Page xix
Not long ago, I made a startling discovery. I learned that my maternal grandfathera family member my English-born mother rarely spoke ofhad been a practicing psychic. That suddenly seemed to explain my early and abiding interest in psychic phenomena. But I've decided that even though I might have a genetic, intuitive advantage, I'm not all that different from anyone else who works at being good at what they love.
Make no mistake, I did work at developing my skills in order to become highly intuitive. And because I did, I can help guide you there easily and quickly. I know the shortcuts. All it takes from you is the same curiosity I had when I was a child (and when you were a child). It also benefits from an openness to the possibility of creating a better life through developing your own ''sixth" sense.
Have I been able to "see into a person's life"? Yes. Have I amused, amazed, and astounded some of my clients? Definitely. Have I won the lottery? Well, yesand no. (But more on that later.) What I have done most consistently is to help people like you learn some important things about themselves and their current situations, and then suggest ways to improve their lives. When my clients listen with open minds and hearts, they almost always learn something of value to them personally. That's what I wish for you as you read The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being Psychic.
William James, a famous American psychologist, said, "The greatest discovery of my generation is that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives."
Developing your psychic abilities can definitely help you change your attitudesand your life. I can personally vouch for that. And if you read this guide and apply what you learn, you, too, will find your life changing for the better. And you may even be helping other people to change theirs.
So now, open your mindand your heartand let's begin.
