Time Is Not What You Think It Is. Neither Are You.

Welcome to a world where participants in psychology experiments respond to pictures they haven’t seen yet … where physicists influence the past behavior of a light beam by measuring its photons now … and where dreamers and writers literally remember their future. This landmark text explores the principles that allow the future to affect the present, and the present to affect the past, without causing paradox. It also deconstructs the powerful taboos that, for centuries, have kept mainstream science from taking phenomena like retrocausation and precognition seriously. We are four-dimensional creatures, and sometimes we are even caught in time loops—self-fulfilling prophecies where effects become their own causes.

This edition from Cup+Saucer Press has a new Foreword by Jeffrey J. Kripal (author of How To Think Impossibly).

Eric Wargo has a PhD in anthropology and is the author of several acclaimed books on time, the unconscious, and creativity, including From Nowhere, Precognitive Dreamwork and the Long Self, and Where Was It Before the Dream? He also writes about science fiction and parapsychology at his popular blog, The Nightshirt.

Jeffrey J. Kripal holds the J. Newton Rayzor Chair in Philosophy and Religious Thought at Rice University. He is the author of several books, including, most recently, The Superhumanities: Historical Precedents, Moral Objections, New Realities, also published by the University of Chicago Press.
