Synopses & Reviews
Become a KairomancerSynchronicity is when the universe gets personal. Through this book of games and enchanting stories, youll learn how to monitor the play of coincidence and the symbolic resonance of incidents in daily life in order to tap into the deeper logic of events, receive extraordinary counsel, and have wonderful fun.
You will be invited to become a kairomancer: someone who is poised to catch the messages in special moments when synchronicity is in play and to take action to seize the opportunities those moments present. To be a kairomancer, you need to trust your feelings as you walk the roads of this world, to develop your personal science of shivers, and to recognize in your gut and your skin that you know far more than you hold on the surface of consciousness.
This is a way of real magic, which is the art of bringing gifts from a deeper world into this one. Follow it, and you will put a champagne fizz of enchantment into your everyday life.
Review
Sidewalk Oracles is CPR for the soul.”
— Larry Dossey, MD, author of One Mind
After using Robert Mosss eighteen games for playing with signs, symbols, and synchronicity, I can attest to the incredible value, as well as delight, in following his guidance.”
— Joyce Hawkes, PhD, author of Cell-Level Healing
Robert Moss is peerless in shifting us from seeing our life as boring and ordinary to seeing it as filled with meaningful messages and magic.”
— Stephen Dinan, CEO, The Shift Network
Jung defined synchronicity as a just-so moment that unexpectedly provokes a meaningful discovery or connection. Sidewalk Oracles gives us a delightful sampling from Robert Mosss life of just-so stories and encounters. It may just trigger you into remembering a personal moment of secret happiness that you had forgotten. May it be so!”
— Ralph Metzner, author of The Well of Remembrance
Synopsis
Renowned author Robert Moss turns a career spent investigating the power and purpose of the unconscious and dreams into a delightfully accessible guide to putting the magical realm of multiverse into work for readers every day. As what he calls a kairomancer,” readers learn to see and use the truly marvelous multidimensional universe. No exceptional knowledge is needed to do so; the tools Moss highlights simply allow people to utilize, rather than brush off, the signs they encounter every day the synchronicity, the mysterious, the hair-standing-on-end moment of wonder. Asking us to instead fully recognize these marvels, Moss offers specific techniques for posing our questions and reading the symbols we then receive. Instead of walking through life tuned into an unproductive inner soundtrack, the kairomancer feels the sidewalk she treads, hears the messages awaiting receipt, and sees the extraordinary in the ordinary.
