5 Serpent

[Tuesday 2 February 2021]

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.

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).

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.

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
us understand the evolution of human consciousness.

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.

Because of this awakening to 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 mid-1980s and will continue to affect us well into the 2020s.]

4 Lizard (Seed)

[Monday 1 February 2021. Happy Imbolc! Sun at 15° Aquarius]

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.

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.

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 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)

[Sunday 31 January 2021]

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

[Saturday 30 January 2021]

Feedback, receiving communications and releasing ideas.

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

Image by Adrian Sommeling, from here

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

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.

Dancing with the Wind,
by Carey

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.

The evolutionary impulse of spirit towards greater union is an oscillating process of merging and separating, cooperation 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.

Become the Captain of your own Enterprise and make a black-and-white decisive move.

Prepare to make it so...

1 Crocodile

[Friday 29 January 2021. Full Moon 03:16 Hong Kong time]

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.

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)

[Thursday 28 January 2021. Full Moon 19:16 UTC/GMT (tomorrow morning in Hong Kong at exactly 3:16am)]

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

[Wednesday 27 January 2021]

Refresh the Mind, Free the Mind

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

Consciousness and the plasma brain, by LjL

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.

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.

Fractal storm,

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.

Saturn and Uranus Enchantments,
flipchart by LjL

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.


Gottfried Leibniz
, 1670

[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.

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

Cosmic Storm of Stars

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.


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 to 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.

Charles Darwin
(1809-1892)

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 (Obsidian Mirror, Flint)

[Tuesday 26 January 2021]

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.

David Mullins

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.

Image found on Google

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.

10 Earthmover

[Monday 25 January 2021]

Something materialises today – this is a small piece of starlight that has appeared before you. Today brings change into your life in this physical realm, revealed through and recognisable to you by synchronicity coming into form.

Tectonic Heights:
The energy that sculpts landscapes, by LjL

Meaningful coincidences coalesce into something tangible. The synchronic trail, or the multiplicities of opportunities, reach a temporary full stop. Perhaps the Zen Master’s stick has just hit you on the back?

Something might seem to have fallen apart. You may feel shaken or disturbed, so we ask, ‘What needs to broken up, in order for your life force to flow?’

Earthquakes allow the hidden riches to surface, but first there may be a disturbance to shake us out of our comfort zone.

Converging Threads
of Change, by LjL


The synergy and integration of past aspirations and ideas can come together today as they are forced to merge and manifest. If you are tuned into the 260-day pulse, there is a little earth-shaking moment for you as several threads from your subjective reality – be they fantasy or intention – crunch and converge into form.

Generally the energy is vitalising. Take note of what has manifested and how it has manifested.

Suddenly the change will be looking right at you...

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 10 Earthmover, first posted on 10 Earthmover of 13 December 2013, but still very relevant today:]

Do You Hear the Creaking of the Tectonic Movements within the Planetary Organism?
What we are now experiencing on Earth is a fundamental core transformation. The cogs of history are grinding; slow, deep, profound and enduring changes are taking place within the Planetary Organism. This evolutionary process affects every aspect of life.

We can just take shelter and wait.

Or, we can directly connect to the vital force that is underneath this hitherto unseen scale of planetary change. How do we as sovereign souls do this? How can we, as mere individuals, come into alignment with the creaking, shifting tectonic movements of the environment of consciousness in this epoch-unfolding drama?

The answer is … only through holding our attention and our focus on building, securing and incrementally walking forwards through daily practice and navigation of the contextual frequencies.

A chasm exits between the internet and the real-world experience. Will you traverse that gap? Will you convert and translate the inspiration from the virtual world into your direct experience?

The informational flow of the internet is a wonderful tool. However, it is distracting a lot of people from getting on with sculpting the energy that is required, which is based on plugging into the enormous influx of cosmic energy that is actually available and at hand.

Now, more than ever, we are to call upon guidance, protection and healing to utilise the age-old protocols of spiritual practice, whilst tuning into the unique complex array of the frequencies of the present era.

Supernova

This is from an article I stumbled upon yesterday – yet another article on what I call the Cosmic Influx, aka the 2012 Effect: A Supernova That Exploded In 1987 Caused Something So Huge That It Affects Us All

‘Cosmic rays are light waves of a very high frequency that have been shown to transform human DNA – therefore affecting human evolution.

Even as far back as 1973, famous science writer and astronomer Carl Sagan spoke about how cosmic rays cause DNA mutations and would have affected human evolution.

Composite created by Carey

Cosmic rays are passing through the Earth and our bodies all the time due to ambient processes of the cosmos – hence why there is always a slow and gradual evolution taking place. However, in 1987 – the same year when a spark of change was being felt across the world – something different took place. A Supernova occurred close enough to the Earth that it was visible to the naked eye. Cool, but what does that have to do with anything?

Around and after the year of 1987, many other celestial events have occurred; the most known being a massive increase in solar flares (also producing cosmic rays) and a rapid decrease of the Earth’s magnetic field – both of which are happening to this day. The Earth’s magnetic field is known to act as a shield against high frequencies… so what happens when it weakens? All the goodness of high frequencies seeps right in. Now many would think this is crazy because of the common belief that they are dangerous, however the purpose of cosmic rays and other high frequencies isn’t to fry us alive; but to gradually instigate the evolution of our DNA; the blueprint of our level of consciousness.
