"Reading each page of this book is a delight as Chuck Coburn, a highly informative guide, leads us through his personal odyssey and discovery of his psychic capabilities." In addition he is an earthy humorist and fine metaphysician who imparts extensive information about the wonders of the universe. As we identify with Chuck’s experiences, we realize how we too, can access this universal bank of knowledge."

"Coburn has written a highly credible book about the discovery of psychic potentials. This is a fascinating account of an ordinary guy who has extraordinary psychic experiences. Coburn found the winning combination. He took his experiences seriously and yet humorously at the same time. Lucky for him that he had a good sense of humor to begin with!"
-Kenneth Kelzer, M.S.W
Psychotherapist, author
''Chuck seems to me to be an 'old soul' who has a young way of opening doors into some quite remarkable realms, and he has a way of doing this that makes us want to be more involved. He is inviting us into his world. I believe it is the world of the future for our species. Today's paranormal and supernatural will end up being tomorrow's expanded normal and more inclusive natural."
-Jon Klimo, Ph.D.,
President, California Society for Psychical Studies

Prologue
This story opens with Chapter Three.
To understand the reason this writer departed from the time-honored tradition of beginning at Chapter One, you need to know that a higher spiritual source woke me quite unexpectedly at 4:30 A.M. one cold December morning and informed me that it was time to begin my book. I was surprised at its direction, not so much at the early hour, but because I never had the slightest inclination or vaguest clue that I would become involved in such an enterprise.
Sitting at my word processor with a freshly brewed pot of coffee, I dutifully typed "Chapter One" at the top of the screen, fully anticipating that my spiritual guidance would immediately begin its dictation. I had learned sometime earlier not to question the direction of this higher source, since "it" always seemed to understand what was best for my personal growth.
I patiently sat... and waited.
Now, I am the first to agree that Chapter One would have been the logical place to begin. But, since there was a distinct absence of anything profound manifesting itself on my computer monitor after over an hour, I elected to bypass it for the moment and skip to Chapter Two.
I cleared my head and focused my efforts. Figuring that I was now well under way in the writing of this unexpected narrative, I was confident that this second chapter would unfold with much less difficulty than the previous one.
This maneuver proved equally fruitless.
For some reason for which I have no logical explanation, I modified the previously typed heading at the top of the page to read "Chapter Three." At that very moment, as if by magic, the words suddenly began to tumble out of some unknown location and appeared on the computer screen before me. Looking down, I observed my fingers with fascination as they moved and bumped into each other with the excitement of a new adventure, and the book began to unfold before me.
If you sense that this is going to be an unconventional story, you are correct! This will not be one of those stereotypical dissertations on spirituality or psychic awaken ing; nor, will it be similar to other esoteric how-to books that crowd the shelves of popular New Age metaphysical establishments.
Instead, you will discover that it is the tale of a common citizen, a regular guy, perhaps not unlike yourself, whose life suddenly took an unsuspecting turn at precisely 6:45 P.M. on a fall Sunday evening more than a dozen years ago! Although this book recounts the saga of one man 's journey to awareness, I share it to illustrate how each of us may understand and apply the metaphysical principles that truly exist on this physical plane-once we give ourselves permission to experience them.
There are many paths out there; this story involves only one of them. However, the truth is that all paths ultimately lead to the same place: self-awareness, truth, growth and the understanding and acceptance of what reality truly is.
