Sacred Time and the Search for Meaning

We hunger for more time, try to manage and control it, yet we never feel we have enough of it. Consider sacred time as a time of no-time, a time when we can luxuriate in life’s fullness. We can approach it in states of joy, ecstasy and rapture. Sacred time is never far away, but how do we find it in the modern world? This lecture by Gary Eberle includes suggestions for how to get a sense of sacred time back into our lives through medition, prayer, and rites that celebrate life’s abundance. Listeners will move beyond mere “time management” to a more transcendent sense of celebration of the world of time.
