FEW people could be blamed for regarding our world as increasingly insecure. From terrorist attacks to muggings, many people feel more vulnerable than ever before. advertising Click here to find out more!

However, one Inverness man believes we all have a vital weapon with which to defend ourselves against such threats. Our intuition.

Martial artist, professional trainer and professional psychic Jock Brocas has drawn together elements from his background in the martial arts, the armed forces and security industry along with what he regards as his own psychic abilities to create a defence mechanism based on awareness which forms the basis of his first book, "Powers of the Sixth Sense".

The book appears to have struck a chord with the American public and went into a second printing in its first week of publication and has also been praised by readers such as former Ministry of Defence UFO specialist Nick Pope, martial arts practitioners and is endorsed by a scientist involved in the CIA's experiments in ESP, Project Stargate.

Other countries have also expressed interest in publishing the book and a major US television network -- which Jock says he cannot reveal at the moment -- has also been in talks about using the book as the basis of a series.

However, Jock, who lives in Inverness with his wife Joanne, insists financial success was not his main motivation in writing it.

"If people get in touch with their feelings it can keep them safe from violence," Jock said.

"The book's out there to help people and if it changes one person's life, it's done its job. Our world is a hostile place."

"You just have to look at the local and national news. Recently in Inverness we've had a violent death, we've had the London terror attacks and the attack at Glasgow airport. But we have got to realise we have an original weapon within us and that's intuition."

It is a weapon those in the frontline of the "War on Terror" seem to be already utilising, Jock believes.

"I did a radio show for the armed forces and had contact from soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq," he said.

"One guy had this intuition about going into a particular building. He changed his route and discovered that if he had gone into that building, he would have been taken out, along with the rest of his patrol because an ambush had been set up."

This was only one of the many radio and television stations which have shown an interest in the book and Jock and Joanne have found themselves giving interviews at 3am or 4am to stations across North America or elsewhere in the world.

One of the examples Jock cites in his book is of a British doctor who felt something wrong about his forthcoming holiday to Asia, cancelled at the last minute and so avoided becoming a victim of the 2003 tsunami, but use of self-protective intuition need not involve such dramatic circumstances.

"It can be something as simple as the hairs sticking up on the back of your neck when you go into a club," he added.

"It's a natural inbuilt ability that we all have."

The book also brings together various aspects of his own life including his long-standing interest in martial arts, his career in the army and security industry and what he maintains are his own and his wife's psychic abilities.

"I've always been a spiritual person," said Jock. "I was brought up a Roman Catholic and I wanted to be a priest when I was younger. My uncle was a monk and I used to go to the monastery all the time. In the monastery I saw a priest and tried to shout to him, but he ignored me and when I complained the next day, the monks told me he had died years before."

Alongside this experiences ran Jock's fascination with martial arts. He studied judo, Taekwon-Do and Shotokan karate, but his main interest was in Ninjutsu, the martial art of feudal Japan's own equivalent of the special forces, the Ninjas.

However, he kept his involvement secret, telling his family that he was going to mass on Sunday when he was actually going to martial arts training.

Psychic authors Jo and Jock Brocas.

"In fact, it was only two years ago at our wedding that my mother found out I was a black belt," Jock claimed.

At the age of 16, Jock joined the army as a boy soldier and went on to become a combat medic and served with various units, including the Gurkhas and Paras, before an injury sustained on a march through the Brecon Beacons in Wales led to Jock receiving a medical discharge. However, he was able to call on his military background for a career as a bodyguard in the security industry, thanks in the main to a posting to a royal residence.

"I worked with the Queen Mother's Special Branch protection team and that fed what I wanted to do," he explained.

After training with former members of the SAS, he became involved in personal protection work, specialising in surveillance and counter-surveillance, and working internationally, mainly in the oil industry.

"One moment I could be working for a synagogue in Glasgow, the next month I could be working for Middle Eastern clients -- though I never told one lot I was working for the other one," he laughed.

Jock also says that his security work led to frightening undercover encounters with paramilitary groups in Northern Ireland when his intuition saved his life and that he was part of a team which went to Los Angeles to train police there in firearms and close combat techniques.

It was when he returned to Scotland to live in Aberdeenshire, that Jock met wife Joanne on a psychic development course. "Of course, I was her best student," Jock added, claiming the course has helped him make sense of his psychic abilities and he and Joanne now work together as mediums. This has included being called in as consultants in poltergiest cases, though Joanne has also used the controversial complementary therapy Reiki to treat depression and other conditions.

Jock knows there are many who would scoff at the couple's psychic claims, but he is not the sort of person to back away from confrontation.

"I have taken on sceptics on air. I've got a bit of a reputation as being the Gordon Ramsay of mediumship," he laughed.

Nor is he worried about subjecting his claimed powers to scientific examination.

"I believe what we do has a basis in science and we should be able to prove it," he said.

"I don't mind taking sceptics on. It's a challenge and I enjoy a challenge. I also take on other psychics. There are a lot of cowboys out there who are just out to rip people off. When we are called to hauntings, we never charge a penny."

Since Jock wrote his book, while recovering from the effects of a serious car accident, the couple have both become authors. Joanne has her own book, "Feel the Vibes", scheduled for publication in September. Focusing on psychic and spiritual development, it includes a number of stories and Joanne's own experiences from the Highlands.

The couple have plans to co-author a book, but before that happens both have their second books to produce and in Jock's case, that involves engaging in some "DaVinci Code" like contentious religious territory.

"My next book is called 'Powers of the Soul'," Jock said. "It's about Jesus and challenging the Church's view that Jesus was the saviour and devine. I believe he was probably the most powerful medium and healer and I've gone through the books of the Bible to prove mediumship existed in that day. I believe it's going to be very controversial -- and so do my publishers." -- Inverness Courier, June 2008

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

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

By	Michael E. Tymn (Kailua, Hawaii) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars An Amalgam of Trivia, February 23, 2009

By	Kent Lawler (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews

The way this British book was described on Amazon led me to believe that it filled a unique void by connecting physical ninjutsu skills to more esoteric psychic abilities. However, the book quickly turned out to be a major disappointment in that its contents are of the most superficial nature. The writer probably knows less than the average reader about the topics he "explains." Many sections of it are taken directly from the resources he cites in the bibiliography. The book attempts to address many potentially interesting topics, but unforfunately most areas are only alotted about a half-page. Misspelings are rife throughout the book, and though this is a typical consequence of self-published works, they add to the sense that one is reading a very unprofessional endeavor. Even more disappointing than the writer's surface presentation of ninjutsu is the fact that the material he does include is very dated (antiquated) to the point of being almost irrelevant. My own ninjutsu students have prepared more substantive theses for their black belts than what is found in this work. This leads me tho think that, perhaps, the levels of expectation among British readers is not nearly on par with what we have come to expect in the States when it comes to these subjects. Here, we tend to avoid quick-and-easy books attempted by fellows who are Jacks of all trades and masters of none.

5.0 out of 5 stars Power of the Sixth Sense, July 25, 2008

By	Richard R. Severance - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
