Galileo's Telescope by Karen Foster
The Problem - Down through the centuries the genius of man has built great civilizations. Remarkable beauty has been created through art, literature, and music. Yet, all of our wonderful achievements are eventually destroyed in the lust for power. In today's world nothing has changed. The destructive nature of man continues to wreak havoc on this small planet, affecting every living thing within its confines. Though modern man has made tremendous advances compared to primitive man, the violence and mayhem of ancient times continues to repeat itself, except now, on a much greater scale with the potential of total annihilation. It leads one to wonder, why intelligent, well-meaning humans can't be released from this cycle of bondage where they have placed themselves. The Analogy - By making a thorough analysis of a variety of ancient texts, Dr. Juna Jinsei takes us on an insightful journey to find the answers to the truth of ages that have been dissected, and were once expounded by great sages in the furthest reaches of the world. The facts that form the fundamentals of sentient life are what led to the profound teachings of old. These teachings caused the basic principles for perfect life balance to unfold, which eventually guided mankind to a superior realization of what to change and how to change it. The Solution - Counting Down to a Better World is a study of man at his worst and at his best. It identifies the root causes, which are producing our basic problems, and gives detailed steps on how to better ourselves as individuals. Finally, it brings the ultimate solution discovered in the ancient scriptures to light, so humankind can make the necessary transformation to evolve into higher realms as one united family.
Karen Foster is a pebble in the shoe of conventional wisdom, shining light on the discrepancies between what we say we should do, what we think we should do and what we do. It all started at the age of 18 when she chucked the traditional college experience and headed to that hotbed of nonconformity, San Francisco. Fortunately, she was too young to know that shouldn't have worked out well, so in her own time, she went ahead and graduated from San Francisco State University with a degree in Clinical Psychology. After years of working in both the non-profit and for profit sectors, Karen realized that there was no profit worth the aggravation of gainful employment. So in the midst of the .com craze, Karen headed north to Portland, where she started her own business as a speaker and a coach. Today Karen travels around the US as a professional development trainer where she encounters all sorts of interesting people who continue to be amazed by her unwillingness to breed (or do lots of other things so-called 'normal' people do.) She still lives in Portland.
