Robert Moss – The School of Dream Growing 2022

An Imaginaut not only uses imagination, Imaginauts can travel to places of true imagination, and build things that can come to fruition in the physical world.

In our first adventure together, you’ll be invited to travel to wonderful places of creation, discovery, and healing. You’ll open to the power of your dreams. You’ll discover that your dreams show you the secret wishes of the soul — and give you ways to embody those wishes in the life of the senses.

If you’ve been suffering from a dream drought, that will soon be history as you are carried by the supportive energy of the group and the creative spirits you are now calling to you, including your own Magical Child.

In this module, you’ll:

• Meet your Gatekeeper, that sacred entity that opens and closes roads in your life
• Break a dream drought, and help others do so as well
• Learn to solve problems in your sleep, and let dreams give you maps for life adventures
• Journey to places of vision, guidance, and healing to which you can return
• Grow your practice of creative visualization
• Master a fun, fast way of sharing stories that builds creative friendships and helps you and your partners take action to embody your best dreams
• Make your journal your Magical Diary for manifestation
• Awaken to the practice of Real Magic — the art of bringing gifts from other worlds into this world

The blocks we encounter — whether in ourselves, our circumstances, or both — may be teachers and helpers, as well as part of life’s cycles. A block can drive us to discover a new direction, spur us to develop new skills, gain courage and stamina, or lead us to look again at what really matters in life.

We may find that obstacles we encounter on our life paths can actually save us — and encourage us to shift direction and notice better options. We may even come to recognize that there is a hidden hand that places some of these obstacles in our way.

We’ll learn, like the philosopher emperor Marcus Aurelius, that “the impediment to action advances action. What stands in the way becomes the way.”

In this module, you’ll:

• Free yourself from self-defeating thoughts and images rooted in the past
• See what blocks you with new eyes, as a chance to play a deeper game
• Seek opportunity in every setback
• Brave up to your fears in the knowledge that courage is not the absence of fear, but fear conquered by something stronger
• Dance with the Trickster, who is your devil when you’re set in your ways, but a fabulous ally when you’re ready to change and improvise

Whatever life throws at us, we always have the ability to choose our attitude. And this can change everything. We are now entering one of the great open secrets of life…

“We are magnets in an iron globe,” as Emerson declared. “We have keys to all doors. The world is all gates, all opportunities, strings of tension waiting to be struck.”

We choose which doors will open or remain closed. We decide what we will attract or repel in life, according to our attitude.

In this module, you’ll:

• Read signs and dreamlike symbols in the world around you
• Become a “strange attractor” for happy encounters by checking your attitude and following the laws of spiritual gravitation
• Put your questions to the world and receive guidance
• Find the courage and resources to take your next creative leap
• Notice how meaningful coincidence multiplies when you are in motion, traveling outside your familiar rounds or going through a major life transition
• Recognize the special moments when synchronicity is at work — and be ready to seize on the revelation or opportunity that becomes available

The body believes in images. Abundant evidence from medical science and sports psychology demonstrates that the body responds to an image as it might do to a physical event, pumping out self-generated pharmaceuticals according to where we place our attention.

Any image that belongs to you can be a source of power and healing, even the scary stuff you would rather keep in a locked box. The trick is to learn how to develop your personal imagery so it can help you get well and stay well.

Your body is waiting for you to become skilled at doing this.

In this module, you’ll:

• Harness the diagnostic power of dreams
• Stock your mental shelves with healing imagery from dreams and meditation
• Use active imagination and dream reentry to transform scary dreams and disturbing images
• Seek direct healing from a sacred guide and healer
• Journey to places of imagination where you can return for sanctuary, healing, and regeneration
• Construct a personal energy map that will provide you with living symbols and shamanic allies, and alert you to the natural path of your life force

Your imagination comes most alive when your body is dormant. Spend more time in the twilight state between sleep and awake, and practice being present at your destination with all of your senses.

Learn to form and enter a vivid scene in which you see yourself enjoying fulfillment of your deepest desires.

Some dreams feel like movies made for us by our own personal film production companies behind the curtain of the world. These dreams may instruct or entertain, and they may use shock, humor, and special effects.

We can become conscious film producers — directors, scriptwriters, and stars of our own life movies.

A great place to grow this ability is in the liminal space of hypnagogia, between sleep and awake. In this state of awareness, you are highly intuitive and creative, able to make connections that escape the everyday mind, and open to contact with inner and transpersonal guides.

In this module, you’ll:

• Enjoy spending more creative time in the place between sleep and awake
• Embark effortlessly on lucid dream adventures
• Grow your supernormal abilities to see and sense across time and space
• Visit your personal dream cinema or cosmic video store
• Develop your personal film production company in the Imaginal Realm and become director, scriptwriter, and star of your own life movies
• Embark on destination travel to fabulous places of romance, recreation, healing, and initiation

When we take on a creative project — and its element of risk — and step out of whatever box we’ve been in, we draw to us supporting powers, especially the power that the ancients called the genius or the daimon.

What makes a world-class creator is mysterious. But neuroscience tells us that one characteristic of creative people is that they make connections between things that other people don’t see as connected. Educational psychologists speak of a “fourth-grade slump,” when adult assumptions and formal training start to block kids’ natural ability to connect and make things up.

To be fully creative, you need to call in your Magical Child.

In this module, you’ll:

• Invoke the support of higher powers
• Develop a daily creative workout that supports your emotional, physical, and mental health
• Call back your Magical Child
• Build your own place of creation in the Imaginal Realm, where you can entertain friends, converse with masters, and grow the life projects you wish to see manifest in your world
• Grow the courage and resources to take your next big creative leap
• Journey beyond the Mountains of the Moon, to reclaim a vital part of yourself that parted company with you when you refused to take a creative risk

Waymaking is the Polynesian name for the kind of navigation that can get you across 2,000 miles of open sea in an outrigger canoe without maps or instruments. When you have a vision of your destination so strong in your mind and senses that you can taste it, touch it, and smell it, you’re more than halfway there.

We’ll let the awakened heart be our compass, directing us towards the fulfillment of our deepest desires. Be ready to go deep.

In this module, you’ll:

• Go to a place beyond your ego to identify what you truly want for your life on every level — relationships, home, creative work, community
• Grow a vision of what your life will be like if you manifest your heart’s desires, a vision so strong and rich that it wants to take root in the world
• Move decisively beyond inner blocks and self-limiting beliefs
• Develop action plans, affirmations, and talismans to manifest your vision

We can bring a dream — a healing image, a vision of life possibility, a bigger and braver story — to someone in need of a dream. We can gift a story to another person that can help their body get well and restore their passion for life. We can even bring a map of the afterlife journey that can help the dying to approach death with courage and grace.

The Vision Transfer technique, invented by Robert, brings your natural intuitive and creative abilities richly alive, and has proven to be deeply healing and rewarding in many situations.

In this module, you’ll:

• Develop positive imagery for healing and empowerment that you can offer to others
• Offer your visions in a way that avoids manipulation by inviting the intended beneficiary to receive only what they choose to take from you
• Become a “word doctor” who can help people heal their lives by telling better stories about them
• Help others to approach big transitions, in living and dying, with courage and grace

Imagine this. You stand at the center of all times. Past, future, and parallel times are all accessible to you in this moment of Now and may be revisioned and revised for the better.

In this moment of Now, you can make mental contact with your counterparts in other times and other worlds and share lessons and gifts with them.

In the many interactive worlds, you can reach out to a parallel self who made different life choices, and share skills and experience with the artist, traveler, or priestess you did not become — yet. You can travel back to a younger self to connect with a mentor and protector your younger self may desperately need now.

You can scout forward on the roads of your current life, gathering vital information on challenges and opportunities that lie ahead, laying a stronger foundation for manifesting the wishes of your soul.

Here’s where this journey has brought you: the place of fruition. The observer effect first identified in quantum physics is at work on all levels of the multiverse. The act of looking brings an event into manifestation. As an Imaginaut, you can stir the quantum soup of possibilities, and choose what will emerge into form and manifestation.

In our last class, we’ll weave all we have learned together. We’ll review the NINE SECRETS OF IMAGINATION:

• If you can dream it, you can do it
• If you can picture your blocks, you can play with them or move beyond them
• The body believes in images and they can help it to heal and stay well
• If you can see and sense your destination, you are more than halfway there
• Your Big Story is hunting you
• There is a world of imagination, and it is entirely real
• You can transfer a vision to someone in need of a vision
• The stronger the imagination, the less imaginary the results
• The time is always Now

We’ll make sure we have everything we need to do what we love, and allow the world to support it. We won’t leave journey-deprived! We’ll journey to more extraordinary places in the realm of true imagination.

Be ready to grow your BIG dreams of life stronger and better, and to make yourself magnetic to the forces that will help you embody those dreams every day.
