Our friend Darren from Brisbane, Australia, who also blogs about synchronicity, sent us this radio clip with author Peter May and a rather significant synchronicity concerning his book Lockdown.
May wrote the book in 2005 in a kind of creative fever and finished it in six weeks. He talks about it in his introduction, how the book was rejected by British publishers for being too far out there, too implausible etc. Now here we are.
I think this is an instance of precognition through creativity. We have a chapter on that in our book Sensing the Future. Yes, it’s been 15 years since he wrote the book, but I don’t think the passage of linear time makes any difference.When May was writing this novel, he was in that timeless space where writers go when they’re really hooked into what they’re writing. The world. the characters. The circumstances. And sometimes, that timeless space lies in our linear future.
Since we are living this nightmare, I’ll skip reading the book. But it’s fascinating how nonlinear time really is. Hope you are doing well while in your own lockdown.
The non-linear nature of time really is intriguing. Good to see you, DJan. I’m not reading the book now, either!
