I know ideological stances inhibit what can be gathered from pure experience... I've come to realize mindful, logical, linear-thinking - while relatively necessary and relatively 'true' - is ultimately irrelevant. It means verrrry little in the face of pure experience. For women, this almost seems common sense... For men, it seems to be something which is difficult to come to terms with. While immersed in the psychedelic experience, logic does make sense and seems to be congruent with pure experience or pure BE-ing, but it seems to be of a lower nature than it's right-brain counterpart.... ultimately an inhibitor of BE-ing if taken too seriously (as our world certainly does).

I used to be into Numerology a bit... Specifically, the Life Path aspect of it all... For many people, the Life Path did seem to accurately fit those who I was curious about... people I'm very close to and know a lot about... it was literally uncanny... it blew my mind... I was aware of the fact that it may have been just myself reading into it too much and projecting certain things onto others or that it I was simply seeing what I wanted to see; I was aware of all that... yet it still seemed to accurate... sooo weird.

Anyone else here that used to dabble in Numerology and/or Life Paths? I'm not into it so much anymore, I still find it somewhat fascinating.... What conclusions have you all reached?

P.S. In the land of Numerology, my Life Path is 11.

So you think logic is bullshit because it doesn't make sense when you are tripping?

hahaha I can see with a name like "iThink" I might have pushed a button or two of yours..... Caaaaalllllllm yourself..... That's not what I said, brother.... Direct experience and intuition are primary... with logic being secondary... That's more of what I mean/have come to learn. We, as moderns, give logic too much creedence. I removed that part of my post.... it was more of a pretext anyway.... I don't need a bunch of reactive shroomerites following suit!

And you really should have just quoted that first paragraph instead of the whole thing since you were reacting to the first part. But I forgive you.

Declaring something as your top priority has nothing to do with numerology.

Exactly - and numerology is hardly direct experience. It is about connecting unconnected dots using a biased filter looking for meaning in numbers where there is none.
