A Second in Eternity is the true story about an 'out-of-body, tunnel-of-light' experience I had over three decades ago, an experience that changed my life forever and still affects me to this day.

I’ve always been somewhat psychic, as are all people. I first noticed my natural ability as a child when I began having accurate premonitions, but I had no idea what they were or why I had them. Ever-curious, during college I began reading the works of numerous spiritualists and psychics, and started actively developing my psychic abilities. By 1973, I was giving readings. Then during February of 1977, I had the most profound of experiences.

Over the course of a day or so, I found myself becoming increasingly more psychic, minute-by-minute and second-by-second, and I was able to see, feel, and know things, especially the immediate future, at will and with uncanny clarity. There was no neutral, and unable to turn this phenomena off, I had to find outlets for it, so while in the company of others, I began accurately forecasting numerous events before they would occur. My friends and associates were stunned, but also quite concerned. So was I, as within days this experience escalated in intensity to the point where I could no longer remember what 'normal' life was like. 

While immersed within this tsunami of psychic phenomena and insight, I vacillated between indescribable euphoria and extreme fear. As I struggled for balance and spiritual understanding, I began feeling as if I were being monitored by some form of angelic beings in preparation for some voyage. I thought of them as the 'Monitors.'

That voyage came about at the end of that week - the most intense week of my life - as I paced down a crowded sidewalk on Guadalupe Street in Austin, Texas. Overwhelmed by the escalating phenomena I was experiencing, I began crying and praying aloud for help. People around me were shocked and concerned, but I was beyond embarrasement. Everything had become too complex, too symbolic, too intense!

Suddenly the Monitors appeared overhead and assured me they would protect me from all injury and pain only seconds before I was hit head-on by a speeding car.

I instantly left my body, felt amazing bliss, and witnessed the accident from above while expanding outward in all directions, like the surface of a balloon. I lost all sense of self, sped through the 'tunnel of light' often described by others, experienced ecstasy and beauty beyond description for what seemed like an eternity, then returned to my body, sprawled out on the chaotic street.

I opened my eyes to find the terrified driver on his knees, hovering over me and begging me to respond. I was bewildered, but not hurt or feeling any pain. Compared to where I'd just been and what I'd just experienced, this little collision was nothing, and insignficient, to say the least!

I leaped to my feet, feeling both ecstatic and overwhelmed. Within minutes, police, and an ambulance arrived on the scene. The driver, witnesses, police, EMS personnel, and Emergency Room doctors were stunned that I got only a small scratch on my head, yet no one could accept my explanation about the Monitors protecting me or what I had just seen. It was easy to understand why. It was hard enough for me to believe.

Still, I realized what I'd experienced. I was gone from my body for only seconds of Earth time, but for what seemed like an eternity in the highest of dimensions. Indeed, I visited the mind of God, was at one with the Creator, and experienced the one and only Infinite, the source of all possibilities. Since that night I've considered myself one of the luckiest of people just for having had this experience, especially upon it being revealed to me months later why I had it. Prior to my voyage, I would never have believed any human could actually 'go there' and return. Now I know otherwise, as do other people who have had similar experiences.

A Second in Eternity takes the reader on a vivid voyage through the mind and soul of one becoming overwhelmed by psychic phenomena. It describes the onset and escalation of the unfiltered perception that takes over when the wall that usually separates the conscious and subconscious minds begins to dissipate. This story reveals the steps I went through in unknowingly going from normal everyday consciousness to dimensions and worlds beyond imagination, to being at one with the Infinite, and to returning back to the world of time and space on Earth... as a different person.

Most of the incidents described in the book took place during 1977. I started writing my original manuscript in 1997 after telling a fifteen-minute version of this story to several waiters and bartenders at a club in Copenhagen, Denmark, where I was about to perform on the evening of February 7, 1997, the twentieth anniversary of my ‘second in eternity.’ Because of the intensity of the experience, I clearly remember what I went through during that period in 1977.  In 2010, I reconnected with many of the people in this story. They confirmed the accuracy of the story, and some even reminded me of other incidents and conversations, which I included.

A Second in Eternity also contains the remaining paperwork and copies of the original police and court reports taken from microfilm, but with all the names blocked out for privacy concerns.
