Robert Moss has been described as having reincarnated himself several times
in one lifetime. He has been a history professor, a journalist and
editor, a BBC commentator, a risk consultant for Fortune 500 companies,
a bestselling novelist, a life coach and radio talk show host - and the
pioneer of Active Dreaming, an original and powerful way of accessing
personal sources of creativity and healing.
He has always been interested in getting to the bigger story that may
be playing out behind the surface of events, in our lives and in our
world.
As a foreign correspondent and bestselling thriller writer, he
developed extraordinary sources in order to understand the secret
springs of world events. His first book was published in
1972 when he was 25.
Throughout his life, he has drawn on extraordinary sources in a deeper
sense. He has recorded his dreams since his teens, and has kept a
journal, mostly devoted to dreams and coincidence, with daily
dedication for more than 30 years. His fascination with dreams dates
from his childhood in Australia, when he survived three near-death
experiences and first learned about the practices of a traditional
dreaming people through his friendship with Aborigines.
He decided to leave the commercial fast track and reinvent himself as a
teacher of the Three Only Things - for which there is no career track
in our culture - after he purchased a farm in upstate New York in the
mid-1980s, guided in part by the curious behavior of a red-tailed hawk.
He developed the original approach to tapping the power of dreams,
coincidence and imagination that he calls Active Dreaming.
He explains this approach, and how it can help us in making better
decisions, igniting innovation, facilitating healing and manifesting
life goals, in six books, including
Conscious Dreaming and The Three "Only" Things,
a DVD series, and a Sounds True audio course. He has worked with groups
ranging from nurses to top corporate communications officers, from
at-risk inner-city kids to adventurers in consciousness at the Esalen
Institute, in developing many applications of his core techniques,
including the use of active imagination for healing and of conscious
dreaming techniques for predicting and preparing for future events.
Robert's varied life odyssey, his humor and humanity and extraordinary
gifts as a speaker and storyteller, make him a marvelous guide who can
help us to reinvent our lives and fill them with juice and everyday
magic.
