Dick, because it seems to like an example of the potentiator of the spirit striking someone who is not completely ready for the contact. If you are unfamiliar with his experiences I found a version of his story illustrated by Robert Crumb here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/10863883/Rober...lip-K-Dick though the quality is not great.
Apologies if this reply is found to be off-topic.
That was really interesting. I read some of Dick's science fiction back in that time period, but had no idea he had experienced anamnesis.
By the way, Robert Crumb is one of my favorite artists. I have a lot of his comic stuff.
I love Crumb too, I have a whole bunch of collections of his comics and art. I also really love his bluegrass records

Also if you are interested in reading more about PKD's experiences I'd recommend his semi-autobiographical work VALIS.
