Phoenix Hour

Time is important for specialists from many different backgrounds. In this paper I wish to summarize my work on temporology and to focus on selected topics which are of special interest to Prenatal Psychology, i.e. the Effect of Celestial Twins (ECT), the Phoenix Clock model and a four-element emotional theory. Although at first glance they might seem as loosely related topics, these themes are forming a cohesive unity. Once we gain better understanding of the different times and the related Birth Potentials and Elements, there may be better chances to improve our parenting and harmonious child-raising. These temporal theories will also be illustrated by a unique case of one of the giants of 20th century music, Sergei Prokofiev, born during the Phoenix Hour of 1885-1900.

The importance of the Mother­Father­Child Triad is well­known. The family system today is of prime
importance in characterizing a society, in general and an individual’s development, in particular.  Anything that affects the parents also affects their interactions with their children and vice versa: anything that affects the child influences the parents. Temporology (the study of time) suggests exploring the Mother­Father­Child Triad  by mapping historical periods and learning from the past generations. This chapter  shows that the growing
understanding of timeliness, on the one hand, and conscious and ongoing co­operation between the future parents during the process of conception, delivery and childrearing, on the other hand, is of great
psychological, emotional, mental and physiological advantage to the offspring. The Author shares her belief that like ever­flowing time, like ever­changing life, parenting is a creative process. Our challenge is to make this process as joyful as possible for all its participants.
