According to Mr. Ord, the “second coming” is an on-going process, and it is contained within us — it is the awakening of all that you have forgotten. If the author is correct, then Your Forgotten Self puts us one step closer to heaven on earth.

“One can’t help but feel that much has been lost over time, in the current soul-deadening, scientific approach to dreaming. The Secret History of Dreaming is all about awakening and germinating a more active dreamlife — and Robert Moss leaves us wanting more — more of his books, but also more ideas, more traveling to other worlds, more creativity and more encounters with the divine. “
