6 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

[Monday 28 February 2022]

Flowing strength, clear harmonics, relaxed and moving with the ebb and flow...

To be a Daykeeper means to follow the rhythm of the 260-day calendar each and every day. Slowly, patiently, receive the pulse of the vast reality beyond the mundane realm of worldly matters.

The pulse resonates at the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere where our planet is looking out into the depths of the Cosmic Ocean. Simultaneously, this pulsation is immanent within all material concerns.

Today is a day of receptive, responsive action and surrender, with an easy strength of mind. Assume a relaxed stance and be ready to respond with nobility and creativity.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 6 Vulture:]
As consciousness expands, so too does our embrace of more time and more space. As we evolve, the complexity of time and space also increases, since we are able to hold a greater variety of time frames at once. This increasing embrace also includes connection to larger and more complex scales of community.

5 Eagle

[Sunday 27 February 2022]

A great day to see yourself in the centre of your world. See the environment all around you, above you and below you.

The difference between being isolated and dislocated from all that circles you, and being connected and engaged with your world is whether the heart is open.

Open Heart by Carey

Keeping the heart open requires an enormous effort and diligence in the world today, for we also have to be discerning about what and who we open up to. Utilise the clarity, compassion and precision of Eagle to locate the most appropriate place in your world today and then apply your efforts there.

A day of empowerment. Speak from your vision, because the vision you have today is nicely centred and you are able to recognise the joy of material reality whilst holding the wisdom you have accrued.

Empower yourself with Eagle energy today and you will attract more abundance into your life – if not today, then soon.

The clarity you have today needs to be appreciated and recognised for its magnetic ability.

[Saturday 26 February 2022]

A good day to feel grounded within the matrix of the living spirits of the Shamanic Earth. Allow the energy and vibrancy of the natural forces to lead you.

Take time to stop and chill

The creative process is a lateral process; the foundation of its energy is derived from the Mystery and the Muses.

The Shamanic World is fully inhabited by spirits, all vying to contribute to the open channel of your psyche as you endeavour to express the moment and your state of being, whether by painting, writing, dancing or solving problems.

Today, stay relaxed so as to be alert to the relevant moments when you can achieve something. Do not try to work hard all day on something. Do not labour your projects.

Today you can create some structure in your work fairly spontaneously, but do not overrun. Know when to stop and just chill.

Accept what is and recognise the ongoing dramas, struggles and duality of life that you encounter as part of the terrain and experience. It is what it is.

3 Reed (Skywalker)

[Friday 25 February 2022]

A day of fresh ideas. Open yourself to the sky, send up a beam of light and receive inspiration. Open yourself to the descending guidance from higher intelligence that will be coming down into your expectant neural network.

Remember: 3 Days can be unsettled, but they do stimulate the movement of energy within the soul.

Within this disturbance, today is a great day for inspirational energy comprised of abstract ideas and complex big-picture patterns. The energy of 3 Reed (Skywalker) will be illuminating and will reveal the plethora of potentials and opportunities inherent within this Monkey Timewave.

Appreciate the fact that the nature of the day might make it hard for you to settle into one thing; accept the restlessness you feel as product of the higher or more exploratory calling you have.

Monkey is curious and inquisitive and the timewave energy sets the scene for new creative solutions to your tasks. Today, you can access the knowledge that comes from understanding cosmic forces and planetary movements. It might be a good day for astrological investigation!

A good day for exploring the pristine clarity of ideas unencumbered by emotions...

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

[Thursday 24 February 2022]

The challenges of our adventure on the Long Good Road of Life.

One of the many grassy forks in the road
in the hills behind our home
on Lamma Island

A fork in the road appears for you today, with a chance to open yourself to a bigger quest.

Today, you find yourself asking ‘What is the way ahead?’ There seems to be two polarised options. In some cases, this really does mean you are seeing a complete change of direction in your future. For most people, however, today just presents you with two choices that are very different in a specific area of your life linked to the issue of community.

Image found on google

Where do you belong and how can you serve, and therefore feel part of, humanity?

Be as an empty cup.

(chalice image found on google)

The wisdom of Grass (also known as Good Road or Human) is to remain open. Open your mind and allow the mind to be guided by energy and intuition. Grass is the sign of the ever-present abundance, which is found in the constant growth of nature and the totality of community. People provide your worldly abundance in the way that Nature provides the fundamental abundance for humanity.

Because this is in the Monkey Timewave, do not treat anything too seriously. Monkey says that life is art, even if the game appears tricky.

If you feel a sense of overwhelming confusion, then recognise that the solution will not come from analysis. Do not take the ego seriously; Grass is a humble plant.

Open yourself and recognise that you do not have a solution in your mind. Just accept and be conscious of the two paths ahead.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 2 Good Road:]
Humanity is choosing its future... every single human being’s contribution of perspective and consciousness counts! However, those who engage with the bigger picture shine more light in this direction...

I remind you that the energy this particular calendar describes is rooted in the Nagual. The Galactic energy that infuses the Earth is a dreaming energy, accessed by the shaman. By following the 260-day pulse, you are awakening your Nagual, your dream self. This requires the art of seduction, without too much mentality.

Carlos Castaneda: What Is a Nagual? 

‘The term Nagual has several definitions – one who is good in talking, shape shifter, witch and animal co-essence... Carlos Castaneda used the term Nagual in his books to depict a person who has the skills to guide people to new areas of awareness and alternate realities just as valid as ours.'

1 Monkey

[Wednesday 23 February 2022]

Today begins a new 13-day mini-cycle, namely the Monkey (Chuen) Timewave that offers the opportunity to use creativity and humour to bring new energy into your life; 13 days of monkeying around…

Photo by Carey

Today, the trickster energy is high. This is both fecund for deception but also – more importantly – for creative breakthroughs in awareness as you recognise how the whole of life is a theatre of absurdity, humour and extraordinary experience.

Weave some new threads into your life with playful, creative, inquisitive and, most of all, spontaneous acts. Let’s break out a little with the blessings of the trickster Monkey.

Image by Chris Herzfeld, from here

Work is play and play is work. Monkey has a tricky sense of humour and challenges us to adapt.

Structured plans will not stay on course, nor work out in a linear fashion with Monkey energy. That can be frustrating; however, Monkey will be offering us a more creative and fun way of performing tasks and solving problems.

Monkey is the Master Craftsman or Artisan, and this particular day, 1 Monkey, is revered by the Highland Maya. A playful attitude yields new wisdom in this timewave. Monkey teaches us that creative play is at the heart of the Divine. Allow novelty into your life and be inventive.

This is a love-life and laugh-permission day.

his good friend Scott, February 2008

Stay inquisitive during these 13 days and enjoy the mischievous energy. Serious problems require our engagement, mundane issues require our attention – but the Monkey will teach us that we can find novel, unusual and even what might at first appear strange ways or methods of dealing with life.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 1 Monkey:]
The Game of Life on Earth is so much bigger than we have been taught – there have been many civilisations on Earth over millions of years…

Monkey offers you the chance to feel the Great Cosmic Drama of Creation and to find a new space of freedom within yourself that transcends this present Enchantment.*

Pineal Gland,
by Sebmaestro on Deviantart

When we enter the implicit realm that can be accessed via the pineal gland/third eye, we encounter a fractal interface. The fast-moving fractal experience of psychedelic trips is a reality, a deeper level of existence, where the psyche is experienced at a faster rate. One thing turns into another into another, before arriving back at the start; then it loops again.

The self-perpetuating nature of our Enchantment is composed of conscious holographic substance. Get more into the flow of the ever-changing yet circulating experience... The Monkey Timewave allows us to access the fractal flow and to incite our craft, our art and our creative engagement with life.

After the Monkey Timewave comes the Lizard (or Seed) Timewave, when the intelligence and plan is revealed. After that comes the Earthmover Timewave, which brings us 13 days of evolutionary synchronisation.**

Follow the story that is unfolding in your life and connect to the effect of the cosmic influx. Be awake and feel into the energy that is unfolding...

Notes from Carey:
* To learn more about Laurence’s groundbreaking model of the evolution of human consciousness – the Enchantments of Life – please visit our portal website.

** The Earthmover Timewave was the timewave that saw us through the Maya Long Count Calendar ‘end-date’ of 21 December 2012, or 4 Ahau (Flower, Sun, Lord). The Long Count calendar measures the Earth’s relationship with the Galaxy and is based on a 26,000 tun cycle (one tun is 360 days), equating to a period of approximately 25,625 of our civil years. Thus, the Earthmover Timewave was the evolutionary synchronisation of the end of one 26,000 tun cycle and the start of another.

Connect to the 260-day rhythm of the Mayan Sacred Calendar (which is a fractal of the 26,000 tun Earth–Galaxy cycle) on a day-to-day basis, and you will tune your consciousness to the incoming high energy associated with the 2012 era [from 1986 to well into the 2020s] and the Earth changes we see all around us.

13 Dog

[Tuesday 22 February 2022]

The swirling reflections of all that you have seen in this timewave tumble through your psyche – a kaleidoscope of self-reflection.

Tiled reflection, graphic created by LjL

The Earth is in a state of flux, in case you had not noticed! This affords you the opportunity to develop a heightened emotional fluidity, adaptability and responsibility. Keep allowing the energy to flow through you.

Today, 13 Dog in the Obsidian Timewave, affords you the opportunity to ascend to a new level of emotional frequency.

Composite created by Carey,
using images found on google

As you accept that all you encounter reflects aspects of yourself through multiple dimensions and realms, you move into the space of belonging to more of reality.

The whole Cosmos is teeming with life to such a degree that it is mind-boggling. As life, you belong in life.

As emotions arise, you have a choice about what you do with those emotions. Your choices ripple throughout the multiverse and are reflected back to you as the world out there.

The Ouroboros, by Xaxa Calleja,
from here

Alternatively: A never-ending stream of unfulfilled needs, wants, inadequacies and unfavourable comparisons to other people can overload you today, as the feeling body goes into free fall. If you look for the root cause of your emotional problems, you will find another problem. Like an ouroboros, one thing leads to another and the last causal reason for any troubling feelings you have is then swallowed by the first definitive answer.

However, because 13 Dog also offers the opportunity to shift into the flow of collective energy, where you recognise that your emotional nature is simply a reflection of the human condition, you have access today to some salvation and freedom from your emotional challenges.

Release the dependency on desire; give up on your self-preoccupation and recognise the universal sufferings, joys and unions of all people. You belong to life as part of life. You are needed by life, in the way that life has shaped you.

The culmination of the Obsidian Timewave today reveals your human-ness and the universal existence of human needs. Your basic needs, relationship dynamics and behaviour are mirrored all around you. 13 Dog offers us the chance to go to another level of awareness.

In a celebratory and liberated state, enjoy the commonplace social spaces, the unconscious union of the crowd and the companionship you see all around you.

12 Water (Moon)

[Monday 21 February 2022]

Clear Water

Today is Day 12 of the Obsidian Timewave (also called Obsidian Mirror, or Flint), ruled by the Water (or Moon) Daykeeper.

Clear Water, composite created by Carey
(note the glyph for the Obsidian Daykeeper
in the centre of the image)

This timewave is all about facing the shadow and becoming conscious of the levels of reality. Obsidian is the cosmic mirror of truth that separates the wheat from the chaff and which clears the perceptional field. It often asks us to sacrifice that which is not working for us.

The glyph of the Obsidian Mirror (shown in the centre of the image above, as well as below) can be seen as the view looking down onto a Mayan stepped pyramid. The glyph shows us the divisions and boundaries between different realms and entities.

Glyph for the Obsidian
Daykeeper by LjL

Obsidian is the black volcanic stone that would appear to have no reflection, but which is a most powerful tool for scrying and seeing into the deeper dimensions. Obsidian shards are extremely sharp – surgically sharp in fact. The Obsidian energy can cut with precision through to the core, as well as cut out the shadow material for cleansing.

Created by Carey

Day 12 of each timewave is the day when it all makes sense, if you have been following and logging the energies thus far.

Moon or Water is the depth of the soul – true feeling, rather than emotion – and today you can recognise what it is that you can offer people and what it is that needs purifying in yourself.

Glyph for the Moon
Daykeeper by LjL

The cosmic principle of Water – be that emotion, feeling, imagination, astral-psychic plasma or the electromagnetic plasmic field of space – is the energy that permeates through all boundary walls.

The resonant vibrations through the fluid fields of existence create the mirror effect. What we see in front of us and around us reflects who we are, or what we are feeling, on the deepest level.

The clarity of the reflection can be a visceral and shocking realisation that cuts through our sentiments. However, stay with it if you are seeking to know thyself.

Today is a good day to understand and see some of your truest deepest feelings.

11 Rabbit (Star)

[Sunday 20 February 2022]

Doors within doors to be opened today.

Image found on google

11 Rabbit is a Stargate kind of day. Maybe it’s not ET contact of the fourth kind for you today, but you might feel the fertility and light that is infusing the day. Where does it come from? It is your monadic essence and it is in resonance and at one with beings throughout the universe.

Today is a doorway to spiritual abundance and/or what might feel like a collapse of the light or euphoria into the black hole. The reflection of the radiating light is the toroidal flow back into the centre. Rabbits surge out of their burrows and radiate in all directions, then they all disappear underground.

for one of the projects Laurence and I
were working on several years ago

Yesterday, being Day 10 of the Obsidian Timewave, manifested as a frozen moment, a manifest form of energy, which today (as ever on an 11 Day) dissolves… The control and structure of yesterday’s Grasp (aka Deer or Hand) gives way to diffuse and fertile light, which is flowing in toroidal form.

The challenge is how to integrate this radiant cosmic energy without getting scattered. The energy of today is beautiful and subtle, and yet out of resonance with limitation, containment or practical concerns.

Creativity and destruction are mirrors. The sense of impermanence of our highs is a clue to the dynamic nature of creation. The cycle of creativity includes the fallow moments, which then lead on to new inspiration.

Explosion and implosion in every moment…

A good day to give praise to and accept the blessings of life.

‘The holographic nature of reality is revealed in the understanding
that the basic unit of all life is a toroid.
It is a fractal reality, where the form can be found on every scale of creation.
The toroid is not static; it curves in on itself and twists into the centre
with an energy that is known as a torsion field.
The torsion field generates the spiral pattern of all growth,
as in the Fibonacci sequence.’

10 Deer (Hand, Grasp)

[Saturday 19 February 2022]

Today is all about holding on. What does that mean to you today?

What do you need to hold on to?

Composite created by Carey

Each moment has the potential to grip us; each period of our life is a manifestation of our multiplicity. Each moment offers us the chance to feel totally free and empty – and the idea of total freedom is transcendental. We are here to engage, but with some transcendence.

Quite often in our lives we are desiring and wanting – this is an existential fact of engaging with life, rather than an error. Most people, most of the time, want more – more freedom, sex, love, romance, excitement, adventure, freedom (again), money, self-expression, recognition, privacy, or at least some of those. This is not wrong, it is just an existential fact.

Created by Kookie Birjukov
for our Storyteller workshop
(January 2007)

Today, hold the moment lightly, knowing all is well and, yes, you really do want to live life more freely and yet more magnificently.

Wanting creates attachment, so we all have this paradox within us – wanting freedom and yet wanting more in life. The mind cannot handle the paradox, but somewhere in the heart and the psyche is the capability to create open structures or conduits; to create the space in which acceptance and vitality can flourish.

Cosmic Hands, image found on google

Are you gripped by Life? Are you gripped by the Divine Restlessness?

This is the Life Force – we cannot control it. So we might as well accept that we can be empty and happy in any day, yet during that same day feel an overwhelming sense of Divine Restlessness.

Image found on google

Today, hold on to something and yet allow your energy to flow through the centre.

A good day for controlling aspects of your life in a positive way.

Expanding awareness;
