Robert Moss describes himself as a dream teacher, on a path for which there has been no career track in our culture. He is the creator of Active Dreaming, an original synthesis of dreamwork and shamanism. Born in Australia, he survived three near-death experiences in childhood. He leads popular seminars all over the world, including a three-year training for teachers of Active Dreaming. A former lecturer in ancient history at the Australian National University, he is a best-selling novelist, journalist and independent scholar.

This week, Caroline discusses some of the areas of Shamanism that have not yet been talked about on this show - Good vs Evil, problems with dark spirits and demons, and dismemberment. Lions, and tigers, and bears, oh my! While Shamanism is an amazing healing modality, the Shaman must also deal with some very real and very serious entities and dangerous disease intrusions. It requires training and practice, the ability to focus and concentrate for extended periods of out of body journey work, and powerful allies in the Spirit worlds.

SELF-MASTERY, POWER, & JOY, these are the topics Caroline will discuss today. Self-mastery is important for all people who want to evolve into better people, but it is especially important for a Shaman. It is imperative in doing Shamanic Journey Work that the Shaman be able to get their mind, their ego, and their Self out of the way so that they are truly a hollow reed open to receive what the spirits are showing them without imposing their viewpoint, perspective, or rationalization on it.
