The curious synchronicity of Philip K. Dick

In this video, we take a look at a strange and incredible synchronicity in the life of the author Philip K. Dick. And when he wrote a fictional story that somehow came true... Philip K. Dick is the author of 44 novels and 121 short stories including “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” It became the basis for the movie Blade Runner. In 1970, he wrote a novel called “Flow my tears, the Policeman said.” Reportedly, it’s the novel he wrote really quickly. The story just flowed onto the pages, as if he was channeling it. The story describes a 19 year old woman named Kathy. She has a husband named Jack. As the story unfolds, we find out that Kathy is actually working undercover for the police. She also has a secret relationship with the police inspector. A few months after finishing this novel, Philip would meet a real life woman named Kathy. And just like in his book, she was also 19 years old. She had a boyfriend named Jack. They were about to walk into a restaurant together, when Kathy said: “I can’t go in there.” “Why not?” Philip asked. She told him the truth: “I can’t go in there, because I have a relationship with that man… the police inspector.” Is this all a coincidence? It goes much deeper… Chapters: 00:00 - A made up story that somehow came true… 01:39 - Part One: Flow my tears, the Policeman said 04:35 - Philip K.
