Living in Time

This book is about developing a sense of timing. The main focus in cultivating this sense is awareness, a receptivity to what's in the wind, what's going on within and what appears to be the underlying meaning of life's remarkably variegated experiences. There are many paths to awareness, and each of us follows our own heart in pursuing the path appropriate to us. Here we are using the language and symbology of astrology by which to identify the ever-varying facets of time, and thereby to become aware of what's really going on in life as we experience it.

Astrology is useful in this process of identification, because it is precise and well used, encompassing many approaches to reality, and is a language spoken by many and increasing numbers of people. In generations to come, it will most probably move into centre-stream as a language for understanding time, change and things psychological and subtle.

Even if you are not particularly interested in devoting your life to absorbing astrology thoroughly – a rather committed path – it is undoubtedly worth picking up its basics and using them in your own life, in any way useful for you. This book is thus for you who are interested in the passage of time, in energy-working and natural religiosity, in seeing astrology in a new light, or in simply being aware of what's going on in your life.

This book doesn’t have to be read from beginning to end. You can do what you like with it.

The chapters are presented in an order which you might enjoy to follow if you are starting off in astrology. If you want to pick around, however, give each chapter a good scan, for this book offers an approach which sees things in wholes, and you’ll miss the point if you simply seek bits!

Living in Time and how time passes – written by Palden Jenkins in 1985-86, published in 1987. This is the re-published online version.

Also you can download a zipfile containing the HTML pages and illustrations (1.3Mb), for viewing on your computer and/or printing out. When extracted, the files in this zipfile will need to be allowed to deposit themselves into a new folder and some sub-folders under it.
Interesting reading for the weekend ...
