10 Reed (Skywalker)

Ideas from Heaven meet ideas from Earth.

Direction Dimension, by our friend Robert Morris Monroe, artist, mystic and yogi
With gratitude for the use of this beautiful painting

A day where you see the structure of your higher mind processes. Today, the 10th day of the Lizard (Seed) Timewave, allows you to see the present state of your Overmind, your higher thought forms.

An overview idea that has arisen from your intention meets and meshes with the descending ideas from your abstract ethereal template.


Heaven and Earth, by our dear friend Dominic Cryer

The Seed energy of this timewave solidifies into a thought form, from which an aspect of your reality will manifest later on down the line.

Today, 10 Reed, see the new program or programs you have created within your psyche from your recent intentions, either consciously or inadvertently.

See how your life situation as it stands is a product of your previous ideas, the ideas that stuck.

9 Good Road (Human, Grass)

A day of ‘Aha!’ and a sense of knowing that you already knew it.

Today brings a need for freedom, the open road and the far horizon – but this can also bring a sense of frustration at the way we are inhibited by our circumstances.

A day when you can recognize that your life is the result of deep choices you have made and that these choices have magnetically drawn you to people and circumstances which have sculpted your life.

Human or Grass reminds us that life is abundant – far beyond our mind’s capacity to understand – yet the greatest abundance of life comes to those who are humble.

The Long Good Road of Life teaches us humility, but it does not require us to close our minds nor our hearts.

Being humble does not mean you cannot dramatize your life, nor that you should live small.

Today offers the opportunity to see who you are in the community – with clarity regarding your place in society – and to appreciate the complex diversity of individuality within the framework of the cohesion of the human species.

To feel truly connected, we are called upon to inhabit the moment – that is the simple spiritual truth; to enjoy life as it is.

Enjoy your journey today and remember: Life is like a fairground ride.

8 Monkey

Today is a day to commit to your creative projects, to see the creative potentials in your work and to not take your commitments too seriously. Still commit, but take it lightly.

The challenge of today is based on attempting to weave all of the different threads of your life into one tapestry.

when I was involved in antique and tribal textiles.
Eric is now one of the world's leading specialists
in the culture and textiles of Southwest China's minority peoples


8 Monkey is a day of commitment with humour. Allow the spontaneous to enter into your activities without destroying the essential intent.

7 Dog

A good day for relationships. You can feel the resonance with others today.

7 Dog offers you the opportunity to feel how your intentions, your essential self and your life purpose resonantly fit with those of other people.

Enjoy people today. Be prepared to keep an ear open and look at people you encounter with a fresh perspective.

Today, step into the feelings and connect to companions that share your path – this can include spirit guides and totem animals, as well as human companions. 

Evoke the sense of the multitude of beings involved with you in this life. 

Even if you feel somewhat isolated, the truth is that we are accompanied by many, both seen and unseen.

6 Water (Moon)

Flow with it...

Created by Carey

The water of purification, flow and feeling is encoded with subtle filaments of structure today. A day of releasing and dissolving blocks to reveal an underlying story that is forming in your imagination.

Thank you to whoever created this beautiful artwork

Sense the wholeness and geometric patterning of your soul-felt impressions. Allow yourself to follow the rhythm of the day by honouring the gentle impulses that emerge from the depths of your being, moving you from one space to another. The movement of the day paints a complete picture if you stay with it.

It emerges...

5 Rabbit (Star)

Today is a day to be in your centre – the space from where you emanate your light, your inner radiance. 

'Star', created by LjL

You may feel overwhelmed by all that there is to do and maintain, in which case, feel into the centre through the portal of discomfort.

Look all around you. Take a 360-degree view; see the full circle of your energy. You have planted seeds and set things in motion in every direction. Rabbit is the proliferation of all things in all directions – fertility and abundance.


'Moss', created by LjL

Be in the centre and feel the creative essence that has sent ripples out in all directions. Your sound is going out like a subtle pervasive field of energy, interacting and gently colouring the whole conscious field of life.

If today, however, you feel disconnected from your centre, remember the key to feeling centred in the place of emanation is to first acknowledge and then to feel the pain of disconnection.

Rabbit can be superficial and is easily attracted to all that appears light, bright and beautiful – the glitz, the glamour and the obvious aesthetic. Today you are asked to find the true beauty of the subtle, immanent and all-pervasive Light.

The primal wound of disconnection from Source and the Central Light first surfaced in our awareness in early tribal culture. The primal wound is carried by the whole species, but we each feel it in a different area of our lives.

Reconnection to Source does not involve ‘getting rid of’ the wound; there can be no ‘absolute’ healing or total control of the psyche if we are to fully reconnect.

Live with the awareness of the subtle pain of imperfection, impermanence and the fragmentation of life, without dissolving into victimhood, and you can be a conduit for the radiance.

Connection is found through feeling into and then moving through the disconnection.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 5 Rabbit, first posted on 13 May 2014, but still entirely relevant today]
I have been tuning into different reality currents, specifically extraterrestrial threads that extend back into ancient history, which I am being shown yet again through narratives in my dreams – the past is not fixed.

What timeline will we choose?

It is important that those who are awake hold a benevolent vision for our Earth. A benevolent vision for life is based on spiritual truth – the cosmos and our planet are wholly abundant – whereas the mainstream vision of impoverishment and lack of resources is based on control and negative agendas to create a timeline that supports ownership of this planet and the human species.

The greatest resource on planet Earth is human consciousness.

What ‘they’ want is the human soul, not money – no, real energy and power is always spiritual. All else is illusory and impermanent.

Your attention is the tool for your soul; focus your attention on benevolent abundance.


Changing Realities, flipchart by LjL

Now, this level of reality and the understanding of different timelines is of course way beyond everyday life, but we are evolving towards it. The evolution of consciousness has a structure to it.* We develop, both as individuals and collectively, one stage at a time.

The majority of people on Earth are currently emotionally centred in the realities ruled by the philosophies of absolutism or scientism. In simple terms, these two levels are the good/bad moralistic stage, and the materialistic stage [Saturn Enchantment and Uranus Enchantment]. These two stages of culture  – which we are all also subject to – are controlled by the media narrative that encourages a polarity within a small context. 





The next stage of culture that is emerging is something akin to a spiritual revival [Neptune Enchantment], but even this narrative is being engineered – largely on the internet – by agents who disrupt free thinking and encourage mass mind. The key weapon that is used is the environment, the global warming meme, which is a gross reductionist interpretation of the environmental instability we are witnessing. That meme supports a reduction of the population and a corporatized socialism – ie impoverishment for the majority – whilst taking attention away from environmental pollution that is created by war, oil, chemical companies and the media itself. Remember: The environment first and foremost is an environment of consciousness.



Reality is led by light; light overcomes darkness. A small minority of people who are lit up will light up the whole environment, so do not be disheartened by the lack of intelligence in the mass mind. The collective heart is still good, but contextually we still need to have individuals who can see the big picture positively.

The level of reality where time itself is understood as fluid [Pluto Enchantment] is beyond normal psychology, but is an organic stage of development that arises from the whole stratum of awareness which has been empirically mapped by developmental psychology. As we move towards the technological singularity, the very substance of experience undergoes transmutation. High technology is linked to the co-creator stage of the soul, where nature is created. 



What we might term ‘low-level ETs’ look to invade not through war, but through technological control of attention. But there is and can be no control unless there is compliance and mass hypnotism, for it is the soul energy that is being competed for. The global elite, so called, are all subject to higher dimensional forces – they are not really in control.

Each stage of consciousness has its own history and story, which is symbiotic with its unique relationship with time and space, or the space/time calibration.

The Mayan Sacred Calendar connects you to the interface between Earth and Cosmos, the planetary scale of consciousness. Stay tuned in and envisage the whole Earth as a vital creative force that is plugged into the source of all life and all creation. This energy has no limits.

4 Deer (Hand, Grasp)

Photo-collage of Laurence by the fabulously talented Kit Yeung

Today, open your proverbial palm and see what you are holding. Anything that we desire too strongly would not actually satisfy us or make us happy. Grasping brings anxiety and inner torment; in the extreme, grasping creates hell and the hellish moments of life.

According to Carl Gustav Jung, hell represents, among every culture,
the disturbing aspect of the collective unconscious. [image from Wikipedia]

Happiness is the true acknowledgement of what we have. Having-ness is a joy.

The Deer is powerful yet graceful and somewhat elusive. The refined consciousness of Deer requires both male and female aspects of our psyche. Embody the grace, stillness and silence of the Deer.

Today – being a 4 Day and therefore a foundation day, as well as being Deer/Hand/Grasp – is a day to seize the moment, to develop ideas or plans and to go the next step, without necessarily knowing the outcome. Take the next step then leave it at that for now.

Hold something, without grasping; exercise some control; achieve something, then let go.

Do not overrun...

3 Skull


Day 3 of each timewave is generally energizing, while Skull rules completions and endings.

Today is a good day to make many small decisions. Be ruthless if necessary. Get real.

Be energized with the vitality of this day through those little completions. Cut off and restart; clarify your life through the ability to release clutter and distractions.

Keep it simple.

Edit your life.

Get to the point.

2 Serpent

The second day of each timewave presents the duality that exists within that specific timewave. Serpent days in general concern physical vitality, amongst other things.

The challenges of survival and making a living can come to the fore today – the issues of health versus money.

Today can be a challenging day, or just a day of opposites. 2 Serpent represents the dual impulses of the life force inherent within all growth – security versus the urge to grow.

Allow the two forces to be. Feel the creative tension that builds as this is your power, which you will soon be able to harness.

If you feel tense, be sure to get into the body today. Move and dance.

To be aware is to bring the light of awareness into the world. Hold the polarities within you; see both sides of the potentiality; and get in touch with your body and your instinctive power, for that is the intelligence of survival.

1 Lizard (Seed)

A new 13-day timewave, that of Lizard or Seed (Kan), begins today.

Sterculia (tropical chestnut), with its many seeds.
Apparently named after Sterculius, the Roman God of Manure,
for the delightful aroma of its flowers! (Photo by Carey)

The Lizard or Seed Timewave gives you the opportunity to be centred in your essential template, which is the subtle manifest form of your divine essence as expressed in this life. Your template holds the basic intention for your life, your dharma and the structure within which your free will operates. Your intentions for different aspects of your life are the seeds that you generate within your mind and imagination. The more aligned you are with your master template, the more effective your intentions are.

Lizards enjoy the abundance of the Sun. They are masters at storing the Sun’s energy, just like the seed does. Seed is the living example of universal abundance. Every seed contains a life; every living thing produces seeds in outrageous amounts. Nature does not adhere to ‘one plus one equals two’ – the totality of life is not just the sum of its parts, but an ever-expanding proliferation of life.

Absorb the light of the Sun consciously today to enhance your awareness of your divine intelligence. Recognize that light carries the seed for all manifest form –  light is intelligent – and by so doing, you increase your connection to your master template.

This 13-day timewave gives you the opportunity to plant many seeds for your life.

Today, just start with the simplicity of recognizing that there is a template of your being and for your life.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 1 Lizard/Seed:]
The Seed (aka Lizard) Daykeeper is a community networker, as each seed is both separate unto itself, yet embodies the morphogenic field to which it belongs.

Today, connect to your resonant energy fields, for they extend beyond the limits of your mind. Human intentions only grow and fully flower in the fecundity of community.

In this 13-day period, we can connect to the underlying intelligence of this momentous period of the human story – the cyclic change of the 2012 era and beyond. Trust your sense of how life is changing; trust your insights. Your direct experiential knowledge will give you a facet of the truth – not the whole truth, but a facet of the truth.

This is extremely valuable, so make the effort to connect and understand what it is you are being given, without presuming it to be the absolute definition.

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

Cosmic Awe, created by Carey

Let go and jump into the mystery; open yourself to go beyond what you know. The energy of today is conducive to creating space in your life for the renewed clarity of intention that will be emerging during the next timewave.

A great day for contemplating the stars and the cosmos and feeling the bliss and awe that comes when you allow yourself to reach out into the unknown.

The Monkey Timewave ends with cosmic awe. Monkey draws upon this experiential truth to retain his humour and spontaneity.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 13 Foredawn:]
Today, it could feel that your mind is wandering, as if the furniture of your psyche is being shifted around.

Also, you might feel like you are locked inside your own psychological complexity, unable to function clearly or even leave the house.

If this is the case, remember: Behind the veil of the mind, energy is being adjusted as a new space is being prepared. Tomorrow (1 Lizard/Seed) will feel far more together and coherent.

Today the Monkey Timewave disintegrates and releases its energy. So let go, maybe celebrate the mystery of life… The meaning of yesterday now dissipates, so in the release you create space. Be empty and enjoy the freedom of that. The darkness of the night sky breeds anticipation.

The wisdom of slackers, the surrender of the mystic, the muse of the dreamers are all in operation as you explore the extraordinary potentials of your life.

Create a space, for tomorrow you plant a seed that can grow before your eyes... it might just be miraculous...

12 Wind

Today, the Monkey Timewave reveals its order and rationality. When Wind falls on a 12 day, it is more stable; the mind works in an orderly fashion. The trickster element within your life reveals its wisdom in a way that makes sense – if you are listening.

Created by Carey

Wind is the transmitter of ideas, the messenger, the activator. It can also be impatient, anxious or angry.

Today, harness the power of Wind and bring it under the control of your reasoning. This will allow you access to exciting and fresh ideas that motivate yourself and others.

Today is a good day for understanding the chaos that has recently arisen in your life and how it has brought you gifts.

11 Crocodile

Today we are asked to nurture our creations by allowing for fallow time.

The Virgin and Infant, by Jean Fouquet, 1450

The strong confidence of yesterday’s light dissolves into a brooding need to have some soulful security, to slow down and to open to the feminine.

Allow more into your area of love; it is a day of acceptance and nurturing.

Nutrients from Arcadia flow into your psyche and you can share the love.


Probably my favourite Renaissance painting, The Birth of Venus (mid 1480s)
by Sandro Botticelli, in the Uffizi Gallery, Florence

The primal birth of the Earth, the Goddess realm, resonates through the ethers as the door opens to the ever-present birth of Earth.

The question is: Are you still being nurtured by what you think is feeding you?

Are your expressions and is your creativity nurturing you?

Also, are you allowing yourself enough space in between your activities for the primal connection to Source to be felt?

Make sure that you are not becoming a robot. Allow for the ever-present primal energy of the Goddess to enter your life.
