Art and the Precognitive Imagination
“Long story short, I think we all receive oblique and foggy signals from our future self when we are creating, just as folklore insists we do when we sleep. Whether it is a 10-year-old foreshadowing a future learning experience in a random school assignment, an avant-garde painter depicting a life-changing injury in his canvases, or an acknowledged literary genius somehow foretelling the manner of their own death, creative people frequently seem to act as seismographs for life-quakes ahead.”
