1. You said recently that GD wasn't an ideal path for you, and divination indicated to me that it isn't for me either (GS/FHR looks much more favorable). What kind of person is GD ideal for?
2. If divination is about developing intuition, why is it that people continue to use it even after being occultists and developing their intuitive capacities for decades?
3. Reflecting on your experience seeing people change their ideals on a dime (e.g. appropriate tech in the '80s, or over the recent jabs), does this not strike you as some kind of egregore or group mind phenomenon, albeit one where consciousness degrades or devolves rather than ascends?
I would agree with your contention that the problem now is not weak or shallow thinking, it's no thinking at all. Malign enchantment seems a fine description of it.
And a comment:
4. I used the numerology posts from early this year as a basis for meditations on past years. It turns out this year for me personally is a 7 year, and therefore so too were 2013 and 2004. Interestingly, these were all years of major difficulties for me, and also major turning points in my life. This has been the least difficult 7 year I can fully remember, but possibly that is because I've tried to learn from it and have done much more to refrain from willingly partaking of bad karma, harmful actions, etc. Still, it has been a year of obstacles, delays and worries -- fitting for the number of Saturn. I expect to come out of it with a renewed focus and sense of purpose.
That is to say, the numerology oracle is quite useful in my case. Thanks!
