 DREAMING WITH EINSTEIN
By Robert Moss
The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the
same level of thinking that created them.
- Albert Einstein
On September 25, 1999, while leading a workshop in Chicago,
I recorded the following dream:
Einstein
tutors me on time travel
I enter a
landscape that can be folded like a map, or crumpled so that points that would normally
appear distant in time and space are next to each other. I see a beaming Einstein figure
sailing across the vista. He seems to be gliding in midair, but may be traveling across
the surface of an invisible screen.
Einstein wants to talk to me, and begins to
speak in a thick German accent. I am amazed, delighted and skeptical. Who would a great
scientist wish to communicate with a scientific ignoramus like me?
Einstein explains that there are two reasons. First, from
his current vantage point he has an even greater appreciation of the value of dreams and
the central role of dreaming in our future science. Second, he reminds me that he was
always a dreamer, and that his greatest discoveries were the fruit of his dreaming.
“Dreaming was central to my lifelong work, from my vision at sixteen of riding a beam
of light.”
Einstein tells me that dreaming will help to unlock the secrets of
time travel – which could, however, be a mixed blessing. He continues to insist on
the physical impossibility of human travel backwards
through time. On the other hand, according to “my” Einstein, it is possible to
enter the past and interact with beings and situations in the past in other ways –
for example, by materializing a body at an earlier time or by occupying the body and
awareness of a person living in that time.
“Higher entities are capable of direct intervention in any
time,” says my dream Einstein, who proceeds to tutor me on the existence and nature
of five-dimensional (and higher-dimensional) beings who are not confined to the rules of
the universe, even the relative universe.
This is one of a series of dreams and visions in which
“Einstein” has appeared to mentor me on the structures of multidimensional
reality. Some of the dream information is extremely complex. I usually share this with
scientist friends who can compare this material with their own explorations in string
theory, particle physics and the nature of time. Sometimes we journey together, into a
shared dreamscape – like the scene in which a landscape is folded like a map, or the
courtyard beyond a Chinese gate where Einstein introduced me to Fu Tsi, the legendary
creator of the I Ching, and explained why the I Ching is an accurate model of the universe
and its patterns of manifestation.
Whether “my” Einstein is an aspect of myself, or a
fantasy figure, or a holographic legacy of a great mind, or the scientist himself, making
a visit from his research center on the other side, this ongoing dream series is
provocative and thrilling, and gets me thinking about what dreamers and scientists have to
offer each other.
In the wake of the Einstein revolution of 1905, physics became a
science of uncertainty, improvisation and wonder. It revealed that behind the seemingly
solid surface of things is an incredible dance of energy, or pure consciousness. It showed
us that time and space, as we experience them on the way to the office or to pick up the
kids from school, are not conditions for any other kind of life in the universe, merely
human conveniences (although they often seem more like inconveniences).
Today, the agreed “laws” of physics tell us
the following:
Ø Time travel into the
future is possible.
Ø
Time travel into the past may be possible.
(Einstein, in his time and in my dreamtime, maintains that it is not a physical possibility for a human body – but
allows, in the dream version, that it could be accomplished in other ways.)
Ø
There is no firm separation between subject and object in the universe. The observer and
the “outside world” he thinks he is observing are enmeshed together. Indeed, at
subatomic levels, it is the act of observation that plucks events from a soup of
possibilities.
Ø
Humans have an innate ability to communicate and influence people and objects across a
distance.
Ø
The mind is nonlocal. Consciousness acts outside the brain and outside spacetime.
Ø
Any event that occurs in the universe is immediately available anywhere as information.
Ø
Our experience of reality, like our experience of linear time, is a mental construct.
Change the construct, and we change our world.
The new physics shows us a universe that baffles common sense, a
universe that operates along utterly different lines from one in which the commuter train
leaves at 6:05 (if we’re lucky). Yet the findings of leading-edge physics have
brought us scientific confirmation of the worldview of shamans, mystics and dreamers, who
have always known that there is a place beyond surface reality where all things are
connected, a place beyond time where all times are accessible, and that consciousness
generates worlds
How do we bring all of this together with our lived experience,
our human needs, and our hopes for world peace and a gentle upward evolution of our
species?
Through dreaming.
Dreaming, we swim in the quantum soup of possibilities, where the
act of looking brings things into being. Dreaming, we discover the existence of alternate
realities and parallel worlds – including dimensions that escape human conceptions of
form – and can actively explore them. Dreaming, we confirm that consciousness is
never confined to the body and that we can reach people and objects at a distance.
Dreaming, we are time jumpers, able to visit (and possibly influence) both past and
future. Dreaming, we can experience the six (or seven) “hidden” dimensions of
physical reality, separated from our everyday sensory perception at the time of the Big
Bang, that are posited by string theory.
As dreamers, we can achieve experiential understanding of the
multidimensional universe that science is modeling.
As active dreamers and researchers inside multidimensional reality, we can contribute
in important ways to what will be – if we are lucky – the foremost contribution
of the twenty-first century to science and evolution: the emergence of a true science of
consciousness.
Experiencing and
documenting higher dimensions
I have been leading parties of dream explorers into the
alternate realities that physicists and mathematicians speculate about for many years. We
have experiences in perception that give us some first-hand clues as to what the
multiverse is like when perceived from inside the fifth dimension, and possibly higher
dimensions.
I remember the
thrill I experienced when I first noticed I was observing a whole room full of people from
every angle at once, simultaneously, as if my awareness at that moment was at every point
on the circumference of a sphere that contained the whole space. Some of us have had the
experience of perceiving a pulsing object we believe to be a tesseract – a “cube
of a cube”, as Mrs Whatsit explains to the children in A Wrinkle in Time – not the kind of thing you
see every day on the street with your eyes open. As in my dream with the Einstein figure,
where the landscape could be folded so points normally separate in space and time were
instantly connected, some of us have dreamed possibilities of traveling without moving
through hyperspace.
Active
dreamers who keep full and detailed records of their experiences can contribute mightily
to the emergence and understanding of new paradigms in science. Here are some of the
things we can contribute:
Ø
Case studies of interactive dreaming that will provide mutually confirming evidence that
consciousness is never confined to the brain.
Ø
Documented and witnessed reports of dream precognition, telepathy and other psi phenomena
that will establish that these are entirely natural events and that our everyday
experience is not the only engagement with time and space that is possible.
Ø
Serial dreams in which we return to locales where we seem to be leading a continuous life
as our present selves, but with some different elements in the scene. For example: we may
be married to a different person, living in a different town, following a different line
of work. Serial dreams of this type may provide strong experiential evidence for the
“parallel universes” hypothesis.
Ø
Serial dreams in which we enter the situation or perspective of people living in other
times or dimensions who are clearly not our familiar selves. These experiences may be
suggestive of our connectedness, in our multidimensional identity, with a vast family of
consciousness in many time periods and frequency domains.
Research inside
the dreamspace
More than studies about
dreams, we need active, dedicated research inside the
dreamstate. This will require training many more people in the core techniques of
conscious dreaming and shamanic journeying, as well as in recording their dreams and
working with their journals. We will need people prepared to journey deeper and deeper
into the dream matrix (I do not mean “The Matrix” in the movie sense but the
creative matrix where forms are generated) who can then study how these emerging forms and
images in turn provide templates for physical events, including events inside our physical
bodies. In group explorations I have been leading, we have been actively researching many
possibilities, including these:
Ø
Distant action and distant healing.
Ø
Time travel.
Ø
Changing the cellular memory of the body.
Ø
Exploring different frequency domains and the conditions for travel between them.
Ø
Parallel universes and timelines
Ø
Our connection with counterpart personalities in other times and dimensions..
Ø
How the events of physical life are generated from a creative matrix, accessible through
dream travel.
Ø
How, as we develop a true science of dream travel, we can become co-creators of our world.
