Robert Moss – Embrace Death, Dying & the Afterlife Using Shamanic Practices & Dreamwork

Anyone who dreams is a little bit shaman.
— The Kagwahiv, an Amazonian people

Robert will discuss where to go for reliable evidence of life after death. He’ll guide you through a survey of the rich world literature on ecstatic journeys and near-death experiences.

The human belief that consciousness survives the body, and the architecture of heavens, hells, and other collective situations in the afterlife, are founded on shamanic experience and personal dreams.

Shamanism tells us that either the departed come calling or the dreamer travels beyond the body. Shamans are the original scientists of the afterlife, the once and future masters of this field.

By definition, shamans have died and come back. They have firsthand knowledge of what lies beyond the gates of death and can return intentionally through those gates to communicate with the spirits, to guide and relocate souls, and better understand the geography of non-ordinary reality.

In this module, you’ll:

• Hear the testimony of those who’ve died and come back
• Study the methods of conscious explorers of the afterlife
• Discover that healing and forgiveness are always available, across the apparent barrier of death
• Journey to enlist the support of a spiritual guide for your explorations
• Learn simple methods of psychic protection and flight security

The dimension that separates the living from the dead is exactly as wide as the edge of a maple leaf.
— Handsome Lake, Seneca Indian prophet

On a cellular level, you carry the collective memory of your ancestors. To know this requires only the act of remembering.

On a psychic level, you’re constantly connected to the energies of both the departed and the living. To see this requires only a shift in perception.

You have entirely natural communication with the departed in your dreams. For many dreamers, this is direct and life-changing evidence of the reality of the soul — and its survival of physical death.

The departed appear in your dreams because they haven’t really left, they come visiting, or you enter their realms.

These encounters offer important opportunities for healing, closure, and giving or receiving forgiveness and guidance.

In this module, you’ll:

• Discern whether the appearance of a deceased person in a dream is a transpersonal encounter or a projection of an aspect of the dreamer
• Clarify the reasons for a visitation (there are 13 main reasons)
• Learn that a beloved animal that shared your life may be a wonderful friend on the Other Side
• Use a dream of the departed as a portal for further communication
• Welcome the departed when they are ready to play counselors and family angels
• Construct simple rituals to honor the departed and facilitate helpful contact when desired

Robert will guide you to call in spiritual guidance and protection as you embark on a journey to the Other Side.

Experience helpful and timely communication with someone who resides there. This may be a departed friend, a loved one who has appeared to you in a dream, or an ancestor from further back.

You may choose to use a personal dream as the portal for the journey.

Robert will also invite you to use group portals that have opened the way for previous travelers.

In this module, you’ll:

• Learn how to use a personal dream or memory as a portal for a journey to the Other Side
• Experiment with portals for the crossing from several world traditions
• Learn about conditions in the afterlife as your departed loved ones have experienced them
• Access tools for ancestral healing

Dante’s Divine Comedy is a great mythic tour of the afterlife from the heart of Western literature.

Guided by key passages from the medieval visionary imagination and while still stirred by the poetry, you’ll follow the journey of the soul — aided by dreams and an ancestral guide — through the gate to purgatory and on to the encounter with the beloved of the soul.

In this module, you’ll:

• Be guided to climb the 3 great steps to the angelic gatekeeper
• Participate in a journey, powered by shamanic drumming, to scale the soul mountain to meet the Soul of your Soul, however she chooses to appear to you
• Discover Robert’s new mantra for ascent from the heart center to the beloved of the soul, given to him in a recent vision

Robert will challenge you to reach into the place of your deepest fears to face death on its own ground — and revalue your life and its purpose from this perspective.

When you confront your personal death and receive its teaching, you forge an alliance that becomes a source of power and healing in every aspect of life.

This close encounter with death brings courage, which Rollo May rightly identified in The Courage to Create as the heart of the creative endeavor.

It encourages the ability to go beyond the surface vicissitudes of daily life. It brings keen awareness of a larger reality.

In this module, you’ll be invited to:

• Experience the weighing of the heart-guided practice
• Determine what you need to do to move on without regrets
• Encounter a personal death
• Renegotiate your present life contract and honor death as an ally

The living have the ability to assist the imaginations of the dead.
— Yeats

The deceased may need help and guidance from you because they have unfinished business — or because they’re lost, confused, crippled by guilt, or unable to detach from old environments and addictions.

Many of the dead remain near the living because they don’t know they’re dead.

As Robert will explain, sometimes you may be called on to provide or arrange rehab and escort services for the departed — and to develop rituals to separate and safely contain heavy energy that has remained with the living in ways that are unhealthy for all involved.

In this module, you’ll learn how to:

• Call in guidance for the deceased
• Assist the imaginations of the dead
• Help the deceased settle unfinished business
• Assist suicides and those who fear they are damned
• Construct a loving ritual of forgiveness or farewell
• Conduct a “second burial” to deal with heavy energy of the dead

Make careful exploration of the first transitions on the other side, as experienced by many who make the crossing.

Follow the trail of previous travelers, while staying open to fresh experiences and to growing new dreams of possibility.

Consider maps for afterlife transitions from several world traditions, as well as plausible accounts channeled from residents, soul travelers, and subjects of hypnotic regression.

In this module, you’ll:

• Encounter personal gatekeepers and welcoming committees
• Visit a place of rest and relaxation on the Other Side
• Go through an initial life review
• Re-envision a life story
• Inspect some collective belief territories

There are people in the South Pacific who maintain that there are as many afterlife locales as there are human imaginations.

This may be entirely correct — yet because many are lacking in imagination, they may settle in collective belief territories or confine themselves to very limited environments, says Robert.

Learn how imagination, memory, and desire are the architects and building contractors of the transition zones that one of Robert’s guides calls “Memorydream.”

In this module, you’ll tour:

• Schools of higher learning
• Real estate options
• Love on the other side
• Communication centers where the departed seek to contact the living
• Job opportunities on the other side, including becoming an apprentice guide
• The plane of recollection, where you can see and remember your larger soul history and connection with dramas being played out in many times and many worlds

All who depart from the world of the body go to the moon. In the bright half, the moon delights in their spirits. In the dark half, the moon sends them on to be born again.
— Kaushitaki Brahmana Upanishad

Are you ready for even wilder adventures as you follow the path of moonlight on water into the realm of Luna?

Robert will explain how, for the ancients, the astral realm of the Moon is where spirits take on subtle bodies before entering their mothers’ bodies in the physical world.

It’s also the space to which spirits ascend after cleansing and preparation. They may continue to reside here for a long time, watching over the Earth, entertaining Earth travelers, and producing dreams for those on the lower plane.

In this realm, the astral body is left behind when a soul ascends to higher levels. Interesting deities and angelic beings, both male and female, have been awarded patronage of what happens in the realm of Luna. Get ready for a thrilling ride!

In this module, Robert will guide you in:

• An encounter with the Scrubbers who cleanse and prepare you for entry Life after Life in the Many Worlds
• An encounter with a moon spirit
• Visits to a school, pleasure palace, art studio, and café — you’ll make your own list of destinations — in the realm of Luna
• Creating a place of rendezvous for return visits with residents and other travelers
• Inspecting what happens to astral bodies in this realm, before birth and after death
• Observing astral traffic between earth and moon

The space you enter after death and the space you’re in before birth are closely related.

As Robert will explain, at the moment of birth, you came from the dream world into the physical world.

Yet, most people aren’t born with clear memories of where they were before — and those who remember will have to withstand not only the trauma of the birth canal but elements of life that influence your memory’s accuracy.

In this module, you’ll:

• Meet members of your soul family who have been with you in other lives
• Remember your soul assignments in this life
• Harvest guidance on current relationships, life challenges, and health issues
• Identify soul companions who have come across space and time to be with you in your current life
• Meet your council of elders
• Learn how souls select a new life experience on Earth, or in another reality

There is a Plains Indian saying that the path of the soul after death is the same as the path of the soul in dreams. This is why dreaming is the best preparation for dying.

We can apply the techniques of Active Dreaming to help others approach death with courage and grace, and richly enjoy the years they have left on this side.

Simply by encouraging others to remember dreams and open to the dream adventure, we can help prepare them for the big journey beyond this life, since dreams take us beyond the ordinary world and prepare us for life in other dimensions.

We can learn to communicate on a soul level with people who are suffering from ailments like Alzheimer’s and dementia, and even with coma patients.

In this module, you’ll learn how to help others:

• Connect with a spiritual guide
• Open to dreams and awaken to how, in your dreams, you’re already at home in worlds beyond this one
• Meet a beloved pet that has passed and may now be a soul guide with a furry face
• Find a personal gateway for the journey beyond death
• Receive a map for the journey to life beyond life

Now that you’ve been to the astral realm of Luna and revisited a place where you chose your present life experience, you’re ready to rise to a more spacious view of the place of your soul in the multiverse.

Robert will share how you can travel into the life experiences of personalities in other time periods — past, future, or parallel — who are part of your soul family.

Choices made by each self impact other selves, since in the larger scheme of things, your lives are being lived simultaneously.

You may find yourself able to slip in and out of those other life experiences and rise to the perspective of a Higher Self, able to see the secret logic of events and change the patterns.

You’ve been doing some of this in your dreams for a very long time, even if you’ve been unconscious of it.

In this module, you’ll learn that:

• You stand at the center of all times
• In this moment of now, you can enter other times, commune with personalities living in those times, and influence all these lives for the better
• You belong to a soul family connected to a Higher Self, or Oversoul
• You can ascend to the level of the Oversoul
• Out of these profound exercises in soul remembering, you can find your soul’s true home in the multiverse — and bless the lives of those around you

You’re here in this world on a mission.

As Robert will explain, you had a life before you were conceived, and you’ll have a life after death.

Emerge from this final module, and this course, with courage and clarity you can apply to your daily life.

In this module, you’ll understand that:

• You belong to a spiritual, as well as a biological, family
• You have counterparts in other times and in alternate realities — aspects of your larger, multidimensional self — with whom you can exchange gifts and connect consciously
• You and your soul family are connected to master teachers
• You can graduate as a soul guide, helping people on both sides of death to remember their calling and find their ways

Dreaming Through the Bardos
Video Dialogue With Robert Moss and Andrew Holecek

In this deep and lively 40-minute conversation, Andrew Holecek and Robert discuss how to help those who are approaching death without a roadmap or a practice to guide them. They discuss the process of lending dreams to others, and compare flight paths for destination travel to happy places in the afterlife. You’ll learn more about what you can do for yourself and others as you die, and after your death. You’ll learn how your life can become richer and more meaningful when you make Death your ally, rather than something you dread.

Towards a Western Book of the Dead: The Victorians in the Afterlife
Video Teaching With Robert Moss

Robert provides a lively 30-minute introduction to the United Kingdom’s long-standing fascination with the afterlife and communicating with the dead, especially during the Victorian era. He explains that Queen Victoria’s reign was an age of seances and spiritualism. For instance, the Society for Psychical Research was founded in 1882 to lend scientific rigor to the search for evidence that consciousness survives physical death. Robert introduces you to brilliant and fascinating characters of this era, including ghost hunters who were also top scientists, physicians, politicians, and authors of the time.
