The Exegesis Of Philip K. Dick - 1st Edition

One day the contents of my mind moved faster and faster until they ceased being concepts and became percepts, I did not have concepts about the world but perceived without preconception or even intellectual comprehension. It then resembled the world of UBIK. As if all the contents of one's mind, if fused, became suddenly alive, a living entity, which took off within one's head, on its own, saw in its own superior way, without regard to what you had ever learned or seen or known. The principle of emergence, as when nonliving matter becomes living. As if information (thought concepts) when pushed to their limit became metamorphosed into something alive.
