"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

WITH SPECIAL THANKS
To the feminine energy around me,
specifically
Gerri, my psychic guru,
who gave me my original focus;
Arlene, my mom,
who gave me the equipment to focus;
Shirl, my wife,
who helped me fine tune my focus;
Lori, my daughter;
who is the product of my focus;
And Amy, one of my spirit guides,
who focused my focus.
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.
While reading this book, please keep in mind two basic concepts that you need to know about reality. First, reality is defined by your individual experience of it; second, it can be changed!
The only reason you may not have had a similar journey up to now is that you may not have been aware that it was one of your options!
How can you discover your options? Read my story! We are not going to begin at the beginning of the story, however. Instead, we again depart from tradition and commence near the finish. (This will satisfy those who prefer to read several pages and then skip to the end to get a sense of what may lie between.)
So, I invite you to come along and explore my adventure as I experienced it. As you read the following pages, if you recognize that what you comprehend is your truth, then continue, observing the specific clues in your life that might lead you to your path as I was led to mine...
So, let's go to the end...
Which is actually the beginning...
Which begins at Chapter 3...

 
CHAPTER 3
The End at the Beginning
An incredibly beautiful place," I thought to myself as I surveyed the magnificent scene before me. I was perched at the top of a picturesque, 50-foot waterfall in Maui, Hawaii. For reasons I failed to fully understand, I was considering a leap off a narrow ledge into the frigid waters of the pond below.
"This has to be a power spot, a geographical energy vortex of some kind," I reasoned, trying to be rational. Yet rationality would have prevented me from even considering the action to which I was being drawn. I do not "do" heights well; nonetheless, here I was, balancing precariously close to the edge of my perch while considering a plunge into the unknown at age 50!
My wife and I were in Hawaii visiting a couple in whose house on the mainland we had been married 10 years before. They had taken us to a picturesque waterfall and pond known only to a handful of locals.
After an enjoyable swim in this secluded setting, my host, Ron, suggested I follow him up a narrow path to the top of the falls and to an outcropping of rock overlooking the pond .
Ron walked carefully to the very edge of the ledge and looked down, as if to study the water beneath. Then, drawing himself to full height, he jumped off into the pond below as he had claimed he could do.
Suddenly I was left standing alone, debating my next action. I could retrace my steps and carefully descend the path down to the pond where we had left our wives, or I could follow the more direct route taken by my friend moments before. As I stood there debating, I knew that if I were to emulate his deed it would be because I chose to do so-not because of competitive male pressure!
I couldn't believe what I was considering. My conservative nature directed me to take the safe route down; yet, I was distinctly aware of an inner feeling that was urging me to jump. Nl of my previous programming and my terrifying fear of heights instructed me to not take this course of action. Yet an exciting, inner psychic voice prompted me to take the leap...
Then again, I guess I shouldn't really have been surprised at anything I was feeling! From the moment my life began its dramatic transformation at the instant of my sudden psychic discovery some years before, nothing seemed to fit a predictable pattern. Now the entire world was changing. Ever since the recent observance of what the metaphysical community knew as the "Harmonic Convergence" of 1987, or even since the 1992 consciousness--awakening event known as the "11:11," the world had been undeniably altered. Things were different, people were different, and even the pace of living appeared to be moving much faster than before.
It was as if both Mother Earth and her inhabitants were evolving into a new form. Mankind as a whole appeared to be tuning to a higher frequency, as if undergoing evolution or transformation.
Some writers used specific phrases, such as "increased awareness," "spiritual awakening" or "elevated planetary consciousness," to characterize these phenomena. The
