What if genius isn't talent at all, but a glitch in time? A portal opening to futures not yet arrived? Throughout history, extraordinary artists and thinkers have described their creative process not as invention but as transmission – receiving fully-formed visions, melodies, equations and ideas from somewhere beyond themselves.

William Blake claimed he could see "the past and the present and the future all existing at once." Mozart reportedly heard entire symphonies in his mind before writing a single note. Bob Dylan has described his songs as arriving almost complete. These accounts suggest something profoundly mysterious about the creative process – that it might be less about making something new and more about accessing something that already exists somewhere else in time.

In this mind-expanding conversation with Suzanne Clores, we explore the possibility that time isn't linear but more like a landscape that certain sensitive individuals can traverse. Remote viewers can sketch events months before they happen. Artists produce work that seems impossibly ahead of their era. Scientists suddenly grasp concepts that won't be proven for decades. What if these exceptional minds aren't creating at all, but translating visions from beyond our timeline?

The implications are both thrilling and unsettling. If time truly operates this way, our understanding of reality itself must shift. Perhaps genius isn't a rare gift bestowed on few but a capacity we all possess in varying degrees – the ability to step outside our moment and glimpse what lies beyond, bringing back treasures from these journeys into the unknown. Whether through meditation, artistic practice, or natural sensitivity, we may all have the potential to access this extraordinary dimension of experience.
