“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!

    Seeker, Practitioner, Scholar

    Building upon previous “Connoisseur of Time” podcasts, this and the last episode supports listeners in completing the “Listening” exercise (pages 19-23). This is the first of dozens of contemplative exercises in the Quest for Presence collection. “Listening” sets the stage for everything else to come. So, listeners are encouraged to download the free e-book and review the brief “Listen” chapter (pages 19-23). This episode features both Kristie and Ronnie sharing their experiences of Art working through the exercise and their own experiences. Most importantly, we learn an amazing range of experiences regarding one’s attitude toward time. Ronnie (Practitioner) talks about setting a boundary to create more time and the need to be more effective in managing time (Self-accountability). Kristie (Seeker) talks about her soul work, which has led her to be much more in the moment than previously in her life. At the same time, there is some anxiety. “Presence gets scary, so it is easy to be busy.” Please visit our website at www.presencequest.life.

    Waking Up to the Map-Part 2

    Why is that people don’t think about time other than clock-time? In this second part of Waking Up to the Map, we explore different answers, including time compression, addiction, ego (Edging God Out), resistance, and believing that the phrase “time is money” is anything more than a metaphor. We also prepare to read the first part of “The Connoisseur of Time: An Invitation to Presence” (or ‘CoT’ by Joel Bennett).   Our hosts – Joel, Art, Kristie, and Ronnie – each contribute to a way out of this blind adherence to clock-time. We talk about: (1) embracing the fact that life is messy; chaos is real; (2) realizing that the present is just that – a gift!; (3) thinking about time as multi-dimensional and that we don’t have to stay in one dimension; (4) going with the flow; (5) being more mindful of how we use the word time (and “busy”); and more. This episode refers to the book Full Catastrophe Living (by John Kabat-Zinn), the Buddhist Noble Truth that “all is suffering,” the idea of non-resistance from Taoism, and the work of the C.S. Lewis who had his own theology of time. (#addiction, #takeyourtime, #timecompression, #chaos, #acceptance).

    Waking Up to the Map (Quest for Presence)

    Please visit us on Patreon A unique treasure map might lead us to a healthier relationship with time. We contemplate this map together in this podcast series. Clock-time is only one view of time. If we do not know about other views, we limit our more profound experience of life in both our private and public worlds. In this episode, we first talk about the negative impact of time pressure on our health, environment, and society. But the treasure map provides a bigger picture of healthy time and deep time, and includes spirituality, ancient wisdom, science, intimacy, and preciousness as well as many other treasures of this happening life.  Four explorers or “time weavers” draw wisdom for this vast literature and describe their own approach to this map, based on the book “The Connoisseur of Time: An Invitation to Presence” (or ‘CoT’ by Joel Bennett). Kristie Ellison focuses on the importance of waking up to embrace and flourish from the here and now. Art Wimberly brings many years of experience as a spiritual coach and person in recovery and working with the Enneagram. Ronnie Gatrey brings us back to the treasures through his own experience of his day. Joel Bennett, the author, brings his experience to create a community of time-weavers, including you. Waking up to the map is an invitation. This quest for presence is an invitation. In this episode you are invited to just get a sense of the big picture. To take a peek. Our approach to time is interdisciplinary and experiential. You are invited to your own presence. This episode – as many others -- also refers to insights from diverse areas of our culture and literature. Here we refer to modern music (Pharrell Williams), the Old Testament, Spirituality & Health Magazine, and the new book Waking up to the Dark (by Clark Strand), (#clarity, #siezetheday, #clutch, #spontaneity, #genius).
