3 Storm

The Quickening
The restless spirit is seeking novelty and freedom, spontaneity and vigour. Your hunger is good; the vibration of change is shaking the air.
 
Storm, by Annie Knibb. Thank you!


Movement and Flexibility
Feel the storm out there, respect its power. The electrical charge of the psychic environment seeks a pathway into your life. Observe the novelty of the day.

Today is a good day to follow and act upon any unusual or different opportunities. Generate energy by doing something out of your ordinary.

Be alert; don’t think too much, just go with it. Be with the energizing vibration.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 3 Storm:]
In all timewaves, Day 3 allows us to move out of the block we might have felt on Day 2.

If you had a day of constant self-reflection without resolution yesterday (even leading to inertia), you might well find that the 2 Obsidian tension actually created an energy that transforms today, 3 Storm, into a degree of creative resolution through vitality.

This 260-day cycle of the Mayan Sacred Calendar (known as the Tzolkin) is an enormous asset to creativity and understanding as it allows you to plug into the emerging energy, the gestating energy of potentiality, and all that is seeking expression.




It doesn’t matter if you have only just discovered the 260-day cycle. It will take a few cycles to fully tune in, but you will feel it after only about two cycles – and then you have rare access to the soul realm.

The key to learning any subject is to connect to nature and to the cycles of reality, to observe life and – yes, indeed – to feed the mind with information, but then to hand it over to your soul. Give it to the unconscious.

As we are witnessing, the small-context box of material science and mainstream conservatism has reached the ends of its usefulness. The oxymoron of modern pragmatism is that it is totally impractical for the continuing progression of human life.

The rational mind is just a tool, to be used but not revered. It is the intuitive, creative, heartfelt approach that needs to dominate the rational mind.

Follow the energy and texture of the Mayan Sacred Calendar days. So simple, yet so overlooked. It will reveal its richness to you, and it will allow you access to the creative realm of the soul.

Inevitability, as compared to flexibility.

Today some things are inevitable, but within that framework there is room for flexibility. Do not get too rigid. Stay open to responding to the finest details with full consciousness.

Today is a day where you can potentially operate with great clarity by separating your truth from that which is not relevant to you, by separating clear mind from distorting emotions, and by separating essential feeling from confused thoughts.

The Challenge of the Day
The duality of transformation and evolution; the shadow and the shadow of the shadow; and the reflection of the reflection of the reflection into eternity.

The challenge today is to open the heart to embrace the paradoxes and polarities; to sit with them and accept them, but not to make decisions about one’s whole life.



The limitations of the linear mind can be seen today. The linear mind always says ‘Yes, but...’ to everything. There is always a ‘Yes, but...’ with the linear mind.

Today is a great day for clear action and immediate decisions, as long as you just deal with each thing in its own right, as it appears, in the context of the moment.

Create compartments for your life today.

1 Earthmover

A new timewave begins today; thirteen days of Earthmover (Caban), the synchronic recalibration. Feel the force and move with it!

Recalibration
Follow the synchronicity trail to find your new evolutionary pathway in the next 13 days.

The timewave theme seeded today is one of evolution – ground-shaking change that can synchronize us with a new level.

It does require some adjustment and integration to be in synch with the new level of reality, but change is inevitable.

To some degree, you have the opportunity to move your life on in an integrated manner during this timewave. A little earthquake of disruption is part of that higher integration, so bear that in mind.

Shake up, throw away and dispel anything blocking forward momentum.

Direct-ion
Connect to the dynamic force of change. Listen to it, feel it and be strong, so that you can go with it in all confidence. A little internal superhero attitude would not hurt!

[On 1 Earthmover of 6 Feb 2015, Laurence shared a short message and a link:]
I have written a short evaluation of the opportunity/challenge and imperative for us at this time. This short article, posted on Mystic Cyber Crow, highlights how we are at a crossroads for our species and is called: The Alchemical Transformation of the Human Experience
 

Two Men on a Beach at Night, by Robert Morris Munroe

[On 1 Earthmover of 18 December 2012, Laurence added a poem by A. W. E. O’Shaughnessy; first published in 1873. This has great resonance with his own work:]



Ode
We are the music-makers.
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams;
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world forever, it seems.

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world’s great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire’s glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song’s measure
Can trample a kingdom down.
We in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o’erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world’s worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

A. W. E. O’Shaughnessy
First published 1873

 
[Note from Carey:]
This is the 13-day timewave that took us through the Mayan Long Count Calendar ‘end date’ of 21 December 2012, which was a 4 Flower day (also called Sun or Lord; Ahau to the Maya).

As Laurence has previously stated, ‘this is the 13-day cycle of the 2012 era…. The Earthmover Timewave allows you to tune into the 2012 message for yourself, to find the resonance in your own life… and to tune into the evolutionary changes seeking emergence during the 2012 era (ed: 1980¬–2016, and for some decades beyond, in terms of fundamental transformation of the species’ consciousness).

13 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

Day 13 of each timewave is a day of disintegration and release of that timewave, as it opens up or sets free its energy for the next timewave.

Warrior, Vulture and Owl are the living symbols for holding one’s centre – for keeping hold of your essential truth.


Diversity of Truth, flipchart by LjL


Today you might be experiencing a disconcerting diversity of truth moving out all around you. The challenge is to hold a multitude of perspectives lightly, without losing your energetic centre. This means letting go and then finding a new temporary position of comfort, then releasing and re-grasping your centre once more.

A flood of relativistic perspectives can make us think that all truths are equal. Equally, the populist perspective that life is an accident and existence is neutral can leave a person spiritually inert and acting purely out of self-interest.

However, life requires a strong choice. Whatever the situation, choose benevolence and abundance. Look to enjoy some gain, but not at the expense of others. Choose life. Choose that life will flourish; choose that there is plenty for everyone.

12 Eagle

Today is a good day for perspective.

Heartfelt thanks to our talented adventuring friend, Vicky Baker Eichman,
for permission to use this wonderful perspective photo of Butte Lake, CA, USA

Your perception will be connected to real human issues, to normal everyday living, yet with the benefit of an elevated view. You may have a vision for your life or a project that is soft focus but big picture, and/or you will gain clarity about what you need to focus on right now.

Day 12 of every timewave brings us some understanding on a linear-mind level of the whole timewave and its theme, its reason and its teachings.


'Eagle's eye' by © Braid44. Image from here

This being an Eagle Day means that this mental understanding is seen through the Eagle’s vision. Eagle sees the whole world, but then focuses on one particular point on the ground in great detail. Eagle is powerful yet compassionate, and is able to hone in on that which is relevant.

Today, stay in the worldly realm of the skies and the hills – don’t go skywalking far out in the cosmos. Stay within the Earthly realms, then see what catches your eye on the ground. Focus upon that detail, for it will reveal the intelligence that is inherent within this timewave and will nourish you with an understanding of relevance that you can share.
 

Fabulous, but unfortunately uncredited, photo found on Google

An extremely powerful day of pertinent vision connected to your emotions.

A very good day to have a big, yet balanced, perspective on the present maelstrom we call the world.

Two Spins of the Tzolkin

Laurence was clear that it takes only two spins of the Tzolkin (that is, 520 days, or two cycles of the 260-day Mayan Sacred Calendar, the calendrical system that lies at the heart of at least 17 interlocking calendars used by the ancient Maya) before the energy and texture of the days are encoded into your own energy field. 
 


‘It will take a few cycles to fully tune in, but you will feel it after only about two cycles – and then you have rare access to the soul realm. The key to learning any subject is to connect to nature and to the cycles of reality, to observe life and – yes, indeed – to feed the mind with information, but then to hand it over to your soul. Give it to the unconscious.’

He noted that the ‘process is especially powerful if you draw the glyphs each day and do some free association with the signs as part of your daily journaling’. 

He also maintained that ‘the Sacred 260-day calendar 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.’ 

To him, therefore, the stretch of time equating to two spins of the Tzolkin is an important transition of some kind; a pivotal period of transformation or initiation.

Today, 11 Jaguar, happens to be two spins of the Tzolkin since Laurence James Lucas, man of my heart and soul, beloved by me and loved by many, shrugged off his mortal coil and took flight to merge with the plasmic ocean of the cosmos. I still cannot fully take this in and I still cannot find a way to fully live my life without him.
 
Today also happens to be Full Moon (at exactly 19:56 HK time; 11.56pm UTC/GMT; 12.56pm BST), so the emotions and energies will be amped up.

Also today it happens to be my own solar return, in other words, my birthday in the Gregorian calendar.

And, on top of all this – and how he managed to work out in advance the synchronicities involved I will never know – I also happened to be born on a full moon, which according to research on Google is something that would reoccur at a ratio of 1:29.5. I assume (but am happy to be corrected!) this means every 29.5 years there will be a full moon on my birthday. So today is the second full-moon birthday since my birth, my second birthday since Laurence died, and the second spin of the Tzolkin since my life changed so inexorably.

Although I have not had the time nor space – particularly given the limited energy levels that descended upon me after his death – to work on the process of daily journaling with the Daykeeper glyphs and number signs, I have been working on, editing, illustrating and posting Laurence’s daily Mayan Sacred Calendar blog, as I promised I would, as part of our plan to upgrade and refine the work he was putting out. The blog is only a very small, though crucial, part of that work.

At the end of two spins, I find that I have almost completed my work on one entire spin, going back day by day, timewave by timewave, to his first posts in 2009. He began this blog on 3 May 2009 (a 3 Reed aka Skywalker day), having by then already lived, breathed and integrated this calendrical system for nearly two decades, on a daily basis.

As you might imagine (or not!) this has been a relatively full time job for me, and I would now like to ask for help. I need feedback. For those of you who read it (for which, a huge thank you), is this blog of value to you? Would you like it to be continued? Is there another platform that would work better for you (daily email, Instagram link, making a specific Facebook Page, subscription service to the blog itself)? Any other suggestions or feedback (or encouragement!) gratefully accepted. Please either email me on ljl.lifechanges@yahoo.com (with ‘Feedback’ in the subject line) or PM me via Facebook.

Also, if anyone feels moved to support this blog by donating a small amount, either regularly or infrequently or just once, I would be immensely grateful for the help. I am in the process of getting a ‘button’ to add to the blog, but until then, you can use paypal.me/CareyVail, or if you prefer to use another medium, please email me on the above email address, with ‘Donate’ in the subject line, and I will provide bank details.

Meanwhile, my grief remains a tricky, slippery process – from unbelievable lassitude one moment, to gratitude the next for the time I did have, then tears, sobs, short bursts of energy, sleeplessness (always sleeplessness) and exhaustion; then brief moments of joy beginning to glimmer through, followed by a sense of such enormous loss that I fear I can’t breathe; then utter bewilderment, sometimes anger, despair, absolute confusion and feeling lost about ‘the future’, total panic about how to survive on the material plane; and finally, an occasional though ephemeral sense of acceptance, along with the clear knowledge that somehow, someway, I need to move through.

Not ‘on’, not ‘over’, but through. And I will move through, I know; I am moving through – but the shape of what is to come is nebulous and as yet unknowable.

Meanwhile, today being 11 Jaguar, I will stay alert; I will be awake to the subtle fluctuations in the environment; and I will call upon Jaguar to dissolve any and all negative unseen energies, so that I may stalk the doorway where new energy enters…

I would also like to say a big heartfelt thank you to everyone who showed such incredible love, care and support, then and throughout this time. Without the kindness of family, friends and strangers, I would not be where I am now.

Blessings and love to all,
Carey

Modify ideas with instinct...

On the frequency of the Mayan Calendar, 11 days always somewhat dissolve the structure we tuned into or found on 10 days.

As you follow the timewave, you get to see how the rhythm moves you first in one direction, then another; into one archetype, then on to another, bringing you into contact with the dancing kaleidoscopic nature of the Galactic frequency as viewed and experienced from Earth.

Today – the day of the Jaguar with day number 11 – brings a consciousness and quality to the day that, at least to some extent, allows you to feel more clearly the transparency of your ideas and the energy behind them.

This can be quite disconcerting on one hand but, beyond that – if you look further through the dissolution – the benevolence of life in all its glorious mystery is revealed.

Jaguar’s expression is instinctive and occult. Jaguar is happy to roam in the darkness of the mysteries. The Jaguar is the shaman/woman and protector of the shadowy earthly realms. Call upon Jaguar today to dissolve negative unseen energy.

10 Reed (Skywalker)

Ideas from Heaven meet ideas from Earth.

Direction Dimension, by our friend Robert Morris Monroe, artist, mystic and yogi
With gratitude for the use of this beautiful painting

A day where you see the structure of your higher mind processes. Today, the 10th day of the Lizard (Seed) Timewave, allows you to see the present state of your Overmind, your higher thought forms.

An overview idea that has arisen from your intention meets and meshes with the descending ideas from your abstract ethereal template.


Heaven and Earth, by our dear friend Dominic Cryer

The Seed energy of this timewave solidifies into a thought form, from which an aspect of your reality will manifest later on down the line.

Today, 10 Reed, see the new program or programs you have created within your psyche from your recent intentions, either consciously or inadvertently.

See how your life situation as it stands is a product of your previous ideas, the ideas that stuck.

9 Good Road (Human, Grass)

A day of ‘Aha!’ and a sense of knowing that you already knew it.
 

Gorgeous photo of Precipice Walk, Snowdonia, Wales,
with heartfelt thanks to my youngest sister, the very talented Caroline Vail

Today brings a need for freedom, the open road and the far horizon – but this can also bring a sense of frustration at the way we are inhibited by our circumstances.

A day when you can recognize that your life is the result of deep choices you have made and that these choices have magnetically drawn you to people and circumstances which have sculpted your life.
 

Image from Google

Human or Grass reminds us that life is abundant – far beyond our mind’s capacity to understand – yet the greatest abundance of life comes to those who are humble.

The Long Good Road of Life teaches us humility, but it does not require us to close our minds nor our hearts.

Being humble does not mean you cannot dramatize your life, nor that you should live small.

Today offers the opportunity to see who you are in the community – with clarity regarding your place in society – and to appreciate the complex diversity of individuality within the framework of the cohesion of the human species.

To feel truly connected, we are called upon to inhabit the moment – that is the simple spiritual truth; to enjoy life as it is.

Enjoy your journey today and remember: Life is like a fairground ride.

8 Monkey

Today is a day to commit to your creative projects, to see the creative potentials in your work and to not take your commitments too seriously. Still commit, but take it lightly. 

Seeing the creative potentials (photo by Carey)

The challenge of today is based on attempting to weave all of the different threads of your life into one tapestry.

8 Monkey is a day of commitment with humour. Allow the spontaneous to enter into your activities without destroying the essential intent.

7 Dog offers you the opportunity to feel how your intentions, your essential self and your life purpose resonantly fit with those of other people.


Our inside animals in resonance
Enjoy people today. Be prepared to keep an ear open and look at people you encounter with a fresh perspective.

Today, step into the feelings and connect to companions that share your path – this can include spirit guides and totem animals, as well as human companions. 

Evoke the sense of the multitude of beings involved with you in this life. 

Even if you feel somewhat isolated, the truth is that we are accompanied by many, both seen and unseen.

The water of purification, flow and feeling is encoded with subtle filaments of structure today. A day of releasing and dissolving blocks to reveal an underlying story that is forming in your imagination.

Thank you to whoever created this beautiful artwork

Sense the wholeness and geometric patterning of your soul-felt impressions. Allow yourself to follow the rhythm of the day by honouring the gentle impulses that emerge from the depths of your being, moving you from one space to another. The movement of the day paints a complete picture if you stay with it.

It emerges...

5 Rabbit (Star)

Today is a day to be in your centre – the space from where you emanate your light, your inner radiance. 

'Star', created by LjL

You may feel overwhelmed by all that there is to do and maintain, in which case, feel into the centre through the portal of discomfort.

Look all around you. Take a 360-degree view; see the full circle of your energy. You have planted seeds and set things in motion in every direction. Rabbit is the proliferation of all things in all directions – fertility and abundance.


'Moss', created by LjL

Be in the centre and feel the creative essence that has sent ripples out in all directions. Your sound is going out like a subtle pervasive field of energy, interacting and gently colouring the whole conscious field of life.

If today, however, you feel disconnected from your centre, remember the key to feeling centred in the place of emanation is to first acknowledge and then to feel the pain of disconnection.

Rabbit can be superficial and is easily attracted to all that appears light, bright and beautiful – the glitz, the glamour and the obvious aesthetic. Today you are asked to find the true beauty of the subtle, immanent and all-pervasive Light.

The primal wound of disconnection from Source and the Central Light first surfaced in our awareness in early tribal culture. The primal wound is carried by the whole species, but we each feel it in a different area of our lives.

Reconnection to Source does not involve ‘getting rid of’ the wound; there can be no ‘absolute’ healing or total control of the psyche if we are to fully reconnect.

Live with the awareness of the subtle pain of imperfection, impermanence and the fragmentation of life, without dissolving into victimhood, and you can be a conduit for the radiance.

Connection is found through feeling into and then moving through the disconnection.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 5 Rabbit, first posted on 13 May 2014, but still entirely relevant today]
I have been tuning into different reality currents, specifically extraterrestrial threads that extend back into ancient history, which I am being shown yet again through narratives in my dreams – the past is not fixed.

What timeline will we choose?

It is important that those who are awake hold a benevolent vision for our Earth. A benevolent vision for life is based on spiritual truth – the cosmos and our planet are wholly abundant – whereas the mainstream vision of impoverishment and lack of resources is based on control and negative agendas to create a timeline that supports ownership of this planet and the human species.

The greatest resource on planet Earth is human consciousness.

What ‘they’ want is the human soul, not money – no, real energy and power is always spiritual. All else is illusory and impermanent.

Your attention is the tool for your soul; focus your attention on benevolent abundance.


Changing Realities, flipchart by LjL

Now, this level of reality and the understanding of different timelines is of course way beyond everyday life, but we are evolving towards it. The evolution of consciousness has a structure to it.* We develop, both as individuals and collectively, one stage at a time.

The majority of people on Earth are currently emotionally centred in the realities ruled by the philosophies of absolutism or scientism. In simple terms, these two levels are the good/bad moralistic stage, and the materialistic stage [Saturn Enchantment and Uranus Enchantment]. These two stages of culture  – which we are all also subject to – are controlled by the media narrative that encourages a polarity within a small context. 





The next stage of culture that is emerging is something akin to a spiritual revival [Neptune Enchantment], but even this narrative is being engineered – largely on the internet – by agents who disrupt free thinking and encourage mass mind. The key weapon that is used is the environment, the global warming meme, which is a gross reductionist interpretation of the environmental instability we are witnessing. That meme supports a reduction of the population and a corporatized socialism – ie impoverishment for the majority – whilst taking attention away from environmental pollution that is created by war, oil, chemical companies and the media itself. Remember: The environment first and foremost is an environment of consciousness.



Reality is led by light; light overcomes darkness. A small minority of people who are lit up will light up the whole environment, so do not be disheartened by the lack of intelligence in the mass mind. The collective heart is still good, but contextually we still need to have individuals who can see the big picture positively.

The level of reality where time itself is understood as fluid [Pluto Enchantment] is beyond normal psychology, but is an organic stage of development that arises from the whole stratum of awareness which has been empirically mapped by developmental psychology. As we move towards the technological singularity, the very substance of experience undergoes transmutation. High technology is linked to the co-creator stage of the soul, where nature is created. 



What we might term ‘low-level ETs’ look to invade not through war, but through technological control of attention. But there is and can be no control unless there is compliance and mass hypnotism, for it is the soul energy that is being competed for. The global elite, so called, are all subject to higher dimensional forces – they are not really in control.

Each stage of consciousness has its own history and story, which is symbiotic with its unique relationship with time and space, or the space/time calibration.

The Mayan Sacred Calendar connects you to the interface between Earth and Cosmos, the planetary scale of consciousness. Stay tuned in and envisage the whole Earth as a vital creative force that is plugged into the source of all life and all creation. This energy has no limits.
