8 Earthmover

Change Coming into Being
Once again, take a breath and step into the space of courage. Commit to the positive change that is wanting to come through. As someone once said, ‘What you want, wants you.’

Where is the evolutionary opportunity? Step up to it with faith.

Honour your emotional state, acknowledge how you feel, then search for the good.

Laurence always saw, and always reinforced,
the good – both in his own life and for that of others

Reinforce that which is good and what is seeking to establish itself in your life. Affirm your growth. Life is forever changing; affirm the change taking place in yourself. Identify the recent positive changes that are happening to you or within you – even if you feel that you are changing for the worse – because the truth is that there is always an element of positive growth taking place.

If you follow the 260-day pulse, you will start to notice certain mathematical patterns, such as Day 8 of each timewave being ruled by the same Daykeeper as the first day of the previous timewave. Thus, today being 8 Earthmover, we are reminded that the last 13-day period (a ‘timewave’) was the Earthmover Timewave.

Being an 8 Day, today is a day of committing your energy – or, we could say, incrementally committing more of your energy – to that which emerged during the previous timewave. The nature of change that surfaced during the Earthmover Timewave – which would have revealed an inherent evolutionary facet of your life message – is now showing itself again. You are being called to synchronize and integrate with it.

We get what we ask for. That is not always such an easy ride, because we are also aware of the infinite potentials that lie beyond this choice we have made... but it is worthwhile, enriching and deeply rewarding to see it through.

Do not try too hard; just observe the day and remember to commit your energy to what is progressive when Life asks you to do so.

Synergize (ha! ha! There you go, a nice corporate word!) your potentials within your present emotional reality.

7 Vulture (Warrior, Owl or Turkey)

Be Still and Listen
That is your wisdom talking to you.

7 Vulture (also known as Warrior, Owl or Turkey) is a great day to free yourself from the shackles of the mind; a strong, silent kind of day as you go about your business with simplicity.
 

LjL being still and listening, as part of his daily practice
Koh Samui, 2007

Be still and come into resonance with your true self. Be like the Owl and the Vulture – patient and resilient.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by demands from the world, hold your energy, for within the maelstrom of being pulled by other people or deadlines, a magical solution and innovative opportunity can arise – if you just hold still.

Allow wisdom to shine through by dispelling the darkness of confusion through your resolve. 

7 Vulture is a day of truth. Your truth can harmonize with others, without it being exactly the same truth. Today is a great day to be in your truth and to resonate with others.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 7 Vulture:]
Remember that the keynotes of the Mayan Sacred Calendar days describe a particular frequency within the day; they are not the representation of all the energies you live within.

The seven days of the week set a basic underlying pattern for society. Then we also have to consider the Moon and its position as it transits your astrological template, which heavily flavours your emotional ebb and flow. And then there are also all the other planets…

However, if you follow the 260-day pulse of the Mayan Sacred Calendar consistently, this pulse gets louder.

Why would you do that? Because you are the sort of person looking to become conscious of the subtle and the profound.

Note from Carey: Laurence spent a lot of his life writing, about all sorts of things that interested him and which he wanted to explore. He also kept a daily personal journal, using pen and paper, and believed strongly in the positive power of writing things down. Here is a message posted by Laurence on 7 Vulture of 25 February 2015:

'In my ongoing work with clients, particularly those who do a series of sessions with me, including shamanic work, I will always ask my clients to write stuff down as part of the process. Here is why: How Personal Writing Can Positively Affect Mental Health'

6 Eagle

Smooth, flowing, comfortable rhythmic changes of perception that allow you to organize your dreams and your visions.

Today affords you the opportunity to harmonize your overall sense of reality with your emotional needs; a blend of the earthly and the spiritual.
 

Isle of Wight: Laurence was able to do one of the things
he really, really wanted to do – to commune with a falcon.
They looked at each other for a long time; LjL was in awe and bubbling with joy,
while the falcon seemed equally fascinated!

What’s more, the perceptions you have today can fit nicely with the shifting perceptions of those around you.

Have a smooth relaxed flight, see all around you and zoom in on the appropriate tasks as they surface, one after another...

The Holosphere—Laurence’s holographic understanding
of the solar system—contains within it
the Enchantments of Life model, which in turn reveals the structure of
the individual human psyche and its symbiotic relationship with cultural development.
Through an understanding of the orbital realms,
the entire solar system can be read as a code
for the whole of human evolution, history and cultural expression.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 6 Eagle. First posted on 6 Eagle of 4 August 2011, then updated and reposted on 6 Eagle of 20 April 2012 and 5 Jan 2013. All figures updated for this 6 Eagle of 16 September 2018:]

Post-2012 and Planetary Consciousness
Eagle gives us access to the planetary consciousness, which is a level of development on our horizon. Once a sufficient number of people develop planetary consciousness, this will give rise to a planetary civilisation.

The developmental level for individual human consciousness, and for society as a whole, of a globalized culture is the precursor to planetary consciousness.

Globalization – which includes global economics and politics – is rapidly emerging and will reach a certain critical juncture over the next 5 to 15 years with the full coverage of the internet. Internet access is presently available for over 4 billion of Earth’s 7.65 billion humans. With the next level of mobile technology, this will dramatically increase – along with internet sensors, which are now appearing in public places, on buildings, street corners and the like. This is the beginning of the all-seeing Matrix and the integrated global linkup. Internet sensors will most likely far exceed humans, in terms of the number of internet portals.

To this we need to factor in the following realities that are occurring today and which are barely reported in the mainstream media:

• The troublesome innovations in genetic sciences, where all manner of genetic mutation are being produced, including human/animal hybridization;
• The potential convergence of technology, such as computerisation and genetic manipulation, leading to artificial life forms, cyborgs and robots, which can act as hosts to other-dimensional beings;
• The large number of extraterrestrial species that are moving in and out of our atmosphere and yet are also resident on Earth, in underground bases and even walking amongst us;
• Advanced reverse engineering of alien technology by semi-secret groups or special interest groups, which has been carried out since the 1940s;
• Extraterrestrial agreements with governments and special interest groups;
• Pollution and environmental instability, with increased space weather as the dominant factor in the environmental situation; and,
• A groundswell of awakening in the alternative world that the truth of history, evolution and science is extraordinarily different from that which is being artificially perpetuated within our mainstream education and informational environment, which is decades behind cutting-edge research and evidence.

We are accelerating towards what I call the Omnidirectional Gate, which is a portal of choice regarding our reality. Planetary consciousness is the awareness that we are not living on an enclosed globe of human society, but that we live within the Earth’s consciousness field and that, as co-creators of the Earth, we are part of a complex living system. Furthermore, this living system is an open system; Earth exists within the cosmic plasma ocean.

Planetary civilisation is the culmination of one order of evolution and the start of the next order of evolution. A big part of my work is showing how this level of development is a natural emergence of individual psychological development and a natural artefact of a highly populated planet. I also explore the basic structure of such a society.

This issue will be most pressing as we move into the 2020s….

5 Jaguar

'Shamanic Jaguar'
Beautiful, but uncredited, image from Pinterest

Today is a day when you:

1. Walk into and feel at home in the emotional jungle; instinctive and wild, free, belonging to no-one, yet never fully alone.

2. Feel a slight disconnection and alienation that never settles as life is always encroaching.

3. Instinctively feel connected and part of all reality, loving the universal matrix that you are prowling in, recognizing it as a gameplayer reality.

4. Experience a dynamic alertness to life all around you, as you are conscious of the immediacy. Things lurk in the shadows all around us, yet we are protected by our sovereign power and instinct – visualize the magnificence of the black panther.

Jaguar is the emotional energy of anticipation – emotive alertness – that arises from your centre in the instant before you relate to anyone or anything. Your emotional centre is a bubbling feeling, full of mystery and movement, instinctive and responsive to other living creatures.

From your centre, you can connect to the four directions of East, South, West and North, as well as Up and Down.

[Personal message from Laurence to contemplate on 5 Jaguar, first posted on 5 Jaguar of 27 July 2016:]
Talking with Crows
I could not sleep last night after 2.30am due to this waning quarter moon, which was aspecting my natal Mars. Eventually I got up at 4am, sat on the roof killing mosquitoes and enjoying the gradual awakening of the day. I got out to my special wild garden by about 5.45am, feeling tired – no way I was going to do a full ceremony. But, as I often forget, the best things happen without ceremony as such. I just did some processing and simple energy exercises and thought, ‘Well, I will wait until 7am, then go home.’ I was simply enjoying the early morning heat and chorus.

At 7am exactly, my friends the Crows turned up. They live in the hood, but like to stay hidden except for special occasions. There was a small group of them very close, making a hell of a racket. So I talked to them and they talked back, of course.

One thing I was wondering was how many of them were there – three or four, perhaps. At that point they flew as one and revealed their number. Five... of course, 5 crows on 5 Jaguar.

The rest of the conversation is between me and the crows.

4 Reed (also known as Skywalker) offers you the opportunity to see all sides of your relationships, your emotional state or your basic needs from a higher space.

A day where you can detach from your emotional involvements to see them more clearly. Meta-programme your emotional body.

The challenge today is to not be too fixed about your ideas and opinions. See your emotional script and then set a small intention based on where it is you would like to be.

Be conscious of any issues you have at the moment, but, rather than fuelling the problems and issues, be true to the higher ideas you have about who you are, your life, life itself and human nature.

Accept and understand, yet rise above the emotions.

3 Good Road (Human, Grass)

Today is about stepping forward onto the path and beginning the journey.

On the Long Good Road of Life, we are guided by invisible friends from the spirit world.

Image from Google

Walk with joy today as the energy moves out of yesterday’s polarity. If you feel stuck today, just do something – it is one step at time.

A good day to talk with other people, maybe lots of people, without necessarily worrying about direction; just get energy moving.

Know that life itself is intelligent and will guide you.

The rational mind – the intellect – cannot ultimately guide you, but the mind is not to be negated. Use your mind, whilst knowing that you cannot reach an ultimate conclusion. Life cannot be fully worked out. However, mental effort enables us to ask better questions – which then supply new partial truths, which then lead on to even clearer questions.
So it is we move forward.

Stepping forward
on the path

Step forward with an openness that values the mind as a tool, but not as the determiner of your reality, and you will be on the road that is your destiny.

This day reminds me of the three worlds of the shamanic universe and the multiple paths that emerge from the different paradigms of astrology, shamanism, developmental psychology and just about anything else. 

The different pathways of learning and experience all start to converge after a period of time; all novelty-led explorations eventually lead us to integrate. The interconnections and essential truths will eventually reveal themselves, if you continue down the road.

Trust in the journey of life.

2 Monkey

The challenge of the Dog Timewave, as 2 Monkey tells us, is how to hold two opposing views and beliefs; how to entertain the fact that differences between people and their needs and their perspectives is okay.
 

A good day to not take contrary viewpoints or feelings of those around you too seriously. It’s okay!

This includes realising there will always be emotional discrepancies within yourself, your truths and your actions.

The continual flow of your Divine Creativity and the machinations of the Monkey Mind can get in the way of the emotional needs in relationship, or can be a source of fun and spontaneity within relationship.

1 Dog

Today begins a new 13-day mini-cycle in the 260-day Mayan Sacred Calendar, made up of 20 such cycles. Today is 1 Dog (Oc).
 

Laurence and Chocolate running on Power Station Beach, 2008

The Dog Timewave begins today, with its themes of the emotional body, needs, emotional cravings, habits, patterning, love, companionship, boundaries and protections, feeling part of community, feeling connected to other beings and the question of belonging.

The Dog Timewave is all about those you love, those who share our journey; it also about giving and receiving guidance – and that includes to and from Spirit Guides.

Call upon your Spirit Guides to help you during this timewave.

Chocolate

The Dog is companionship in this world and the next; the Dog guides us over the threshold into the next life.

Who are your companions and where do you belong? A good time to be with others and to schedule in events with others, as you synchronize with the pack.

Sambal

With this new 13-day timewave of companionship, relationship and guidance, ask yourself if you need a guide. Or, are you needed to be a guide? Be open to following a guide and/or to being a guide.

Ride the ebb and flow of emotions in this 13-day period, specifically in regard to relationships. Love the ones you love.

Territory: See your boundaries defined as the timewave unfolds.

In this timewave, you can potentially develop understanding of the rules, emotions, populations and inhabitants of different territories, both physical and multi-dimensional.

Who shares your path with you on this frequency of consciousness?

Not strictly a dog, but Nougat certainly thinks he is
(he sits on command, for example – for treats of course!)

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 1 Dog:]
I love the way the 260-day Mayan Sacred Calendar changes direction. For example, the previous timewave (Earthmover) of ground-shaking evolution is followed by this emotionally based Dog Timewave.

The 260-day pulse is a quiet but potent frequency that sneaks up on the consciousness as we gradually open doors in our subconscious to attune to the frequency of Earth within the Galaxy.

13 Water (Moon)

A day to offer incense.

Photo thanks to our friend and fabulous photographer André Eichman

A day of gratitude and a day to surrender to the cleansing waters as they dissolve all blockages to the new sprouting energy that is already transforming your life.

Day 13 says ‘Let go and celebrate the end of the timewave.’

The dissipative consciousness cleanses the mind of thoughts.

Make an offering of gratitude for your life.

The 2012 Era and the Message of 13 Water:
Evolution and transformation – which is the theme of this, the Earthmover Timewave – requires the dissolution of blocks in our perception concerning the immediate potential and imminent reality, so that we can emotionally accommodate the next new reality.

The next scale of consciousness is a far bigger environment of the psyche. This is the spiritual reason for acknowledging contentious issues, such as Atlantis, the UFO phenomena and other anomalous experience, research and testimony.

The soul is like water, but the mind compartmentalises reality. The boxing and filing of information into relevant and irrelevant trays has been necessary for ego development. Now, however, in this 2012 era, it is time to dissolve some of the filters.

Increasingly, it is not enough to just take a ‘spiritual perspective’, to meditate or to simply have a psychological or sociological viewpoint. Instead, we are being pressed to have a full integral perspective.

The next scale of reality is planetary, so we are being impulsed to start releasing our compartmentalised walls of mind, to open to the totality of experience that is co-existent here on Earth – the Immanence.

The species is now required to engage with the areas of reality that have been kept hidden, for the new landscape of the psyche exists on the other side of the Shadowlands that stands before us.

The jewels are hidden in the murky realms.

12 Rabbit (Star)

[New Moon today, at exactly 18:01 UTC/GMT; 19:01 BST. However, in Hong Kong the exact  time of the New Moon is tomorrow, 10 September (13 Water, aka Moon) at exactly 02:01]

Today, 12 Rabbit, is a day of coherent light and a day of clarity.

A good day to organize your consciousness. The diversity of your thinking, or the diversity of your emotions, or the diversity of your intentions can find some coherence today. 

Created by Carey

You have the opportunity to understand the new energy of this timewave that has transformed you in some manner. You have the opportunity today to integrate quite effortlessly.

Your thoughts – which may have been scattered – can coalesce naturally and effortlessly today.

The many radiant thoughts and emotions you have today can come together as a coherent understanding – if you tune into them all as products of light, for they are all emanating from you.

You are a ball of light, a star, a singular monad.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 12 Rabbit:]
Today, 12 Rabbit (Star) in the Earthmover Timewave – which is the same timewave that led us through the 2012 Winter Solstice – reveals to you the omnidirectional potentials for change that are present due to the 2012 influx. A good day to feel how the 2012 effect is manifesting.

A Day of Flow
After yesterday’s solidity – possibly even harshness, for some – we get a contrasting texture today, one of plasticity and liquidity.

Have you noticed the textures of days? Time itself has a range of quality and texture and the Mayan Sacred Calendar enables this understanding.

Navigate the waves of energy today with intuition and some reason, surrender and strength. The lightest of touches is needed – the impulse to seize an object or an idea too tightly needs to be restrained. 

A river appears... photo by Carey

A portal opens up. A river appears that leads towards a transformed state, an evolved paradigm, a new sense of reality...

Surf the flow with balance and poise, without looking too far ahead to the promised land.

Keep a rein on the excitement and enjoy the flow. Feel the continuum that flows through us all, as things emerge and dissolve in the river of the seamless unity that is the immanence of life.

10 Skull

(many of which originally came from Skullis.com)

Endings and new beginnings from one thing to another, from black to white.

A good day for no-nonsense practicality and for letting go of that which is ready to be released.

Your life has changed. Day 10 of the Earthmover Timewave manifests as change. You have let go of something and have regenerated; you are cutting away dead wood and unnecessary sentimentality and are ripe for newness. Even if you cannot understand it logically, you can sense it instinctively.
 

Cutting away the dead wood, photo by Carey

Today is a fundamental shift. Release that which needs to be released.

Today you can see and feel the recalibrated aspect of your life; you can see and feel that something new has emerged within you – it will not necessarily be dramatic or spectacular, but you will be conscious that something new has gradually emerged.

See it and acknowledge it, and you will reinforce it.
 

Love is never simply black and white, by Carey

You do know that there is something you need to stop doing. Yes, you do know, don’t you...

So stop doing it.

9 Serpent

The Earthmover Timewave offers us change. Day 9, which in this timewave is ruled by the Serpent Daykeeper, suggests that we wake up to the end of one mini-cycle of activity or focus, and come back to the body, to survival issues and/or issues of personal power.

Kundalini Awakening, image from here

Today is a day to survive and flourish on the next level of reality. A day to awaken to your future upgrade and recalibration, as the environment of our reality continues to change.

Today you feel a power surge, a sense of your passion. Today you are conscious of the life force – sexuality, power and survival – all of which are charged by the life force. The kundalini life force in your body is your personal instinctive power that is derived from the species’ will; it is the impulse to survive and to evolve.
 

Kundalini rising, image from Pinterest

Serpents are highly adaptable. So is the life force, which is instinctively driven to solve the paradox of survival versus security (the latter being opposed to change).

Day 9 brings the awareness of large cycles of time and with it the connection to that which is seeking completion and that which is complete.

You are impulsed today to do what is necessary for your survival and will feel a sense of passion for life. See what is seeking completion; complete something.

What would empower you, if you work towards it? Where are you ready to change? What skin can you shed? What are you working towards?

Just feel those drives; do not get stuck in the head. You do not need to think about it all, nor work it all out through analysis.

You will be called to action. An impulse from the body will activate your actions with some urgency.

You might become aware that a thread of time has ended as the result of your activities, so be here now in the body. 

Shiva-Shakti, image from Google

The nexus of eternity converges into the instinct that arises in each moment through your life force. The life force is not merely yours, but is one head of the thousand-headed Cosmic Serpent that keeps life alive and flourishing.

Your simple but inspired action now affects the future.

Follow the call to immediate action.
