10 Wind

[Sunday 10 February 2019]

The Reed (Skywalker) Timewave manifests today 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 epitomise your inner sovereign voice, your authority.

Ideas you have been working on or contemplating come into some communicable form today.

9 Crocodile

[Saturday 9 February 2019]

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.

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

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. Recognise 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 recognise its validity. Then and only then can we take ideological positions.

A day of deeply felt connectedness; a day of awakening around emotions and the energy of the heart.

8 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Friday 8 February 2019]

Created by Carey

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

Look to recognise 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. 

Lamma Island

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

[Thursday 7 February 2019]

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. 

Composite created by Carey using various images found on Google

7 is the mystical number that reflects the great mysteries, making them accessible in a stepped-down form in our realm. Day 7 in every timewave creates a resonance of understanding or feeling with ineffable consciousness.

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

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

 Image from Google

Your body is electrical, not just chemical. Switch the emphasis of your bio-circuitry from chemical-electrical to electro-chemical through intentionality.

The electrical component is more in resonance and interacts more directly with your energy fields and with the greater electrical universe – the plasmic ocean we call space. The energy fields are the templates and determiners of the chemical form.

Novelty changes habitual patterns; it is analogous to an electric storm in your consciousness ... be exhilarated.

Light and Shadow

Light and Shadow
A great day for finding the overlighting organisation and unified intelligence that resolves the paradoxes of any situation you find yourself in.

Today we can see more clearly the role of darker motivations within a bigger picture. The shadow issues are just part of the situation and do indeed play a part in making up a glorious unity.

Feel comfortable with your own paradoxical nature.
 

Self reflections, photo thanks to dear Vicky Baker Eichman

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.

Priscilla the Pig, Queen of our local wild boar
just outside our home.
Happy New Year of the Pig to us all!

Today is Chinese New Year, which always falls on the second New Moon after the Winter Solstice. Yesterday we said goodbye to the Year of the Dog, today we welcome in the Year of the Pig. May it be happy, healthy, vital and plentiful for us all xxx

Graphic by LjL

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 organised; 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.

Evolution, flipchart by LjL

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.
 

Evolution 2, flipchart by LjL

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.

Stay grounded

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.

Flipchart by Laurence, representing his own truth

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, recognise 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.

Anticipation
Laurence on Power Station Beach, May 2011, thanks to André Eichman

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 great day to have a balanced view of the world as you fly high above it, yet look down with a readiness to engage. 

Created by Carey

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.

Day 3 of every timewave 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

[Saturday 2 February 2019. Imbolc (scroll down for more information)]

Created by Carey (jaguar found on Google)

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. 

Image from Google

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 this 13-day 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 which recognises that truth, love and divinity are your guiding lights and your legitimate experience.

[Message from Laurence about Imbolc]

Imbolc (also known as Brigid's Day or Candlemas)
In the Celtic Wheel and the cycle of the solar calendar, Imbolc traditionally falls on 2 February.* 

This is a real gateway, like all of the pagan or Medicine Wheel festivals or markers, based on real astronomical alignments – in this case, midway between the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox** – and the annual cycles that directly affect our bodies and, therefore, indirectly affect our social year.

Image from Google

Imbolc is the early sprouting of the new energy first conceived at Winter Solstice. It is also the time for Spring cleaning of mind, body, feelings and our space. Space clearing is incredibly powerful. Each time I do it, I am reminded just how immediate the effect is – it literally creates more psychic space. We feel so much lighter. The clearing and cleaning is to make way for the upcoming Spring energy; it is preparation for birth with the Spring Equinox.

[Notes from Carey]

* These dates refer to the Northern Hemisphere. Imbolc in the Southern Hemisphere falls on 2 August.
** The actual astronomical cross-quarter date for Imbolc this year is 4 February 2019 (exact time 10:10 UTC/GMT), when the Sun is at 15° Aquarius. ‘The solar events are determined astronomically, and vary a little bit due to factors such as leap year. The true cross-quarter days are actually a few days later than the traditional dates of Imbolc, Beltaine, Lughnasadh, and Samhain, and sources vary as to the exact dates of their observance as well.’ http://www.russellcottrell.com/celticdate/

1 Reed (Skywalker)

[Friday 1 February 2019]

Created by Carey

A new timewave starts today. The energy of the Reed or Skywalker Timewave (Ben) is like a shaft of light, a strong intention that sends a laser beam of consciousness up to the heavens.

1 Reed is a strong masculine essence, not exactly flexible.

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. 

Image from Google

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 cooperation 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; quite simply, we need to question our present human reality. The enormous awakening of consciousness within the domain of Earth means that many of us are recognising 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)

[Thursday 31 January 2019]

Photo styled by Kit, taken by Garrick Cheng

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.

Day 13 of every timewave releases and harvests the energy of the whole timewave. 13 is the number of the Moon; there are 13 Moon Cycles in just over one year. It’s just not that neat a number, is it? The linear mind can’t really control 13… thank the Goddess! 13 is also the number of free energy; 13 is a Fibonacci number – and the Fibonacci spiral connects the geometries and makes them spin, grow and morph onwards and upwards.

Today, the last day of the Flower or Sun Timewave, 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. Every individual is 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, the Galactic Spiral 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. This the science of the mystery. 

Image from Mayan Majix, used with very kind permission

According to Ian Xel Lungold, the Mayan Calendar Keeper now walking on the other side, Galactic Butterfly is the name used by the indigenous people for this symbol. It is ‘said to represent all of the consciousness that has ever existed in this galaxy. This is all of our physical ancestors both human, animal, reptile, fish, shell fish, plants as well as the consciousness which organized all of the raw material from a whirling disk into stars then planets and solar systems.’

12 Monkey

[Wednesday 30 January 2019]

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

Photo thanks to André Eichman

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.

Photo thanks to Annie Knibb

In the Flower/Sun/Lord Timewave, Day 12 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 those planets or individual humans) and it responds to the inbuilt directives of that organism.

Photo of trichomes by Frank Fox, from here

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.

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 sphere 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.

Day 11 of each timewave always feels like doors are opening after the solidity of Day 10.

[Extra message from Laurence, posted on 11 Dog of 25 March 2016:]
Today I was blown away by a photograph (below) and some kind words that appeared on my facebook wall.

Artist Kit Yeung and her partner Garrick Cheng, who is a Holospheric Astrologer, are good friends and a very talented couple.
 

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

‘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 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”.’
