Okay, so today I decided to dive into this whole “numerology” thing, specifically focusing on the number 17 and how it supposedly breaks down to 8, and what that all means in terms of “rational thought.” It sounded interesting, maybe a little out there, but hey, I’m always up for exploring new stuff.
Getting Started
First, I grabbed my notebook and pen – gotta keep things old school sometimes! Then, I spent a good chunk of time just reading about numerology basics. I mean, you can’t just jump into this stuff without some background, right? I learned that in numerology, you often reduce numbers down to single digits by adding them together. So, 17 becomes 1 + 7 = 8.
The Deep Dive into 17/8
Next, I started looking specifically at what 17 and 8 represent. Apparently, 17 is often associated with spiritual insight and independence, while 8 is linked to things like material success, power, and – here’s the key part – rational thinking. That’s where the title of this whole experiment came from.
Now The way that I understand it is that 17 is some high spiritual number and if you add 1 and 7, that is, 1 + 7, well, that result in 8. Ok, so that why it’s writen as 17/8.
My Personal Experiment
The practical part? Well, I decided to track my thoughts and actions throughout the day, paying close attention to moments where I felt particularly “rational” or “logical.” I jotted down notes in my notebook whenever I made a decision based on careful analysis, weighed pros and cons, or approached a situation in a very level-headed way.
- Morning: I spent a solid 30 minutes planning out my day, prioritizing tasks based on importance and deadlines. Very “8” of me, I think!
- Afternoon: I had a minor disagreement with a colleague. Instead of reacting emotionally, I took a deep breath and tried to see things from their perspective. We ended up resolving it calmly and rationally.
- Evening: I resisted the urge to impulse-buy something online and instead made a budget-conscious decision to save the money. Go me!
Wrapping Up
At the end of the day, I reviewed my notes. I have to admit, it was interesting to see how often I actually do rely on rational thought, even in small ways. Whether or not it’s all connected to the “power of 8” or whatever, I’m not totally sure. But, I found that It was a cool exercise in mindfulness and self-awareness, and I think it’s something I’ll continue to explore. Maybe there’s something to this numerology thing after all!
