3 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

[Sunday 31 October 2021. SAMHAIN (into 1 November) Sun at 15° Scorpio]

The key phrase for today is ‘coming into alignment’.

Composite created by Carey

A day to feel energised by your power. If you connect to the Mayan Sacred Calendar frequency today, you will feel strong and confident.

Draw upon the wisdom of the past, or your innate wisdom, to feel the move towards the centre. The central column within you carries the essence of all that you have experienced.

A day of moving towards an integrated confidence; a confidence based not on arrogance, but instead based on your own experience.

A good day to validate and reinforce that which you know. Recognise that your life experience gives you authority to be the author of your life.

There is a need to go forward with resolute strength, knowing the social terrain is uncertain, as energy is being released from all outworn structures. Fortune favours those who can keep on reconnecting to their centre on a daily basis, moving forward with Sacred Warrior attitude tempered with elasticity.

We have to accept the world is in a state of massive change and that there is an air of uncertainty and fragility – and yet there is the possibility of an incremental jump forward. From this foundation of knowledge, we can find the resolve to work with the energy and we can prosper.

It is not a time to be weak or to seek excuses. Remember to continually re-find your strength on a daily basis and that personal responsibility to your sovereign calling is required. Feel the pulse that comes from within you; do not expect the social environment to be a comfort. Stay away from the mob and be your own person, for all our sakes.

Alignment: Image from here

Quiet resolve, open alertness, determination to keep coming back to the core, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and keep on stepping forward. Feel the force of a highly energised environment and adapt to it, and it will befriend you.

Life wants change.

2 Eagle

[Saturday 30 October 2021]

Today, dual visions compete in your soul; two futures present themselves. This is a good day to see the inherent contrast of your life, your self, your needs and your aspirations.

Base to Heart, by Carey

Emotional tension can be strong today as your heart tries to reconcile your sense of the ubiquitous duality of life.

The underworld door has opened and the world has two visions – one is dystopian, the other is egalitarian abundance. Within this polarity lies creativity from the friction, but the good should win out over all.

Composite created by Carey

Day 2 in every timewave is about polarity and also about relationship. The contrast of opposites helps us differentiate and gain great clarity about the whole, leading to a more conscious unity.

Hold the dual forces within you, knowing that this tension is part of the creative process.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate today, first posted on 2 Eagle of 25 Feb 2011:]
As often is the case, when doing my early morning qi gong practice, birds of prey were flying overhead and one came very close this morning – I felt the resonance in my movements with the kite.

Today is a good day to see your energy externalised in the shape of a separate ‘thing’ or person and to feel the connective thread between yourself and the manifest object or life form you have drawn towards you.

1 Jaguar

[Friday 29 October 2021]

The Jaguar (Ix) Timewave starts today.

Spirits of the Forest, by LjL:
'The forest is a living spirit; everything is alive.'

13 days in which you can experience the enchanting nature of reality. Jaguar consciousness pulls you into the evocative environment, the captivating and seductive magical thread that runs throughout existence.

Reality is enchanting and the world of rationality is interesting – but the mind-dominated reality of our society is a limited and watered-down version of existence.

Nougat as Shaman Jaguar

The Jaguar Timewave brings you into the experience of how everything is alive; this is vitalising and electric. Life is visceral and this gives you the opportunity to cut through outworn defences and to feel connected.

13 days of Catlike instinctive connection begins today; a chance to be responsive to the energy of the Earth and to your immediate environment. The energy is more feminine than masculine during this timewave.

Wallpaper image found on google

The Maya consider the Jaguar to be the Shaman. Instinctive intelligence is body-based telepathic connection – images and thoughts of a telepathic nature arise from the result of visceral connection to the electroplasmic currents that surround you.

Today gives you access to your instinctive sovereign power – the courage to be who you are without apology and alert to the fact that everything you need right now is available right now.

Feel the way the energy of the Sacred Mayan Calendar shifts from one cosmic coordinate to another, teaching you how to shift your assemblage point, as in Toltec Shamanism.

Expansive Light 

Free the mind from the dictates of necessity and free the soul.

Frogs in Space by Laurence James Lucas
'The morphogenic fields of life
extend out into infinity.' LjL

Today the mind might feel scattered; this is veiling the freedom inherent within the day. A good day to construct complex patterns of knowledge, or to acknowledge that a higher level of complexity will emerge after this day.

Image from here

The higher mind feels free to roam in all directions and to observe the abstract. Welcome bizarre thoughts as they push the boundaries of your consciousness deep within the Earth, way out into Space and beyond the limits of the normal Time restraints.

Image from here

Explore Atlantis, the Akashic records or just enjoy a sense of vitalised intuition.

Today, energy is in a heightened state of flux; it has a chaotic element which can lead to a new level of organisation.

The structures and patterns of life are re-organising themselves.

Stay connected to the benevolent intent of the life force that oversees all disruption.

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

[Wednesday 27 October 2021]

A day of understanding that is an open-ended understanding, rather than being conclusive. Enjoy the journey of insights as the adventure unfolds.

Queen Bee, by LjL

The 12th day of every timewave gives us a clear sense of the message of the whole timewave. Crocodile Timewave has a basic theme of nurturing, birthing and female wisdom.

The Grass Daykeeper, also known as Human in the New Age system, and Good Road by the indigenous Maya, refers to the abundance of the human community and the universal quality of life’s journey.

Everyone is on an adventure, the enjoyment of which is dependent upon retaining an openness to life and recognising the possibilities of new adventures around the next bend. What stops this adventure is when the mind becomes fixed and absolute about life – our own life or the nature of life.

Today, embrace the uncertainty of these times, as well as the edge of uncertainty about knowledge, and you will be in resonance with the path of humanity.

Living with an edge of uncertainty does not mean we know nothing. It is easy in today’s overwhelming information environment to throw our arms in the air and announce that all truth is equal and therefore nothing can be embraced. This is a cop out.

You have learned much from your life experience and this needs to be honoured. So walk towards the horizon of uncertainty with confidence in what is true for you.

Now open your heart to life before you. 

Today, you are an empty vessel on an adventure, willing to receive the nourishment that life is always offering you.

'Which good road should we choose today?'
LjL in Whitstable, 2008 

11 Monkey

[Tuesday 26 October 2021]

Today is a day to loosen up. Trickery and cosmic humour force you to play, whether you want to or not. See the funny side. Be lateral. Today is a strange mix that offers a chance for fresh inspiration, if you can let go of the mind’s obsessive need for control.

Cosmic Interface, by LjL

Today you are being asked to create some space for more expression, more emotional elasticity. It is less about conclusions and solutions, more about spontaneity and laughter – perhaps a little twisted, quirky or delightfully perverse.

The texture of today – the energy of 11 Monkey – invites you to unusually nurture your soul, for the soul needs to be elastic if it is to flourish.

Monkey frees up the emotional body today in the 260-day count. Allow yourself to be more imaginative about the world we live in and the nature of time and space.

The 260-day Tzolkin (the Mayan Sacred Calendar) is the calendrical calibration of the soul’s cosmic nature as it interfaces with our density – which is to also to say that the Tzolkin is the key to understanding the galactic interface with Earth and this is the ‘secret’ of the 2012 era.*

Although we can all see the sociological and environmental effects of the 2012 phenomenon, the essence of 2012 is a re-calibration of the Earth with the Galaxy, creating an evolutionary imperative to raise consciousness in the decades after 2012 itself.

Starry Night,
by Vincent Van Gogh, 1889

One of the more obvious effects is an alteration to the temporal substance – we seem to have less time in a day. The consensual timeframe that we experience at present is losing energy and a less dense level of experience/consciousness with a larger timeframe is being empowered.

Those who have their self-interest heavily invested in the outgoing density are attempting to close the doors, to keep us locked into the economic theatre and into that density. But if enough people shift their focus out of the mainstream economic and political game, then the old theatre will dissolve to reveal a more abundant and expansive terrain.

on Lamma

Of course that is easier said than done, but one way or another, a new focus and energy attention will emerge. Our role is to shift our attention and our energy into alignment with the evolutionary imperative.

Find the role-player warrior within, the part of yourself that is strong enough to play the game with a sense of mission and humour.

10 Dog

[Monday 25 October 2021]

10 Dog in the Crocodile Timewave manifests as our emotional needs being fully apparent. Today you can see the manifest state of your emotional body and really feel what it is you really need.

Friends, by Laurence James Lucas
'Different species emerge from the
same bedrock of life.' LjL

 
The essential and general needs for us all can be stated simply as happiness and an avoidance of suffering.

These are mostly found through relating to others, whilst having an attitude of gratitude about what is good in our experience right now.

Image found on google

Today is a day of communal emotive connection, or a good day to be peaceful and to feel the truth of what you need.

It can also be a good day to have a party.

Ask yourself what it is you truly and honestly actually need for yourself. Need rather than want.

The answer will include people.

9 Water (Moon)

[Sunday 24 October 2021]

A good day for conscious cleansing of the soul. A poignant day.

Gratitude to André Eichman
for this photo

Today is a day of transcendent awakening and soulful reminiscences; a day to give thanks and blessings, and to make offerings.

If deep and possibly disturbing feelings emerge today, change the muddy waters by transcending the disturbance and by moving into stillness, through feeling that which is good in your life, right now, as it is.

You can regain the peace in your soul and the balance in your psyche quite quickly today by tuning into gratitude.

What are you grateful for?

The story we have of ourselves underpins our reality experience; it contextualises the physical world, technology and the total social arena.

We are not immune to the total environment – and that situation then seeps into our lives in unique, localised and personal ways. Our own small changes and our intimate struggles mirror the profound change of a species transition.

Image from here

So we have to come back to the moment and be in our own situation with a heightened sense of gratitude, patience and humility for our life as it stands.

Today is a day to reclaim lost feelings and lost soul.

Give thanks for your life.

[Note added by Laurence on 9 Water of 13 February 2016, but still entirely relevant, and very pertinent, today:]
Pluto in Capricorn (2007–2023, approximately) is all about deep, profound and total change – the evolution of our whole culture. Transformation on this scale requires a journey to the depth of the unconscious and the radical revision of human origins, our concept of evolution and our concept of the cosmos – in other words, a whole new meta-myth for the human species. This will be a slow transformation, but it is an inevitable evolutionary transformation nonetheless.

8 Rabbit (Star)

[Saturday 23 October 2021]

A day of organised harmony, as the unlimited abundance of Life flows into a simple manifestation. The macrocosm crystallises in the microcosm. The profound funnels into the commonplace. Recognise divinity and then make light of your day. Commit to beauty.

Sussex Downs, by LjL

Acknowledge your prosaic truth, then let go of the preciousness and commit to the surface; make the light of your life be in your life. Today you can experience surprising enjoyment and release from hard work – make it easy, for god’s sake.

Composite created by Carey

Do what you know you have to do, with a light heart, and today you will find that the energy makes light of your tasks.

Being an 8 Day, today is also a commitment to your realisations from the last timewave (the Rabbit Timewave).

All that Glitters Is Not Gold
In this era, there is an important element to Rabbit that we need to consider. The light, beautiful, shiny, novel and exciting – that is, all that intoxicates – is not always good.

In particular, we now have a burgeoning awareness of the dark and manipulative spiritual energies that masquerade as light. Many spiritual organisations, good-news whistleblowers and channellings are sourcing dark energies that create interference with spiritual sovereignty. We need to be careful not to give our essential spiritual power away to mass sentiment–led opiates.

All that Glitters, by Iain McCaig
Image found on google

The solution is relatively simple. Connect to your own higher self or divinity in your practices; do not be afraid to think for yourself; and honour your deep intuitive responses to information. Even if it is not bad information as such, we have to ask if it is appropriate to our path.

Mass sentiment memes and movements in particular are subject to the attention of spiritual engineering. Do not emotionally invest heavily in anything that is hugely popular and intoxicating – it is not appropriate in this evolutionary transition period.

Call upon and connect to your higher self and then proceed from there. It is not difficult.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 8 Rabbit:]
The evolutionary imperative in our world is increasing the flow of energy and dissolving old forms or constructs noticeably faster. In this environment, it becomes harder to hold onto that which we consider solid. We start to wonder, what is tangible? Is anything tangible? Is anything real? Can we rely on anything?

Thank you to André Eichman

Yes, indeed, we can rely on life much more. In fact, we have to rely on life more, for we have no choice but to operate on a deeper level of faith. The forms and constructs we operate with and in are becoming more subtle. In becoming more subtle, they are in fact becoming more truly real.

The old solidities of absolutism, common sense surety, confidence in rationalities or even confidence in blissful ideology dissolve at a faster rate in the accelerated flow of consciousness.

Spiral of Empowerment, by Carey

And so the heart has to open.

Each gradient of velocity – the graduations of faster-flowing consciousness – are increasing the levels of ‘complexity consciousness’, where we have progressively more time, for we are incrementally, a little bit at a time, entering a greater dimension of eternity.

Love never dies.

7 Deer (Hand, Grasp)

[Friday 22 October 2021]

On one hand, you need to let go; on the other hand, you need to hold on (control everything). Today you are able – or challenged – to find the mesh that is in the middle.

Urban Angels, by LjL: 'Adaptive intelligence; each
environment has its own spirits shaped in its own image.'

Come into resonance with the harmonics of the day. Tune into different frequencies by being flexible and also strong enough to adapt to the wave of the day.

The overall energy of today requires finesse to tune into the subtle ebbs and flows – listen to the melody, but don’t drift away.

The harmonics of life; image from here

Recognise and utilise the intuitive and feeling-based tools you have, for today is the perfect day to heighten your subtle senses, as well as for being responsive to using the tools for appropriate action.

A good day to be conscious, both internally and externally.

Composite created by Carey
using images found on google

To be conscious in this way means to be willing and able; to be responsive and adaptive; and to adjust to the energies of the moment. This is the life skill of utilising surrender and will, acceptance and action, receiving and intention.

The importance of an intuitive, feeling-based focus has to be balanced with some creative direction.
