The living receiver

Donnie is the living receiver. He has been pointed out to save the primary universe from mass destruction. The living receiver is often haunted by hallucinations, dreams and visions during the stay in the tangent universe. Concerned is given fourth dimensional power(s), such as strength and the ability to govern the elements of fire and water. Donnie’s conjure with fire (when he burns down Cunningham’s house) and water (him flooding the school) illustrates these examples given in The philosophy of time travel. The living receiver could be compared with Jesus, who sacrificed himself for humankind.

Dear Roberta Sparrow,

I have reached the end of your book

and there are so many questions that I

need to ask you.

Sometimes I am afraid of what you

might tell me. Sometimes I am afraid this

is not a work of fiction. I can only hope

that the answer will come to me in my

sleep.

I hope that when the world comes to an end,

I can breathe a sigh of relief, because there

will be so much to look forward to.

Donnie Darko

This was the letter that Roberta Sparrow finally got. Probably, she had been waiting for ages to receive a letter from a living receiver.
