9 Earthmover

[Tuesday 31 March 2020]

Today you can connect to the evolutionary impulse that underpins the present human condition.

Today, being a 9 Day, is about awareness of large cycles of time, as well as change and evolution through powerfully evocative yet abstract feelings.

Awaken to the changes that rumble in the soul. Soul memory is memory from beyond time–space that comes from your past, before your history. Do you remember how this moment was seeded?

'The English countryside festival scene... dancing the sun up.'

Into every moment we pour a tapestry of stories; different threads that are rooted in timeless zones and archaic evolutionary pasts. 

Today, you can potentially transcend your present trajectory and see the options from different timelines and with different outcomes. A good day to experience – through feeling – the multiple potentials of different timelines that are encoded into each moment.

If you have felt blocked for some time in any area of your life, today is a good day to see that you can open up to another reality.

explaining the structures of reality and
our agreements, based on our Enchantment level*

Reality is an agreement. Agreements create structures of reality. If an agreement is serving us, we are growing. On the other hand, if we really are blocked – if there really comes a point where we cannot seem to move forward in any way – then we do have the option to renegotiate. 

It is amazing when you look back on your life and see certain situations that felt so permanent at the time, which you subsequently liberated yourself from. Do you remember a previously solid situation with impenetrable walls from which you are now free? Reality tunnel.

Whilst you were in that psychological space, you had a particular future. Once you moved out of that space, the future changed.

If a situation you are experiencing is truly stuck, then consider dropping it and creating a new one.

The way to do this is to realise that any situation can only inhibit you with your agreement. We choose structures that do come with limitations, because the total experience rewards one enough to accept some compromises. This is wise. 

So evaluate your situation honestly. If you find that there is no longer any growth or reward, then you have the divine right, the legitimate right, to renegotiate a new situation.

This is how evolution works. We evolve from one structure to another. Each structure becomes more inclusive of more of reality. Each chapter of our lives is a relatively steady state of existence, but things eventually have to change. 

Change, evolution and growth is always an offer made by Life so that we may grow and live larger. It does mean letting something go, which is not easy, but the rewards outweigh the loss.

The human species is presently renegotiating its reality. The consensual world of the mainstream has served evolution and is still serving some people, but the rewards for the species are diminishing rapidly. It will take some time for the main culture to shift – luckily you do not have to wait for everyone.

 In fact, it is important for the sake of the collective that some individuals who have woken up early enough take the initiative to step into the new unchartered land now.

Are you one of those pioneers?

The new landscape is relatively empty and is in a state of flux. It will take some courage, but the potentials are enormous – the first steps are tentative, the way ahead is unclear, and the going is slow. But the choice is there, if you have a spirit of adventure.

8 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

[Monday 30 March 2020]

Commitment to your role in the matrix, as defined by the last timewave (which was the Vulture or Warrior Timewave).

Look after the self by deciding to live your truth, so as to be strong enough to be a healing presence. Feel the underlying essence, the sacred structure you are working with, and gain some clarity about the limits you wish to set yourself.

Warrior Bee by LjL

Consciously knowing the appropriate limitations brings safety and the realisable freedom that we all yearn for.

8 Days are days of implementing and organising that which is emerging, which is to say today is a good day to bring things towards manifestation, to actively draw energies into cohesion and harmony.

Today is a day of implementing energy in a practical fashion, compressing ideas and inspiration.

Focus on the image above and you will see the movement
that is inherent within this highly structured pattern.' LjL

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 8 Vulture:]
It is imperative that you not only centre yourself in stillness, but also call upon Light and Spirit, as well as the spirits that serve your higher self. Do connect and liaise with spirits using your careful definitions. Call upon specific healing, cleansing and clearing energies with words either spoken aloud or said silently.

Composite created by Carey

The efficacy of this simple act is increasing in power as more cosmic energy, including interstellar plasma, is flooding the planet. Darkness dissipates when Light is present, but the Light does have to be called upon.

Use the power of your attention, your words and your imagination.

It is simple; just do it.

7 Eagle

[Sunday 29 March 2020]

Feeling the Wholeness
A good day for emotional intelligence and an integrated clarity.

The integrated clarity of 7 Eagle means the ability to focus on a detail, whilst simultaneously retaining the awareness of context and feeling.

Free wallpaper image from here

The challenge is to not get lost in the details; to engage whilst retaining one’s sense of greater vision.

Alternatively, the challenge is to engage with some specifics, rather than just flying off into an indulgent fantasy. Listen to the subtle feelings whilst performing daily tasks.

Move into resonance today with the mind of the world. Hone in on your locality and goal, and retain the balanced perspective of both the larger and smaller pictures.

Balanced perspective,

7 Days are halfway through the timewave and provide us with the whole energy of the timewave through resonance. We can feel the totality – not the sophisticated mechanics of the timewave (which is for 12 Days), but the general wholeness.

Eagle is the immanent consciousness that we can perceive and engage with. The environment thus perceived is then seen in all its glory – and it is to be rejoiced at, for it is full of beauty, abundance and love. Once we see this, we can draw upon the bountiful energy and call it into our life.

Image found on Pinterest

There is more than enough to go round. Everything we need is available, once we are conscious of the fact that we are drawing energy from the magnificence of all that is around us.

With a natural gratitude that comes with our awakening perception and experience of the vital immanence we exist within, we can then ask unashamedly for life to provide for us abundantly.

6 Jaguar

[Saturday 28 March 2020]

The feeling self is an instinctive self, prowling the unseen environment of the World Soul. Enjoy the forming thoughts and enticing feelings that arise and sink in your consciousness.

A day of feeling alert.

Follow the rhythm of the day instinctively, staying alert to the playful moment.

Composite created by Carey

Jaguar is tied to the Earth in its wild state, especially at night. Jaguar is the feminine earthy vitality, sensual and powerful.

Today, you might feel a strong need to connect to the wild environment, feeding your gratitude for the beauty around you.

A good day to allow space for shamanic practice. Follow the call of nature, and consciously and directly evoke connection to natural spirits and sacred space.

There is something beautiful about how energy unfolds on a 6 Day, while Jaguar provides a visceral connection to nature and to shamanism. Jaguar Days bring a luxurious heightening of the senses.

Image from here

[On 6 Jaguar of 29 May 2012, Laurence wrote the following:]
‘Jaguar days are always more shamanic and jungley, which for me this morning was doubly so. I awoke with a strong need not to do my daily qi gong or yoga, but to just lie on my back on our roof terrace instead, listening to the intense cicada and bird chorus.

After one hour, I went into the hills here on Lamma. The day was overcast, breezy and unusually cool (though still very humid). The wind, insects and sheer verdant growth in the hills really evoked the jungle and a shamanic atmosphere … not to mention the small brown snake and the big jet-black snake (Chinese cobra, I think) on the path that my dog and I bumped into. That gave me some shock and awe!’

5 Reed (Skywalker)

[Friday 27 March 2020]

Today observe everything all around you and see how you feel in different situations. The message of the day is to be aware, to be conscious in all directions of the energy sphere in which you live, whilst staying in the centre.

Connect to your higher self at the same time as being centred in home and family. Gather your energy and resources; find your inner authority.

This can be a detached, floating, suspended and waiting kind of day; a day of emphasising internal energy.

The proactive person will be consciously centring themselves today. Be detached and observe the world all around you. Increase your ability to centre yourself within your soul by sensitising yourself to yourself first, before opening up into the human and cosmic environment. See yourself as a reflected fractal of the whole cosmos, but know that you are your own unique filtered version of all that is.

Composite created by Carey

Sit in the middle of a circle, acknowledge the Four Directions of East, South, West and North, then acknowledge the Sky above and the Earth below. Feel yourself centred on Earth in your life whilst connecting to the higher self beyond time and space.

Call upon the higher self to help you find the strength of mind to recognise that you are the author of your life, and that you also play your part – at least from time to time – to act as guide to other people.

Evoke the intelligence of your centre; feel into your subtle centre. Feel the core sense of being awake to all that surrounds you.

4 Good Road (Human, Grass, Long Good Road)

[Thursday 26 March 2020]

The Long Good Road of Life
What is your destiny? Today is a good day to ask yourself: ‘What is it that endures in me? What is consistent throughout my life?’

By seeing the essential theme of your life up to this point, you can remind yourself of your destiny, which will be a continuation and development of the same theme. However, it will never be fully definable in sharp logical terms.

Stepping out on the
Good Road of Life

Today can also be a day of collective feeling; a sense of commonality. Today we can feel part of the human collective family and the human experience. Today is a day where we can feel our membership of the species, as well as the patterns and possibilities that we are working with.

We all walk a path that has an essential similarity to the paths of all others.

Today you may also sense the long good road ahead, a soft focus view, a general understanding of the basic parameters of your life yet to unfold. It is as if you are receiving a message from your soul.

Alternatively: You might feel frustrated, inhibited or confused about the lack of options in life, or feel a deep sense of life being scripted beyond your control. Sometimes it feels like there aren’t enough options, ie you have to earn money; your life is framed by your appearance, age, gender or ethnicity; your responses are automated from early programming, and so on. If that is the case, just sit with the feeling and be conscious of it.

If you can truly feel the sense of the quintessential humanness – the human experience you are having – no matter what, then you can be more present.  If you can truly see the foundational pattern, then you will find a degree of liberation by seeing your role and your purpose in the human context.

Drawing of one of our
Good Roads on Lamma,

The consciousness of Good Road is the existential human experience. It is an unfolding journey, where the challenge is to use the mind, to create purpose and to sculpt a story from your journey.

But, more than that, it is to stay open to the is-ness, the human experience of life.

3 Monkey

[Wednesday 25 March 2020]

A good energy day for higher creativity. Talk to your muses.

Feel the weave of the reality tapestry, the underlying dynamic movement of life.

'Shapeshifters: archaic and futuristic transformers'
by Laurence James Lucas

The playful spirit of 3 Monkey knows no boundaries and crosses the object–subject divide. The slightly intangible sense of something truly supernatural and wonderful might encroach upon your consciousness today. Was it real? Ah, well, what is real?

Today is a good day to play with the edges of consciousness, either with a cat-nap, some easy meditation or through daydreaming. Allow yourself a little drift.

Our trickster feline Nougat

Monkey is creativity, the deceptively brilliant intelligence that lies within all art and the construction of reality.

Monkey is a trickster that can appear to be playful and adolescent, yet is actually focused on weaving the fabric of reality, unseen by those who look for overly simple logical and linear constructs.

 Thank you Daniel Clarke
for permission to use this wonderful painting
of three monkeys

Being a 3 Day, today is not a day to complete creative tasks, but rather to allow yourself to be inspired, without attempting to finish or understand where you are heading with it. Be playful. Recognise you will waver with ideas on a 3 Day, but allow the feelings some latitude.

Subtle energy moves within your soul and it feels enlivening.

Astral Journey, by Cameron Gray,

Note from Carey: Laurence often experienced lucid dreaming, and very often on 3 Monkey. He says of this day: ‘I seem to always have a profound astral connectivity on 3 Monkey…’

On 3 Monkey of 21 July 2009, he wrote:
‘3 Monkey started for me with an amazing lucid dream of floating across the land in a way that felt like running without running. The dream experience felt so familiar and so real. This speaks to me of the energy of dreams and how, on one hand, they remind us of a more subtle reality, while on the other hand, how subtle energy crosses into and affects our “real world”.’

Three Gregorian Years and Interesting Times

Today, Tuesday 24 March 2020, is exactly three solar (Gregorian) years since the death of my beloved Laurence James Lucas.

As I was sitting on my little balcony this morning – just minutes before I was due to light my incense at exactly 7.45am while practising Ho’oponopono – a large single crow flew onto the nearby tree and started cawing very loudly. There are often a number of smaller crows sitting there, but this morning it was just one, and he was very large and very vocal! Instead of flying off in the other direction, this morning he did something extremely unusual – he flew straight towards me and then directly over the roof terrace of our home. Ah! There you are my beloved! Good morning.

I’m sorry

Please forgive me

Thank you

I love you.

I know I am not alone in missing Laurence so very deeply, day in and day out. I miss his humour, his wisdom, his insights, his enormous compassion and ability to honour and empower others. I miss his spirit of adventure, his love of life, his laughter. And I miss his love.

Particularly now, during these strange and ‘interesting’ times, I know there are many of us who are feeling his loss very strongly. We are in shock; we are finding it hard to regain our centres every day, to breathe through the fear into a place of calm and stillness. Our hearts are torn apart by all the tragedy all around us, all over the world. So many of us are confused, frightened, emotionally and/or physically vulnerable, struggling terribly with financial uncertainty or even disaster. We feel lost and cannot clearly see a way forward.

We are needing to hear Laurence’s perception on what is happening; we are needing to take comfort from his balanced and clear overview. We need his profound inner strength and his deeply held knowledge of how to access our own inner resources and spiritual strength to help us through these challenging times.

Here is what I know.

Whether this COVID-19 is the result of someone eating an infected bat; or the result of an accidental or deliberate discharge from a bio-chemicals lab; or because 5G has caused it, or has at least made people in the areas it has been rolled out more vulnerable; or is a natural and inevitable part of the cyclical nature of viral outbreaks that have happened throughout history; or because Mother Nature has said ‘Enough is enough! Reset, people! I need a break.’; or because God is smiting us for our wickedness and sin (which, for the record, I do not believe at all!); or for any other reason that is out there – none of that matters right now. It might matter later, but right now it is totally irrelevant.

What is relevant, what is vital, is how we all respond. We have a choice. We can be kind; we can be compassionate. We can inform ourselves of how to protect ourselves, our loved ones, our communities and the wider human and animal community. We can take practical measures. We can respect, help and support each other.

As a friend of mine – a fung shui master in Vancouver – posted recently, we can reframe ‘social distancing’ as ‘distant socializing’. We can reach out to people through emails, WhatsApp, Skype, telephone, handwritten letters in our neighbours’ post boxes letting them know that we are willing and available to help if they need anything. We can contact people we love to tell them we love them and are thinking of them. We can find ways every day in our own homes to go inward, to find that extra strength and calm. We can reach out to others when we need support – practical or emotional.

We can be kind.

In the face of every crisis, there is opportunity. Let’s use this ‘interesting time’ to seize every opportunity we can to be grateful for what we have, to fill our hearts with love, to understand this as the opportunity it is for all of us living in planet Earth (not ‘on’; we actually live ‘in’ planet Earth and her electromagnetic aura) to move to a higher level of consciousness; to evolve towards a place of greater benevolence and abundance, of greater responsibility for our own actions and a greater sense of connectivity with every other human and sentient being.

While it is unwise to ignore the shadow or to bury our heads in the sand, it is eminently wise to choose to focus on the light. To find and share stories of the incredible human kindness and courage that so very many people are displaying, to create kindness and support for ourselves and others all around us.

Laurence would see this as part of the 2012 Era (approximately 1986 to well into the 2020s), where the world is moving closer to a planetary consciousness and where we have the opportunity (despite the birthing pains of that opportunity) to move to a more evolved consciousness. It is up to us, now, which way we go.

Let’s honour and respect ourselves, our loved ones, our communities, our whole human and animal family. Let’s spread kindness and love. Let’s offer prayers of gratitude, let’s find moments of joy and laughter and let’s keep our sense of humour and a sense of calm, so that we may better be able to support ourselves and others.

Be kind, be safe, know that we are all loved. 

With love and blessings to us all, on this day and every day,

Carey xxx

2 Dog

[Tuesday 12 March 2020. New Moon 09:28 UTC/GMT; 17:28 Hong Kong time]

The Duality of Needs
Hold the space and meet the challenge.

Composite created by Carey

The duality of feelings from the soul manifests most obviously in the realm of relationship. This is challenging, of course, but also offers the beauty of contrast. Feel beneath the surface of opposition and you will enjoy the contrast you get from your significant other. Sometimes two people can act as one and look out into the world together.

Two beings looking out as one

2 Dog is a day of emotional contrast. As today can be emotionally challenging, accept and feel into the duality or polarity of the day without trying to work out a resolution in the mind.

The Dog Daykeeper is related to the basic emotions and needs of our psyche – needs for companionship on the good road of life, as well as our appetites for food, sex and comfort.

Chocolate and Sambal: first kiss

Dog rules emotional territory and the defence of that territory. This includes personal and community territorial boundaries, as well as the laws that accompany the emotional boundaries of a person, a relationship or a community.

Stacy and Sunny, in my youth

Dog is also the day of guardianship – and that can include the spirits that guide and protect us on the subtle planes.

1 Water (Moon)

[Monday 23 March 2020]

Today, 1 Water (also called Moon; known as Muluc to the Maya), sees the start of a new 13-day timewave, one which gives us access to the deepest and most subtle of feelings, the soulful and the ethereal.

Composite created by Carey
using images found on Google

The teaching of the Water Timewave is how to be in the flow of life’s energies; how to surrender to and feel – and thereby be connected to – the River of Life.

Give of yourself; cleanse and purify the soul; make offerings to Life and to other people, to increase your sense of soulful immersion in the deeper dimensions of reality.

The consciousness of being a droplet in the ocean of spirit…

The Water or Moon Daykeeper represents the connection to soul and greatly increases sensitivity. This Daykeeper (and its timewave) requires us to retain our connection by honouring the fact that our existence is dependent upon all that has gone before, as well as upon the stream of life in which we swim. To this end, we are to remain conscious of clearing and cleansing the blockages in the stream.

The Maya associate this Daykeeper with ‘owing’ and ‘offering’. Our existence owes much to divinity, to the ancestors and to those whose work we build upon.

Image from Imgur

This is the timewave to cleanse and consciously purify with the spirit of water, to burn incense or light candles in a sacred manner and to feel the gratitude within us for our lives.

Part of that is allowing yourself to have what you really need, in order to be in a space of gratitude. You cannot fake it. Repressing one’s desires just leads to resentment.

Water purification ritual

If you experience turbulent emotions, feel blocked, are suffering or feel impoverished, then this timewave is the perfect period to clear debts and do ceremonies of gratitude. You will find that peace and tranquillity can return quickly if you do this, and you will feel immersed in the soulful realm.

Spend time near water, allow yourself to feel things deeply, and regain a deep sense of connection over the next 13 days.

13 Rabbit (Star)

[Sunday 22 March 2020]

The truth of you is that you are pulled in many directions, but choices have to be made. Today is a day where you can become conscious of the many things you are attracted by.

Truth is everywhere, in everyone and everything. Today you can access the realisation that you are radiating your story, your perception and your take on the world into the universal sea of light.

Earth collage by LjL

A day to appreciate the abundance of everything and how all life experience is valid in its own way.

The proliferation of all things in all directions. Celebrate this day, enjoy the expanse of it as the day has a luminosity and a lightness of spirit to it. It is a good day to indulge yourself and let go of your normal restraints and balance – not forever, but for today.

A good day for speculative enquiry into the bizarre, the fringe and the portentous.

Graphic by LjL

Alternatively: Allow the self to explore all of your most exciting potentials and fantasies through the imagination, as an exercise of release, renewal and elasticity.

The explosion of excitement creates the implosion of awareness to the central core of your soul.

Scatter your thoughts in all directions with abandon (and detachment) to the outer edges of your psyche, and then be conscious of the blissful emptiness that is revealed at the centre.

The timeless anticipation of pure consciousness as it awaits to encounter all experience…

LjL was very attracted by the beach,
the sea, stones and pebbles,
and by making patterns
of everything he found

Rabbit is the ripening of consciousness with its accompanying abundance, richness and vitality – and is therefore intoxicating. The spirit shines outwards from within and illuminates all things. As this is a 13 Day, which is movement in all directions, you can understand the vitality of the energy on the 260-day count frequency.

Be sure to find a moment to replenish and rejuvenate with a power nap if you feel drained at any point in the day.

12 Deer (Hand, Grasp)

[Saturday 21 March 2020]

A great day to feel balanced between reason and intuition. A day where you can hold the essence of your truth in your hand.

The whole truth of your life, your opinions and your aspirations is a vast, complex and seemingly contradictory energy. So how do we synthesise this truth into a coherent systemic whole?

The essence can be held, but of course the array of details have to be held lightly, without clenching.

Feel the breeze – maybe shoot the breeze – whilst enjoying a sense of having a firm foundation rooted in the ineffable.

A great day where you can feel a real connection to the source energy, the essential truth, not as a concept nor as an equation, but as a flowing adaptive light that has an enduring quality, as it is a continuum that runs through your life.

A beautiful fractal pattern
by Mobius Dragon IFS,
from here

Complex organised patterns emerge in your psyche, then slowly morph into a new form that retains the essence of the previous revelation.

At the same time, you recognise that you need to actively choose to place your attention on that which resonates with your core truth. There are limits to what you can do, who you can be and what you can attend to – you cannot hold it all in your psyche.

Another gorgeous complex organised pattern
Fractal by Jax from here

Come into alignment today with the enduring thread that runs through your life, the thread that has been woven by your divinity. Choose to stay in alignment with your soul through the cascading journey of life.

If you have been following this 13-day cycle, the truth that has been building in this timewave is now present; it has organically emerged. Today, a sense of one’s truth and personal strength surfaces.
