" Triad examines the parallel development of psychoanalysis and quantum physics in the early part of the century. Next to physics and psychoanalysis the book also explores the Jewish cultural connection. This, the third element of the triad, takes the reader from provincial ghetto to Budapest café society, from Kabbalah to enlightenment, from the mysteries of the universe to the mysteries of the universe. Numerous and unexpected family ties between the practitioners of the various arts enlivens the author's exploration of the counterintuitive theories, and monumental discoveries which have changed our lives. The historical novel format allows the author to probe and expound the major themes of the book: the role of the unconscious in the creative process, the evolution of radical ideas, the importance of cultural and family history, the role of professional rivalry, jealousy, friendship and hero worship. A fascinating and unusual book with a rich, rich cast - Sandor Ferenczi, George de Hevesy, Sigmund Freud, Niels Bohr, Wolf Pappenheim, Ernest Rutherford, Carl Jung, Wolfgang Pauli, Ernst Mach, Michael Heilprin, Kurt Godel, John von Neumann, Fritz Paneth, Paul Bernays, Rudolf Ortvay, Wolf Pascheles, Toni Freund, Leopold Breuer, Gizella Ferenczi, Joseph Paneth, Elma P los, Baruch Fraenkel, Lajos Levy, Samuel Hammerschlag, Joseph Breuer, Lou Andreas-Salome and Rabbi Moses Schreiber, the Chatam Sopher - to name but a few."

Invoking Mnemosyne--Greek goddess of memory and eloquence, daughter of Heaven and Earth, mother of the Muses, and archetypal deity of the Asklepion dream temple tradition--this book initiates you into full dream consciousness, offering a lucid-dreaming ritual experience in the spirit of the Mystery Schools of antiquity. Explaining how a conscious dream life is essential for self-discovery, deep integration, and healing, lucid-dreaming instructor Sarah Janes presents exercises, techniques, and initiations to help you explore the inner depths of your psyche. These realms, accessible through dreams, can help you to form a better understanding of who you are.
Sharing her more than a decade of research on Sleep Temples and Mystery Schools of the Esoteric Tradition, Sarah explores the evolution of imagination, memory, and consciousness throughout the ages and proposes that dreams have been fundamental in the creation and development of culture. Dreams play an important role in ancestor worship, afterlife beliefs, animism, religion, and wisdom traditions. Sarah reveals how dreams offer us an opportunity to remember and directly experience our divinity, to transcend the limitations of our mortality and enter timeless, imaginal realms.
Employing the power of story to affect the mind and lay down new neural pathways--as if one were really living the story--Sarah begins each initiatory chapter with a psychodramatic narrative. Using symbolism and powerful imagery, these stories help you generate the perfect dreams for each stage in the initiation. And by becoming a better dreamer, you can make better, more aware decisions in your waking life.
