DICK PHILIP K.: (1928-1982) American science fiction writer. T.L.S., Love, Phil (with a small ink drawing of a love heart and arrow alongside his signature), one page, 4to, n.p. (Santa Ana, California), 14^th January 1981, to Professor Patricia Warrick ('Dear Pat'). Dick commences his letter stating 'I was drawing up a list in my mind of the qualities or aspects or elements that I found in God or connected with God, and the list is awesome', continuing with his ten point list ('Absolute beauty (Pythagoras' kosmos.), Absolute reason (The Logos.) Absolute structure (The macrometasomakosmos.)…..Infinite time (eternity) Absolute and infinite love (agape)……Infinite kindness Infinite patience' etc.) and remarking 'As him extended in space or in his mind as a conception (either will do) world becomes infinitely beautiful and structured and lawful and orderly…..He manifests an absolutely wise rule in the form of law, the natura naturens of Spinoza (a term taken over from the Medieval Scholastics). Note that on this list I do not include absolute being (einai) or absolute consciousness, two of the three aspects of Brahman. For some reason I was not aware of them. That does not mean that they do not exist, but I would identify his absolute being with the absolute reality of the world-order (showing the influence of Spinoza on me)'. Dick concludes by adding 'This is an impressive list. Would it seem to you, from this list, that indeed it was God that I experienced? I would think so. The list seems to point to it'. A letter of interesting content. Accompanied by the original envelope. About EX
