on my encounters with VALIS

Whenever their are two opposing forces and neither of them represent love and compassion, the whole conflict is a sham. Love and compassion over conflict is the only true conflict. The meta-conflict, I guess.

Conflict for the goal of more love and compassion is in fact the defusing of conflict.

Our culture is devoid of sacred art and our organized religions are systems of control instead of systems of spiritual liberation and so we must develop our own mystical practices and also make sacred art in a way that is indivisible from this process. This is one of the tenets of Valism.

I have a system related to Valism, The Force, Jung's Red Book, and The League of the Secret Knot and I must develop the system and also make the art/music/stories as part of the practice.

God exists and God does not exist. Both are true for us simultaneously because we are beings that straddle two contradictory realities. Matter and Meaning. Each reality works on different principles. God exists in the Meaning Realm and in the Matter Realm he only exists through our Divinely Inspired Actions. Where we act out of love and compassion he exists in the Matter Realm. When we work to create beauty and harmony in the world, that is how God exists in the Matter Realm. When we are too busy or too selfish, or too jaded or too bitter or too in pain to do these things, God is absent from the Matter Realm.

Your homoplasmate, the spirit that crossbonds with your physical form is something that you can lose or you can feed and grow until it blossoms. The Empire works to kill your homoplasmate through inhuman systems.

interesting that Dick claimed that the Plasmate was killed in 70CE and was reborn in 1945CE. He claims that the intervening years didn't really take place. In spiritual terms he claims they were non-existent and this is one of the ways in which "The Empire Never Ended." I'm curious about how this coincides with Jack Parsons, Crowley, the advent of LSD, the explosion of the nuclear bomb. And so he claims that we are now in the end times now that the plasmate has been revived and that
