We don't need more time, but we need more of a connection with things that are timeless

What we are going through now has happened before
what we are looking for is perhaps already inside us
As humans we live and die in the context of the stories we tell ourselves about the world
and our place in it

Two great stories happen at the same time the great drama of the world and the unique stories trying to unfold from each individual soul
at this critical time on earth something essential from the story of the world is trying to be rediscovered
and something crucial in each life story is trying to be revealed
through myths of re:creation we can touch the timeless images and archetypes from which the living world first arose
and find inspiration and insights into collective transformation on earth


timekeeping 
The origins of timekeeping are sundials
(sundials are not effective after sundown)

So the original ‘keeping of time’ only happened at daylight
and at the end of each day - time would disappear the darkness would come and people would understand that eternity had come back, and so one of the things we have lost in the modern world is this vision, this view that connects us at the edge of our knowing with nature and with the world behind nature
the world behind the world (i dont want to use the word cosmos here)

(last impressions last)

And another thing we have lost is the connection to timelessness
In other words people are always running out of time  
But it isn't more time that we need but its more timelessness
In order to feel the depth of creation that is always present and in order to get a new view of the world
Its not simply that we need a better world, but we need a better view of the world

So it's natural for humans as part of human nature to be stretched between the heavens and the earth below our feet
To be stretched between eternity and everything that is time bound
That's part of the inner tension of being a human being
Because we are suppose to become conscious of things that are beyond our normal grasp (transcend)
We are supposed to be in the course of our life in the growing of the life that's trying to unfold within each of us supposed to get greater insights
and intuitions about the things that are not obvious in the world (the field)

And when we lost that kind of ‘sense’ that humans are stretched between time and eternity, that we are children of the heaven
as well as born from the earth
when that got lost
along with it went the loss of understanding of the nature of the world
seen through the eyes of myth...
