VALIS is the cypher book to the whole 10 volume
meta-novel. And will someday be read as such.
"Valis" is Gnostic/Mani but secretly Holy Mother Church. As with God's strategy, the sequence is "out of sequence."
Viz: the key piece - VALIS - came last. Until it the others did not make sense - i.e., they were taken to have been written as fiction and hence hypothetical.
VALIS retroactively reinterprets them - shows them in a light that could not be anticipated by an analysis of them — until VALIS came out; typical of the pattern strategy of the wise horn in its dialectical combat-game.
Here is a big realization, and unexpected: VALIS in itself means nothing!
Its only significance is as the code book to the 10 volume meta-novel — and no one has noticed this yet.
