Quoting: Anonymous Coward 18237036 well, lets ask philip;) from his exegiesis: “What i realized is: true existence requires experience of both Yang and Yin: i saw them as two rings, a bright one of light (yang) and a darker one of Yin. but the latter still real and necessary…What was expressed last night in my vision of the dark-or darker-ring-or circle-of yin is that, as Ted Sturgeon speaks of, you voluntarily incarnate (e.g., as i did in 1928 as PKD) to deliberately experience Yin: creatoreal, irrational existence here (as bodhisattva) in order to know and to be Yin. the Yang side is the bright unfallen side and in salvador salvandus, ones other-and rational-self, who enters in order to rescue the Yin or limited or darkened, incarnated self. this is why the in-breaking of the Yang side (2-3-74) is anamnesis: recovered memory of ones own lost true self. this is also as extricating yourself from the maze by first being outside the maze-i.e, having solved it. otherwise, fruitless horizontal tracking goes on forever, once (voluntarily) incarnated you are stuck there (here) forever. so i am a unitary whole now, with one part as a direct antecedent from the upper realm (Thomas) and one (PKD) from the lower realm.” |

Life seems to have that same effect as one streams the dream till you die and wake up here again. To do it all over again. Suppose you realize this, suppose you know its bullshit and you want out but your trapped in the dream. Do you kill yourself next time around, do you kill others cause you know its a never ending dream cycle or do you live the life sentence throwing your wishfull consciousness onto the simultaneous strength and weakness of faith and hope. |

For us, phosphenes-stimulated coherently-permit us truely to see, overcoming our patial blindness. For them, who are deaf, they can see sounds- in particular music. But the communication bridge is established by the fact that color and music (light and sound) are equally based on math." -Dick |

I posted this because Dick beloved time as we know it (or knew it) ceased to exist during Roman empire 2000 years ago. And another theory says there's a loop happening during the 40's. If Romans invented the virtual reality, this altered reality of nazis makes we wonder, specially considering Nazis borrowed a lot from Romans including the double-headed emperial eagle, etc. Dick believed in a world ruled by tyrants... USA as a matter of fact hired Nazis (Operation Paperclip)... |

Dick book (The Divine Invasion), and once again, my reality has become stranger than normal. This happens to me only when I read Philip K Dick. Granted, his books do make you think about the fabric of reality, but I have read many authors like him and none of them affect me like his writing does. Quoting: Vonnegutian Synchronicity sky rockets. My eyes reach a word on the page and someone unaware of the book I am reading says that exact word at that exact moment. Songs on the radio seem to be there for me, like theme music to my life. Things that happen in his books start to happen to myself, or I read or hear about those same things happening elsewhere. I feel so lucid, not only mentally sharper but my vision is sharper, like someone squeegeed my eyeballs. My theory is that PKD did indeed tap into the source of reality and fed that information and way of thinking into his writing, so that the reader starts to pick it up and do the same. Or, perhaps I am just as crazy as he was. Anyone else afflicted with PKD syndrome? You tap into the quantum nature of existence when reading that kind of stuff. Its good for you. |
