Anthony Peake is a writer who deals with borderline areas of human consciousness. His first book, Is There Life After Death? was published in 2006 and since then he has gone on to develop his own ideas together with exploring the latest areas of research in his field. Peake brings to the fore cutting-edge research in neuroscience and metaphysics.

His seventh book, A Life of Philip K Dick The Man Who Remembered the Future delves heavily into the psychological, neurological, and gnostic background of the writer. Topics of discussion will include what is the origin of the many PKD experiences; what can it tell us about the nature of reality, are we living in a simulation. Join us for this riveting talk on PKD The Man Who Remembered The Future.

Erik Davis discusses his book 'High Weirdness - Drugs, Esoterica, and Visionary Experience in the Seventies'.

A study of the spiritual provocations to be found in the work of Terence McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson and Philip K. Dick, 'High Weirdness' charts the emergence of a new psychedelic spirituality that arose from the American counterculture of the 1970s. These three authors changed the way millions of readers thought, dreamed, and experienced reality, but how did their writings reflect, as well as shape, the seismic cultural shifts taking place in America?

In 'High Weirdness', Davis - America's leading scholar of high strangeness - examines the published and unpublished writings of these vital, iconoclastic thinkers, as well as their own life-changing mystical experiences.

He explores the complex lattice of the strange that flowed through America's West Coast at a time of radical technological, political, and social upheaval to present a new theory of the weird as a viable mode for a renewed engagement with reality. We ask 'What is real?', 'What is normal?', 'What are facts?', 'What is truth?' and find that reality is unstable and that the world is considerably more malleable than it at first appears.

Anthony Peake | Philip K Dick - The Man Who Remembered the Future, December 18, 2013

December 18, 2013–Anthony Peake is an author, speaker and a member of the Institute of Noetic Sciences, The Scientific & Medical Network and the Society for Psychic Research. He is known for his hypothesis that suggests that human consciousness survives the physical death of the body by falling out of time. He calls this process "Cheating The Ferryman" and also his hypothesis that all human beings consist of two centers of consciousness. Borrowing from Gnostic terminology he calls these "The Daemon" and "The Eidolon."

He returns to discuss his latest book, A Life of Philip K Dick - The Man Who Remembered the Future. Philip K. Dick was a hugely influential writer who drew upon his own life to address the nature of drug abuse, paranoia, schizophrenia, and transcendental experiences of all kinds.

In the first hour, we discuss the many films inspired by Dick's stories, such as Blade Runner, A Scanner Darkly, Total Recall, and Minority Report. We'll talk about Philip's strange life experiences such as his reported theophany and his visionary experiences documented in the Exegesis of Philip K. Dick. Peake explains Philip's orthogonal time idea and presents fascinating evidence that Dick may have been, as he termed the state in many of his novels and short stories, a "precog" - a person that can see the future. -redicecreations.com

Back in Time Series | Rare 1979 Philip K. Dick interview

Source: LucidMaui youtube



Philip Kindred Dick (December 16, 1928 – March 2, 1982) was an American novelist, short story writer and essayist whose published work is almost entirely in the science fiction genre. Dick explored sociological, political and metaphysical themes in novels dominated by monopolistic corporations, authoritarian governments, and altered states. In his later works Dick's thematic focus strongly reflected his personal interest in metaphysics and theology.

In addition to 44 published novels, Dick wrote approximately 121 short stories, most of which appeared in science fiction magazines during his lifetime. Although Dick spent most of his career as a writer in near-poverty, ten popular films based on his works have been produced, including Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darkly, Minority Report, Paycheck, Next, Screamers, and The Adjustment Bureau. In 2005, Time magazine named Ubik one of the one hundred greatest English-language novels published since 1923. In 2007, Dick became the first science fiction writer to be included in The Library of America series.

Philip K. Dick Documentary



Philip K. Dick is considered by many to be one the world's greatest science fiction writers ever; as a sufferer from mental illness himself he had the ability to turn his hallucinations about the universe into an extraordinary writing career.

During his lifetime, Dick produced an astonishing amount of prize winning novels and short stories, which were translated into more than 25 languages. Three of his literary works were transformed into blockbuster movies: Blade Runner, Minority Report and Total Recall.

Several years before his death, Philip started having mystical experiences that affected his everyday life. As a result, he started to wonder if what he had imagined for his stories was real and if life was just an illusion or the creation of each person's subjectivity.

This in-depth program explores Philip K. Dick`s world, a universe full of mysteries and intrigues.

"Partial manifestation, the wall circumscribing the "reality" of the savage to protect civilizations from "primitoid" madness. (Primitoid is a word I coined for those imprisoned within their own incredulity.) Some of my friends may recall my mention of partial manifestation. Mr. Dick here, has discovered it." –James Horak
