- bena 7y agoMy point is that Philip K Dick was Philip K Dick. The I Ching didn't make him a brilliant artist. Neither did amphetamines. Neither did attempting suicide. He did all of those things and was a brilliant artist. Yes, he used aspects of his life to influence his art, but everyone does. Whether they realize it or not. So even had Philip K Dick not heard of the I Ching, he would have still produced brilliant work.
