A Bird's-Eye View of the Dr. Beter AUDIO LETTER(R) Excerpted from
the Dr. Beter AUDIO LETTER(R) REFERENCE DIGEST Copyright (C) Audio
Books Inc., 1983
Some General Remarks
The 80 cassette tapes which make up the Dr. Beter AUDIO LETTER
series contain an enormous amount of information. It would take the
equivalent of two 40-hour work weeks just to listen to the entire
80-tape set once through.
In those two weeks the listener would see over seven years of major
current events come to life in a unique way. He would see the unseen
forces at work which make sense out of what otherwise seem to be
chaotic, irrational news events. And he would learn many eye-opening
historical background lessons which are little known, yet which are
vital to understanding how we got where we are today.
Unfortunately, though, it would be like taking a drink from a fire
hose. The listener would absorb a lot in a hurry--but also, a lot
more would get by him.
At the opposite extreme, those who subscribed to the Dr. Beter AUDIO
LETTER tapes had the advantage of absorbing each tape, one at a
time, in context with then-current news events. But the tapes were
released over a period of over seven years--from June 1975 through
November 1982. It would be a rare intellect that could keep all the
salient details of all the tapes in mind, meshing them together with
each new tape, over all that time. Dr. Beter tried to alleviate this
problem by summarizing past developments from time to time, but the
basic problem remains. And when it comes to a review, even the
long-time listener is faced with somewhat the same
drink-from-a-fire-hose problem posed by the 80-tape collection.
For both the long-time subscriber and the newly acquainted listener,
a roadmap is needed. That is the purpose of the Audio Letter
REFERENCE DIGEST.
In this "Bird's-Eye View" section, we will try to boil down the
broad insights of the 80-tape AUDIO LETTER report series as
concisely as possible. We will keep details to a minimum, aside from
examples to illustrate particular points. Given the broad outlines
of this section, we believe that all the details in Section 2 and
Section 3--not to mention in the tapes themselves--will be easier to
grasp and far more meaningful than they would be if viewed in
isolation.
In the long term, it is this broader picture of the basic forces
behind current events which is the most important of all to
understand. Even though some of the developments discussed in the
tapes have run their course, the forces which brought them about
continue to operate today. Comprehending how those forces led to
yesterday's events is the key to seeing through countless new events
today and tomorrow.
