1 Wind

[Thursday 9 February 2023]

Get ready for a new 13-day timewave that begins today as the Wind (Ik) archetype activates.

Breath of the Divine,
by Laurence James Lucas

The Wind God brings fast decisions and clarity of mind, and activates your quick responses to all things.

The next 13 days can bring you clarity about what you have to say to the world, or clear communications with loved ones.

The Breath of the Divine will send you a message today – a sudden noise, an angry word, a disembodied spirit whispering in your ear, a gust of wind or a vibration from an animal. Any of these can activate you. Wind activates without sentiment; Wind asks us to be detached.

Wind can polarise an issue to push you further. Sometimes we have to see the world in black and white before we can proceed.

A timewave of powerful messaging, twittering, phoning, emailing and the spoken word. Be a messenger and a receiver with a ‘Yes, let’s do it!’ attitude.

The power of wind,
our old path after a typhoon:
Sambal wagging to say,
'Yes, let's do it! Let's go for a walk!'

Alternatively, your communication exchange might be solely with the Source or with your own subconscious. And remember: You are a transmitter and a receiver.

Today, do those yogic breathing exercises.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 1 Wind, first posted on 1 Wind of 21 February 2013:]
My morning practice seemed very clear, despite having had wine and a meal out last night. A powerful Chinese spirit (it was suggested I was in the presence of a Master) visited me during my meditation.

Of course I will investigate this presence, rather than unconditionally accepting him – and it was a ‘him’. But the feeling was extremely peaceful, warm and powerful. The spirit certainly evoked the Wind Spirit resonance.

With this type of energy, we have to learn to recognise it, but not embellish it with emotional projection. Remember: Wind asks us to be detached.

13 Crocodile

[Wednesday 8 February 2023]

13 Crocodile is a powerful day.

The principle of 13 is movement in all directions. We have 13 major articulations in the body – imagine them all being used simultaneously! You would have a mad dance that would release your psychic energy.

Today, being a 13 Day, is the release of the timewave energy, a day of letting go and opening up, a spiralling out of the feeling and consciousness of the last 12 days. The soulful signature of the Muluc Timewave (Water or Moon) is powerful and yet dissolving today.

Crocodile is the primal and also watery state of base consciousness – undifferentiated, engulfed in the Goddess, irrational, filled with chaotic latency and stirring turbulence, ready to birth... The energy of the day is one of opening, expanding and surrendering to receive powerful feminine energy.

Surrender to life today and it should treat you well.

The soul’s need for nourishment is revealed to you today. Your soul, and the souls of those around you, have a heightened sense of the need to be fed with more primal connection and with the ineffable universal love and nourishment.

The Water or Moon Timewave ends today with this great release and surrender.

12 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Tuesday 7 February 2023]

A great day for a deep understanding of your life.

Central Sun,
by Laurence James Lucas

You are master of your soul; this is your sovereignty. Today, access the light of the soul to aid in the unfoldment to come.
 
Utilise your imagination and your mind to understand your life directly from within yourself, in order to perceive the complex systemic unity of things as they stand within you.
 
The understanding of the soul and soulfulness is available today. A good day to express the subtle; to write poetically, yet with meaning. The subtle has power today – light rays can instruct you and teach you substantial truths. Use the mind and imagination to empower yourself with sacred connection.

The imagination is a two-way plasma mirror, not just a screen for projecting fantasy upon, but also a receiver from anywhere in the omnidirectional realms that you can reach with your intent.

Understand the expansive intelligence of metaphors or symbols with full clarity today.

Today, refine your world and assume an elevated perspective beyond the clumsy and gross understandings of the default reality. Utilise your inherent ability to see the cohesive and powerful intelligence of the beautiful and the subtle.
 
A day to decode the light that radiates from your soul, for you are a living library, a reservoir of extraordinary experience that can be accessed via the imagination, which is shaped by the mind and piloted by the impulse of the soul to know itself.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 12 Flower:]
Planetary Consciousness and the Noosphere
Understand that the Noosphere, planetary consciousness and planetary civilisation are natural outgrowths of the world we live in today; the Earth will flower into a planetary civilisation.

Consciousness, the self, the world and experience evolves by stages. The planetary stage is the obvious and natural stage of development for our world – it is upon the far edge of our horizon.

The planetary stage of our culture will emerge from the subtler levels of reality into density. The cosmic influx has already recalibrated the contextual space of the Earth’s energy field. This much is obvious to me and today allows one to understand the power of light and consciousness.

Translation from one domain to another takes time – this gives the illusion that the power of change starts on the physical level. It does not. Power always comes from the larger context of reality first.

11 Storm

[Monday 6 February 2023. FULL MOON 02:29 HK time]

Your energy crackles as you move through the electrical nature of novelty, adjusting the templates of your soul.

Go with the freedom inherent within this day. Stay responsive to unexpected turns and enjoy the liberation.

Enjoy flowing through different states, from internal moments of personal freedom to social connections.

Enjoy the liberation of letting go of expectation, necessity and stasis. Let it be what it is.

Day 10 in the timewave can feel quite heavy and contained, while today – being an 11 Day – allows us the energy to move again, as the solidity and any perceived blockages dissolve. Today you can shake off any turgid emotions and feel energised by new experiences or variants.

Today is great day for inner connection and for opening portals between levels of consciousness.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 11 Storm:]
The Importance of Subtle Energy Work
Sentiments such as ‘Show me the results’, or ‘Show me the money’, conjure up a rigid confidence in the objective world and a cynicism towards subtle energy work, which then blocks the inner connection.

This can lead to one of the biggest problems we have, which is being completely out of alignment with our soul, therefore obstructing its natural impulses.

Although – it must be noted – people can also become hyper-inflated with self-importance through constant inner journeying or channelling, without deeper understanding, or the relentless interpretation and discussion of synchronicities and their own intuitive impressions.

The truth is, while it is important to engage in the external world, taking the time to connect to the rich inner world of the psyche is indispensable for emotional health. More than that, working on the inner dimensions is a truly effective and essential way to manifest a reality and experience that is more benevolent, abundant and wholesome than the normal everyday world experience.

Some of Laurence's favourite shamanic tools,
which he used for moving consciously between the worlds

The results are generally not instant. Subtle energy changes are most often stepped down through the various levels of density in accord with a gestation cycle that mirrors human gestation – from conception to birth (approximately 260 days).

The Sacred 260-day calendar that we follow here is an aid to consciously connecting to the potentials that are seeking manifestation through you. Such things as shamanic healing, or ceremonially planting intention into your unconscious (another way of saying planting a seed idea in the subtle mental body), are stepped down from mental to emotional to physical over approximately 260, 520 and 780 days.

Beautiful but uncredited image found on google

Each process of stepping down energy brings it more tangibly into density and actual experience. Inner work is very powerful, but most people – in fact most of us, a lot of the time, due to daily necessities – do not take the time to connect our subtle actions of the past with the present.

My experience from working with clients and from observing my own life and that of those around me is that powerful emotionally charged intentions or desires manifest in around two years, or a bit longer (often in alignment with three spins of the Tzolkin, that is, 780 days). The exactitude of the manifestation depends upon clarity, but is watered down by the many counter-intentions we invariably hold.

Using Law of Attraction principles to control life with absolute will is flawed because of the multilevelled nature of the psyche and the accompanying diversity of desires we hold.

However, this does not mean that we should not attempt to align with subtle energy changes and set clear intentions.

The most important point is to connect to the inner world through conscious journeying, visualising, shamanic ritual, or other forms of subtle energy work, so that we then align automatically with the soul’s intention for our lives.

The shadow of your life and the world is revealed to you.

What is the unavoidable issue within you?

The world appears as a semi-transparent hologram, reflecting your inner feelings. A good day to understand the power of our projection.

Today is a good day to see the fundamental issues in your life. Today they can be seen and they can be seen with transparency. You will see your complexes, but also see through them to a deeper level of truth.

You might possibly encounter a shocking perspective on an aspect of your personality or your being. Do not worry, for this is not the whole truth of who you are, just some of the truth.

9 Earthmover

[Saturday 4 February 2023. Imbolc (astronomical cross-quarter date this year): Sun at 15° Aquarius; see note at the end of today's blog post]

Today you can connect to the evolutionary impulse that underpins the present human condition.

'The English countryside festival scene...
dancing the sun up.' LjL

Today, being a 9 Day, is about awareness of large cycles of time, as well as change and evolution through powerfully evocative yet abstract feelings.

Awaken to the changes that rumble in the soul. Soul memory is memory from beyond time–space that comes from your past, before your history. Do you remember how this moment was seeded?

Aztec stone calendar

Into every moment we pour a tapestry of stories; different threads that are rooted in timeless zones and archaic evolutionary pasts.

Today, you can potentially transcend your present trajectory and see the options from different timelines and with different outcomes. A good day to experience – through feeling – the multiple potentials of different timelines that are encoded into each moment.

If you have felt blocked for some time in any area of your life, today is a good day to see that you can open up to another reality.

Reality is an agreement. Agreements create structures of reality. If an agreement is serving us, we are growing. On the other hand, if we really are blocked – if there really comes a point where we cannot seem to move forward in any way – then we do have the option to renegotiate.

It is amazing when you look back on your life and see certain situations that felt so permanent at the time, which you subsequently liberated yourself from. Do you remember a previously solid situation with impenetrable walls from which you are now free? Reality tunnel.

Image found on google

Whilst you were in that psychological space, you had a particular future. Once you moved out of that space, the future changed.

If a situation you are experiencing is truly stuck, then consider dropping it and creating a new one.

Image found on google

The way to do this is to realise that any situation can only inhibit you with your agreement. We choose structures that do come with limitations, because the total experience rewards one enough to accept some compromises. This is wise.

So evaluate your situation honestly. If you find that there is no longer any growth or reward, then you have the divine right, the legitimate right, to renegotiate a new situation.

This is how evolution works. We evolve from one structure to another. Each structure becomes more inclusive of more of reality. Each chapter of our lives is a relatively steady state of existence, but things eventually have to change.

Change, evolution and growth is always an offer made by Life so that we may grow and live larger. It does mean letting something go, which is not easy, but the rewards outweigh the loss.

The human species is presently renegotiating its reality. The consensual world of the mainstream has served evolution and is still serving some people, but the rewards for the species are diminishing rapidly. It will take some time for the main culture to shift – luckily you do not have to wait for everyone.

Create a new reality

In fact, it is important for the sake of the collective that some individuals who have woken up early enough take the initiative to step into the new unchartered land now.

Are you one of those pioneers?

The new landscape is relatively empty and is in a state of flux. It will take some courage, but the potentials are enormous – the first steps are tentative, the way ahead is unclear, and the going is slow. But the choice is there, if you have a spirit of adventure.

[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.

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 traditionally falls on 2 August.

** The actual astronomical cross-quarter date for Imbolc this year is 4 February 2023, 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/

8 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

[Friday 3 February 2023]

Commitment to your role in the matrix, as defined by the last timewave (which was the Vulture or Warrior Timewave).

Warrior Bee by LjL

Look after the self by deciding to live your truth, so as to be strong enough to be a healing presence. Feel the underlying essence, the sacred structure you are working with, and gain some clarity about the limits you wish to set yourself.

Consciously knowing the appropriate limitations brings safety and the realisable freedom that we all yearn for.

8 Days are days of implementing and organising that which is emerging, which is to say today is a good day to bring things towards manifestation, to actively draw energies into cohesion and harmony.

Today is a day of implementing energy in a practical fashion, compressing ideas and inspiration.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 8 Vulture:]
It is imperative that you not only centre yourself in stillness, but also call upon Light and Spirit, as well as the spirits that serve your higher self. Do connect and liaise with spirits using your careful definitions. Call upon specific healing, cleansing and clearing energies with words either spoken aloud or said silently.

The efficacy of this simple act is increasing in power as more cosmic energy, including interstellar plasma, is flooding the planet. Darkness dissipates when Light is present, but the Light does have to be called upon.

Use the power of your attention, your words and your imagination.

It is simple; just do it.

7 Eagle

[Thursday 2 February 2023]

Feeling the Wholeness 

A good day for emotional intelligence and an integrated clarity.

By Tom-in-Silence,
on DeviantArt, from here

The integrated clarity of 7 Eagle means the ability to focus on a detail, whilst simultaneously retaining the awareness of context and feeling.

The challenge is to not get lost in the details; to engage whilst retaining one’s sense of greater vision.

Free wallpaper image from here

Alternatively, the challenge is to engage with some specifics, rather than just flying off into an indulgent fantasy. Listen to the subtle feelings whilst performing daily tasks.

Move into resonance today with the mind of the world. Hone in on your locality and goal, and retain the balanced perspective of both the larger and smaller pictures.

Balanced perspective,
Power Station Beach, Lamma Island

7 Days are halfway through the timewave and provide us with the whole energy of the timewave through resonance. We can feel the totality – not the sophisticated mechanics of the timewave (which is for 12 Days), but the general wholeness.

Eagle is the immanent consciousness that we can perceive and engage with. The environment thus perceived is then seen in all its glory – and it is to be rejoiced at, for it is full of beauty, abundance and love. Once we see this, we can draw upon the bountiful energy and call it into our life.

Image found on Pinterest

There is more than enough to go round. Everything we need is available, once we are conscious of the fact that we are drawing energy from the magnificence of all that is around us.

With a natural gratitude that comes with our awakening perception and experience of the vital immanence we exist within, we can then ask unashamedly for life to provide for us abundantly.

6 Jaguar

[Wednesday 1 February 2023. Imbolc (traditional date: 1 Feb to 2 Feb. Astronomical cross-quarter date this year is 4 February)]

The feeling self is an instinctive self, prowling the unseen environment of the World Soul. Enjoy the forming thoughts and enticing feelings that arise and sink in your consciousness.

A day of feeling alert.

Follow the rhythm of the day instinctively, staying alert to the playful moment.

Jaguar is tied to the Earth in its wild state, especially at night. Jaguar is the feminine earthy vitality, sensual and powerful.

Image from here

Today, you might feel a strong need to connect to the wild environment, feeding your gratitude for the beauty around you.

A good day to allow space for shamanic practice. Follow the call of nature, and consciously and directly evoke connection to natural spirits and sacred space.

There is something beautiful about how energy unfolds on a 6 Day, while Jaguar provides a visceral connection to nature and to shamanism. Jaguar Days bring a luxurious heightening of the senses.

[On 6 Jaguar of 29 May 2012, Laurence wrote the following:]
‘Jaguar days are always more shamanic and jungley, which for me this morning was doubly so. I awoke with a strong need not to do my daily qi gong or yoga, but to just lie on my back on our roof terrace instead, listening to the intense cicada and bird chorus.

After one hour, I went into the hills here on Lamma. The day was overcast, breezy and unusually cool (though still very humid). The wind, insects and sheer verdant growth in the hills really evoked the jungle and a shamanic atmosphere … not to mention the small brown snake and the big jet-black snake (Chinese cobra, I think) on the path that my dog and I bumped into. That gave me some shock and awe!’
