7 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

[Saturday 9 April 2022]

Be Still and Listen

That is your wisdom talking to you.

LjL being still and listening,
as part of his daily practice.
Koh Samui, 2007

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.

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.

Thank you to Robert Burton

[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:

A Young Woman Wrting,
after Jan Sanders van Hemessen,
circa 1520

'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'.

6 Eagle

[Friday 8 April 2022]

Smooth, flowing, comfortable rhythmic changes of perception that allow you to organise your dreams and your visions.

Composite created by Carey

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.

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

Connected World

Globalisation – which includes global economics and politics – is rapidly emerging and will reach a certain critical juncture over the next approximately 5 to 7 years with the full coverage of the internet. Internet access is presently available for 4.95 billion of Earth’s 7.94 billion humans (that is 62.5% of us). 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.

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.

5 Jaguar

[Thursday 7 April 2022]

Today is a day when you:

Composite created by Carey using
free wallpaper image of five yawning jaguars,
found on google, and a background created by 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.

Image found on google

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)

[Wednesday 6 April 2022]

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.

Image found on Pinterest, saved from here

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.

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

[Tuesday 5 April 2022]

Today is about stepping forward onto the path and beginning the journey.

Shamanic Tree flipchart by LjL

On the Long Good Road of Life, we are guided by invisible friends from the Spirit World.

Walk with joy today as the energy moves out of yesterday’s polarity. If you feel stuck today, just do something – it is one step at time.

Being guided to step forward
on the path

A good day to talk with other people, maybe lots of people, without necessarily worrying about direction; just get energy moving.

Know that life itself is intelligent and will guide you.

Image found on google

The rational mind – the intellect – cannot ultimately guide you, but the mind is not to be negated. Use your mind, whilst knowing that you cannot reach an ultimate conclusion. Life cannot be fully worked out. However, mental effort enables us to ask better questions – which then supply new partial truths, which then lead on to even clearer questions.

So it is we move forward.

Step forward with an openness that values the mind as a tool, but not as the determiner of your reality, and you will be on the road that is your destiny.

'Jason's Tree'
In loving memory of our friend and excellent videographer, Jason Lo,
whose photo this is. He also departed these Earthly Realms far, far too early

This day reminds me of the three worlds of the shamanic universe and the multiple paths that emerge from the different paradigms of astrology, shamanism, developmental psychology and just about anything else.

The different pathways of learning and experience all start to converge after a period of time; all novelty-led explorations eventually lead us to integrate. The interconnections and essential truths will eventually reveal themselves, if you continue down the road.

Trust in the journey of life.

2 Monkey

[Monday 4 April 2022]

The challenge of the Dog Timewave, as 2 Monkey tells us, is how to hold two opposing views and beliefs; how to entertain the fact that differences between people and their needs and their perspectives is okay.

Photo by Carey

A good day to not take contrary viewpoints or feelings of those around you too seriously. It’s okay!

This includes realising there will always be emotional discrepancies within yourself, your truths and your actions.

Photo by Carey

The continual flow of your Divine Creativity and the machinations of the Monkey Mind can get in the way of the emotional needs in relationship, or can be a source of fun and spontaneity within relationship.

1 Dog

[Sunday 3 April 2022]

Today begins a new 13-day mini-cycle in the 260-day Mayan Sacred Calendar, made up of 20 such cycles. Today is 1 Dog (Oc).

Sambal, my beloved Guardian Dog,
photo with heartfelt thanks to
Amelia Roberts

The Dog Timewave begins today, with its themes of the emotional body, needs, emotional cravings, habits, patterning, love, companionship, boundaries and protections, feeling part of community, feeling connected to other beings and the question of belonging.

Poppet the hilldog,
who chose to belong in our pack

The Dog Timewave is all about those you love, those who share our journey; it also about giving and receiving guidance – and that includes to and from Spirit Guides.

Call upon your Spirit Guides to help you during this timewave.

Sambal,
whose spirit watches over me

The Dog is companionship in this world and the next; the Dog guides us over the threshold into the next life.

Who are your companions and where do you belong? A good time to be with others and to schedule in events with others, as you synchronise with the pack.

Companionship:
Chocolate and Nougat

With this new 13-day timewave of companionship, relationship and guidance, ask yourself if you need a guide. Or, are you are needed to be a guide? Be open to following a guide and/or to being a guide.

Ride the ebb and flow of emotions in this 13-day period, specifically in regard to relationships. Love the ones you love.

Poppet in Sambal's House

Territory: See your boundaries defined as the timewave unfolds.

In this timewave, you can potentially develop understanding of the rules, emotions, populations and inhabitants of different territories, both physical and multi-dimensional.

Who shares your path with you on this frequency of consciousness?

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 1 Dog:]

I love the way the 260-day Mayan Sacred Calendar changes direction. For example, the previous timewave (Earthmover) of ground-shaking evolution is followed by this emotionally based Dog Timewave.

The 260-day pulse is a quiet but potent frequency that sneaks up on the consciousness as we gradually open doors in our subconscious to attune to the frequency of Earth within the Galaxy.

13 Water (Moon)

[Saturday 2 April 2022]

A day to offer incense.

Photo thanks to André Eichman

A day of gratitude and a day to surrender to the cleansing waters as they dissolve all blockages to the new sprouting energy that is already transforming your life.

Day 13 says ‘Let go and celebrate the end of the timewave.’

The dissipative consciousness cleanses the mind of thoughts.

Make an offering of gratitude for your life.

The 2012 Era and the Message of 13 Water
Evolution and transformation – which is the theme of this, the Earthmover, Timewave – requires the dissolution of blocks in our perception concerning the immediate potential and imminent reality, so that we can emotionally accommodate the next new reality.

The next scale of consciousness is a far bigger environment of the psyche. This is the spiritual reason for acknowledging contentious issues, such as Atlantis, the UFO phenomena and other anomalous experience, research and testimony.

LjL surrendering to the
cleansing waters, Isle of Wight

The soul is like water, but the mind compartmentalises reality. The boxing and filing of information into relevant and irrelevant trays has been necessary for ego development. Now, however, in this 2012 era [1986 to well into the 2020s], it is time to dissolve some of the filters.

Increasingly, it is not enough to just take a ‘spiritual perspective’, to meditate or to simply have a psychological or sociological viewpoint. Instead, we are being pressed to have a full integral perspective.

The next scale of reality is planetary, so we are being impulsed to start releasing our compartmentalised walls of mind, to open to the totality of experience that is co-existent here on Earth – the Immanence.

The species is now required to engage with the areas of reality that have been kept hidden, for the new landscape of the psyche exists on the other side of the Shadowlands that stands before us.

The jewels are hidden in the murky realms.

12 Rabbit (Star)

[Friday 1 April 2022. NEW MOON 06:27 UTC; 07:27 BST; 14:24 HK time]

Today, 12 Rabbit, is a day of coherent light and a day of clarity.

Composite created by Carey

A good day to organise your consciousness. The diversity of your thinking, or the diversity of your emotions, or the diversity of your intentions can find some coherence today.

You have the opportunity to understand the new energy of this timewave that has transformed you in some manner. You have the opportunity today to integrate quite effortlessly.

Your thoughts – which may have been scattered – can coalesce naturally and effortlessly today.

Image from here

The many radiant thoughts and emotions you have today can come together as a coherent understanding – if you tune into them all as products of light, for they are all emanating from you.

You are a ball of light, a star, a singular monad.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 12 Rabbit:]
Today, 12 Rabbit (Star) in the Earthmover Timewave – which is the same timewave that led us through the 2012 Winter Solstice – reveals to you the omnidirectional potentials for change that are present due to the 2012 influx. A good day to feel how the 2012 effect [from 1986 to well into the 2020s] is manifesting.
