1 Lizard (Seed)

 [Sunday 4 October 2020]

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

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. Recognise 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 recognising 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 to understand what it is you are being given, without presuming it to be the absolute definition.

[* Laurence contended that the 2012 era began in 1986 and will last well into the 2020s.]

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

[Saturday 3 October 2020] 

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 (Lizard or Seed 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

[Friday 2 October 2020. Full Moon in Hong Kong at exactly 05:05]

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.

Harness the power of Wind;

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 you and others.

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

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.

The Virgin and Infant,
by Jean Fouquet, 1450

 

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.

10 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Wednesday 30 September 2020]

A day of manifest light. The Monkey Timewave manifests as the light within the trickster, which is humour with grace and the radiance of the heart opening.

When the face is lit up with a smile, the light of the Sun can be seen.

Today is all about smiling.

That does not necessarily mean grinning with recognition at everyone you pass in town today – it could be a song or a dance that brings a deep smile to your face.

Smile with the recognition of your divinity and the blessing of being sovereign of your personal reality. Be conscious of natural light today. Today is a day when the subtle creative light of existence – the wholly affirmative energy within life – manifests and is easily accessible through the agency of natural manifest light.

 

Monkey tells us that life is drama, full of dark humour, paradox and trickery, and that the key to playing the game successfully with a positive attitude requires that we draw upon the light.

Thank you Roberta Raine

 

The Divine Light contains the intelligence of existence and we are processors of light. The intelligence of all life far surpasses the intelligence of any machine or technology, no matter how advanced it becomes. In psychology, the computer metaphor has gradually replaced the study of the soul. This metaphor for the human mind (replacing soul) is known as the cognitive approach. We are indeed partially cognitive – that is, information processors – but the internet is already more efficient than any human for accessing all of the information of human knowledge, no matter how bright the individual.

So are we to surrender our divinity to the machine?

 

Thank you Karen Argyle

 

No, because the Divine Light contains the intelligence of Life, which includes far more than information – it is imbued with the ability of unlimited creativity. We are co-creators, far more than we are information processors; co-creators who are interconnected to the unlimited adaptability, spontaneity and joy of creation itself.

In today’s world, as the technological continues to progress, it is increasingly true that our connection to our sovereign light, our creative channel, is the most valuable commodity we own.

Today, bring more light into your being by smiling.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 10 Flower:]
Today is 10 Flower (also known as Sun or Lord) in the Monkey Timewave. Today, Monkey manifests as the ability to draw light directly from Source within the dark and unknown chapters of life. Monkey says that the rules of life are forever changing and that we can play – and should play – by our own rules when the situation demands.

Flower is the manifestation of a plant celebrating life. The plant synthesises light directly to sustain itself. We, on the other hand, in our present state of evolution, require the synthesised light that we get through eating plants. However, can we also synthesise light directly from the solar radiation that infuses the atmosphere? I think we are already doing that, to a certain extent, and that the body can synthesise vitamins and minerals from the atmosphere.

Light from the Sun is encoded with all the energy information for life on Earth – and that includes our consciousness. Higher levels of consciousness within us equate to and draw upon the unseen light from the Galactic Core and all of the stars that surround us. Beyond that, our higher levels of consciousness have resonance with, or are sourced from, galaxies all over the Universe, the Universe itself and then the light of the Multiverse.

 

Awaken, by Cameron Gray,

The Moon also plays an important role in transducing light, by reflecting the Sun and, in effect, by enabling us to reflect upon ourselves through our feelings. The planets in the Solar System also transduce light into different frequencies. The Solar System is mostly made up of ‘space’ that is contained within the auric field of the Sun – the Sun’s influence – which extends out to the Oort cloud.

‘Space’ is actually filled with plasma, which is the fundamental state of matter, a kind of liquid-gas with very strange properties. Scientists have found that plasma exhibits signs of being a life form. In laboratory conditions, it has been found that two plasma fields can communicate and reproduce.

I consider plasma to be the conduit for consciousness.

The movements of the planets through the Sun’s plasmic ocean (the Solar System) change the symphony and the arrangement of frequencies. This is the basis for astrology.

9 Storm

[Tuesday 29 September 2020]

The shaft of light then enters the drama, a window of awareness into the completion of the cycle and the new space being offered…

The Mayan Sacred Calendar measures a different but ever-present realm; it is the layer of the tapestry of reality that connects the Earth, Nature and the Human World with the greater Cosmos. This day, 9 Storm, is a wake-up day.

A day of realisation. Not a rational understanding, but a soul-felt liberating connection, a memory from the future. A reminder that you were meant to drop that ‘thing’ you had already planned to let go of, or to break out of ‘this’, or to wake up from ‘that’.

 

A sudden bolt of lightening acts to cleanse, purge, purify and catalyse you. This could include meeting some strange but familiar person.

A good day to feel the Spirit of Freedom that lives within you.

9 Storm is a day to be alert to a peak experience, as a hole in time opens up in the most unexpected place and in the most unexpected moment.

Committing to the Game of Life requires accepting the totality that results from your desires – which includes living with the shadow of what you want. However, the price is never as high as it might seem. The shadow is a scary spectre that dissolves with the light of your courage as you open up to new dimensions.

‘Mirror, mirror on the wall: Who am I?’

Today is a day where you can recognise how you are attracting what you ask for. You have the life that reflects the totality of your emanations – what you put out – and you are challenged to commit to accepting that, to seeing the shadow and the price of your desires. However, looking deeper into the smoky mirror of eternity, you will find that other worlds open up as you make the commitment.

 

Image from here,
with a wonderful backstory!

Day 8 of each 13-day timewave is a day of balanced, controlled commitment; it is the energy of feeling prepared. Obsidian is a day of truth and surrender, of accepting the shadow and the universal reflection of one’s reality at the moment.

 

However, as we are in the Monkey Timewave, there is a subtext of ‘Do not get too serious or rigid with your commitment.’

Surrender your emotional tightness so as to open the heart and be a divine mirror.

The Monkey knows that on each level of the game, he faces his shadow.

In so doing, he is able to create and to weave new fabric into reality.

7 Earthmover

[Sunday 27 September 2020]

A good day to feel a resonance or actually synchronise with the impulse of life to change towards the beneficial and the magnificent. 7 Earthmover is a high-energy day, full of magical potential.

Take time to remind yourself and to create some space, to experience the fact that all of Nature is alive, just like you. Feel the vital fizz of life; see it all around you.

Alternatively, a day to enjoy the magical surprise of a spontaneous element that comes into your life which takes you off track – meaning off the linear path of linear mind, so that you can integrate and synchronise with the force of evolution.

To be a Daykeeper means to follow the rhythm of the 260-day calendar each and every day. Slowly, patiently, receive the pulse of the vast reality beyond the mundane realm of worldly matters.

The pulse resonates at the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere where our planet is looking out into the depths of the Cosmic Ocean. Simultaneously, this pulsation is immanent within all material concerns.

Today is a day of receptive, responsive action and surrender, with an easy strength of mind. Assume a relaxed stance and be ready to respond with nobility and creativity.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 6 Vulture:]
As consciousness expands, so does our embrace of more time and more space. As we evolve, the complexity of time and space also increases, since we are able to hold a greater variety of time frames at once. This increasing embrace also includes connection to larger and more complex scales of community.

[Friday 25 September 2020]

A great day to see yourself in the centre of your world. See the environment all around you, above you and below you.

The difference between being isolated and dislocated from all that circles you, and being connected and engaged with your world is whether the heart is open.

Composite created by Carey,

Keeping the heart open requires an enormous effort and diligence in the world today, for we also have to be discerning about what and who we open up to. Utilise the clarity, compassion and precision of Eagle to locate the most appropriate place in your world today and then apply your efforts there.

Open Heart by Carey

A day of empowerment. Speak from your vision, because the vision you have today is nicely centred and you are able to recognise the joy of material reality whilst holding the wisdom you have accrued.

Empower yourself with Eagle energy today and you will attract more abundance into your life – if not today, then soon.

The clarity you have today needs to be appreciated and recognised for its magnetic ability.

Laurence James Lucas, more than anyone else I have ever met,
had an extraordinary ability to keep his heart always open.

Today, which happens to be my Mayan birthday,
and every day, I call upon his Spirit to help me
by imbuing me with some of his clarity, his compassion,
his breathtaking depth of vision, his irrepressible joy in life,
his refined discernment, his unique capacity to empower those around him,
his wisdom, his humour, his contagious laughter
and his ever-open heart.

A good day to feel grounded within the matrix of the living spirits of the Shamanic Earth. Allow the energy and vibrancy of the natural forces to lead you.

The creative process is a lateral process; the foundation of its energy is derived from the Mystery and the Muses.

The Shamanic World is fully inhabited by spirits, all vying to contribute to the open channel of your psyche as you endeavour to express the moment and your state of being, whether by painting, writing, dancing or solving problems.

Today, stay relaxed so as to be alert to the relevant moments when you can achieve something. Do not try to work hard all day on something. Do not labour your projects.

Today you can create some structure in your work fairly spontaneously, but do not overrun. Know when to stop and just chill.

Accept what is and recognise the ongoing dramas, struggles and duality of life that you encounter as part of the terrain and experience. It is what it is.

3 Reed (Skywalker)

 [Wednesday 23 September 2020] 

A day of fresh ideas. Open yourself to the sky, send up a beam of light and receive inspiration. Open yourself to the descending guidance from higher intelligence that will be coming down into your expectant neural network.

Remember: 3 Days can be unsettled, but they do stimulate the movement of energy within the soul.

Within this disturbance, today is a great day for inspirational energy comprised of abstract ideas and complex big-picture patterns. The energy of 3 Reed (Skywalker) will be illuminating and will reveal the plethora of potentials and opportunities inherent within this Monkey Timewave.

Appreciate the fact that the nature of the day might make it hard for you to settle into one thing; accept the restlessness you feel as product of the higher or more exploratory calling you have.

Thanks to Vicky Baker Eichman
for this wonderful photo

Monkey is curious and inquisitive and the timewave energy sets the scene for new creative solutions to your tasks. Today, you can access the knowledge that comes from understanding cosmic forces and planetary movements. It might be a good day for astrological investigation!

A good day for exploring the pristine clarity of ideas unencumbered by emotions...
