11 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Tuesday 27 July 2021]

A Door Opens into the Light

Today, the form cracks open to reveal the light. Following the light through the crack, a whole new universe appears before us, previously invisible but always present.

The world is made of light. We can use the broad-brush truth of the spectrum of light to describe reality.

The chakras correspond to the seven colours of light as a metaphor for frequency. Crown is White and Violet, Brow is Indigo, Throat is Blue, Heart is Green, Solar Plexus is Yellow, Spleen is Orange, Root is Red.

Flipchart by LjL

In my experience, I have found that generally speaking we are operating through two (or sometimes three) chakras at a time. At each stage of development of consciousness,* we have two dominant chakras open. That’s not to say we cannot have three or more open, but two dominate at any one time.

The manifest world is comprised of a different recipe of light for each form. Each form – be that rock, tree, car or human – is the ‘solidified’ form of a unique kaleidoscopic mix.

11 Flower (also known as Sun or Lord) is a day where reality opens to allow us to read the frequency mix.

Our emotions are an expression of the flow of received light filtering through us, which then becomes our transmission of light. Our emotions are especially felt in the abdomen and heart, and yet they are as light all around us. We live in our emotions and see through the filter of our emotions.

The light of the aura is on a finer frequency than the light we can see with our normal vision.

We have our being and move around in the concentrated light near our body, but that radiates out into the whole cosmos as a whisper. In effect, we are also walking around in the collective light transmissions of human society.

We particularly pick up on those transmissions that resonate with ours. If we are in a group of people surrounded by incongruous light transmissions, our body of light is either not in resonance – which then creates the feeling of loneliness – or we do receive that light and feel disturbed.

Unless, of course, we can transcend the base frequencies and find a more subtle resonance with people on a higher level, which invariably means operating through the Heart more than through the Spleen or Solar Plexus.

Remember: All types of consciousness are substances.

10 Storm

[Monday 26 July 2021]

A day where you can experience the present manifestation of your emotional body – the whole tapestry of emotive scripts, wants, needs and emotional patterns.

If you can connect in a tangible way to your emotional totality, you can experience an unexpectedly refreshing, new or liberated feeling.

Storm is refreshingly chaotic; it disrupts to liberate. Day 10 in each timewave is the sense of something tangible. Today is a day that feels different – your emotional body twists in new directions and it feels strange but good as you have unusual connections.

So allow a new behaviour to happen. Go with the unexpected and see it as a liberating moment with potentially longer-lasting effects.

Today you can connect to your inner sanctum of peace, regardless of the flux state of the world (and of any external weather storms).

Today find the peace within yourself.

9 Obsidian (Mirror, Flint)

[Sunday 25 July 2021]

A good day to see the shadow and to illuminate the multidimensional mechanisms of nature that condition our moods and feelings. See the causes of those emotions.

Created by LjL

Today is a good day to wake up to the way our present emotional space – our total energy resonance anchored in our feelings – generates the story we are living.

The story in which we are living is a continuum that stretches from the ancient past to the far-off future. Our total energy frequency creates a timeline. Change your feelings on the deepest level and change the past – literally – and, therefore, change the future.

The Cyclical Nature of Time
Image from here

Aspects from your past return to your awareness today as you see the mirror effect of the cyclical nature of time.

A cycle of reflection ends today as you have a realisation of how your past reflects this moment and how your future will have a resonance with your past.

Waking up to the nature of time and the stories we create with others:
We live in the present with our companions and together we create our past in each moment and, therefore, also our future, which springs from our interpretation of the past.

Day 9 in each timewave is the day we wake up beyond linear time. 9 is a Master Number in Mayan cosmology and refers to the Nine Lords of Time (also called the Nine Lords of the Night).

This era points us towards the past...
The present transition speaks to us of the future, but in the same breath directs our attention to the ancient past.

The 2012 ‘end-date’ (derived from the Mayan Long Count Calendar) was the end of one Galactic spin of 25,600 to 25,920 years. The world was subliminally primed to recognise large cycles of time and to remember that the larger context for our reality is truly cosmic.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 9 Obsidian:]

Towards the Planetary Awakening 

The conclusive message of my lifetime’s research is that the human species is in the midst of manifesting a planetary consciousness.

We live in an increasing level of background stress, psychological and psychic pressure or urgency. There is an evolutionary imperative to reach and step into the planetary landscape of the mind.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin foresaw an acceleration of complexity towards an Omega Point. In a very similar fashion, Terence McKenna spoke of the acceleration of time, complexity and novelty to a Concrescence Point. From a purely materialistic point of view, Ray Kurzweil speaks of the ‘singularity’ and the convergence of all technology, implicating physical longevity and artificial intelligence. José Argüelles was a prophet of the shift to a post-technological society, where time is art. Jean Gebser observed human cultural and individual evolution awakening to an integration of all that went before and a subsequent trans-temporal state of consciousness.

‘You are not a human being in search of a spiritual experience.
You are a spiritual being immersed in a human experience.’
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin

All of these well-known pioneers are but the tip of the iceberg of a host of visionaries who in essence perceive the same general truth.

Barbara Hand Clow expresses a belief that we are moving to a nine-dimensional experience of reality. She finds parallels with Carl Calleman’s theory of the Nine Mayan Underworlds, which is a fractal view of evolutionary timescales.

The Nine Underworlds refer to nine levels of consciousness that exist within us. The multidimensional experience is something we already have and is more ordinarily explained by developmental psychology.

What I am suggesting is that every person already lives multidimensional lives – it’s just not recognised as such. The acceleration is the awareness of the totality of Earth’s dimensionality that is expressed through human psychological experience.

The essential truth is not explained merely by the exponential doubling of information, technological innovation or the increasing environmental crisis. It is, rather, the pressure to awaken to the planetary level of consciousness – not the global physical reality, but beyond that to the planetary field we live within.

Whether it’s the outrageous economic situation, or the fragile geopolitical world, the dynamic is pressing towards the big picture.

When you integrate all of the different strands, the array of issues and personal crises, they integrate on the level of planetary consciousness and the future planetary civilisation that is product of that consciousness.

Acceleration of Time

We are experiencing an intoxicating and bewildering acceleration to a new fundamental reality. The planetary stage of development is where all the contents of the different paradigms of science, spirituality and culture are experienced as contexts. We step beyond the acceleration into the ever-present toroidal flow of each moment, both experiencing the speed and chaotic relationships within each of the theatres that make up our world, and being existent in the stillness of the central channel.

Within each moment, we are simultaneously feeling the dense tapestry of emotion and yet are free from the full immersion that is experienced by those whose reality wholly belongs to just one religion or one paradigm – be that Catholicism, scientism, new-ageism, conspiracy-ism, shamanism or any other kind of singular truth mindset.

Modern shamanism is perhaps a more inclusive and malleable paradigm that comes closest to this new consciousness, one which en-souls complexity science within the immanence – the immanence of consciousness, the inherent totality of Earth.

Loneliness
Uncredited image found on google

The greatest challenge to this level of consciousness in its early stage of its emergence is loneliness. The conundrum is that once your connection to the whole planet grows more visceral, the comfort of membership you once had with moral certainty, materialistic science, or idealistic mindsets erodes. The ego still exits as an arising artefact that comes and goes in the flow of realities, as the freedom of the void and the exquisite aliveness and intimacy of existence simultaneously call upon you. The conundrum is the ever-present death and then recapitulation of the ego-self that is required for the liberation of consciousness on this level.

The mind becomes more lucid, and yet is felt as more restrictive, as complex concepts appear annoyingly easily and, by doing so, pull us from the simplicity we yearn to attach to. The challenge is nonattachment whilst engaging in the flow of unending death and rebirth.

The planetary level is not the same as the transcendental state of stillness of the ancient traditions, but is a more radical, more human experience of living within and being the dynamic movement of life.

8 Earthmover

[Saturday 24 July 2021. FULL MOON 02:37 UTC, 03:36 BST (10:37 HK time)]

Change Coming into Being 

Once again, take a breath and step into the space of courage. Commit to the positive change that is wanting to come through. As someone once said, ‘What you want, wants you.’

Composite created by Carey

Where is the evolutionary opportunity? Step up to it with faith.

Honour your emotional state, acknowledge how you feel, then search for the good.

Reinforce that which is good and what is seeking to establish itself in your life. Affirm your growth. Life is forever changing; affirm the change taking place in yourself. Identify the recent positive changes that are happening to you or within you – even if you feel that you are changing for the worse – because the truth is that there is always an element of positive growth taking place.

If you follow the 260-day pulse, you will start to notice certain mathematical patterns, such as Day 8 of each timewave being ruled by the same Daykeeper as the first day of the previous timewave. Thus, today being 8 Earthmover, we are reminded that the last 13-day period (a ‘timewave’) was the Earthmover Timewave.

Image found on Pinterest

Being an 8 Day, today is a day of committing your energy – or, we could say, incrementally committing more of your energy – to that which emerged during the previous timewave. The nature of change that surfaced during the Earthmover Timewave – which would have revealed an inherent evolutionary facet of your life message – is now showing itself again. You are being called to synchronise and integrate with it.

Image found on google

We get what we ask for. That is not always such an easy ride, because we are also aware of the infinite potentials that lie beyond this choice we have made... but it is worthwhile, enriching and deeply rewarding to see it through.

Do not try too hard; just observe the day and remember to commit your energy to what is progressive when Life asks you to do so.

Synergise (ha! ha! There you go, a nice corporate word!) your potentials within your present emotional reality.

7 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

[Friday 23 July 2021]

Be Still and Listen

That is your wisdom talking to you.

7 Vulture (also known as Warrior, Owl or Turkey) is a great day to free yourself from the shackles of the mind; a strong, silent kind of day as you go about your business with simplicity.

Be still and come into resonance with your true self. Be like the Owl and the Vulture – patient and resilient.

If you are feeling overwhelmed by demands from the world, hold your energy, for within the maelstrom of being pulled by other people or deadlines, a magical solution and innovative opportunity can arise – if you just hold still.

Heartfelt thanks to
Robert Burton

Allow wisdom to shine through by dispelling the darkness of confusion through your resolve.

7 Vulture is a day of truth. Your truth can harmonise with others, without it being exactly the same truth. Today is a great day to be in your truth and to resonate with others.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 7 Vulture:]

Remember that the keynotes of the Mayan Sacred Calendar days describe a particular frequency within the day; they are not the representation of all the energies you live within.

The seven days of the week set a basic underlying pattern for society. Then we also have to consider the Moon and its position as it transits your astrological template, which heavily flavours your emotional ebb and flow. And then there are also all the other planets…

However, if you follow the 260-day pulse of the Mayan Sacred Calendar consistently, this pulse gets louder.

Why would you do that? Because you are the sort of person looking to become conscious of the subtle and the profound.

Note from Carey: Laurence spent a lot of his life writing about all sorts of things that interested him and which he wanted to explore. He also kept a daily personal journal, using pen and paper, and believed strongly in the positive power of writing things down. Here is a message posted by Laurence on 7 Vulture of 25 February 2015:

'In my ongoing work with clients, particularly those who do a series of sessions with me, including shamanic work, I will always ask my clients to write stuff down as part of the process. Here is why: 'How Personal Writing Can Positively Affect Mental Health'.

Today affords you the opportunity to harmonise your overall sense of reality with your emotional needs; a blend of the earthly and the spiritual.

What’s more, the perceptions you have today can fit nicely with the shifting perceptions of those around you.

Have a smooth relaxed flight, see all around you and zoom in on the appropriate tasks as they surface, one after another...

Post-2012 and Planetary Consciousness

Eagle gives us access to the planetary consciousness, which is a level of development on our horizon. Once a sufficient number of people develop planetary consciousness, this will give rise to a planetary civilisation.

Consciousness flipchart by LjL

The developmental level for individual human consciousness – and for society as a whole – of a globalised culture is the precursor to planetary consciousness.

Globalisation – which includes global economics and politics – is rapidly emerging and will reach a certain critical juncture over the next 5 to 15 years with the full coverage of the internet. Internet access is presently available for 4.66 billion of Earth’s 7.88 billion humans (with 5.11 billion of us being 'unique mobile users'). With the next level of mobile technology, this will dramatically increase – along with internet sensors, which are now appearing in public places, on buildings, on street corners and the like. This is the beginning of the all-seeing Matrix and the integrated global linkup. Internet sensors will most likely far exceed humans, in terms of the number of internet portals.

Connected World

To this we need to factor in the following realities that are occurring today and which are barely reported in the mainstream media:

• The troublesome innovations in genetic sciences, where all manner of genetic mutation are being produced, including human/animal hybridisation;
• The potential convergence of technology, such as computerisation and genetic manipulation, leading to artificial life forms, cyborgs and robots, which can act as hosts to other-dimensional beings;
• The large number of extraterrestrial species that are moving in and out of our atmosphere and yet are also resident on Earth, in underground bases and even walking amongst us;
• Advanced reverse engineering of alien technology by semi-secret groups or special interest groups, which has been carried out since the 1940s;
• Extraterrestrial agreements with governments and special interest groups;
• Pollution and environmental instability, with increased space weather as the dominant factor in the environmental situation; and,
• A groundswell of awakening in the alternative world that the truth of history, evolution and science is extraordinarily different from that which is being artificially perpetuated within our mainstream education and informational environment, which is decades behind cutting-edge research and evidence.

We are accelerating towards what I call the Omnidirectional Gate, which is a portal of choice regarding our reality. Planetary consciousness is the awareness that we are not living on an enclosed globe of human society, but that we live within the Earth’s consciousness field and that, as co-creators of the Earth, we are part of a complex living system. Furthermore, this living system is an open system; Earth exists within the cosmic plasma ocean.

Planetary civilisation is the culmination of one order of evolution and the start of the next order of evolution. A big part of my work is showing how this level of development is a natural emergence of individual psychological development and a natural artefact of a highly populated planet. I also explore the basic structure of such a society.

This issue will be most pressing as we move further into the 2020s….

This, and the two images above, represent Laurence's conception of the Holosphere – his holographic understanding of the solar system – which contains within it the Enchantments of Life model, which in turn reveals the structure of the individual human psyche and its symbiotic relationship with cultural development. Through an understanding of the orbital realms, the entire solar system can be read as a code for the whole of human evolution, history and cultural expression.

Today is a day when you:

In the Land of the Crow, by LjL
'I have a strong shamanic connection to
these tricky, humorous messengers.' LjL

1. Walk into and feel at home in the emotional jungle; instinctive and wild, free, belonging to no-one, yet never fully alone.

2. Feel a slight disconnection and alienation that never settles, as life is always encroaching.

3. Instinctively feel connected and part of all reality, loving the universal matrix that you are prowling in, recognising it as a gameplayer reality.

4. Experience a dynamic alertness to life all around you, as you are conscious of the immediacy. Things lurk in the shadows all around us, yet we are protected by our sovereign power and instinct – visualise the magnificence of the black panther.

Jaguar is the emotional energy of anticipation – emotive alertness – that arises from your centre in the instant before you relate to anyone or anything. Your emotional centre is a bubbling feeling, full of mystery and movement, instinctive and responsive to other living creatures.

From your centre, you can connect to the four directions of East, South, West and North, as well as Up and Down.

Talking with Crows 

I could not sleep last night after 2.30am due to this waning quarter moon, which was aspecting my natal Mars. Eventually I got up at 4am, sat on the roof swatting mosquitoes and enjoying the gradual awakening of the day. I got out to my special wild garden by about 5.45am, feeling tired – no way I was going to do a full ceremony. But, as I often forget, the best things happen without ceremony as such. I just did some processing and simple energy exercises and thought, ‘Well, I will wait until 7am, then go home.’ I was simply enjoying the early morning heat and chorus.

At 7am exactly, my friends the Crows turned up. They live in the hood, but like to stay hidden except for special occasions. There was a small group of them very close, making a hell of a racket. So I talked to them and they talked back, of course.

One thing I was wondering was how many of them were there – three or four, perhaps. At that point they flew as one and revealed their number. Five... of course, 5 crows on 5 Jaguar.

The rest of the conversation is between me and the crows.

4 Reed (Skywalker)

[Tuesday 20 July 2021]

4 Reed (also known as Skywalker) offers you the opportunity to see all sides of your relationships, your emotional state or your basic needs from a higher space.

Uncredited image found on google

A day where you can detach from your emotional involvements to see them more clearly. Meta-programme your emotional body.

The challenge today is to not be too fixed about your ideas and opinions. See your emotional script and then set a small intention based on where it is you would like to be. 

Emotional body;

Be conscious of any issues you have at the moment, but, rather than fuelling the problems and issues, be true to the higher ideas you have about who you are, your life, life itself and human nature.

Accept and understand, yet rise above the emotions.
