union.

Be centred today and feel the polarity impulses of your life force.

Make an extra effort today to centre yourself in the body; connect to the life force within you and allow its vitality to direct you.

Simply connect to your personal power today, for this is the power you already have to survive and flourish. Acknowledge it and own it – there is no need to give it away.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 5 Serpent:]
The 2012 Era and the Enduring Reality
The world is becoming increasingly more mutable. Reality is in a state of flux and the contracts are being renegotiated. The 2012 effect* is exerting a pressure upon us to transform –  this requires a prerequisite of releasing the old.

This nexus of mutability that we are in the midst of is the confluence of futuristic Galactic energies and the archaic, with the modern surface of materialism.

The Serpent reminds us of the soul’s fall into density and the kundalini force of survival, growth and evolution. We grow through mastering skills at our present level of experience, whilst periodically finding that we then have to let go of our present level of experience, in order to awaken to a higher level of complexity (see the Enchantments of Life page and subpages on our portal website).

This is an old LjL flipchart of the Enchantment levels,
before he identified two further levels of consciousness:
Ceres and Jupiter (between Mars and Saturn, see here).
Nevertheless, this remains a useful graphic
to help understand the evolution of human consciousness.

As we fundamentally change to a new psychology and a new experiential stage (a new level of complexity as described by the Enchantments), we have new skills to master.

Yet, throughout all of this change, we feel a sense of the Enduring Self. The more we change externally in linear time (evolution), the more we experience involution – the soul’s descension from beyond linear time into engagement with this timeframe.

The soul was there before you were born and, when you feel back into your life, you will feel the underlying consistency of who you are, despite the changes and adventures of your life.

In this 2012 era and the decades that follow, we are being asked to change our relationship with time. We are being asked to become conscious of the ascending and descending flows of consciousness.

Image found on Google, from here

Because of this awakening of a larger timeframe, the archaic and the futuristic are becoming increasingly connected.

The soul is not confined to the linear timeframe – that is clock time and historical. Rather, the soul is a reflection of the timeless essence of the monadic spirit and the soul expands its awareness gradually over many lifetimes.

The 260-day count that we are following in this blog allows you to connect to this larger timeframe, where time has a fractal quality.

[* Note from Carey: Laurence suggested the 2012 effect began in the 1980s and will continue to affect us well into the 2020s.]

4 Lizard (Seed)

[Sunday 17 May 2020]

Today the raw intelligence or plan of life reveals itself. This is the most basic structural imprint from which all of existence is created; it is the template realm.

and amazing photographer,
André Eichman

Today, you might ask if the ground of your consciousness is fertile, free from weeds and clear of stones so that there is room for the seeds of your life intentions to germinate and sprout.

Image found on Google

A good day to understand that Life itself, in the general sense, is intelligent and has intentionality, direction and purpose.

Furthermore it is a good day to recognise that Life in essence is wholly abundant.

If you are stuck in an impoverished situation, today consider looking outside of the box that is diminishing you and be open to a new plan, an expansion of your situation.

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

[Saturday 16 May 2020]

Key words for today: Portal opening, fertile, empty, waiting, anticipation, stirring, incomplete, freeing the mind.

Portals Opening

Energy building as you stay in the house, in the soul, in the mystery. Feel your energy stirring with some inspiration.

Subtle movement in the psyche.

The energy is in the house. A good day for social triangles and to see what mysterious emergence results in the midst of three people.

Social Triangles, by LjL

Create space in your self.

Today, you might feel a little restless, not quite settling on anything. If you can allow the movement and vibration to be, and accept a degree of incomplete thoughts and actions, you can enjoy the expansion and feeling of sensing a subtle mystery that is opening in the middle of the tri-rotational energy.

2 Wind

[Friday 15 May 2020]

Feedback, receiving communications and releasing ideas.

Challenges may arise with communication, delays, arguments, difficult decisions and more. Hold steady, for today is 2 Wind.

Dancing with the Wind,
by Carey

Our blocks, created by the duality within us, reveal themselves today. First, accept the situation in order to move beyond the duality lock.

The Wind is an activator, the Breath, the Word, the Spirit that Initiates. Day 2 is duality. Wind is changeable and adaptable; it can be destructive, but it is always refreshing.

Potentially, this is a day of black-and-white divisions and opposites, as well as the clarity of knowing what you like and what you don’t like, what you need and what you can let go of.

Image by Adrian Sommeling, from here

The evolutionary impulse of spirit towards greater union is an oscillating process of merging and separating, co-operation and competition, dependence and autonomy.

Today, hold the space to separate that which has become a conglomeration – and which thus feels inert – so as to be ready to move forward.

1 Crocodile

[Thursday 14 May 2020. Happy Mayan Sacred Calendar New Year! The cycle of 260 days starts again today, on 1 Crocodile!]

The new timewave that begins today, Crocodile (Imix, also known as Dragon), brings 13 days of nourishment as you move into a state of trust with life itself.

Dragon, by Laurence James Lucas
The Crocodile Daykeeper is also known as Dragon

What is truly nourishing? How can you nourish others, and what truly nourishes you on a basic level? What brings more love, protection and acceptance into your life? How can you cultivate your primal trust in life?

Pay homage to the Goddess. The Nurturing Mother has a dark side; the feminine can devour – she has our respect. 

Keys to the Goddess:
Dance of Empowerment
Painting by Carey

Today, accept the nonlinear as primal energy enters into your life; this energy is to be received for it nurtures you. You have survived this long, you have been supported by Life up to this point and Life itself is always willing to support you more.

Dig deep within your feelings to open your heart to a deeper level of protection and sustenance.

The Crocodile comes rumbling into reality, yet offers profound food for your soul. Enjoy the natural world today and recognise the way that life takes care of us.

The heart rules the head more than usual in the next 13 days.

13 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Wednesday 13 May 2010]

You can access the state of subtle transcendental bliss today. No worries.

A day of dissipative light. Release all heaviness, gravitas or profundity and feel the graceful emanation of the energy of today.

A day of soft focus as the flower fully opens; a celebratory feeling is inherent within the last day of the Rabbit Timewave as we open in readiness to the Crocodile Timewave tomorrow.

Today you can potentially see the divinity of life, the omnipresent light of creation, everywhere and in everyone.

12 Storm

[Tuesday 12 May 2020]

Refresh the Mind, Free the Mind
The self-organising intelligence of your complex life appears before you. See the coherence within your randomness.

Day 12 of each timewave gives us the rational understanding of the energetic signature of that timewave. It is a day of organised information, the intelligence and structure that our minds can connect to.

Consciousness and the plasma brain, by LjL

Storm is the purifier, by rain and lightning, that breaks open reality structures which are inhibitory and/or no longer working, and which are too tight. Storm is a liberator and on a 12 Day, it is an organised liberator.

Today brings you an insight into going with the energy of the day and being a conduit for a reorganisation of structures in your life. Your challenge for today is to become conscious of the dynamic, flowing structure inherent within this day.

The Rabbit Timewave is an explosion of everything and, if you go with the chaotic element of today, if you surrender and yet apply your mind to seeing the pattern, a beautiful, complex exhilarating understanding will emerge.

Rabbit in the Mayan Sacred Calendar is also called Star, since Rabbit is attuned to the cosmos – the subtle energies penetrating Earth. The quality of Rabbit is in being able to respond, adapt and stay alert to subtle cosmic energies and, in so doing, Rabbit can frame a bigger picture of reality.

The Rabbit Timewave challenges us with its abundance and the understanding that ‘all that glitters is not gold’, yet with the recognition that we are here to be enchanted, to become captivated by the allure of life.

The world is forever in a state of being enchanted; reality is a spell cast by all manner of beings on multiple dimensions and by us, for us all.

The dis-enchantment with the old consensual world grows, as does the enticement to become seduced by the new incoming frequencies, information, philosophies and the Grand Myth. The Grand Myth is the essential story that finds a resonant, common agreement amongst the greater part of consciousness.

Transitional times of culture are when we collectively renegotiate the Grand Myth. Most people do this fairly passively – they are fed stories and inadvertently align with them, without deep inquiry.

Today, elevate your intuition and your consciousness.

Image and quote from here

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 12 Storm:]
It is in times of great duress that the biggest breakthroughs in consciousness can occur.

The consciousness field at this time – during the 2012 era (which began in 1986 and will continue to affect us well into the 2020s) – is open to the grand picture of existence. This is because the consensual agreement on reality is in a state of flux and the structure of society is weak; the field is therefore full of holes.

Creation story at the levels of
Saturn and Uranus Enchantments,
flipchart by LjL

In contrast, during times of comfort, when society seems to provide a clear direction for purpose and function, our consciousness is contained.

Each Enchantment of culture is held in place by the underlying mythology, the meta-myth. The meta-myth of ‘material science’ is no longer adequate for experience. The Mayan ‘end date’ of 21 December 2012 (based on the Long Count calendar of the Maya) has clearly delivered its promise of large-scale change, and this process is still unravelling before us.

Each story for each stage of culture is the essence that generates the structure of consciousness within the totality of consciousness in which we are walking around and within which we have our being. Each structure is controlled in the shadows by ‘enchanters’, those who deliberately control, design and orchestrate the context. Within that structure, we are entertained. We are given a theatre that provides us with an enormous life experience, purpose and growth. This continues until the structure no longer holds us; instead, it inhibits us and we see the shadow, we see the manipulation and we see our own co-creative dependency and our responsibility for being held within this bewitchment.

We become disillusioned and we rebel. We become frustrated with our own contribution and our choices that put us into that theatre. It is easy to beat ourselves up for being fooled, but in reality, this was what we needed and was as much truth and expansion of experience and consciousness as we could handle at the time.

What I have found from my extensive research is that this 2012 era, this transitional period in which we now live, has similarities to the late 1880s and the early 20th century. In the 1890s – in particular around 1892 – the old world of moral certainty and religious conviction was falling apart, while the Darwinian vista and new moral imperative of material growth, competition and economic progress was emerging, but not yet dominant. In this state, the alternatives to religious and scientific consensus were wide open for exploration.

'Communication with the spirit world through séances became very popular with t
he establishment of the Spiritualist movement in the mid-19th century.
Séance parties were also a favoured form of entertainment
among the fashionable members of society.'
Quote from here

There was a seeding of higher consciousness in and around 1892 (expressed by the Neptune and Pluto conjunction). A tremendous amount of visionary art forms in all fields of human endeavour was being expressed. Science was still forming and the metaphysical was popular among the intelligentsia, leading to cross-fertilisation of the spiritual and material perspectives. The 1890s was also a time when some of our most profound mystics, visionaries, artists, writers and scientists were born. The contemporary cultural phenomena of Steam Punk reflects the extraordinary nature of the 1890s, which was far wilder than history has told us.

The decade leading up that new millennium was full of hope and adventurous inquiry, as it was in the 1990s. The structure of consciousness within the totality field of consciousness was not yet consolidated in the late 19th century.

The Neo-Darwinian structure was not well established until around 1930. This led to history being rewritten yet again, and the Neo-Darwinian meta-myth became pervasive as the dominant structure.

So here we are once again – we have access to greatly expanded perspectives of truth. However, to access them requires a journey through the Shadowlands of assumption, a disturbing confrontation with the previously useful illusions we willingly took on.

In recent years, the niche spiritual enquirers who are cognisant of conspiracy have started to recognise that the control mechanism is cosmic and that, like Star Wars suggests, the ‘battle’ between dark and light is aeons in age.

Image found on Google

One of the most illuminating suggestions has been the notion of the ‘false light’, that is, the manipulation of spiritual seekers through the presentation of a saviour philosophy, ET race, alleged spiritual masters, whistle-blowers etc etc. This has made the information terrain extremely hazardous, yet exciting and compelling – like a psychic game being played out within the environment.

The imperative falls upon the individual to neither dismiss nor become totally enraptured by visionary perspectives, but to retain their own sovereignty and free thinking.

Do your own research and work it out for yourself.

11 Obsidian (Mirror, Flint)

[Monday 11 May 2020]

Doorways, Reflections and Dimensions
Transparency and integration. A good day to be transparent or to see through everything, to see through the data and the one-thousand interesting things that arise, to encounter the flickering light that reflects the unity of all life.

Photo by Carey

The flickering light of creation is akin to the shimmering light of the sun on the sea.

Obsidian is the dark mirror and the scalpel; Obsidian is used to look into the shadow and to cut out the elements of the psyche that are toxic. Day 11 is the energy of integration and on 11 Obsidian we look to find a doorway through the shadow.

Image found on Google

Today, doors are opening into the holographic universe and an experiential realisation is possible that matter is the intersection of coherent beams of light. In other words, look through the form, events, occurrences and people who are mirroring you today to see beyond the illusion.

A day of penetrating clarity of consciousness, a clarity that emerges gradually out of the smoky mirror.

All forms are just energy vortexes giving the impression of solidity. Energy is a reflection of the movement of consciousness. Consciousness spins at different speeds, which creates the different levels of existence. All levels of existence are reflections of what we might call God, refracted through the dimensions of apparent separation.

As we become more conscious, more levels of existence become transparent.
