A book for our time
This richly illustrated study and narrative is both a spiritual history of the modern era and an inquiry into the nature of timeless transformation. It includes a study of the life of Dr Annie Besant and her work in the Theosophical Society, concluding with a section on the importance of J Krishnamurti in bringing a new consciousness of change.
A burgeoning culture of holistic values may as yet have little significance for a world caught up in a confusion of conflicting viewpoints. Yet the potential to live wholly and perceptively can lead one to the threshold of a fertile mystery locked in consciousness itself, a place where concepts of self, time and causality can take on an entirely new meaning. Exploring the significance of causality and change in our lives is never the exclusive province of science or philosophy. When we are done with all the theories, how do we perceive change within and in the world around us? OF TIME AND THE TIMELESS uncovers the limitations of our temporal conditioning, which the author explores in the light of a timeless perception that is firmly rooted in the present. The resulting narrative is both intimate and universal, making it accessible to a wide selection of readers interested in exploring the relationship between inner freedom and the perceptive life.

‘For those who are not only particular but need to get the record straight this book will be of great help. The story of The Theosophical movement in the world. The roles of Madame Blavatsky and Annie Besant are of the utmost significance. Anthony Berriman has done great justice to the facts and historical perspective in this book. Not least remarkable he has characterized the message of J. Krishnamurti within both its time and timelessness.’ A beautifully researched and presented book I recommend it to all who seek to know the roots of our times.’
