Welcome to Book 4 of the Quest for Presence Collection
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(TM), readers will find a wealth of practices to make each day a full quest into their own becoming. Book 4 can be read alone or along with other books in the QfP collection.

Reviews for Quest for Presence Book 4: The Trajectories

I have just finished reading Quest for Presence Book 4 and found it to be substantively and stylistically brilliant. Dr. Bennett has been engaged in process philosophy in addition to wellness seminars and writings. Seldom have I seen such a scientifically sound and philosophically coherent book that is so clearly and engagingly written, with so many useful, practical exercises to guide readers to enhance their daily planning to increase time awareness and enrich meaning in their lives. Bravo! -Raymond C. Hawkins II, Ph.D., ABPP (Clinical Psychology), Associate Faculty, Clinical Psychology, Fielding Graduate University Building upon the wisdom of Books 1 through 3, volume 4 deepens the sacred journey toward conscious living with clarity and grace. Dr. Bennett's work is a tapestry of science, soul, and spiritual presence-an offering that speaks to the healer, seeker, and leader within us all. His commitment to integrating presence, purpose, and transformation resonates deeply with my own work in whole-person care for emotional and spiritual intelligence. This book is a luminous guide for those walking the path of awakening to their soul's purpose. -Keyaunoosh Kassauei M.D., Founder/Leader My Conscious Coaching Group a 501C3 coaching nonprofit (http: //www.myconscious.org) Quest for Presence is a luminous invitation to explore the unfolding rhythms of your life. With poetic clarity and scholarly depth, Dr. Joel Bennett weaves together spiritual wisdom, neuroscience, philosophy, and contemplative practice to help readers reimagine time as a living force-one that pulses with Rhythm, Transition, Interruption, and Transcendence. Rather than offering yet another take on time management, this book asks a deeper question: How do we make life meaningful-especially in the fleeting and fragile moments of transition? Bennett shows how we are not passive recipients of time's passing, but active participants in the dance between the temporal and the eternal. Whether you are a coach, therapist, pastor, or simply a seeker, this book is a companion for making sense of time-its fleetingness, its fullness, and its quiet call to live meaningfully -Etta Hornsteiner, Board-Certified Health & Wellness Coach-Practitioner; Creator of Time ReDesign and Seven Thresholds to Transformational Living People crave a deeper rhythm and connection in their lives. Quest for Presence Book 4 offers that rhythm. Reading helped us slow down long enough to hear ourselves again. Many of our clients, colleagues, and friends, live on the edge of overwhelm, feeling incongruent in the world. The Trajectories offers a language for a way through that does not involve abandoning who we are or escaping our lives. It brought to our awareness again the small, quiet knowing we've all learned to ignore in a culture that values speed over depth. What we appreciate most is that this book does not just talk about presence or mindfulness, it offers that experience while you are reading. The journey of the meandering Pooh and the wise Owl brought a level of connection and emotion often not found in works about presence. -Theresa Hubbard and Walker Bird, My Inner Knowing Podcast In Quest for Presence Book 4, Joel Bennett has cracked open the inner workings of the universe and laid it bare for all to study and experience! Deeply layered, amazingly creative, and always immediately helpful and profound throughout. Bennett has deconstructed time and its use and misuse in a more complete way than anything I have ever seen. He will guide you with the most heart- and mind-opening insights to the most practical applications. It is more than a book, it's a path to carry throughout your life and help you elevate whatever you are facing today. -Jonathan Ellerby, PhD, Bestselling author of The Seven Gateways of Spiritual Experience
