[Friday 18 June 2021]

Today we are asked to nurture our creations by allowing for fallow time.

The strong confidence of yesterday’s light dissolves into a brooding need to have some soulful security, to slow down and to open to the feminine.

Allow more into your area of love; it is a day of acceptance and nurturing.

Nutrients from Arcadia flow into your psyche and you can share the love.

The primal birth of the Earth, the Goddess realm, resonates through the ethers as the door opens to the ever-present birth of Earth.

The question is: Are you still being nurtured by what you think is feeding you?

The Virgin and Infant,
by Jean Fouquet, 1450

Are your expressions and is your creativity nurturing you?

Also, are you allowing yourself enough space in between your activities for the primal connection to Source to be felt?

10 Flower (Sun, Lord)

[Thursday 17 June 2021]

A day of manifest light. The Monkey Timewave manifests as the light within the trickster, which is humour with grace and the radiance of the heart opening.

When the face is lit up with a smile, the light of the Sun can be seen.

Today is all about smiling.

That does not necessarily mean grinning with recognition at everyone you pass in town today – it could be a song or a dance that brings a deep smile to your face.

Smile with the recognition of your divinity and the blessing of being sovereign of your personal reality. Be conscious of natural light today. Today is a day when the subtle creative light of existence – the wholly affirmative energy within life – manifests and is easily accessible through the agency of natural manifest light.

Monkey tells us that life is drama, full of dark humour, paradox and trickery, and that the key to playing the game successfully with a positive attitude requires that we draw upon the light.

The Divine Light contains the intelligence of existence and we are processors of light. The intelligence of all life far surpasses the intelligence of any machine or technology, no matter how advanced it becomes. In psychology, the computer metaphor has gradually replaced the study of the soul. This metaphor for the human mind (replacing soul) is known as the cognitive approach. We are indeed partially cognitive – that is, information processors – but the internet is already more efficient than any human for accessing all of the information of human knowledge, no matter how bright the individual.

Divine Light,
by Baron Arild Rosenkrantz, c.1950

So are we to surrender our divinity to the machine?

No, because the Divine Light contains the intelligence of Life, which includes far more than information – it is imbued with the ability of unlimited creativity. We are co-creators, far more than we are information processors; co-creators who are interconnected to the unlimited adaptability, spontaneity and joy of creation itself.

In today’s world, as the technological continues to progress, it is increasingly true that our connection to our sovereign light, our creative channel, is the most valuable commodity we own.

Today, bring more light into your being by smiling.

[Extra message from Laurence to contemplate on 10 Flower:]

Today is 10 Flower (also known as Sun or Lord) in the Monkey Timewave. Today, Monkey manifests as the ability to draw light directly from Source within the dark and unknown chapters of life. Monkey says that the rules of life are forever changing and that we can play – and should play – by our own rules when the situation demands.

Thank you Roberta Raine

Flower is the manifestation of a plant celebrating life. The plant synthesises light directly to sustain itself. We, on the other hand, in our present state of evolution, require the synthesised light that we get through eating plants. However, can we also synthesise light directly from the solar radiation that infuses the atmosphere? I think we are already doing that, to a certain extent, and that the body can synthesise vitamins and minerals from the atmosphere.

Light from the Sun is encoded with all the energy information for life on Earth – and that includes our consciousness. Higher levels of consciousness within us equate to and draw upon the unseen light from the Galactic Core and all of the stars that surround us. Beyond that, our higher levels of consciousness have resonance with, or are sourced from, galaxies all over the Universe, the Universe itself and then the light of the Multiverse.

The Moon also plays an important role in transducing light, by reflecting the Sun and, in effect, by enabling us to reflect upon ourselves through our feelings. The planets in the Solar System also transduce light into different frequencies. The Solar System is mostly made up of ‘space’ that is contained within the auric field of the Sun – the Sun’s influence – which extends out to the Oort cloud.

Thank you Karen Argyle

‘Space’ is actually filled with plasma, which is the fundamental state of matter, a kind of liquid-gas with very strange properties. Scientists have found that plasma exhibits signs of being a life form. In laboratory conditions, it has been found that two plasma fields can communicate and reproduce.

I consider plasma to be the conduit for consciousness.

The movements of the planets through the Sun’s plasmic ocean (the Solar System) change the symphony and the arrangement of frequencies. This is the basis for astrology.

9 Storm

[Wednesday 16 June 2021]

The shaft of light then enters the drama, a window of awareness into the completion of the cycle and the new space being offered…

The Mayan Sacred Calendar measures a different but ever-present realm; it is the layer of the tapestry of reality that connects the Earth, Nature and the Human World with the greater Cosmos. This day, 9 Storm, is a wake-up day.

A day of realisation. Not a rational understanding, but a soul-felt liberating connection, a memory from the future. A reminder that you were meant to drop that ‘thing’ you had already planned to let go of, or to break out of ‘this’, or to wake up from ‘that’.

A sudden bolt of lightening acts to cleanse, purge, purify and catalyse you. This could include meeting some strange but familiar person.

A good day to feel the Spirit of Freedom that lives within you.

9 Storm is a day to be alert to a peak experience, as a hole in time opens up in the most unexpected place and in the most unexpected moment.

8 Obsidian (Mirror, Flint)

Energy moving towards manifestation.

Committing to the Game of Life requires accepting the totality that results from your desires – which includes living with the shadow of what you want. However, the price is never as high as it might seem. The shadow is a scary spectre that dissolves with the light of your courage as you open up to new dimensions.

‘Mirror, mirror on the wall: Who am I?’

Today is a day where you can recognise how you are attracting what you ask for. You have the life that reflects the totality of your emanations – what you put out – and you are challenged to commit to accepting that, to seeing the shadow and the price of your desires. However, looking deeper into the smoky mirror of eternity, you will find that other worlds open up as you make the commitment.

Day 8 of each 13-day timewave is a day of balanced, controlled commitment; it is the energy of feeling prepared. Obsidian is a day of truth and surrender, of accepting the shadow and the universal reflection of one’s reality at the moment.

However, as we are in the Monkey Timewave, there is a subtext of ‘Do not get too serious or rigid with your commitment.’

Surrender your emotional tightness so as to open the heart and be a divine mirror.

The Monkey knows that on each level of the game, he faces his shadow.

In so doing, he is able to create and to weave new fabric into reality.

7 Earthmover

[Monday 14 June 2021]

A good day to feel a resonance or actually synchronise with the impulse of life to change towards the beneficial and the magnificent. 7 Earthmover is a high-energy day, full of magical potential.

Take time to remind yourself and to create some space, to experience the fact that all of Nature is alive, just like you. Feel the vital fizz of life; see it all around you.

Alternatively, a day to enjoy the magical surprise of a spontaneous element that comes into your life which takes you off track – meaning off the linear path of linear mind, so that you can integrate and synchronise with the force of evolution.

Life has an intelligence beyond our personal and immediate understanding.

What gift is here for you today?

6 Vulture (Warrior, Owl, Turkey)

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

[Saturday 12 June 2021]

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

Open Heart by Carey

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.

Composite created by Carey,
using images found on Google

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.

Laurence James Lucas, more than anyone else I have ever met,
had an extraordinary ability to keep his heart always open.

Today, which happens to be my Mayan birthday, and every day,
I call upon his Spirit to help me by imbuing me with some of
his clarity, his compassion, his breathtaking depth of vision,
his irrepressible joy in life, his refined discernment,
his unique capacity to empower those around him,
his wisdom, his humour, his contagious laughter
and his ever-open heart.

[Friday 11 June 2021]

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.

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)

[Thursday 10 June 2021. NEW MOON 10:52 UTC, 11:52 BST (18:53 HK time). Annular eclipse of the Sun]

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.

Three openings to the sky:
In California, on Lamma,
and at the beach in Whitstable

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

Image found on Google

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)

[Wednesday 9 June 2021]

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

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

Image found on Google

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.

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.

‘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

[Tuesday 8 June 2021]

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,

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.

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.*

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.
