The Making of Robert Moss
Robert Moss’s early years were anything but ordinary. Born in Melbourne, he faced serious illnesses as a child, including three near-death experiences that sparked a lifelong fascination with the unseen. Educated at Scotch College and the Australian National University, where he earned a BA and MA in history, Moss initially pursued academia, lecturing in ancient history. But the call of storytelling led him to journalism, where he reported from 35 countries for The Economist, and later to fiction, penning bestselling thrillers like Moscow Rules.
In 1986, Moss traded the fast-paced city life for a farm in Upstate New York. There, he began dreaming in an archaic Mohawk language, an experience that connected him to an ancient healer and reshaped his path. This pivotal moment birthed his passion for Active Dreaming, blending his scholarly roots with spiritual exploration.
