This is another wonderful, absolutely all-embracing and inspiring book by Robert Moss.

This author has amazing abilities as regards conscious dreaming, as he calls lucid dreaming, active dreaming (which I can´t at present find that he provides a definition for), soul journeying and so forth. I haven´t really understood the distinctions between the various forms of “dreaming”, but the book presents an astounding array of accounts of otherworld journeys (travelling between the worlds), communication with spiritual guides, shamanic soul-flights, and visits to what he terms “ex-physicals” and their guides in their own environments.

I have by no means managed to integrate the wealth of knowledge presented in this comprehensive book about all types of soul journeying, work with the dead, etc. etc. Most of what Moss describes are some sort of out-of-the body experiences, and he often refers to the OBE expert, Robert Monroe, one of those I most admire.

He contends (and I´m not disagreeing with him) that dreams are real experiences, flights of the soul, and may be memories of the future. He provides several instances of dreams he himself had that he later came to experience in “real” life, though perhaps the dream world is just as real (or more real) than waking life. The path of the soul after death is the path of the soul in dreams.

We are provided with many exciting exercises, e.g. “Stepping into a picture”, “Climbing the spiral stair” – which will shoot you out among the stars where you may set your course for particular planets or star systems, and one called “the second self technique”, where you are guided how to leave your body,

The author holds active dreaming courses throughout the world, where he and his students participate in “shared dreaming”, journey together to other planes, universes, whatever, and retrieve lost parts of people´s souls.

He calls himself a “paleolithic psychologist”. Basic insights of paleopsychology are:
1) Spirits are real.
2) We live in a multidimensional universe peopled with beings – spirits of nature, gods, daemons, angels and ancestors.
3) We are more than our bodies and brains.
4) The soul survives the death of the body.
5) “Soul journeying is the key to the spiritual worlds and the knowledge of ultimate reality.” “The heart of spiritual practice is to shift consciousness at will and travel beyond time and space.”
6) Souls are corporeal, though composed of much finer substance than the physical body.
7) People have more than one soul.
8) Souls or pieces of souls can be lost or stolen.
9) Some people have more souls than others and can make excursions to different places at the same time.
10) At death “different vehicles of soul go to different lots”. It is possible to explore the conditions of the afterlife to prepare for one´s death and assist souls of the dying or departed.
11) We are born with counterparts in nature, e.g. a totem animal and a relationship with natural forces such as wind, water or lightning.
12) We are born with counterparts in other places and times, and in other dimensions of reality.

What can I say? I am unable to express the scope and depth of the material that Moss offers. It is an exciting book, one of its kind and an essential purchase for anyone interested in dreams, OBEs, or soul journeying.

Moss is divinely articulate, exceedingly erudite, and exceptionally gifted in all matters covered by this book. He generously recounts innumerable, unique journeying experiences both of his own and his gifted students, and provides us with many exercises of various kinds.

This is a book you will need to read again and again, and you will need to practise the exercises again and again, unless, of course, you have a natural talent for such things, as does the author.

I highly, highly recommend that you purchase, and devour, this book. Enjoy! ( )
