Ancient wisdom can be transmitted from masters of one age to students in another through dreams and visions called “mind-treasures.” Mind treasures are teachings found in consciousness rather than sacred objects or texts in the physical world. Open yourself to the treasures herein, deposited long ago for the benefit of the future age in which they have now been found. In the beginning, I did not understand how one collects lessons that have been deposited for safekeeping by those who have gone before. I was about to discover, with eyes wide awake, just how powerfully these lessons can be delivered. And rather than being stored for future discovery in arcane books, or in treasure chests in caves, these lessons are stored in visions, dreams, in the experience of sacraments and rituals, in the hard-to-reach altered states encountered by those who yearn for and search for answers to the deepest existential questions. Enjoy the adventure of discovering these buried treasures!
