This is a very unusual book written by a very unusual person. Well worth reading, it sets you thinking on many levels. It is good to study different approaches as they help you to find the right way forward on your journey.

Jock Brocas' "Powers of the Sixth Sense" is a unique and compelling work dealing with the most important issue in our world today, namely our security as individuals, members of society, and in a broader sense as guardians of the natural world. Drawing from his experiences in the armed forces, international and private security and as a consultant to some of the leading blue-chip corporations, Jock presents a wealth of information in the practicalities of personal, corporate and national security. He cites case histories and anecdotes with relevance and insight, often highlighting critical details with the eye of the professional insider, but always with compassion and understanding of the human condition and the individuals concerned. -- The Boox Review, Feb 2008

Of course, the title of this book is intriguing enough, but what really caught my attention is the subheading: How to remain safe in a hostile world. So my attention was then drawn to read the back where I discovered that Brocas, formerly a top security consultant as well as personal body guard, has been taught and is now a teacher in the ways of Ninjitsu and the Samurai, and is also an experienced psychic medium. Immediately, I knew that this was not going to be your average book about developing your psychic abilities. Brocas has put together a book that is very interesting and current, separated into three parts: commonsense, risk and intuition. Each part ups the ante on the previous by delving deeper into one's innate psychic ability and proving to us that the ability is always there for us to realise and use to our advantage. This is a great way for us to develop a trust of our inner voice when we are confronted or threatened. A very interesting book that is timely for a generation where threat levels are at their highest. -- Oddessey Magazine, April 2008

This book is exceptionally well written and has some unique perspectives on safety, especially being able to diffuse a situation while it occurs or before the event by using your natural intuitive ability. The way in which the author has integrated stories that people can use practically in their lives is excellent. This book is a lifeline for people and an important asset for the human race. Tacy S. Trump, Senior Executive Producer, -- Voice America

This is a very unusual book written by a very unusual person. Jock Brocas is a professional psychic medium, a top security consultant and a teacher of the Japanese martial arts of the Ninja and Samurai. He describes how from very early in his life, he recognised a level of understanding in his approach to being. He became involved in protection duties with top people, including her Majesty the Queen Mother. Through this he began to realise the medium, as they are overshadowed by the spirits and feel the spirits' emotions. Powers of the sixth sense should be required reading for anyone who wishes who work in this field,or to keep safe in a hostile world. -- Spirit Release Foundation Magazine

Upon reading the opening pages of this book, I was both surprised and delighted to find that the author was a practitioner of Ninjutsu, and also a psychic medium. Having read many other books about the Ninja and spiritualism, I immediately knew how he would probably approach the material.

Certainly, I wasn't disappointed. However, even though this is not a book about Ninjutsu itself, or spiritualism as a religion, the author does present many of their techniques which can be used to protect oneself and others in this current world of terrorism and hostile acts, not only abroad, but oftentimes on our very streets.

Although many of the other works on Ninjutsu focus (though not exclusively) on the physical aspect of this martial art, Brocas has taken a more psychic and spiritual approach: in other words, relying more on the sixth sense to warn of impending danger so that physical contact for defense purposes doesn;t necessarily have to occur.

Brocas begins Part I with a commonsense approach, making ourselves aware of how often we actually allow criminals access to our personal information without realizing it, and how we can prevent such things from happening. This includes creating protection for yourself, your home, and your business.

In Part 2, he takes a look at risk levels and possible protective measures, paying special attention in two chapters to rape and terrorism.

Part 3 focuses on the psychic and spiritual aspects: how you can develop and use your sixth sense to make your life more secure. Along with this information are excellent discussions and explanations of various facets of psychic phenomena such as mediumship, telepathy, and ESP.

"By attuning yourself to [subtle imbalances in fields of energy] you will be able to identify, perceive and anticipate possible problems that may manifest in life, from street-level violence to international incidents by terrorists."

Powers of the Sixth Sense is an easy read, filled with examples, exercises and extremely helpful information for anyone concerned about living in today's turbulent society. -- TCM Reviews,May 2008

This review is from: Power of the Sixth Sense: How to Keep Safe in a Hostile World (Paperback)

I found the book Power of the Sixth Sense to be a very well written work on a little known part of self defense. The information most people study on the physical side of defense is important, but is made vastly more effective by adding the ideas laid out in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Harmonizing Mind, Body, & Spirit in Self-Defense, March 5, 2008

This review is from: Power of the Sixth Sense: How to Keep Safe in a Hostile World (Paperback)

This book has much to offer the person who must survive in a world that is increasingly hostile, angry, and threatening. In effect, the book is about protecting oneself from terrorists of one kind or another - whether street hoodlums, members of an organized terrorists group, or simply self-serving co-workers or neighbors who verbally attack out of envy, greed, whatever. It is primarily about mental self-defense.

"By unlocking your sixth sense, you can become your own bodyguard and personal adviser," author Jock Brocas writes. "You will listen to yourself before you do anything, and your mind and body will give you the answer or show you how to protect yourself. Listening to your intuition will save your life."

Brocas draws upon many years in the security business. "I have looked into the mouth of the dragon (death) on three occasions, and each time my strength and belief in Budo has brought me back from that barren wasteland and mouth of eternal destruction," he states. What Brocas is advocating is the awareness and focus of the old Japanese samurai, or of the martial artist of today - a way of harmonizing mind, body, and spirit to overcome fears and thwart the aggressor. He explores everything from surviving the emotional abuse of a spouse to attacks by organized terrorists. He offers many helpful tips on everything from protecting your home against burglars to protecting your aura, or personal energy field, from invasion by negative forces.

"Living with your sixth sense allows you to detect subtle imbalances in field of energy," Brocas offers. "Everything exists as energy, even if perceived as a solid form. By attuning your self to this frequency, you will be able to identify, perceive and anticipated problems that may manifest in life, from street-level violence to international incidents by terrorists."

It is unfortunate that a book of this kind has become necessary, but the reality is that if we want to endure and survive in an in an increasingly spiritually-challenged world, we must strive to become more spiritual.

This review is from: Power of the Sixth Sense: How to Keep Safe in a Hostile World (Paperback)

The emphasis in this book is mostly on personal protection through common-sense caution and trust in your intuition; hunches; gut feelings.
He frequently encourages us to take psychic signals seriously, and relates some of his experiences in this area.

There are many valuable suggestions and reminders of things we can and should do to protect ourselves by both physical and psychic means -- although a few of his suggestions are not likely to be practiced by most people,e.g., spending at least 20 minutes inspecting your car every single time before getting into it.

He touches on the simple basics of clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognizance,
the fifth and sixth dimensions (which are "...the levels of spirit beyond the physical senses."), remote perception, lucid dreaming, dream-state precognition, auras, telepathy, psychometry,
psychokinesis, meditation,etc.

The info in this book may be too basically simple for some advanced readers of these topics, but
I enjoyed the read.
I consider 3 stars to be a 'good' rating; and 4 stars to be a 'very good' rating.
A book would have to be 'exceptional' to get 5 stars from me.
