Aha. Looking up Bodkin == stilleto, helped a lot.

When I tried to kill myself (leaving a freeway
offramp at high speed after longtime driving with
my thumb in right eye, as if I might pluck it out),
all my attention was rapt by God, that is, by an
intrusive authority pressuring me to kill myself.

At other times, ideas of reference would make the
radio seem to broadcast divine messages specific
to me, first enticing me with how I was loved, and
then changing to indict with God's disappointment.

So if Kinbote were schizophrenic, You could be God.
