1 Skull

Be strong.
Be steady.
Be clear.
Be awake.

Change: 13 days of transformation begins today in the Skull timewave. In this timewave, choices are made. In some areas we cut back to the bone; we let go of some things in order to commit to a new structure and to a change in our lives.

This Skull timewave is strongly empowered as we are in the midst of the timeline choice.* This is the time to take a conscious, spiritual and sovereign position.

Skull is the energy of change from one definitive state to another.

Skull is black and white.

It is time to change.

Today is a day to anchor intention around change, specifically based on recognizing what you need to let go of. What energy and what actions are superfluous to your real needs?

If the answer does not emerge today, then hold the space for the truth to emerge during this timewave.

A good time for dealing with practicalities, as you are able to separate from distractions. Clear-cut actions can be undertaken.

* Note from Carey: Laurence researched and wrote extensively about the timeline choice of consciousness. Amongst other things, he wrote on 6 August 2015: ‘…my research has constantly pointed me to the conclusion that we are rapidly approaching a fundamental species choice regarding the trajectory of our reality,’ and, on 1 Skull in 2015, ‘This 2012 era requires change, the change of human collective consciousness.’

He also wrote much about this pivotal change for humanity on his blog Mystic Cyber Crow, up to and including a matter of weeks before his passing. Mystic Cyber Crow was the blogsite perhaps particularly closest to Laurence’s heart, where he could share much of his inspiration, theories, musings and insights. Many articles are ‘unedited’, in the sense that Laurence wrote in a stream of consciousness as soon as he was inspired or impelled to put his incredible thinking and feeling down in words. 

This was his mission: To share his wisdom, experience, knowledge, and profound understanding of life, in order to empower others so that each individual could find their own conscious, spiritual and sovereign position.   

Nine years ago today, in the Gregorian Calendar, on 12 September 2008,
Laurence was with his men on the beach (with Power Station in the background)
holding a fire ceremony for his stag night.
Blessings and thanks to all the men who were there with him.

 

13 Serpent

On Cosmic Serpent day, the energy of the Reed/Skywalker Timewave culminates as you come into the body from the sky.

You come into everyday reality from the exploration of potentials to face the daily survival needs. Today is a day of the kundalini, the life force that powers your survival instincts, the impulse of creation, the evolutionary impulse of life.

Today offers a chance to break free from worry about one’s survival, by facing physical reality and yet vitalizing your body with some action and daring.

Feel the fear and do it anyway.

A great day for a breakthrough.

Earth–Sky Connection by LjL (aka Coming into the Body from the Sky)

12 Lizard (Seed)

A good day to get organized.

Templates of reality are revealed.

One of the best days in the whole 260-day cycle to have conscious integrated realizations and to see the coherence of your life, a project or the world. A good day for recognizing you have a plan, a seed to plant. The ideas of heaven create DNA, morphogenic fields and architectural plans.

Potentially, today offers you a clear-minded understanding of your whole energy, all of your needs and how they fit together.

If you feel confused, face yourself and own your desires, needs and natural mode of being. Be grateful for what you have, but own the need for evolution and growth. From this approach, a sense of the unity of your life’s intentionality and purpose can emerge.

Come into alignment with the higher self and its intent for your life.

The sexual energy and passions also are stirred today, so we look to harness our passion for our purpose.

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

Moments of romanticism, wonder, captivating memories and cascading feelings can arise today, evoking an emotional flux state. Within any doubts, confusion or uncertainties lies the question you should ask.

Ideas of yesterday turn into feelings today. Doors open into the shadow of ideas, or doors open within the darkness and you see the space for light to enter, even if the darkness temporarily overpowers.

A day of the dissolution of one’s mental control as you surrender to creating emptiness. The cycles of creativity require that you make a fallow space and digest any shadow elements. Be in the Dark House and sit it out. You can enjoy the fecundity, if you get into it.

A great day to make space for new inspiration by throwing out assumptions and expectations.

You might not really need what you've been thinking you want for some time.

If you have noticed during this timewave that you have been formulating new ideas and are desiring to bring those ideas into a cohesive intention, then today you need to create some space for that plan to gestate. (Tomorrow is 12 Lizard, which equals organized seed, cohesive intention, clearly thought out plan.)

Today, go with the lateral movement, rather than trying to go directly towards completion of your thinking process.

10 Wind

The Reed/Skywalker Timewave manifests as a message or messages that convey the unfolding or potential future we are moving into.

Today, on 10 Wind, the words are strong; the message has power. An idea is formed and you can see it in its entirety if you step back. You might have to read it more than once to see the wholeness.

Wind solidifies on Day 10. That which was fickle takes a solid shape.

Today you may see or say words that epitomize your inner sovereign voice, your authority.

Collage made by our very dear friend Annie Knibb especially for Laurence,
after our 6-week Storyteller workshop at the beginning of 2017.
'The words are strong; the message has power. ... 
You might have to read it more than once to see the wholeness.'
Annie created this as a way to thank Laurence for the workshop,
using words that epitomize
his inner sovereign voice
and his humble but profound authority.

9 Crocodile

In the Reed or Skywalker Timewave, we are free to soar, to roam the skies and the future. Through the energy of 9 Crocodile, this manifests as the yearnings and deepest needs within us and within others.

What is the root of your personal aspirations? What is the hidden core drive that leads you to set goals?

A day to connect to the primal beginnings, the core needs that have led to your experience of now. The potentials of your future and our future are rooted in the evolutionary imperatives that started this reality thread. If you can be conscious of your core needs – the most basic urge for safety, survival territory, nourishment and growth of your life – then you can access creative free will on a deep level.

Today, acknowledge and accept the primal instinctive level of being. Come back to the imperative of survival of one’s essential being. Recognize the ultimate self-interest as being the expression of the Life Force.

If we lose sight of our need to survive on a spiritual and bodily level, we can easily end up trying to create purely from our mind. This disconnected ideological position then gives rise to a conflict in the body and with nature.

If we do not want to be ruled purely by instinctive unconscious desire, we must first recognize its validity. Then and only then can we take ideological positions.

A day of deeply felt connectedness.

8 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Full Moon today, 15:03 HK time; 8:02 UK time]

Commit to your sovereignty. Your true authority springs from your divine right of free will.

Look to recognize your sacred rights and unique essence, without ego inflation. Acknowledge the authentic individual that is within the matrix of interdependence and necessary dependence.

You are not an island, but you are still a unique facet of the human species.

Sun is the day of our essence and our most public face, the brightest and most positive side of our psyche. Today we need to commit to the radiance within us, so that the radiance we project is not just an empty image.

Feel the light, the good and the abundant within you; just be honest and find what you have inside. You may be feeling down and in some darkness – if so, just acknowledge any small light and power you can find. Then just turn the volume up a little.

Today, set your intention to BE your light and then relax and let go.

7 Storm

Today you can feel the need to break free from your patterning and/or can move into resonance with the soul’s need to liberate the self from the psychic matrix that you are presently experiencing.

Seven is the mystical number that reflects the great mysteries, making them accessible in a stepped-down form in our realm. Seven creates a resonance of understanding or feeling with ineffable consciousness.

Storm is the day of refreshment and novelty that vitalizes our life.

Today, be a resonant being by enjoying the spontaneous, as well as the interruptions to your normal routine and habits.

6 Obsidian (Obsidian Mirror, Flint)

The shadow of the world is found within, and through that understanding, a healing, resolution, release or acceptance is made possible.

One thing reflects upon another, or should we say deflects off you at an angle that creates an organic cadence.

Your attention moves from one thing to another, seeing the reflection of the new thing in the previous thing.

The day rounds out quite nicely.

Dynamic unity. Within the other, we find ourselves.

5 Earthmover

A day to keep coming back to the observation tower as the synchronic and interesting developments radiate out all around you.

You can see that evolution is not merely up, but all around – like an expanding sphere becoming more complexly organized; more dynamic, colourful and kaleidoscopic.

Feel the synchronic paths opening up all around you. Feel the force of life, as the primal force of growth never stops. Life is never static and today you can find yourself waking up to the unstoppable vitality of life that is inherent within everything, all of the time.

A great day to feel plugged into the evolutionary impulse that is at the core of the incredible global drama we are witnessing (if you are keeping up).

Either way, feel the power and the expectation from the centre of the Earth as it goes through this extraordinary awakening.

Extraordinary awakenings come with strong challenges as aspects of reality are dismantled and fall away. Our challenge is to keep re-finding our centre.  Look for the alignment with the life force – it IS available.

4 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

Stay grounded.

Solid truth from sobriety. Where appropriate say nothing, for silence will speak loudly.

When it is right to communicate today, be in your truth without apology, but say it calmly and with the humility you naturally find within yourself.

Your truth is your truth. There is a diverse range of basic philosophical positions but, even within each mindset, we find that everyone has their own slightly different version of the truth of reality and the experience of life.

Today recognize what is true for you is true for you, without doubting yourself. It might not be THE TRUTH, but is your perspective right now.

Find your centre and assume the confidence within your own gnosis. If it works for you, then it works.

Note from Carey:
Laurence’s ground-breaking developmental model, which he called the Enchantments of Life, maps the evolution of human consciousness. This was his truth and it was his life’s mission to share this profound understanding with others. 

The Enchantments model informed the rest of Laurence’s work. For example, his own understanding of the texture and energy of each of the 260 days of the Mayan Sacred Calendar year was underpinned not just by his 30-year study and daily experiential investigation of this calendrical system, but also by his own immersion in the higher levels of consciousness (‘higher’ purely in evolutionary terms – he was never ‘hierarchical’, in the sense that he recognized every Enchantment level is necessary and inevitable for the process of evolving consciousness. Where people are is where people are).

The Enchantments Principle and Laurence’s map have helped many people in many different ways – some say they became less judgemental of others, some say they became more empowered in their own truth and their own sovereignty (another of Laurence’s pivotal quests), yet more say that the Enchantments map helped to release them from fear and accorded them a sense of freedom and deep purpose.

Here are two of Laurence’s highly creative and illuminating flip-chart images, used in one or more of our workshops over the years.

The first illustrates Laurence’s own truth. Laurence was always solid with his own truth; he never doubted himself. However, he was one of the most genuinely humble, wise and loving people I have ever had the privilege to spend time with (far, far too little time), and he never used his truth to stomp on anyone else, believing fully in every person’s right to their own truth. He would be silent when appropriate; he would explain his own position – calmly, clearly and with genuine delight – when asked.

The second is a brief snapshot of the Levels of Truth, as understood through the Enchantments map.

3 Eagle

Get ready, get steady... wait...

Receive some inspiration today. This could include an understanding or an insight.

New specifics come to light in your awareness. A day to have a balanced view of the world as you fly high above it, yet look down with a readiness to engage.

Eagles have the ability to focus on the smallest details on the ground; they are comfortable and competent with the earthly realm.

A good day to enjoy the energy of anticipation. Stay ready for insights. 3 days can be frustrating, nervous, edgy and unsatisfying as movement begins –  it’s like revving up the engines.

Allow yourself to trust that the feeling you have is valid. If you feel restless, that is okay – accept it and carry on.

You are getting ready to perceive, getting ready to understand or getting ready to step into more authorship.

2 Jaguar

Today is about the challenge of stealth. Jaguar must use the power of stealth-magic wisely, whilst knowing that secrecy eventually turns to decay.

The duality of the Reed (Skywalker) Timewave is that although we can enjoy the view from above, we must simultaneously be connected through the feelings to the ground below. To this end, we call upon the shamanic cat instincts to observe and respond to the energy behind things. Feel and respond; listen with X-ray smell. Be alert to the unusual, to the discordant and to any strange feelings.

Today affords you the opportunity to become aware of how you can transform negative or blocked energies.

As we proceed through the Skywalker Timewave and the connection to our authority, we need to learn protection. Call upon the magnificence of the big cats or other jungle animals you feel an affinity with to teach you how to protect your sovereignty in the world.

Today, connect to the fierceness of the soul, the fierce courage that recognizes truth, love and divinity are your guiding lights and your legitimate experience.

1 Reed (Skywalker)

A new timewave starts today. 1 Reed or Skywalker is a strong masculine essence, not exactly flexible. The energy of this Skywalker timewave is like a shaft of light, a strong intention that sends a laser beam of consciousness up to the heavens.

A day and timewave of observation, to create a template and map that connects Heaven and Earth.

You can really enjoy a sense of mental freedom today and during this entire 13-day timewave. Tune in and take the opportunity to detach; look to the Sky and see things clearly. Great for work and creativity that involves laying out plans or big ideas.

Also, the perfect time to receive spiritual guidance from your other-world guides, or perhaps transcendental-yet-embodied spiritual teachers.

Reed rules the templates, the contexts or the ‘givens’, as well as the issue of authority.

The challenge and higher potential of Reed is to connect the beam of Light of Consciousness down into the ancestral heritage. For ancient indigenous people, the challenge was the opposite – to connect their ancestral roots up to the stars whilst developing the metaphysical or detached mind.

Time to Wake Up
We are always being enchanted by something; our experience is one of being enchanted. There are an almost infinite number of contexts, or deep structures of reality, that we are subject to. Each enchantment has an authorship, a creative intelligence, that has brought it into being and which is then sustained and developed with the co-operation and agreement of the many, mostly inadvertently.

Now more than ever we are to wake up to the contextual aspects of our society; to wake up to that which we assume, that which we inadvertently agree to.

It is time to transcend consensual society. Many of us are recognizing that the everyday experience of normal living is incredibly limited, compared to the extraordinary scope of real potentiality and the mind-boggling scale and diversity of what actually exists here on Earth.

Reality is up for negotiation. You are taking part in this process, consciously or unconsciously, to a lesser or greater degree.

In this timewave, step into your authorship and your authority, and question the limiting strictures of our mainstream world, because they are no longer appropriate.

The first step is to get off the world. Go to your shamanic Upper World Sanctuary and, on the way, cut through the illusions of limitation being thrown at you. The ghouls are scary, but their power is temporary – shake it off and go to your higher self.

13 Good Road (Human, Grass)

Feel the totality of your light emissions and how they attract people into your life. Open up your very being to allow in new possibilities. Within every situation, within every moment, is the potential for total freedom.

Enjoy the radiating potentials that life offers you, based on all the different desires you hold. Today, the energy spirals out onto another level. The 13th day releases and harvests the energy of the whole timewave. Today is the last day of the timewave of Flower or Sun.

Today enables you to see the totality of your desires and thoughts (which have manifested as the totality of your life experience) as radial lines of possible futures. This is most evident through all the people you have encountered over the last 13 days and the potential paths that open up through relating to each of them – thus reinforcing the associated energy.

Every thread of light that emanates from you draws in different events and people. And people, especially people, are each a synchronous web of unique connections.

Each person you encounter offers you a new doorway to reality, but do you see where each path can lead?

If so, you can choose to let go of some of those threads and release the energy of that which does not feel as if it would be fulfilling. This means releasing the desires and whimsical wants that lead you down limiting paths.

Liberate yourself by liberating some of the energy you expend in wanting that which is inappropriate to your best interests.

Today is Eb, Good Road, Human or Grass, the road of life’s adventure. The Good Road of Life is also the Milky Way and the Path of the Soul. Open your mind a full 360 degrees and be the empty conduit for the possibilities of the next timewave.

Light is a radiant energy, just like full consciousness. Galactic Time is also radiant. The Cosmos is all around, in all directions – and the Cosmos is not just space, but time/space. That’s right, the true nature of time is that it radiates out in all directions.

Thank you from me, and from the spirit of Laurence.

12 Monkey

Light creates all and today you can understand that light creates shadow – even darkness comes from light.

Play-work-vocation-fun-drama all seem so interlinked on 12 Monkey.

Novelty enlightens you today, so follow your curiosity and see what you can craft from what you find.

Sometimes you have to work hard to have fun. For some of us, fun comes from ‘serious’ issues – fun arises spontaneously – while some things that the world says are fun can feel like hard work.

In the Flower/Sun/Lord timewave, the 12th day is Monkey, giving us the understanding that the creative power of light is inherently filled with novel, fun, tricky and spontaneous energy.

The light that radiates from the Sun is not merely inert photons – it is real energy, energy that is vastly intelligent and a little wild. It is wild in as much as it has a potent volatile creativity, since it interacts with living organisms (be that a planet or an individual human) and it responds to the inbuilt directives of that organism.

These directives are the totality of the cacophony of desires, needs and impulses springing from the multiple levels of the bio-psychic organism.

Today is a good day to come up with highly creative solutions to major challenges.

Is he working? Playing? Having fun? Or finding a highly creative solution to something?

11 Dog

Let Someone In
What was solidifying yesterday becomes more transparent today. So, for example, if you were feeling stodgy and stuck within yourself yesterday, today a door opens to lead you into another emotional space that is more relational and more resonant with those around you.

Allow someone into your emotional space.

Alternatively and/or simultaneously, your relationship patterns with friends, lover or family turn inside out and offer you another perspective, not only on your relationships but on the whole arena of community, connection and relating.

The sovereignty of self grows today through the adaptive ability of the basic emotions and common needs we all have for the company of others. A good day to modify your needs or feelings.

Eleven day are always like doors opening after the solidity of 10 days.

LjL by Kit Yeung

[Extra message from Laurence, posted on 11 Dog of 25 March 2016:]
Today I was blown away by a photograph (above) and some kind words that appeared on my facebook wall. Artwork and words by Kit Yeung. Kit and her partner Garrick Cheng, who is a Holospheric Astrologer, are very good friends and a very talented couple.

Please forgive me but I want to post what Kit said about this photo...

‘He always sees from a different perspective which I never thought of.
He brought me to a different world
where I discovered my inner substance and true potential.
He enjoys being in the nature and connects deeply to it.
His mind is free, like birds flying in the limitless sky.
The most important thing is … he teaches me to “BE ME”.’

10 Water (Moon)

A day when your recent feelings solidify into a cohesive unified whole. Feel the complex array of feelings and recognize that through the agency of feeling, your spirit becomes real.

The 10th day of every timewave is the day when that timewave manifests into form. It is the day when the consciousness of the timewave – its particular Earth–Galactic signature – comes into solidity. The Flower (Sun, Lord) timewave, which is the energy of spiritual light and sovereignty, manifests as the soul.

Feel the soul as a tangible form today.

The manifestation of the timewave also means that the implicit challenge of the timewave is felt. The challenge and the manifest realization of Flower – the divine sovereign self – is in the subtle feeling body.

You do not get the fully reasoned understanding today, as that integrated understanding is always reserved for Day 12; however, you do have the opportunity to acknowledge the manifestation. In the case of the Flower Timewave, the way the subtle pranic light moves into density is the formation of our sophisticated, extraordinary and wide-spectrum feeling nature.

If you feel heavy today, process and lighten the emotional body with physical activity outdoors in nature. Set your intent to clear and cleanse; find the gratitude after owning the dark emotions.


‘The ability to hold Light is directly proportional to the courage to see darkness. Choosing to see just one creates distortions and illusions. It amazes me that something so simple and common sense can be so difficult to even discuss with “spiritual” people who insist on remaining “positive”. Actually, this avoidance is based on unacknowledged fear that their inner light might be somewhat “dispersed” by seeing darkness and therefore not giving the light much credit at all.

‘I think there’s also fear that they might somehow become “tainted” or the darkness might “manifest” in some form in their lives. But the opposite is true; it is the fear, especially unacknowledged, that has much more chance to manifest than darkness exposed to daylight and investigation. Just like we must be fearless about our own inner shadow, we must also be fearless about seeing this huge shadow of humanity. Or we will have the power to transform precisely nothing, within or without.’

Today, 26 August, is my birthday, the first time in 13 years I have not been with my beloved Laurence.
I will spend the day with my brother and his family, out on the Water,
and will of course be immersed in feelings of my Soul, my Heart and my Love.

9 Rabbit (Star)

Downloads and Inspirations
A day of awakening to your divine cosmic power. However, this can be accompanied by, ‘Yes, but how on Earth can I express my true self?’

Remember the part of you that comes from the stars and is connected through omnidirections to nature and to other realms of existence. Part of your essence exists as a non-local consciousness, not limited by this time frame.

Aspects of your divinity are converging from the future and from multiple timelines into your field of consciousness.

Consciousness and 9 Rabbit Days
Your life today is a result of past intentions. If you can accommodate the fact of multiple pasts, you are empowering yourself to be truly creative and can draw upon a far greater potential. Although this sounds incredibly abstract, allow your imagination to go there.

The rational mind reduces things (which is useful for everyday life) and the suggestion I am making sounds absurd to the rational mind – however, today is a good day to take the position of gnosis, that you are in essence an immortal soul and therefore are not merely contained in linear time. You cannot be reduced to a rational explanation.

On a higher level of reality or consciousness (than the human species presently and commonly enjoys) is a multiverse of radiant time. I am convinced of that reality and believe myself to have had a convergence of this sort in 1994, when an aspect of myself walked into my being in this realm. I have met many people who have had similar and far more profound experiences, including the full walk-in from another star system.

Extraterrestrials from other star systems do visit us from light years away, unbelievable distances, because they access superluminal consciousness and technology. In other words, it’s not so much space travel as time travel, which is not just a technology, but a state of consciousness. Linear time is derivative of or symbiotic with linear mind, whereas our greater consciousness is multidimensional.

Today, 9 Rabbit or Star, is a day of sublime creativity, actualized by assuming you have previously intended all that is in your life to be here and that you can pull in other realities.

How do we express it? How do we cope with the enormity of our true self?

Today we can connect to the eternal now and engage with the emerging unfolding reality that we are co-creating.

8 Deer (Hand, Grasp)

Holding on with just the right tension, being responsive to the alchemical mix of your life. Commit to a dynamic balance, the non-static union of opposites. Transcend the political correctness of gender politics to find true equality. Embody the male and female.

Commit and hold onto reality – but if your reality is too small, then let go and grasp a bigger one.

There is plenty of reality pie to go around, you know... recal-liberate your energy field.

Life is an adventure. It is easy to forget that if you listen to Channel Normal.

Is Life too tight? Well, mash it up and remix your energies.

Surf the channels of your energy field: Sex, food, music, silence, art, shamanics, yoga...

Get soul funking.

Just be flexible and do not believe you are forever that which you find yourself to be at any one point in time.

Commit to navigation – life is forever changing and your challenge is to flow with strength and grace.
