This product is the result of the: Jean Houston … sharing elsewhere will result in being banned! Jump TimeJump Time gives in-depth evidence of a unique period for humanity, on a global and personal level—a period of rapid change that will transform human nature for the better. The new millennium is a time in which what we have scarcely dared to dream is beginning to reveal its shape. The spectacular and dangerous changes that come with this millennial beginning require that we use every capacity we have in order to make this transition. What must we do to prepare ourselves for this rich and challenging time? This is an informative and enriching handbook for life in the twenty-first century.**From Library JournalHouston, a leader in the human potential movement and author of the best sellers A Mythic Life and A Passion for the Possible, believes that humans are entering a critical stage of rapid change. (The human potential movement says that people only use a small percentage of their positive potential, which can be unlocked by different means, e.g., role playing.) The world, she asserts, is shifting from an ethnocentric view to a global one thanks to the Internet, which is decentralizing information and reforming new cultural neighborhoods. Houston points to the Renaissance, another period of rapid change, and poignantly points to Shakespeare and da Vinci as two people who were “myriad-minded”Da quality that children need to develop today. Also attractive are the whimsical chapter titles (“Wok and Roll in the Rainbow World” and “Psychenauts in Cyberspace”). The best of Houston’s work so far, this will become another best seller and is recommended for academic and public libraries.DLisa Wise, Broome Cty. P.L., Binghamton, NY Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.ReviewHere is Houston at her finest, using colorful allusions from her extensive reading of great literature and fascinating anecdotes from her rich personal experiences in exploring human capacities. Jump Time suggests how human beings can awaken to their own possibilities, how technology opens people of the world to each other, and how wisdom and spirituality are combining to lead humanity into a more positive future. Houston describes as well the emergence of a global community of shared cultures and ethnicities. This book really stretches the mind to a new dimension.– New Horizons for Learning
