I was driving the truck immediately in back of the car that crossed the lane and hit Gene's car head-on." So almost 30 years to the day and 50 miles away from where the accident occurred on one of the busiest highways in Massachusetts, an eye witness ...

“An Upraised Chalice is a spiritual adventure story detailing multiple near-death experiences; it is the inspiring story of a lifetime's quest for the sacred, ancient wisdom, alluded to by the mystical traditions of the world's cultures.  The book is predicated upon the concepts of karma and reincarnation and details the authors coming to terms with this inner understanding of a past life that he had as a boy and sought to understand more fully as he grew older.
