9 Water (Moon)

[Thursday 5 September 2019]

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

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.

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 relevant 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)

[Wednesday 4 September 2019]

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.

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.

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.

Thank you to André Eichman

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.

Spiral of Empowerment, by Carey

[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?

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.

Image found on Google

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.

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)

[Tuesday 3 September 2019]

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.

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

Composite created by Carey

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

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.

6 Skull

[Monday 2 September 2019]

A day of mini chapters, with clean beginnings and endings to different tasks.

Allow yourself to cut off from small attachments that are clogging your life. Cut back to the bone where necessary and be ready to refresh your day.

The Quest, by LjL

Today offers you multiple opportunities to get things done and to rest in between those activities.

The energy of the day gives you the chance to be present and enclosed in your experience, rather than being pulled into the future.

A good day to have strong, clear boundaries and to be a conscious agent for benevolent transformation. Be firm and clear.

And...

An interesting artefact for the emergence of planetary consciousness:

Proposed Flag of the Earth
by Oskar Pernefeldt

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 6 Skull:]
Spirituality Is Political in the 2012 Era
Occupy your centre and yet be prepared to ‘Occupy Wall Street’.

The challenge in this age is to find stillness, and yet be responsive and attentive to the world ‘out there’. The wall of thought between your inner and outer world is dissolving.

To be committed to peace requires finding peace inside, and yet there is an equal need to say to the illegitimate war machine, the official public relations war rhetoric and imperial agenda: 'NOT IN MY NAME!'

Image from here

To meditate and then to indiscriminately read the newspaper or absorb the mainstream news perspective (engineering your consent to invasion and oppression) is to remain unconscious.

So today, do remember to define your strong, clear boundaries; be the conscious agent for benevolent transformation.

5 Serpent

[Sunday 1 September 2019]

Today you can connect to the life force, the Serpent energy that is at the centre of ascending and descending consciousness.

Reaching Up, by LjL

The Serpent energy is the desire for material pleasure, and yet also the desire to rise above it and to experience the bliss of the soul, as well as a whole host of juxtapositions in between carnal lasciviousness and transcendental union.

Be centred today and feel the polarity impulses of your life force.

The Temptation and Fall of Eve,
by William Blake, 1808

Make an extra effort today to centre yourself in the body; connect to the life force within you and allow its vitality to direct you.

Simply connect to your personal power today, for this is the power you already have to survive and flourish. Acknowledge it and own it – there is no need to give it away.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 5 Serpent:]
The 2012 Era and the Enduring Reality
The world is becoming increasingly more mutable. Reality is in a state of flux and the contracts are being renegotiated. The 2012 effect* is exerting a pressure upon us to transform –  this requires a prerequisite of releasing the old.

This nexus of mutability that we are in the midst of is the confluence of futuristic Galactic energies and the archaic, with the modern surface of materialism.

The Serpent reminds us of the soul’s fall into density and the kundalini force of survival, growth and evolution. We grow through mastering skills at our present level of experience, whilst periodically finding that we then have to let go of our present level of experience, in order to awaken to a higher level of complexity (see the Enchantments of Life and subpages on our portal website).

Uncredited image found on Pinterest

As we fundamentally change to a new psychology and a new experiential stage (a new level of complexity as described by the Enchantments), we have new skills to master.

Yet, throughout all of this change, we feel a sense of the Enduring Self. The more we change externally in linear time (evolution), the more we experience involution – the soul’s descension from beyond linear time into engagement with this timeframe.

The soul was there before you were born and, when you feel back into your life, you will feel the underlying consistency of who you are, despite the changes and adventures of your life.

In this 2012 era and the decades that follow, we are being asked to change our relationship with time. We are being asked to become conscious of the ascending and descending flows of consciousness.

This is an old LjL flipchart of the Enchantment levels,
before he identified two further levels of consciousness:
Ceres and Jupiter (between Mars and Saturn, see more here).
Nevertheless, this remains a useful graphic to help
understand the evolution of human consciousness.

Because of this awakening of a larger timeframe, the archaic and the futuristic are becoming increasingly connected.

The soul is not confined to the linear timeframe – that is clock time and historical. Rather, the soul is a reflection of the timeless essence of the monadic spirit and the soul expands its awareness gradually over many lifetimes.

The 260-day count that we are following in this blog allows you to connect to this larger timeframe, where time has a fractal quality.

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.

Image found on Google

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.

Portals Opening

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.

Image by Adrian Sommeling,

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.

Uncredited photo found on Google

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.

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.

Saturn and Uranus Enchantments,

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.

Image and quote from here

[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.
Séance 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.
