>What the fuck was up with the pink light?
That's basically the question Dick devoted his last 8 years to answer. You can read VALIS, Radio Free Albemuth, Divine Invasion and The Transmigration of Timothy Archer + of course the Exegesis for clarification, or rather Dick's attempts at answering it.

Robert Crumb did a comic based on Dick's own testimonies which shed's more light on it than the wiki entry you copypasted:

There's also the Pratt interview where he talks extensively about the experience:

Dick came up with a multitude of explanations for the phenomenon ranging from 'schizophrenia' to a Vast Active Living Intelligence System beaming concentrated information directly to his pineal gland.
