6 Lizard (Seed)

A cadent day of unfoldment and natural recalibration. Be the unfurling.

The Storm energy continues to heat up and speed up as you recalibrate your energy today. Today is a good day for organic adjustment of your templates, plans and the soil of your life.

An almost mechanistic adjustment occurs today as various cogs in your psyche turn left, then right, then left again – as in the process of unlocking a safe.

Unlocking the abundance of more freedom, especially the capacity to utilize and own your time – and therefore your energy – to get things done.

Five clicks one way, three clicks the other way, six clicks back again…

Unnamed painting by LjL.
For today's purposes I am calling this: 'Unlocking the Abundance of More Freedom'.

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

Are you feeling clogged up with psychic baggage?

Were your dreams last night full of old scripts, ideas not expressed, yearnings never explored, visions not realized?

Do you feel stuck in a dark room that you cannot get out of?

If so, accept it and sit in the middle of the room, in the middle of the soul’s darkened space – just be with it.

In the house, the eye of the storm.

Everything moves to the edge of the circle to create emptiness in the middle, from where the freshness of the moment gives you the bliss of remembrance.

Creating space. Become conscious of your shadow issues. A good day to allow emotional issues to be acknowledged so as to find the void of potential that lies in the middle of them. No need to get hung up on healing it all or clearing it all, just find the emptiness that is veiled behind your issues.

A good day to experience the freedom of the still, empty space that is felt inside, yet which is throughout existence.

4 Wind

The 4 Winds from the four directions are Message Bearers of Spirit. The power of the Wind God is in its ability to activate the spirit within us. The Wind is the Breath of the Earth distributing elements from one place to another.

Our minds are tied to our breath. If we are anxious, with a racing mind, we breathe fast and shallow, whilst if we are breathing deeply and calmly, our minds are relaxed and transparent. The human mind, like the wind, helps communicate, clarify and separate the wheat from the chaff, but the real wisdom of the human mind is in being of service to the soul and spirit.

We access our spirit primarily through our feeling sense; the mind helps to refine the nature of our ability to feel – our most important sense.

Allow your mind to divide up, to analyse and disseminate the energy within you to the four corners of your psyche. Allow it to separate the fundamental elements of Air, Water, Earth and Fire from the primal material you have generated in this timewave. The way forward will emerge organically.

Allow the energies of today to clear any confusion or refine any issue that feels like a coagulated lump of solid data.

Use the mind first to break down the lump of data, then let go of the mind.

Follow the body impulses, be directed by the Blood Lightning, the instinctive response, the first blink, that instant knowing as you are led by the breath of the ether. Or, we could say, the movement of light from outside your body to inside your cells.

[Here is an interesting link Laurence posted on 4 Wind of 29 November 2009, related to the above statement: http://www.viewzone.com/dna.html ]

Strzybóg, the god of winds
By Alice Wibberley (from Pinterest)

[Extra message from Laurence for 4 Wind:]
This is a reminder that the mind is our tool, not our master. The mind is the conveyor, not the source. The over-identification with data in certain quarters of society and the objective – aka ‘separated’ – dominant perception has led to the loss of consciousness.

To regain our consciousness of our most essential reality, we simply open our mind to the empirical and immediate sensations of the event, and to the experience of the moment.

The mind is one step behind the experience, so today be directed as if by a larger mind; call upon the mind of the subtle winds that circulate everywhere – even inside your home. The subtle winds are the ebbs and flows, wisps and breezes of the ether.

The foundation for breaking patterns and gaining a new freedom requires that you see the dominant issue – or perhaps problem – you have, written down into its separate components and/or from different perspectives.

Then feel into the moment, the central space, and listen to the body instinct.

3 Crocodile

After Storm and Sun comes the Goddess. Feel the energy generated so far in this timewave by giving, receiving and holding energy to protect what you love, whilst still accepting the day in a state of being-ness.

No mind is needed, no overt effort; just feel the dynamo of creation.

Potentiality is bubbling away in the ocean of the unconscious. Nurture the self by walking in nature and feel the stirring of emotions deep within.

The primal dynamo is winding up.

The Goddess, by LjL, who he called 'The holiest of holies'.

2 Flower (Sun, Lord)

Two forces of consciousness pulling in opposite directions.

Today the Lord aspect of the Mayan day comes to the fore. The duality of power on every level is highlighted. Our personal relationships also may come with an element of a power struggle.

The light we radiate is creative and today it meets the creative urge of others; the challenge is to accept the differences. The polarity of differing good intentions is a creative conflict that generates energy and ultimately asks us to be more open.

Today, we navigate the duality of having total control as opposed to relinquishing all responsibility. The resolution to this paradox is finding the resonance within yourself that accommodates the force and power coming from Life towards you.

Open yourself to embrace a wider consciousness.

[Extra message added by Laurence on 2 Flower of 24 April 2016:]
The Enchantment Shift and the Power of the Feminine
For me personally, I am intensely feeling the challenge of how to cope with the abundance of dark truths that are now being revealed in clear detail.

Every day, the falsity of the present mythos and its system is brought into the light of awareness.

On one hand, we want to be a force for good, to focus on the light, the beauty and the ‘solution’. On the other hand, to ignore the truth seems plain wrong.

There seems to be no right way. Whatever we do is wrought with imperfection.

It is very easy to upset people, to disturb them and to create walls between people which then crystallize our own positions in disconnected compartmentalized realities.

From a developmental point of view,* the human species is currently attempting to transform from a stage of material-secular-external-rationalism status-orientated focus (Uranus Enchantment) to an inner-awakened reclamation of our spiritual nature (Neptune Enchantment), where collaboration and feelings come to the fore, where nature is fully appreciated and the scope of reality is extraordinarily larger.

The current centre of gravity of humanity, all 7.4 billion of us, can be seen as an individual of vast complexity who has suddenly realized that their life is no longer working and that all they have striven for is now empty and devoid of meaning – and they feel awful. Their whole reality now seems like an illusion.

The whole history needs rewriting.

What happens to an individual who successfully moves through this transition involves healing, which includes, in the first instance, an encounter with their shadow. The individual that is our species incorporates all of the psychological complexes and situations that we can imagine. The abuse, manipulation, trauma, deception and, finally, acceptance of how it is that the individual gave their power away through spiritual contract comes to light.

Ultimately the healing requires assuming a position of total responsibility... but without self-blame!

We tear up the contract.

To get to this level of spiritual sovereignty means experiencing the full gamut of emotions, including the anger directed at the abuser.

It means looking long and hard with deep analysis into the shadow, getting stuck sometimes in turgid processing, and then continuing to have the courage to keep looking yet deeper, until we get to the core problem.

It means being misunderstood and seeming to be losing it, of changing and losing our identity, as well as the old friends who were heavily invested in who we were. The old secular friends from our past will say we are mad, we have gone soft in the head and have become irrational, disturbing to be with and undiplomatic.

Woman, in general, are far more able to do this work of transformation and evolving their consciousness, and often make the best counsellors and healers.

Confronting Abuse
Eventually we see the abuser as a sad and small individual, not the big all-powerful individual that they wanted us to see them as, and then we reclaim our power.

So I cannot see how we can ignore the dark truth of our world – and sometimes that might mean venting rage. The idea that we can only do this through transmitting light seems to me to be flawed. Why? Because I see so many ‘light people’ continuing to fall for heavily manipulated agendas intended to dis-empower humanity yet further and to send us back to the dark ages of feudalism and enslavement.

Whilst the abuser does this to us, he or she is also destroying our planet, whilst pretending to care for it and save it with clever words about our environment.

The way forward requires emotional intelligence and this is most readily available in the feminine. When we look at all of the institutions of our mainstream world, they are totally dominated by twisted male agendas, the worst of masculinity.

In these times, I truly believe that the woman has far more power than the man to change this world.

These small abusive men that hide behind guns and lies are all scared of the feminine.

Until or unless the woman wakes up and get angry, we are screwed.

1 Storm

A new 13-day timewave begins today. Storm (Cauac) is the electrifying power that cleanses blocks and inhibitions from our psyche.

Storm consciousness is comfortable with sudden changes in the day, covering all manner of diverse experiences. The archaic, the futuristic and the contemporary sit comfortably together in this day. The holistic, the pure and the profane arise organically as you spark off the spontaneous energies that shift you this way and then that way.

Storm loosens you up and frees your soul from fixed ideas. Storm is sudden and unexpected, and brings energy to the electrical aspects of your body, your nervous system and your etheric body.

A day of exhilaration or clear moments of freedom that sets the scene for the next 13 days.

Where can you break a pattern that is holding you back?

[Extra message from Laurence for 1 Storm]
With all that is going on in the world, it may be hard to tune into the 260-day frequency, but it is there underneath the social chaos.

For New Visitors: 
I will explain a little about the idea of this blog, which is to gently present a byte each day, a facet of each of the day’s texture and energies as they manifest on this specific frequency of reality.

The frequency is derived from the 260-day Mayan Sacred Calendar (the Tzolkin), which can be thought of as a different pulse from the one we normally operate in with our standard calendar.

The Incoming Expectation of Experience
The attunement to this frequency happens naturally over time, through a relaxed persistence, rather than an instant understanding. The frequency expands your awareness of the Earth as a being within the cosmos.

You were in this space, this realm, when you were in the womb. Now you can consciously integrate the cosmic with your everyday life as it unfolds in the theatre of the world. In this 2012 era, it is time to surf the galactic emanations that are inherent within everything on Earth.

13 Obsidian (Obsidian Mirror, Flint)

Mirrors reflecting upon mirrors into eternity.

The Skull timewave completes with a dispersion of light as everything seems to be a reflection of everything else. That which has fallen away from you during this timewave of death and rebirth appears as a spectre, so let it go to the best of your ability. Do not cling to the mask or veil you used before this timewave.

The emotional impact of seeing that which is no longer serving you can be disturbing.

However, it is a good day to sense that you are a fuzzy fractal of the divine.

Out of the corner of your psychic eye, you catch a glimpse of the never-changing essence, the YOU that is a reflection of the ineffable.

Surrender to the Mystery, whilst recognizing the unity of all life and the imperative of love that encompasses all.

It all works out beautifully.

Today we understand the inherent re-organizational intelligence within life’s disruptions.

Recent upheavals and quakes can make sense, as you synchronize your energy with Earth’s galactic constant – the pulse of the 260-day cycle – which is the same pulse you experienced in all innocence as a soul descending into your developing foetus (involution*).

Today, you can understand the direction of evolutionary change in your life, the way forward. The energy of change is vitalized and you can see how seemingly random artefacts of your life can be organized coherently.

Earthmover is the forceful energy that demands a new ordering of reality; it is the ‘intelligence force’ of evolution. Twelve is the patterning that the intellect can grasp.

Today is a good day for understanding the purpose and design of the changing world and your changing life.

* Note from Carey: Laurence describes ‘involution’ as ‘the descent of the dreamlike, timeless soul into the evolutionary process. The arrow of time is forward – this is systemic with the linear mind and with evolution; involution, however, comes from outside time.’ 

This wonderful – albeit uncredited – image
has been used in a number of other blogs and websites.
Thank you to the artist who created it.

[Extra message from Laurence, posted on previous 12 Earthmover days:]
If you have been following this count for some time, then I recommend that you take some time to explore your own Daysign and/or your connection to the Maya through the visionary space (aka imagination).

Just a few moments of slow, deep breathing whilst you focus on the dark space behind your closed eyelids will create the inner space. Then you simply offer an invitation to the Maya and/or to your Daykeeper. Invite them in and you will get an instant (sometimes fleeting) image or flowing images.

If you do this frequently over time, your connection to the energy will dramatically increase. As little as five minutes will yield results!

 

Mayan Glyphs by LjL

[Extra message from Laurence posted on 12 Earthmover of 21 April 2016, one day before the Full Moon. His message resonates just as profoundly for today’s 12 Earthmover, two days after the New Moon: ]

This day plugs directly into the recent earthquake and volcano activity …. Let us hope enough tension has been discharged for now... The tension in the earth is intimately tied into psychic tension and the imperative to recalibrate human consciousness.

I ask people what they think is going on in the world and their concluding statement is invariably, ‘What can I do? I just have to look after my immediate concerns…’

I offer this answer: We are living in an evolutionary transition where a dark force that is trans-national and trans-governmental is trying to enslave humanity (regressive anti-evolution agenda) – all we have to do is retain an awareness of that. With this awareness, you are likely to voice your concerns quietly in everyday conversations.

The solution is to be conscious; do not fall asleep.

If a few percent more of the human population stayed conscious, the game would be won. And culture would evolve to the next stage.

Your consciousness has a direct effect on the environment and in the social marketplace. We are never far away from a tipping point; awareness spreads.

This is what is meant by bringing in the light down to earth, down to the human situation as it stands today.

[On 12 Earthmover of 3 March 2014, Laurence posted the following:]

The psychic environment has never been more tangible. If you talk to others, you will pick up a universal narrative of tension that includes something akin to a ricochet of energy trapped in a box.
 
There is this lurching movement from novelty addiction to escapism to a need for simple solutions, then back to your sense of normality, then on to a sense of overwhelm and confusion, apathy, inertia and low energy to excitement and off again, round and round.

If you hold your ground, hold your intention despite being knocked off centre time and time again, you are actually progressing in this energy environment.

So it is that we are to recapture our centre every day, to not expect enduring comfort, peace of mind or simplistic clarity. To accept that there is this evolutionary pressure – with no respite for now – is to empower yourself with the truth. Dig deep and find your resolve.

…

We need to stay engaged.

Humanity as a totality of consciousness is programming the etheric template. This template frames the inter-dimensional portal that allows other beings and consciousness into our reality. Behind the curtain of normality is a science-fiction-like recalibration of the very fabric of our reality.

Within this pressure pot, there is an extraordinary awakening occurring within the switched-on minority. Is that minority large enough for the tipping point? I do not know. However, I trust in life and I know that the light of 10 to 20 percent can illuminate the darkness of the 80 to 90 percent who are operating through default programs.

Therefore, we have to have faith and hold the ground. We have to hold the resolve. We have to be the Sacred Warriors.

11 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

[Today, Friday 22 September 2017, is also the Autumn Equinox (in the Northern Hemisphere; Spring Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere), at exactly 20.02 UTC (21.02 UK time; 04.02 tomorrow morning, 23 September, Hong Kong time).]

A good day to connect to your inner authority and higher truth, regardless of the pain, problems or chaos that might be in your life at present.

Day 11 of each timewave is about opening the doors to incoming energy and consciousness. Day 11 is when the doors of our reality – our perceived manifest solidity –  open to let in more light and consciousness.

To develop a sophisticated view of reality – which is to be conscious of complex patterns – requires an ability to hold a different set of contrary perspectives at any one time. This ability is based on staying open, keeping open the windows and doors of your perception, which are located in the energy field.

To see the developing and emerging patterns inherent within our global society involves staying open whilst understanding that reality is comprised of levels, both psychological and metaphysical.

Different levels have different truths.

We are being asked to be conscious of the multiple truths of a changing human society. What is the new energy incoming, and what is the nature of the self, society, species and planet receiving this energy?

The Warrior is the Sacred Warrior of Truth.

Today, open yourself to higher truth and integrate new truth into your being.

Be conscious of the movement and connection from your centre – your personal truth, axioms, focus and anchor – to the interface you have with the world and the door that you open to allow in other people’s energy and other truths.

10 Eagle

Image from San Diego Zoo website

A day of emotional intelligence and a message about how to manifest abundance for yourself, whilst helping the world and being part of the shift to a more compassionate society.

Help those you meet by offering your vision.

The vision of the Eagle manifests today. The Eagle soars above the world, but looks down upon it, rather than up to the stars. The Eagle strikes with great clarity at problems that need solving on the ground.

The Eagle teaches the higher element of emotional intelligence by being compassionate without being unnecessarily wet or soppy, for Eagle is a Warrior of the Heart.

Beautiful fracted eagle image from Byrek at Deviant Art

[Extra text added by Laurence on 10 Eagle of 1 March 2014, but still relevant today:] 

A quick introduction to one aspect of my primary thesis: This subject seems appropriate to 10 Eagle.

On our planet, in this era, there is an evolutionary complicity and friction between the technological tipping point and spiritual awakening. As we near the integrated internet and internet saturation point, it is absolutely imperative that a spiritual revival dominates. Pure science, technology and rationality can be hypnotized by an ethic of neutrality – this leads to a dislocation from heart and soul.

There is no absolute neutrality.

The integrated and saturated internet is coming: Google glass, domestic appliances with internet sensors, buildings with sensors and much more. The internet is becoming externalized and integrated with consciousness. If left to its own devices, it will be a manifestation and an expression of the primal matrix, a reptilian intelligence which is alluded to in the film The Matrix.

How this is manifesting now is through an increase in dehumanizing work, dumbing down of the population and distraction through adrenalin-related novelty, which blocks consciousness and potentially enslaves the individual to the reptilian matrix.

This primal intelligence is the etheric template of survival and it reflects back and reinforces consciousness. The dystopian/Orwellian scenario of technocratic enslavement is the default setting of the matrix, i.e. it is the unconscious program.

The imperative for our planet is that we get a tipping point of awakening (maybe 12–15 percent of the adult population), in order to program the matrix. The matrix is a tool, like the mind. If it rules and we are unconsciousness, it is dark.

The threshold point would seems to be from 2027–2040 at the latest. This year, 2014, is a major pivotal year as the 2012 effect floods the social domain. This is why we need to stay engaged, even if it is uncomfortable. We are taking part in an evolutionary drama, where the survival of the human species and freedom of the soul is at stake.

I believe we will succeed. However, it is apparent that there is no room for complacency.

9 Jaguar (also New Moon: 06:29 in the UK; 13.30 HK time)

Wild thing. Alert. Hypersensitive.

Awareness of hurt, yet willing and motivated to play.

With a roar, wake up and see the projected path of your present actions. Reclaim lost instincts and forgotten power, and be willing to protect yourself where needed.

Today, you can connect to the actions needed – the actions you will be taking later – that enable you to move on, to change, to shift to the next level of your development.

You are alive and it’s time to smell the completion that is beckoning. Be ready to pounce and get it done, change gear and go for the finish line!

Both these fantastic 'fracted jaguar' images come from:

[On 9 Jaguar on 3 January 2017, Laurence also posted a comment from a client and friend:]
‘Perhaps we are coming to a place where the choice, the commitment (that we have already previously made) has to be made incarnate. We have stepped through the looking glass.’ Kamerine

8 Reed (Skywalker)

Today is about the compression of an abstract idea into time–space and the linear mind. Decide to proceed with the change presenting itself to you. This requires some degree of emotional commitment.

The timewave before this was a Reed Timewave – the exploration of different reality templates and potentials. This current Skull Timewave is about definitive change. The next timewave is Storm, which brings the energy to break old patterning.

Prepare for a reality jump or a sudden shift of perception that is a truly new insight.

Commit to grounding your ideas and to your authority.

7 Good Road (Human, Grass)

Grass is unspectacular yet ubiquitous; grass is vastly abundant.

A day to be open to abundance by creating space for new people, or new energy, or new energy from people you know.

The human species is 7.4 billion by number, and now 3.5 billion of us have internet access.

Humanity is ubiquitous on Earth and, far from overpopulating this planet, we are all needed.

The greatest resource on planet Earth is human creativity. All problems have an inherent solution that human intelligence and creativity can resolve – as long as that creative impulse is not blocked by the impoverishment of those in fear who run an outdated system.

The interconnection of the global population creates a unity and a diversity that can enable an incredible problem-solving intelligence. Every problem is systemic, and the solution is inherent within any problem. This is the game of evolution, adaptation and growth.

The system must change – and will change – so that the resource issue is reframed. It is thanks to the abundance of intelligence that is derived from all people contributing their gifts that the world can evolve and transform from a paradigm of fear to a paradigm that supports love.

The magical resonance of all human wisdom as a net total essence derived from every man, woman and child is available today as you walk on the long good road of life.

6 Monkey

The game of life is a game.

Play to win – or rather, play to keep the game of life going by following the clues laid out before you...

‘By an inch it’s a cinch, by a yard it’s hard,’ Peter Ragnar.

Today has a creative flow to it. A great day to enjoy your work, if you live a vocational life, as part of the game of life, as well as to enjoy your play as part of the task of life.

Today, leisure and pleasure can yield inspiration for your tasks, your purpose or your career.

The world game is totally on; we are living in evolutionary times. Stay alert.

5 Dog

A day to feel the supportive energy in your emotional centre, your inner psychic sanctum and your sanctum of the world, surrounded by those you love.

The people you need and love are held within your heart. This is a powerful field of protective energy that creates a space of equilibrium in the midst of change.

Change can be destructive. However, if we can stay with the heart, transformation is resonant with the highest good and the power of love.

A very good day to connect with people all around you. Visualize your friends and acquaintances linking out in all directions from you.

We are blessed.
Here are some of our many friends and family members,
with Laurence six years ago at a feast he prepared with love.

4 Water

Set the parameters of your emotional capacity. Be honest about what you can expose yourself to.

How much you can handle? What areas can you handle getting involved in?

What do you need to debate and what drama is good for you? Where must you stay clear? What should you avoid?

Purify your emotions, cleanse and release, reset your emotional body.

What do you have to offer?

Feeling Space
Today, explore the boundaries of your emotional space. It is a space just like physical space – emotional space is a substance that exists in the collective substance of emotions and feelings.

The easiest way to connect is to visualize the aura – the subtle fields of emotion and thought that interpenetrate your body and surround it.

This beautiful image is one that Laurence once chose for this 4 Water day. 

It is called 'Emotional Healing' and it comes from here: 

http://www.paintedjourneys.com/EmotionalHealing.html

3 Rabbit (Star)

A day of shifting energy and light, communication and movement.

The shifting nature of attention.

We can all get stuck down reality tunnels – but do not be a Rabbit in a headlight.

The dynamic movement of energy today means that our attention is malleable. We can shine our light on a new potential quite easily; likewise, we can receive new light, new information, new glamorous images or stories that pull us in a different direction.

A day of negotiating agreements. The challenge of Rabbit is not to be too light, not to acquiesce to everything.

Use the energy to your advantage to bring more of the radiant spirit into your reality. Be prepared to subtly adjust things without switching to an opposite direction.

A very good day to see how reality is comprised of frequencies of light.

Light at the End of the Tunnel

2 Deer (Hand, Grasp)

The challenge of transformation comes to the surface today.

A sense of new things coming in and old things passing out, without knowing the details.

What do we hold onto and what do we let go of?

Navigate the energy as it flows between polarities. Feel into it; sense the energy.

You do not necessarily need to definitively decide what is to be let go of, just allow your consciousness the space to calibrate the incoming and outgoing energies.

1 Skull

Be strong.
Be steady.
Be clear.
Be awake.

Change: 13 days of transformation begins today in the Skull timewave. In this timewave, choices are made. In some areas we cut back to the bone; we let go of some things in order to commit to a new structure and to a change in our lives.

This Skull timewave is strongly empowered as we are in the midst of the timeline choice.* This is the time to take a conscious, spiritual and sovereign position.

Skull is the energy of change from one definitive state to another.

Skull is black and white.

It is time to change.

Today is a day to anchor intention around change, specifically based on recognizing what you need to let go of. What energy and what actions are superfluous to your real needs?

If the answer does not emerge today, then hold the space for the truth to emerge during this timewave.

A good time for dealing with practicalities, as you are able to separate from distractions. Clear-cut actions can be undertaken.

* Note from Carey: Laurence researched and wrote extensively about the timeline choice of consciousness. Amongst other things, he wrote on 6 August 2015: ‘…my research has constantly pointed me to the conclusion that we are rapidly approaching a fundamental species choice regarding the trajectory of our reality,’ and, on 1 Skull in 2015, ‘This 2012 era requires change, the change of human collective consciousness.’

He also wrote much about this pivotal change for humanity on his blog Mystic Cyber Crow, up to and including a matter of weeks before his passing. Mystic Cyber Crow was the blogsite perhaps particularly closest to Laurence’s heart, where he could share much of his inspiration, theories, musings and insights. Many articles are ‘unedited’, in the sense that Laurence wrote in a stream of consciousness as soon as he was inspired or impelled to put his incredible thinking and feeling down in words. 

This was his mission: To share his wisdom, experience, knowledge, and profound understanding of life, in order to empower others so that each individual could find their own conscious, spiritual and sovereign position.   

Nine years ago today, in the Gregorian Calendar, on 12 September 2008,

Blessings and thanks to all the men who were there with him.

 

13 Serpent

On Cosmic Serpent day, the energy of the Reed/Skywalker Timewave culminates as you come into the body from the sky.

You come into everyday reality from the exploration of potentials to face the daily survival needs. Today is a day of the kundalini, the life force that powers your survival instincts, the impulse of creation, the evolutionary impulse of life.

Today offers a chance to break free from worry about one’s survival, by facing physical reality and yet vitalizing your body with some action and daring.

Feel the fear and do it anyway.

A great day for a breakthrough.

Earth–Sky Connection by LjL (aka Coming into the Body from the Sky)

12 Lizard (Seed)

A good day to get organized.

Templates of reality are revealed.

One of the best days in the whole 260-day cycle to have conscious integrated realizations and to see the coherence of your life, a project or the world. A good day for recognizing you have a plan, a seed to plant. The ideas of heaven create DNA, morphogenic fields and architectural plans.

Potentially, today offers you a clear-minded understanding of your whole energy, all of your needs and how they fit together.

If you feel confused, face yourself and own your desires, needs and natural mode of being. Be grateful for what you have, but own the need for evolution and growth. From this approach, a sense of the unity of your life’s intentionality and purpose can emerge.

Come into alignment with the higher self and its intent for your life.

The sexual energy and passions also are stirred today, so we look to harness our passion for our purpose.

Flip chart drawings by LjL

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

Moments of romanticism, wonder, captivating memories and cascading feelings can arise today, evoking an emotional flux state. Within any doubts, confusion or uncertainties lies the question you should ask.

Ideas of yesterday turn into feelings today. Doors open into the shadow of ideas, or doors open within the darkness and you see the space for light to enter, even if the darkness temporarily overpowers.

A day of the dissolution of one’s mental control as you surrender to creating emptiness. The cycles of creativity require that you make a fallow space and digest any shadow elements. Be in the Dark House and sit it out. You can enjoy the fecundity, if you get into it.

A great day to make space for new inspiration by throwing out assumptions and expectations.

You might not really need what you've been thinking you want for some time.

If you have noticed during this timewave that you have been formulating new ideas and are desiring to bring those ideas into a cohesive intention, then today you need to create some space for that plan to gestate. (Tomorrow is 12 Lizard, which equals organized seed, cohesive intention, clearly thought out plan.)

Today, go with the lateral movement, rather than trying to go directly towards completion of your thinking process.

10 Wind

The Reed/Skywalker Timewave manifests 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 epitomize your inner sovereign voice, your authority.

'The words are strong; the message has power. ... 
You might have to read it more than once to see the wholeness.'
Annie created this as a way to thank Laurence for the workshop,
using words that epitomize
his inner sovereign voice
and his humble but profound authority.

9 Crocodile

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.

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. Recognize 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 recognize its validity. Then and only then can we take ideological positions.

A day of deeply felt connectedness.

8 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Full Moon today, 15:03 HK time; 8:02 UK time]

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

Look to recognize 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.

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

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.

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

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

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

6 Obsidian (Obsidian Mirror, Flint)

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.

5 Earthmover

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 organized; 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.

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.

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.

4 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

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.

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 recognize 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.

Note from Carey:
Laurence’s ground-breaking developmental model, which he called the Enchantments of Life, maps the evolution of human consciousness. This was his truth and it was his life’s mission to share this profound understanding with others. 

The Enchantments model informed the rest of Laurence’s work. For example, his own understanding of the texture and energy of each of the 260 days of the Mayan Sacred Calendar year was underpinned not just by his 30-year study and daily experiential investigation of this calendrical system, but also by his own immersion in the higher levels of consciousness (‘higher’ purely in evolutionary terms – he was never ‘hierarchical’, in the sense that he recognized every Enchantment level is necessary and inevitable for the process of evolving consciousness. Where people are is where people are).

The Enchantments Principle and Laurence’s map have helped many people in many different ways – some say they became less judgemental of others, some say they became more empowered in their own truth and their own sovereignty (another of Laurence’s pivotal quests), yet more say that the Enchantments map helped to release them from fear and accorded them a sense of freedom and deep purpose.

Here are two of Laurence’s highly creative and illuminating flip-chart images, used in one or more of our workshops over the years.

The first illustrates Laurence’s own truth. Laurence was always solid with his own truth; he never doubted himself. However, he was one of the most genuinely humble, wise and loving people I have ever had the privilege to spend time with (far, far too little time), and he never used his truth to stomp on anyone else, believing fully in every person’s right to their own truth. He would be silent when appropriate; he would explain his own position – calmly, clearly and with genuine delight – when asked.

The second is a brief snapshot of the Levels of Truth, as understood through the Enchantments map.
