From Publishers Weekly
Dreams, coincidence and imagination are the three 'only' things, says Moss, because people's common response to these phenomena is that it's only a dream, etc. A thriller writer and the pioneer of a dream-interpreting technique called Active Dreaming, Australian-born Moss believes that the Three Only Things can connect with extraordinary sources of direction, healing, and energy. Writing about dreams, Moss is eloquent and authoritative, a wise teacher. He says that for many indigenous cultures the dream world is more real than waking life; he argues for dreams' prophetic capacity; and he shares some dreams of his workshop participants and reveals the meaning behind certain common dream motifs. The power of the section on dreaming carries the rest of the book, which is a slightly rambling and quirky meditation packed with great stories on how to read the coincidences that pop up in our lives. Moss is a raconteur, but a serious one, and finishes by describing how we can access and use our imagination's healing imagery to help us map our lives. As he says, [W]hat we can imagine has a tendency to become real in our bodies and our world. (Sept. 15)

From the Inside Flap
When we claim the power of the Three Only Things, we connect with extraordinary sources of direction, healing, and energy.

We also become citizens of two worlds. In everyday circumstances, caught up in hurry and stress and other people's schedules and expectations, we often lose touch with the deeper meaning of life. We become entangled in problems that cannot be solved on the level of thinking and being that we are on. We become strangers to magic, which is the art of reaching into a deeper reality and bringing gifts from it into the ordinary world.

Through dreams, coincidence, and the workings of imagination, we begin to remember that there is a world beyond the obvious one, where we reawaken to who we are and what we are meant to become. Reawakening to that world is like discovering colors after living in black-and-white. That other world is actually the multidimensional universe within which our 3-D reality bobs like a rubber duck in a bathtub.

Through the Three Only Things, we wake up to the secrets of creative living. We become conscious that we attract or repel people, events, and opportunities according to our energy and our state of mind. We come to grasp that there are no impermeable boundaries between inner and outer, subjective and objective. We remember that the passions of the soul work magic and that our best work is done in the spirit of play. All of these things are open secrets, knowledge that belongs to us -- and can be used by us -- as soon as we are ready to reclaim it. As we discover the powers of dreaming, the rules of coincidence, and the uses of imagination, we may regret that it took us so long to reclaim these tools for living -- tools that are profoundly simple yet have the power to remake our lives and our world.

Essential Practices
In "The Three Only Things," Robert Moss illustrates how the daily practice of paying attention to dreams, coincidences, and imagination is immensely beneficial to us all, from the average person to the world leader. According to Robert, these vital personal resources so frequently trivialized in modern culture are our best allies; observing them changes our lives and our world for the better. If readers want to learn more from Robert about his very effective and simple dreaming techniques, I recommend the DVD series, "The Way of the Dreamer with Robert Moss", available through Amazon.
