In VALIS Dick depicted Christ as Horselover Fat (who had evolved from Confession of a Crap Artist’s Jack Isidore), which means Dick (as H. Fat) contains Christ. Again he puffs up VALIS as an unparalleled work of art. In real life Dick is consumed by doubt but as H. Fat in VALIS this doubt is converted into absolute faith. H. Fat is a fool who finds Christ, so Dick is curious if that makes Dick himself the fool. After seeing God he feels like he is stuck back in purgatory and wonders if he needs to model himself after the fool H. Fat / Jack Isidore if he is to be saved.
