What is the Source of Creative Genius? with Eric Wargo

Eric Wargo, PhD, an anthropologist, is author of Time Loops, Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self: Interpreting Messages From Your Future, From Nowhere: Artists, Writers, and the Precognitive Imagination, Becoming Timefaring: Time Travel & the Human Future, and most recently Where Was It Before the Dream? His website is https://www.thenightshirt.com/

In this interview he focuses on the creative works of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Mary Shelley, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Franz Kafka. He suggests that their creative genius often stems from a precognitive anticipation of their own lives, and particularly how their individual works will impact themselves in later life.
