Real Writing Wonder

More From Philip K. Dick

I have a hard time writing. most writers have a hard time writing. i have a harder time than most because i'm lazier than most. [...] the other problem i have is fear of writing. the act of writing puts you in confrontation with yourself, which is why i think writers assiduously avoid writing. [...] not writing is more of a psychological problem than a writing problem. all the time i'm not writing i feel like a criminal. [...] it's horrible to feel felonious every second of the day. especially when it goes on for years. it's much more relaxing actually to work.
Writing Hard Times Thinking
Wonder is like grace, in that it's not a condition we grasp; it grasps us. wonder is not an obligatory element in the search for truth. we can seek truth without wonder's assistance. but seek is all we'll do; there will be no finding. unless wonder descends, unlocks us ... truth is unable to enter. wonder may be the aura of truth, the halo of it. or something even closer. wonder may be the caress of truth, touching our very skin.
Grace Touching Skins
Why are there beings at all instead of nothing? that is the question. presumably it is not arbitrary question, "why are there beings at all instead of nothing"- this is obviously the first of all questions. of course it is not the first question in the chronological sense [...] and yet, we are each touched once, maybe even every now and then, by the concealed power of this question, without properly grasping what is happening to us. in great despair, for example, when all weight tends to dwindle away from things and the sense of things grows dark, the question looms.
Dark Despair Example
The physical universe that you see is all in your mind. when you turn your mind off, or become unconscious, the physical universe, for you, disappears. then, when you awaken your consciousness, the universe reappears magically. quite simple really - no thoughts on your part, no physical world. as walt whitman succinctly stated: "the whole theory of the universe is directed unerringly to one single individual - namely to you." without your mind to process it, the universe simply disappears into nothingness.
Simple Mind World
For myself, i like a universe that, includes much that is unknown and, at the same time, much that is knowable. a universe in which everything is known would be static and dull, as boring as the heaven of some weak-minded theologians. a universe that is unknowable is no fit place for a thinking being. the ideal universe for us is one very much like the universe we inhabit. and i would guess that this is not really much of a coincidence.
Knowledge Science Thinking
If your message to the universe is gimme, gimme, gimme, the universe's response back to that kind of mentality is exactly the same. the universe will say right back to you over and over again, gimme, gimme, gimme. if you shift that and you say to the universe, to the world, how may i serve? how may i serve? the universe's response back to you is how may i serve you? how may i serve you?
