Saturn drawing by de Goya
"Saturn is the force of fate, the force that makes you experience your karmas whether you want to or not. Saturn will search out the weaknesses in your personality and expose them to full view, making you experience your limitations.
As long as you are unable to control your own nature, you are at Saturn's mercy."--Robert Svoboda
The Next Project 40:: 20: Saturn & Time
Starts on the New Moon (ruled by Saturn).
January 30, 2014.
I'll think of it tomorrow. After all, tomorrow is another day.” ― Margaret Mitchell
You have no more futurity and no more past if you serve the spirit of this time. We need the life of eternity. We bear the future and the past in the depths.The future is old and the past is young. -Jung-From the Red Book
Do you feel endlessly held hostage to delays and setbacks in your life?
Do you complain that life is passing you by at warp speed?
Do you have a tendency to put off that which you know will bring you the greatest amount of positive change in your life?
Is "I will start tomorrow" your mantra?
Have you been carrying over the same resolutions from year to year... hoping this year you'll finally make that change?
Are you aware of how much time you waste in your life and why?
Do unconscious psychological issues play on repeat and thus suck precious time and energy from your life?
Do you struggle with waiting until the last minute?
Do you have a problem starting things that you talk about?
Do you carry shame over your relationship with time?
This P40 is devoted to Saturn, the ruler of Time, Karma and Reality. How do we overcome Saturn's "cruel gaze"? How do we cease self-identifying with our limitations. How do we work with our weaknesses, overcome our innate nature, overcome our tendencies to delay, put-off and pretend we have endless amounts of time.
By surrendering to the minute-by-minute experience of Reality--bitter or sweet.. we learn all that Saturn has to teach us. (Svoboda)
Procrastination may seem like a surface problem and something so common that we simply take it for granted... almost as if a joke. "There goes another year".... or "every year I say I am going to do x, y and z".... but in reality there are both simple and very complex reasons why we fail to embrace the immediacy and limits of time. With the planet Saturn as our guide, we will navigate the boundaries and structures and limits of honoring the sacredness of time and the NOW.
We will use the next 40 Days to truly delve into our relationship with Time and Saturn by exploring those weaker parts of our inherent natures that cause us to stumble, repeat, delay or procrastinate on that which matters most to us. If you're tired of Saturn mangling your life, it's time to invest in the kind of hard, steadfast inner work that brings the support of His Greatness.

Project 40 Testimonials:
I just wanted you to know how much I have appreciated and learned from the Project 40, and your caring support, wisdom and guidance has been immeasurable. Your Project 40 Rounds have shown me that I can commit to a regular practice of Introspection/Contemplation...and that has been a very big Gift to me – because I have doubted that I had a “disciplined bone in my body” and your Inspiration has shown me “I can do it!” Jai Ma! Thank you immensely. I may not have done every day, but I learned over time to keep the questions in mind and not give up and return to the Project.--SB
Thank you so much Sherene. I have evolved so much through this process. The real me is back.
Project 40 was an amazing prescription for me. My relationships are better – me and my mum are so much more expressive of our love together. I have been honest when things aren’t going well in my new relationship and he has listened and responded to my needs. No tit-for-tat love in any of these relationships. I feel closer to my girlfriends. My self-worth – I know I’m good enough, pretty enough as is the next girl on the street. I know that I’m also responsible for bringing love and happy times into other peoples lives and I can orchestrate events too. I feel alive, burning through old shell, full of love and ready to give the world my best.-Kam
I read each email on the train and really appreciate your sharing and your guided questions like arrows piercing the truth.Thank you. You are such a major part of my healing. Even my physical therapist notes the improvement, it's on a cellular level.Yes, your way of journaling is inspiring and you ask the 'right' questions to help me really think about my self and gain insight. Grateful. --L.R.
