Sorry but to put it bluntly, this point of view is essentially mystical, anti-intellectual, anti-science, anti-materialist. If you really want to take that point of view, there's maybe a few consistent/coherent ways to do it, but in that case you probably still want to read philosophy. Not bad essays by psychologists that are fading into irrelevance.

This guy in particular made his name with wild speculation about How Creativity Works during the 80s when it was more of a frontier. Now he's lived long enough to see a world where people that have never heard of him or his theories made computers into at least somewhat competent artists/poets without even consulting him. He's retreating towards mysticism because he's mad that his "formal and learned" theses about stuff like creativity have so little apparent relevance to the real world.
