realms crafted by J.R.R. Tolkien, George MacDonald, and C.S. Lewis, the motif of innocence and childlikeness serves as a profound lens through which to explore complex themes and moral dilemmas.

Humanity has always maintained a strong bond between thought and action. It is through our ethical and moral beliefs that we reinforce our mentality on life. In both Out of the Silent Planet by C.S. Lewis and The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch by Phillip K. Dick, the protagonists and the story interact in a similar fashion.
