(derr : one has to wonder what it is PKD
thought he saw in 1974 ...)
quoting PKD :
Here is the secret & perpetual &
ever-growing victory by God over his adversary as he
(God) defeats him (Satan) again & again in the game
they play—the cosmic dialectic that I saw. This is
enantiodromia at its ultimate: the conversion of the
irreal to the real. In my case it was the conversion of
"the human intellect will not lead to God but will
lead only deeper & deeper into delusion" into its mir-
ror opposite: "The human intellect, when it has
pushed to infinity, will at last, through ever deepen-
ing delusion, find God." Thus I am saved: & know
that I did not start out seeing God (2-3-74) (which led
to this 6.5 year exegesis), but, instead, wound up
finding God (11-17-80)—an irony that Satan did not
foresee. & thus the wise mind (God) wins once again,
& the game continues. But someday it will end. -PKD
