9 Skull

[Tuesday 31 December 2019]

Day 9 is always a day of realisation and Skull brings the decisive acknowledgement of that which has to be cleared out.

You are a reflection of all that is, yet you have your own journey and your own being within the collective.

form of life is continuously turning inside out

Become clear about your boundaries, structures and axioms; release collective negativity (the lowest common denominator energy) and set a basic intention to be an agent for change.

Intend to transform, as and when it is appropriate, and make clean breaks from cultural pressures and fear-based scripts.

Navigate the streams of impermanence to your advantage. All situations can be turned inside out, just as life is continuously turning inside out.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 9 Skull:]
Today you can see the outcome of future situations and events, based on how things are unfolding from this moment.

A SIGNIFICANT ZONE OF CHOICE IS UPON US NOW.

For the next few days, envisage a better world and do not comply with mainstream media suggestions... DO NOT COMPLY with mainstream visions for the environment or global change...

Real change can only be seeded from the autonomous free-thinking individual, free from the global agenda being pushed in your face.

The world has never been more abundant. All of our environmental problems and energy problems already have solutions; these solutions have just not been released, but eventually they will. The tide cannot be turned back.

The challenge is to clear out any negative energy present at this moment in your field. Clear out the dross of negative expectations so as to affect the outcome and future manifestation more positively now.

Remember the saying: ‘It doesn’t have to be like this.’

We found this beautiful image in a Google search several years ago
and have used it for some of our workshop notes to illustrate
the toroidal nature of the Earth's energy field
(which is the same for all living beings).
Unfortunately I have not been able to find the original artist
to add a proper credit. My thanks to whoever created this.

‘My research continues on the timeline change we are in the midst of. The portal is opening to the archaic past, namely the global empire of Atlantis. We are moving into resonance with Atlantis, as evidence of its existence from all sciences (kept out of the mainstream narrative) is becoming overwhelmingly convincing.’

8 Serpent

[Monday 30 December 2019]

Hold steady.

Bringing intelligence into form requires daily discipline. Our intentions, desires and goals come with the challenge of living them day by day, paying the price to be paid and sustaining them long after the excitement has worn off.

Composite created by Carey,
using ouroborus image found on Google

The impermanence of excitement leads us to novelty addiction and confusion about what we actually want, as well as an apathy regarding what we really need due to the effort and illusory nature of all form, as well as the dissatisfaction we sometimes feel about what we get.

Image found on Google

All entities are responsible through universal decree for their own survival and flowering. Survival and the perpetual game of creating one’s life could be viewed as a monotony.

However, the enlightening truth is that life is a constant celebration.

Today, make the effort to emotionally commit to keeping your party rocking through accepting that you need what you need.

7 Lizard (Seed)

[Sunday 29 December 2019]

A day of harmonic resonance with your Master Template, your essential Divine Intent, your Life Purpose.

Today offers you a reflection of the basic intelligence – or the divine matrix for life – throughout existence.

Composite created by Carey,

'Consciousness and the Plasma Brain',
overlaid with an image of the planets

You can tune into an aspect of your life purpose (or a general sense of your soul intention) by observing the underlying gnosis you feel during the day. Trust the connections you see, for they represent this unique matrix; however, do not over-interpret the future unfoldment of how the seed will grow.

Enjoy the sense of harmony you feel with the inherent intelligence of life and, more specifically, with the ever-present original intent for your life.

Lizards can regenerate lost body parts, as the template of their bodies are particularly powerful. You can similarly restore the template of your life today, to some degree.

Image found on Google

The space you created yesterday allows for the light of the seed or template for your life, encoded before incarnation, to shine through. The seed of your life can be seen in a general sense through what is reflected to you from dreams or from the external world.

The resonance with your template will create the urge to move beyond the white noise and the distractions that have moved your life away from the potential of the original implicit purpose you were born with.

Just be conscious of that fact. Do not get into frustration; just be in resonance with the ever-present seed for your life.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 7 Lizard/Seed:]
Once into the womb, the house, the inner sanctum that is a fractal of the universal mystery (yesterday being a Foredawn/House day), today the Seed of Light appears as if by magic, through a resonance with the intelligent plan of Life.

I felt it fitting to reproduce this page today,
taken from the handbook for our Life Purpose workshops,
to help illustrate the texture and energy of 7 Lizard.

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

[Saturday 28 December 2019]

Processing, clearing and creating space. Today is a day of movement in the subconscious and unconscious.

Enclosure, by Laurence James Lucas

Connect to your inner sanctum. The deepest part of your soul is a place of mystery that serves the purpose of nourishing you with a potent emptiness and privacy.

Today, allow the potentials to reorganise themselves.

The different expressions of the psyche – the multiplicity of needs, desires, complexes, wounds, frustrations and considerations – organically self-organise as you gradually let go of trying to control life, releasing the need to know.

On 6 Foredawn of 26 September 2010,
Laurence decided to nourish himself
by spending some of his day outside
with his paints, brushes and some canvases

This creates the space.

Be at peace.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 6 Foredawn:]
The vast expanse of universal consciousness creates firstly by separating self from self through the Word, the activating Spirit of the Cosmic Breath, which is the Wind character in the Mayan Sacred Calendar (yesterday was 5 Wind).

The next step is to create an enclosure, a womb, the centre of the holy trinity. The womb is the 'House' Daykeeper character of today. It is the all-important place of safety for us – our home, our inner sanctum. It is a place of mystery that serves the purpose of nourishing us with a potent emptiness and privacy.

Wherever we were and whatever we were doing,
Laurence always took time in the early mornings to connect to his inner sanctum,
to delve into the mystery of his soul, to let go and to create space.
His daily practice of tai chi, yoga and shamanic journeying
nourished him deeply and thus allowed
him to deeply nourish others.

5 Wind

[Friday 27 December 2019]

You are a nexus of communication. Your ideas are shaped to a large degree by the ideas you receive from others. The ideals of independence are fairly illusory; however, you are unique in essence, at the core of your being.

Image found on Google

A good day to connect to your own essential voice and inspiration. Receive inspiration from Source today and convey that to others. Be conscious of the fickleness of the mind and the instant impulse to be an automatic transmitter of the collective clichés that abound in the atmosphere.

Thank you to whoever created this.

Ask intelligent questions, rather than rushing to deliver a pleasing answer.

5 Wind is a good day to investigate and penetrate the informational field in which you live. Cut to the core of situations by questioning assumptions.

Sustenance
All of life sustains itself. Wherever you look, in any direction and in any realm, you will see life in its myriad forms sustaining itself.

Enjoy sustenance today. Surrender to the need for food, basic exercise, rest, time with the family, or whatever you feel is calling you to sustain the matrix of life within which you exist.

What do you need to feel sustained in this day?

Allow it to be, receive and give the essential food of life to your life and to the life all around you.

Focus on the frequency of nurturing, sustaining, security, comfort and being-ness.

3 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Wednesday 25 December 2019]

A day of light and energy vibrating. Feel the body and the world as a vibration of light.

The emotions of anticipation will arise – do not let the mind jump ahead to a conclusion, an absolute, or the need for an outcome. If you grasp the energy, restlessness and anxiety will arise – stay with the anticipation.

Heartfelt thanks to our friend

Different aspects of the psyche, normally compartmentalised or shut off from each other, are able to cross-pollinate today. It will most likely be subtle, but you will feel energised.

Feeling is a form of subtle matter; it is the material that is most commonly experienced and yet is considered to be merely subjective, due to the shield of the mind. Today, light will pass over and through different aspects of your psyche.

The opportunity of the day is that you can enjoy the feeling of potentiality.

Heartfelt thanks to our
friend
Ewa Wilkinson
for this beautiful photo

Do not get fixated on negative potentials, but come into alignment with your vision and your aspirations for your life. Stay with the feeling of potentiality. Move into that space without grasping; just enjoy the feeling that reminds you that life is mutable and that you are a co-creator who can attract more benevolent abundance into your life.

Allow yourself to move into that energy space of benevolent abundance.

2 Storm

[Tuesday 24 December 2019]

The pull of opposites today can be exhilarating as you move into unexpected zones and experiences.

Energy ricochets back and forth; we are confronted with our polarities.

Storm Clouds,
heartfelt thanks to David Ogg

Today is about the constant existential movement between being in the eye of the storm, enjoying stillness, and being caught in the midst of the cyclone of necessity (especially all that is associated with money), novelty, engagement and relating.

The desire to truly break free from the constraints of yourself can make you feel you are being pulled apart and/or give you the space to find some unexpected inner freedom.

A good day to recognise how you have created your life as it is; how the mixing bowl of your psyche, filled with all the divergent needs and desires, has resulted in the reality in which you walk.

What's in your psychic mixing bowl?
Photo thanks to André Eichman

To find freedom in this day, accept the situation and your own duality. You then have the opportunity to enjoy and appreciate the novelty and variety that life offers you.

Consciously create some contrast in your day. Deliberately embrace some contrasting activities.

The potential result of this day is a genuine sense of refreshment, whilst accepting the existential pull of opposites.

1 Obsidian (Mirror, Flint)

[Monday 23 December 2019]

A new 13-day timewave begins today: the Obsidian (aka Obsidian Mirror, Flint or Etznab) Timewave.

In this 13-day period, look at the shadow with a clear perception. When you look into the smoking mirror, keep looking through the clouds until you find the clear sky.

Image found on Google

The world reflects ourselves back to us, revealing a semblance of the totality of our desires and inner feelings. This timewave will reveal the shadow of your life – and it is a challenge to accept that which you see.

However, the greatest challenge is to not see the fuzzy distortion of the shadow as the whole truth – it is just part of the truth. The light, the bright, the good and the beautiful are more powerful and more pertinent to life.

Detail from 'First Day of Creation'
(1870-1876), by Edward Burne Jones

You are not your shadow, so do not identify with it. Accept the shadow of your relationships, your culture and your world as aspects, forces and elements that make up the entirety of your reality.

Acceptance is Love. See the shadow, then look beyond it, because the shadow is also illusory from the perspective of unity consciousness.

Detail from 'The Crystal Ball'
(19020 by John William Waterhouse
(although I confess I have altered her
crystal ball slightly, so that it is now Obsidian)

The opportunity afforded in this timewave is to be brave enough to open the heart that bit wider, with intelligence.

Open, accept and increase your connection to the essential awesome nature of life.

This amazing aerial photograph of shadows cast by camels
walking through the desert beautifully illustrates
Laurence’s reminder that ‘You are not your shadow.’
The black ‘camels’ are in fact shadows,
while the actual camels are little more than slim blonde lines.

How does one keep up with the ‘million things’ that are in your life, all changing, growing and demanding attention?

You connect to the Source, from where all things grow and evolve.

Connect to the Source, by LjL

The still point within you is the place where you connect to Source. From here, you are more able to respond to the emerging energy that needs your attention now. Though this is easier said than done, you can access that energy and consciousness today.

A good day to connect to the expanding web of synchronous interconnections that springs outwards in all directions from the ubiquitous centre of ‘now’.

Your life is interconnected to all of reality and you can see or feel the force of the energy that is expanding out in all directions, through 360 degrees. Potentially, this is omnidirectional through almost infinite realms.

The life force in your body is the evolutionary impulse as it exists within you; it is a manifestation of the radial power that drives the world around you. Allow your awareness to become still, let go of compulsions to control your life, then respond to the impulse that springs from the stillness.

Web of Synchronous Interconnections

The kundalini is the manifestation of the collective unconscious will, the will of the whole human species. This will or impulse of evolution has two drives:

- First: Survival, which gives rise to security, control, or, in some cases, manic power compulsion to manipulate and enslave.

- Second: Transformation, which gives rise to the desire for the new, the restless urge to move on and to surrender to new experience, or the death wish, self-destruction or self-loathing.

It is our power; if we own it, we flourish. If we consciously own it, we flourish in accord with the interests of the whole human species and with life on Earth.

Today offers the opportunity to ascend to a new level of empowerment, to some degree.

12 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

[Saturday 21 December 2019]

A good day to understand the truth you need to live by in order to survive, flourish and be centred in your power.

Poster for one of our courses,
conceptualised by Laurence
and created thanks to Kookie

Today, you can see how to organise your life so that it is compatible with the fulfilment of your true needs.

Step into the quietness of your inner self and see that the tenacity required to live with strength is inherent within you.

The inherent intelligence of the life force, the power that holds life in existence, is a strong, still protector – feel the power of your personal truth.

Composite created by Carey
using images found on Google

The Owl and the Vulture sit upright. The key for the Warrior is the spine, where the two dancing snakes of the kundalini rise. To be a Warrior of the Heart and to speak a truth that serves your own abundance – as well as the vitality and benevolence of the world – is a rare, almost unheard of consciousness in the public domain today.

To be a true Warrior of the Heart requires the connection of the life force from the base chakra all the way up to the crown.

Chakras and their corresponding glands, by LjL

A silent Warrior of the Heart would be connected from base to heart, but not necessarily at the throat or beyond. A fearless martyr Warrior may well be connected at base and the heart, but not necessarily at the sacral (second) chakra, the place of basic nourishment and the needs of the self.

Where is your energy disconnected? Where is it connected? Today is a good day to understand yourself in this way.

11 Eagle

[Friday 20 December 2019]

Eagle is a spiritual talisman of compassion combined with the clarity of the Sacred Warrior. Eagle flies between Heaven and Earth, scanning for the appropriate small detail to focus upon, in order to nourish itself.

Today, ask yourself: ‘What needs to be integrated into my life? What detail have I passed over that needs focusing upon? What is appropriate?’

The Plumed (or Feathered) Serpent:
Quetzalcoatl, one of the great Gods of Ancient Mesoamerica,
is a synthesis of serpent and bird.
The quetzal was a sacred bird with very beautiful feathers
that were used in elite and ritual costumes.
Image found on Google

Eagle tells us that the ecstasy of spiritual flight is to be combined with the pressing needs down in the theatre of the world. Allow yourself to feel the lightness of your heart, be elevated, then be open to the specific aspect of your life that requires attention. However, if you cannot find the connection between Heaven and Earth, do not worry – just walk through the door that opens.

Image originally found on Google

Within the manifest world today, a sky door opens for you. Enjoy the freedom, then remember to look clearly at the subtle fluctuation in your daily flow, for this is both a requirement and an opportunity. Zoom in and expand the picture. Allow the fuzzy, seemingly random occurrence, the minor discordance, the unexpected meeting, the lateral event, the moment of inspiration, the small delight, the unusual energy or the spontaneous call to expand into view, so you can see with clarity the significance of this in your life and to your life.

Today, something small opens up into something larger than you first realised, promising more freedom by attending to it. 

Opening into something larger;

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 11 Eagle:]
As kundalini energy rises, the brow chakra opens up, for it is here that the wings of the bird appear in the caduceus; where the soul takes flight into other dimensions of reality.

Composite created by Carey
using images found on Google

Today is not about the integration of the dual writhing serpents, but rather the arrival of the serpents at the gate. What opens up for you today will be fully integrated later.

Take flight consciously. Explore a new energy, but if you cannot yet see the connection to the world below, do not worry, just ask the question. Step into an elevated awareness, utilise the visionary gateway and wait for a sign.

10 Jaguar

[Thursday 19 December 2019]

Be alert and respond. Be a hunter. Be sovereign.

Do not be afraid to act autonomously today. Do what you are impulsed to do for your vitalised survival. Independence of thinking and action is required on 10 Jaguar.

Our sovereign cat, Nougat

Ideally, you will have some time in a natural environment to align your impulses with the power of nature. This is a good day for effective Shamanic action.

If you live with a cat, you know the score. They tell you, ‘It’s all about me.’ Cats are one manifestation (Day 10) of the Serpent consciousness. Cats are playful predators and are sensitive to all manner of cosmic energies. We have them as pets, knowing that they are self-centred, because they give so much with their presence.

Step into some of your magnificence, like a cat, because your playful edgy self-expression enlivens the atmosphere for everyone.

Although one cannot manifest the full potential of Spirit, it is important to be able to connect to the unlimited unique essence of who you really are.

There has never been a more important time in human history for individuals to remember the divine freedom that is our birthright.

Today, be cool, composed, naturally regal and leisurely – yet alert, with a hint of attitude.

Take time to appreciate your own uniqueness in order to appreciate the uniqueness of others. Some self-love is in order to be able to truly give the gift of love to others.
