Philip K. Dick

I am tied to Philip K. Dick by fate, among other things. We are brothers, or more correctly, we are twins. He wrote on more than one occation that he believed himself to be in contact with someone whom he named Thomas (which means twin), though he seemed to picture Thomas as one who lived in apostolic times. Then again, he thought at times that we all were actually living in apostolic times, that the better part of 2000 years were a sort of “fake” time, that real time had frozen way back when. He also seemed confused between Thomas and his own existence in eternity. Which sort of makes sense, since in February and March of 1974 (2-3-74) he had suddenly had the Halospace open in his mind.

I am able to explain a few things. Count it as my CV for the position of Thomas. For one, he saw what he said was a great pink light, and I know what that was. In my own visions, I saw at one point a silvery swirling cosmic egg split, and the two resultant lights that came from it: one was pink and one was light blue. I saw the pink light pass by and away, but the light blue light entered me. It was me. And that pink light I did not know for the longest time, not until 25 years after it had happened, that that was what it had been: it was him. And further, he’s actually not pink: it was red infused with light, which made it look so. His color is red, as mine is blue. I might go into what these colors might mean in another post. Maybe.

It may be that he was so clued out about what and/or who his twin was so that I, being him, would have no idea about it, either. But like many things that he left in the air, I nailed it down. Where he got 8,000 handwritten pages of ideas? It had been balled up in an eight hour long vision of what he called modern art forms he experienced early on. I myself had such an experience, minimally so, when I had a dream that God the Father showed me a little of the Kingdom of Heaven. Phil was a saint. He was a prophet. He was human. Was he right about anything? He was right about everything. As we progress through the years, his books: they don’t reflect reality, because they came first, unless you’re talking about reflecting was to come: reality more and more reflects his books.

It has been observed that Philip K. Dick books come upon you at just the right time as to be able to absorb them. Such was the case for me, at least for two of them: A Scanner Darkly, when I had been into the drugs scene in college; and VALIS, when I was experiencing things divine in scope. Yea, verily: the Force was strong in this one. Now look around you; did this, what you are looking at, did it come at some synchronistic time? Then this would be my evidence, that I were his twin through time. If this seems instead to be some random writing that you happened, even better: this is your introduction to the weird (a word that once meant “fate”). I’ll see about coming up with more on how we are tied, PKD and me. As he wrote to me once, “The theory changes the reality it describes.” Yes, weird.



Fight!

First, arm yourself with Philip K. Dick’s two proclamations: “We have always already won,” and “The theory changes the reality it describles.” Now, the technique by which you fight: faith and logic. If you only have one, go with logic, but if you have both, let faith precede logic. If you can, believe in Jesus Christ, and in following him will you always go where you need to go. When you think you have him working in you, how do you feel? If you experience within as to seem like a conquering avenger, ready to smite down any adversary, you’re on the wrong track. If you feel humble and flawed, you’ve got the right ticket.

What you’re fighting for is the Logos. This is what Christ is sometimes called, also known as the Word (of God). But we will use the term Logos for these purposes, for Logos is related to logic, giving you a standpoint of “right logic”. What I wrote above, that of faith and logic, this could be a sense of what Logos means. And what you fight against is derangement, the twisting of logic to evil ends, of making lies and perverting of reality to make those lies seem as if true. What the bad guys want most of all is power, and then riches. To them, the most you’ll ever be is a means to an end.

As far as if one is making a real difference, remember that Satan was ultimately defeated by Our Lord Jesus Christ on the cross—it did not mean there was no more work to be done. Also remember the Bible when it says that those who show hospitality to strangers may have entertained angels thereby. [Hebrews 13:2] That if you do something on the side of Logos, it might turn out to be an important thing in the War that was fought. That we are fighting. That we will continue fighting, on and on, for billions of angels fought on in the War. Most likely, there will be important battles which so far have not played out where eternity will touch down in the timestream.

Another way of thinking about Logos vs. Derangement: sense vs. madness. Also, understanding vs. heartlessness. If you can undo damage caused by the derangement, if indeed you can steer madness back to sanity, this is indeed a blow for the side of right. If you can set your own self straight, it might be that a skirmish happened there, in your sensibilities. Fight for reason, for this is another name of the Logos. Do everything in the spirit of love, for this is what moves us all.

The instruction I give you is very earthly in nature. What is the difference between just doing good and fighting for the Logos? Being a good boy scout and doing your good deed for the day is all well and fine, but we’re looking for a little more. The Lord spoke of it: when someone strikes you on the cheek, turn the other; when someone steals your shirt, give him your jacket, also. Be incomprehensible to evil. In that way will you be called a child of God, who is Himself love, incomprehensible.
