Philip K. Dick is undoubtedly one of the greatest Gnostic visionaries and literary giants in all of history. Much of what Dick wrote or accurately predicted was channeled by a series of disturbing mystic events in the early seventies. He received Gnosis by various means from entities beyond reality, and his astral ideas still grip the imagination of the world. Yet what Dick revealed in his books and notes was only a fraction of his visions and theological insights. He actually wrote thousands of pages that were kept away from the general public, even decades after his death. Until now. We discuss the earth-shattering findings with a member of the editorial team. We discover more secrets of the visible and invisible cosmos; and also realize that it will take years to properly decipher what is more than an arcane religious text but living, holy information itself that might free the spirit of humanity once and for all.

More useless nonsense. This guy goes on and on and does not validate one single statement, ends up saying NOTHING.
My favourite quote from the intro - "actually the gap between, say Plato or Nietzche and the average human is greater than the gap between a chimpanzee and the average human" - where is it from?
Stephen,
It's from the Richard Linklater movie Waking Life.
