4 Lizard (Seed)

[Saturday 31 August 2019]

Today the raw intelligence or plan of life reveals itself. This is the most basic structural imprint from which all of existence is created; it is the template realm.

and amazing photographer, André Eichman

Today, you might ask if the ground of your consciousness is fertile, free from weeds and clear of stones so there is room for the seeds of your life intentions to germinate and sprout.

A good day to understand that Life itself, in the general sense, is intelligent and has intentionality, direction and purpose.

Furthermore it is a good day to recognise that Life in essence is wholly abundant.

If you are stuck in an impoverished situation, today consider looking outside of the box that is diminishing you and be open to a new plan, an expansion of your situation.

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

[Friday 30 August 2019. New Moon at exactly 10:37 UTC (11.37am BST); 18:37 HK time]

Key words for today: Portal opening, fertile, empty, waiting, anticipation, stirring, incomplete, freeing the mind.

Social Triangles, by LjL

Energy building as you stay in the house, in the soul, in the mystery. Feel your energy stirring with some inspiration.

Subtle movement in the psyche.

The energy is in the house. A good day for social triangles and to see what mysterious emergence results in the midst of three people.

Create space in your self.

Today, you might feel a little restless, not quite settling on anything. If you can allow the movement and vibration to be, and accept a degree of incomplete thoughts and actions, you can enjoy the expansion and feeling of sensing a subtle mystery that is opening in the middle of the tri-rotational energy.

2 Wind

[Thursday 29 August 2019]

Feedback, receiving communications and releasing ideas.

Challenges may arise with communication, delays, arguments, difficult decisions and more. Hold steady, for today is 2 Wind.


Dancing with the Wind, by Carey

Our blocks, created by the duality within us, reveal themselves today. First accept the situation, in order to move beyond the duality lock.

The Wind is an activator, the Breath, the Word, the Spirit that Initiates. Day 2 is duality. Wind is changeable and adaptable; it can be destructive, but it is always refreshing.

Potentially, this is a day of black-and-white divisions and opposites, as well as the clarity of knowing what you like and what you don’t like, what you need and what you can let go of.

The evolutionary impulse of spirit towards greater union is an oscillating process of merging and separating, co-operation and competition, dependence and autonomy.

Today, hold the space to separate that which has become a conglomeration – and which thus feels inert – so as to be ready to move forward.

1 Crocodile

[Wednesday 28 August 2019. Happy Mayan New Year!]

The new timewave that begins today, Crocodile (Imix, also known as Dragon), brings 13 days of nourishment as you move into a state of trust with life itself.

Dragon, by Laurence James Lucas
The Crocodile Daykeeper is also known as Dragon

What is truly nourishing? How can you nourish others, and what truly nourishes you on a basic level? What brings more love, protection and acceptance into your life? How can you cultivate your primal trust in life?

Pay homage to the Goddess. The Nurturing Mother has a dark side; the feminine can devour – she has our respect.

Today, accept the nonlinear as primal energy enters into your life; this energy is to be received for it nurtures you. You have survived this long, you have been supported by Life up to this point and Life itself is always willing to support you more. 

Dig deep within your feelings to open your heart to a deeper level of protection and sustenance.

Protection; image from here

The Crocodile comes rumbling into reality, yet offers profound food for your soul. Enjoy the natural world today and recognise the way that life takes care of us.

The heart rules the head more than usual in the next 13 days.

13 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Tuesday 27 August 2019]


You can access the state of subtle transcendental bliss today. No worries.

A day of dissipative light. Release all heaviness, gravitas or profundity and feel the graceful emanation of the energy of today. 



A day of soft focus as the flower fully opens; a celebratory feeling is inherent within the last day of the Rabbit Timewave as we open in readiness to the Crocodile Timewave tomorrow.

Today you can potentially see the divinity of life, the omnipresent light of creation, everywhere and in everyone.

The male transcendental spirit hands over to the Goddess tomorrow.

12 Storm

[Monday 26 August 2019]

Refresh the Mind, Free the Mind
The self-organising intelligence of your complex life appears before you. See the coherence within your randomness.


Day 12 of each timewave gives us the rational understanding of the energetic signature of that timewave. It is a day of organised information, the intelligence and structure that our minds can connect to.


Consciousness and the plasma brain, by LjL

Storm is the purifier, by rain and lightning, that breaks open reality structures that are inhibitory and/or no longer working, and which are too tight. Storm is a liberator and as a 12 Day, it is an organised liberator.

Today brings you an insight into going with the energy of the day and being a conduit for a reorganisation of structures in your life. Your challenge for today is to become conscious of the dynamic, flowing structure inherent within this day.


Fractal storm,

The Rabbit Timewave is an explosion of everything and, if you go with the chaotic element of today, if you surrender and yet apply your mind to seeing the pattern, a beautiful, complex exhilarating understanding will emerge.

Rabbit in the Mayan Sacred Calendar is also called Star, since Rabbit is attuned to the cosmos – the subtle energies penetrating Earth. The quality of Rabbit is in being able to respond, adapt and stay alert to subtle cosmic energies and, in so doing, Rabbit can frame a bigger picture of reality.

The Rabbit Timewave challenges us with its abundance and the understanding that ‘all that glitters is not gold’, yet with the recognition that we are here to be enchanted, to become captivated by the allure of life.

The world is forever in a state of being enchanted; reality is a spell cast by all manner of beings on multiple dimensions and by us, for us all.

The dis-enchantment with the old consensual world grows, as does the enticement to become seduced by the new incoming frequencies, information, philosophies and the Grand Myth. The Grand Myth is the essential story that finds a resonant, common agreement amongst the greater part of consciousness.



Creation story at the levels of
Saturn and Uranus Enchantments,
flipchart by LjL

Transitional times of culture are when we collectively renegotiate the Grand Myth. Most people do this fairly passively – they are fed stories and inadvertently align with them, without deep inquiry.

Today, elevate your intuition and your consciousness.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 12 Storm:]
It is in times of great duress that the biggest breakthroughs in consciousness can occur.

The consciousness field at this time – during the 2012 era (which began in 1986 and will continue to affect us well into the 2020s) – is open to the grand picture of existence. This is because the consensual agreement on reality is in a state of flux and the structure of society is weak; the field is therefore full of holes.

In contrast, during times of comfort, when society seems to provide a clear direction for purpose and function, our consciousness is contained.

Each Enchantment of culture is held in place by the underlying mythology, the meta-myth. The meta-myth of ‘material science’ is no longer adequate for experience. The Mayan ‘end date’ of 21 December 2012 (based on the Long Count calendar of the Maya) has clearly delivered its promise of large-scale change, and this process is still unravelling before us.

Each story for each stage of culture is the essence that generates the structure of consciousness within the totality of consciousness in which we are walking around and within which we have our being. Each structure is controlled in the shadows by ‘enchanters’, those who deliberately control, design and orchestrate the context. Within that structure, we are entertained. We are given a theatre that provides us with an enormous life experience, purpose and growth. This continues until the structure no longer holds us; instead, it inhibits us and we see the shadow, we see the manipulation and we see our own co-creative dependency and our responsibility for being held within this bewitchment.

We become disillusioned and we rebel. We become frustrated with our own contribution and our choices that put us into that theatre. It is easy to beat ourselves up for being fooled, but in reality, this was what we needed and was as much truth and expansion of experience and consciousness as we could handle at the time.

What I have found from my extensive research is that this 2012 era, this transitional period in which we now live, has similarities to the late 1880s and the early 20th century. In the 1890s – in particular around 1892 – the old world of moral certainty and religious conviction was falling apart, while the Darwinian vista and new moral imperative of material growth, competition and economic progress was emerging, but not yet dominant. In this state, the alternatives to religious and scientific consensus were wide open for exploration.


Charles Darwin (1809-1892)

There was a seeding of higher consciousness in and around 1892 (expressed by the Neptune and Pluto conjunction). A tremendous amount of visionary art forms in all fields of human endeavour was being expressed. Science was still forming and the metaphysical was popular among the intelligentsia, leading to cross-fertilisation of the spiritual and material perspectives. The 1890s was also a time when some of our most profound mystics, visionaries, artists, writers and scientists were born. The contemporary cultural phenomena of Steam Punk reflects the extraordinary nature of the 1890s, which was far wilder than history has told us.

Steam Punk image found on Google

The decade leading up that new millennium was full of hope and adventurous inquiry, as it was in the 1990s. The structure of consciousness within the totality field of consciousness was not yet consolidated in the late 19th century.

The Neo-Darwinian structure was not well established until around 1930. This led to history being rewritten yet again, and the Neo-Darwinian meta-myth became pervasive as the dominant structure.

So here we are once again – we have access to greatly expanded perspectives of truth. However, to access them requires a journey through the Shadowlands of assumption, a disturbing confrontation with the previously useful illusions we willingly took on.

'Communication with the spirit world through séances became very popular
with the establishment of the Spiritualist movement in the mid-19th century.
SĂ©ance parties were also a favoured form of entertainment
among the fashionable members of society.'
Image and quote from here

In recent years, the niche spiritual enquirers who are cognisant of conspiracy have started to recognise that the control mechanism is cosmic and that, like Star Wars suggests, the ‘battle’ between dark and light is aeons in age.

One of the most illuminating suggestions has been the notion of the ‘false light’, that is, the manipulation of spiritual seekers through the presentation of a saviour philosophy, ET race, alleged spiritual masters, whistle-blowers etc etc. This has made the information terrain extremely hazardous, yet exciting and compelling – like a psychic game being played out within the environment.

The imperative falls upon the individual to neither dismiss nor become totally enraptured by visionary perspectives, but to retain their own sovereignty and free thinking.

Do your own research and work it out for yourself.

11 Obsidian (Obsidian Mirror, Flint)

[Sunday 25 April 2019]

Doorways, Reflections and Dimensions
Transparency and integration. A good day to be transparent or to see through everything, to see through the data and the one-thousand interesting things that arise, to encounter the flickering light that reflects the unity of all life.

The flickering light of creation is akin to the shimmering light of the sun on the sea.

Obsidian is the dark mirror and the scalpel; Obsidian is used to look into the shadow and to cut out the elements of the psyche that are toxic. Day 11 is the energy of integration and on 11 Obsidian we look to find a doorway through the shadow.

friend David Mullins

Today, doors are opening into the holographic universe and an experiential realisation is possible that matter is the intersection of coherent beams of light. In other words, look through the form, events, occurrences and people who are mirroring you today to see beyond the illusion.

A day of penetrating clarity of consciousness, a clarity that emerges gradually out of the smoky mirror.


Image found on Google

All forms are just energy vortexes giving the impression of solidity. Energy is a reflection of the movement of consciousness. Consciousness spins at different speeds, which creates the different levels of existence. All levels of existence are reflections of what we might call God, refracted through the dimensions of apparent separation.

As we become more conscious, more levels of existence become transparent.

10 Earthmover

[Saturday 24 August 2019]

Something materialises today – this is a small piece of starlight that has appeared before you. Today brings change into your life in this physical realm, revealed through and recognisable to you by synchronicity coming into form.

Tectonic Heights,
the energy that sculpts landscapes, by LjL

Meaningful coincidences coalesce into something tangible. The synchronic trail, or the multiplicities of opportunities, reach a temporary full stop. Perhaps the Zen Master’s stick has just hit you on the back?

Something might seem to have fallen apart. You may feel shaken or disturbed, so we ask, ‘What needs to broken up, in order for your life force to flow?’

Earthquakes allow the hidden riches to surface, but first there may be a disturbance to shake us out of our comfort zone.


Converging Threads of Change,
by LjL

The synergy and integration of past aspirations and ideas can come together today as they are forced to merge and manifest. If you are tuned into the 260-day pulse, there is a little earth-shaking moment for you as several threads from your subjective reality – be they fantasy or intention – crunch and converge into form.

Generally the energy is vitalising. Take note of what has manifested and how it has manifested.

Suddenly the change will be looking right at you...

Do You Hear the Creaking of the Tectonic Movements within the Planetary Organism?
What we are now experiencing on Earth is a fundamental core transformation. The cogs of history are grinding; slow, deep, profound and enduring changes are taking place within the Planetary Organism. This evolutionary process affects every aspect of life.

We can just take shelter and wait.

Or, we can directly connect to the vital force that is underneath this hitherto unseen scale of planetary change. How do we as sovereign souls do this? How can we, as mere individuals, come into alignment with the creaking, shifting tectonic movements of the environment of consciousness in this epoch-unfolding drama?

The answer is … only through holding our attention and our focus on building, securing and incrementally walking forwards through daily practice and navigation of the contextual frequencies.

A chasm exits between the internet and the real-world experience. Will you traverse that gap? Will you convert and translate the inspiration from the virtual world into your direct experience?

The informational flow of the internet is a wonderful tool. However, it is distracting a lot of people from getting on with sculpting the energy that is required, which is based on plugging into the enormous influx of cosmic energy that is actually available and at hand.

Now, more than ever, we are to call upon guidance, protection and healing to utilise the age-old protocols of spiritual practice, whilst tuning into the unique complex array of the frequencies of the present era.

This is from an article I stumbled upon yesterday – yet another article on what I call the Cosmic Influx, aka the 2012 Effect: A Supernova That Exploded In 1987 Caused Something So Huge That It Affects Us All

Cosmic rays are light waves of a very high frequency that have been shown to transform human DNA – therefore affecting human evolution.

Even as far back as 1973, famous science writer and astronomer Carl Sagan spoke about how cosmic rays cause DNA mutations and would have affected human evolution.

Cosmic rays are passing through the Earth and our bodies all the time due to ambient processes of the cosmos – hence why there is always a slow and gradual evolution taking place. However, in 1987 – the same year when a spark of change was being felt across the world – something different took place. A Supernova occurred close enough to the Earth that it was visible to the naked eye. Cool, but what does that have to do with anything?

Around and after the year of 1987, many other celestial events have occurred; the most known being a massive increase in solar flares (also producing cosmic rays) and a rapid decrease of the Earth’s magnetic field – both of which are happening to this day. The Earth’s magnetic field is known to act as a shield against high frequencies… so what happens when it weakens? All the goodness of high frequencies seeps right in. Now many would think this is crazy because of the common belief that they are dangerous, however the purpose of cosmic rays and other high frequencies isn’t to fry us alive; but to gradually instigate the evolution of our DNA; the blueprint of our level of consciousness

9 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

[Friday 23 August 2019]

Heightened Perspective
A high-synchronicity day as an alignment with Earth magnetics is heightened. Deep feelings are evoked as intense energy passes through you, opening your awareness beyond your usual emotional, mental, ethical, philosophical and aspirational constraints.

Today, you can be conscious of larger cycles and chapters in your life. What is coming towards completion? Access this energy through stillness, strength and confidence in your truth. Truth is the connection between Heaven and Earth through the central channel of your subtle body.


Tree Spirit (aka Transcendental Freedom),
by LjL

Remembering your truth from beyond time.

Soul memory is the memory beyond time, which we can connect to at the end and beginning of personal cycles, for this is when small portals open for us to access TIME beyond the time we normally think of as time.

Today is a good day for transcendental freedom.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 9 Vulture:]
You Cannot Fail
Empowering the self is a decision to be your truth, speak your truth and live the way you feel you need to.

For those leading alternative lifestyles, this often means having more courage in order to be self-sustaining, compared with those who are embedded in corporate culture. No criticism is intended towards people leading the latter kind of life, but I am talking to people now who have chosen to live largely outside the mainframe. You might have a corporate job, yet be well and truly free of its mind-field.

These words are written mostly for those who are ‘doing their own thing’. If you are following your heart, doing what you love doing, then you are a success.


Drawing by Carey

This is the truth and every single day that you recognise that you are a success because you are doing what you are doing, because you are following your heart and passion, you are a success. Every day that you forget that you are a success is a day that you have not succeeded.

What did I just say?

Success is largely attitude.

Okay, so we know that success is normally measured by money and public acclaim or recognition – and we all need a certain amount of that to be able to function.

But, if you perceive the world as a theatre for the soul to experience, rather than a mere physical domain, then you know it is your experience that matters. Your experience of life is, of course, linked to your relationship with other people and with external conditions, but your internal attitude, perspective and autonomy of perception are the sovereign rulers of your experience.

Every day is a challenge, regardless of what you do; every day asks us to re-grasp and reconnect to who we are, to what we know and what we are doing.

Success is not a static entity; it is a continual task of self-belief, connection, self-management and the reclamation of truth.

No matter how much money or acclaim someone receives from the outside world, once they are yesterday’s news they only have what they developed inside.

A successful life, for many people, is one of love, sharing and relationship. No argument from me there – this is perhaps the greatest of treasures – but I am specifically focusing on the task of doing your own thing, doing a vocational project, being self-employed, perhaps as an artist of consciousness, a player in the matrix, an agent of humanitarian endeavour, a facilitator of joy, a radiant sun in the community, an artist with a heart or a musician with a message.


Uncredited image found on Google

If you are putting your heart and soul into your vocation, expressing your authentic self to the best of your abilities, then you are a success and you cannot fail.

Even if you spend years seemingly ‘getting by’ without major recognition or financial reward.

I have found that rewards always come to me when I am putting myself on the line and have soul in the game. Having 'soul in the game' means exposing yourself by risking failure, whilst being authentically creative with your life – in this situation you will always get a win.


Pacal Troll

Here is the catch.

It might not be through the intended goal; it might not manifest as a linear response from your actions. You might appear to fail at a task, but if the energy was invested, the energy will come back to you threefold.

Your purpose is to live with purpose, to follow your passion, to speak your truth to the best of your ability and to continually claim your success through the practice of connection, self-management and self-empowerment.

In this challenging epoch, those of us leading an alternative life need to remind ourselves that if we do lose heart from time to time, we have not failed.

Do what you love doing and you are a success.

8 Eagle

[Thursday 22 August 2019]

What is present?

What is here, available and moving through you?

What is?


A day of integration as you feel the need to be who you are, without effort or affect, to clear your vision of impassioned views, so as to allow all of your perspectives their place within your psyche. A certain degree of emptiness allows us to see more of who we are, rather than just one facet.


The Immanence (aka The Vision), by LjL

The commitment today is to the integrated self that stands before you, to the degree of integration you can recognise at present.

What is present? What is here, available and moving through you? What is? The answer is the Immanence; the Spirit is present in all that is.

Eagle is sometimes known to the Maya of the Highlands as ‘Metal’. This is because of Eagle’s ability to see an expansive worldly vision – thus it is associated with money and wealth.


Metal Eagle, by Eddie Stannes,
from Flikr (Shrewsbury Flower Show)

Day 8 is a day of commitment. So, if you have a vision, one that was forming during the last timewave (Eagle Timewave), take note and recognise its value.

Opportunity is present; abundance is available. We often cannot see it because, generally speaking, we get in our own way. Call upon yourself, call upon your higher self to perceive what is immediately present.


Dream Seed,
Deep within the Shamanic Mainframe, by LjL

Metaphysics
The Dream Seeds I talked about yesterday are tangible potentials in the etheric psyche of our planet and belong to the Devic realm. I suggest the Dream Seeds are not easily accessible via clairvoyance, as they are deep within the Shamanic Mainframe.

Today though, we are in touch with the more accessible visions of Eagle. 8 Eagle speaks to us of the immanence within the sky and the terrestrial stratosphere, whereby the potentials from within the Devic Kingdom can be selected and refined, and when choices can be committed to.

Today’s commitment is made within the perceptional field, where your energy naturally interpenetrates the collective human consciousness and where that also meets the Earth Mind.
