Quest for Presence: Re-Imagine Time for Well-Being

“Time is what we make of it. Be Here Now. Find time for the things that matter.”These simple statements mask a deeper spiritual reality when time becomes an old friend. We move beyond “be here now” to be here for the whole time of this precious life. The Quest for Presence podcast guides listeners with new ideas, research, and perspectives on time that knit together wisdom from science, mysticism, and spiritual health practices. Based on the five-book “Quest or Presence” collection (by Dr. Joel Bennett), listeners can both listen and read along as they apply these ideas with exercises, we call “contemplations.” To get started, we recommend downloading our free e-book “The Connoisseur of Time: An Invitation to Presence” and worksheets from our website www.presencequest.life. Visit us often for updates and announcements about the releases of new books in the collection and accompanying worksheets and tools. We look forward to having guest speakers and authors who speak on a wide range of topics related to time in society, science, health, and personal as well as spiritual growth. From the Foreword of “The Connoisseur of Time” by Dr. Roger Jahnke “The new model of time offered here is rich and beautiful enough to support real transformation for you. The quest for presence can be practiced. It can take us into contemplative and spiritual arts and practices. It can be enjoyed in community.” So please join us in community! From time to time we will host live participant podcasts where you get to ask questions and possibly offer your own insights about your own happening life!

In this episode, I am joined by Robert Wilkinson (Astrologer and metaphysical wizard--check out https://substack.com/@aquariuspapers). We explore the tension between the temporal world we inherit and the eternal pattern underlying all existence. We look at consciousness across scales, galaxies, planets, and human life, and how universal forces shape everything. Our focus is the contrast between the vast, timeless patterns and the narrow, conditioned reality of the local mind.

The local mind is shaped by culture, family, and again, daily routines. Drawing on Buddhist insights, we discuss how the mind divides while the heart perceives meaning directly. That's the key.

The mind divides while the heart perceives meaning directly. Ultimately, we invite you to notice when you're caught in the temporal matrix and reconnect with the eternal field of consciousness. Sit back, sit back, relax, and enjoy.
