Quest for Presence Book 4: The Trajectories

Title: Quest for Presence Book 4: The Trajectories
Author(s) Joel B. Bennett, PhD

Because of our worship of clock-time, we fail to appreciate the daily blur, the kaleidoscope of life with its many wondrous features of deep time. Until now. Quest for Presence: Book 4 – The Trajectories offers an 8-part framework that helps us personally align the eternal with the temporal. With science, poetry, art, personal reflections, self-assessment “contemplations,” and Day Crafting™, readers will find a wealth of practices to make each day a full quest into their becoming. Book 4 can be read alone or along with other books in the QfP collection. The term “trajectory” refers to the fact that time is both fleeting and noticeable and that we can earn to flow and use time in new, health-giving ways. The eight trajectories are:

  1. Routine
  2. Schedule
  3. Timing
  4. Transition
  5. Rhythm Entrainment (Synchronizing)
  6. Transcendence (Timelessness)
  7. Interruption
  8. Pacing

In this book, you will:

  • Learn a new “big picture” framework for managing and transforming your relationship to time
  • Explore how your day-to-day use of time reflects a deeper process of meaning
  • Receive guides (contemplations) that give concrete instructions on time transformation
  • Learn the science, mythology, psychology, and cosmology behind each trajectory
  • Find your unique pattern of working with the trajectories
  • Develop time wisdom that cannot be learned in classic “time management” programs
  • Follow the story of meandering Pooh and wise Owl as reflections of your own journey
  • Utilize poems, pictures, essays--as well as research--to grasp the significance of time well-lived
