I think adding 5 to 7 to get 12 is a pleasant
bit of addition. But I find 7 added to 5 to
be rather awkward.
You could do a mix of Dave Brubeck's 5/4 "Take Five" with Pink Floyd's 7/4 "Money". Setting Haiku's to music might work too.
I just find
XXXXXXX XXXXX
more pleasing than
XXXXX XXXXXXX
"Seven" has cachet
Maybe "Five" for a middle name?

I listened to a later or maybe one of the latest Eckhart Tolle podcasts last night on an apple podcasts. Hes getting better with age.
Some great nuggets. From memory: ‘There is no end to life…most people think death is the opposite of life - it isnt. Death is the opposite of birth.
‘Things aren’t ever really that serious as people believe, or as dramatic. So long as youre not dying, it’s just a happening. I like when i go to a cemetery and see a grave stone. Tupac Shakur 1971 - 1996.
His whole life, all the drama, fears and anxieties of the person, represented by a tiny dash on a large headstone between two numbers.Â’
Tupac maybe not the best example, he used Einstein but I forget his birth year.
As Watts pointed out which im repeating im sure. The date of birth is an arbitrary day used as a mere social convention. Why not when you were a dirty thought in your father’s mind. Less practical though as valid.
It dawned on me again last night listening to Tolle on form. The same mantra I’ve been preaching.
No new knowledge, just a deeper insight.
We really and truly allow a metaphorical dangling carrot to play tricks on us. Mostly.
But as he goes on to say, the trick is not to overthink the damn thing. Just exist bro.

Consciousness is the dynamic resonating entangled
feedback complex, maintained and evolving on the
border between classical and quantum, constantly
sensing and experiencing its existence.

Consciousness has a way of expressing itself through form.
Christof Koch was asked by Brian Greene if he would be so sympathetic to idealism if it wasnÂ’t for his breakthrough on 5-meo-DMT one night. Koch answered it would be most unlikely.
Of course I heard the follow up question coming before Brian even asked, which was whether drugs affected his ability as a scientist. Koch countered it beautifully.
ItÂ’s not as though Koch didnÂ’t sound like a physicalist for almost the entirety of their conversation. But the very final question Greene asked and KochÂ’s answer is 100 percent drug and mystic logic and much to his benefit, as he no longer fears death.
So I think itÂ’s an imperative to have psychedelics en masse for a lot of them. If Brian Cox railed one fat line of Ketamine and never touched substances again. He almost certainly be a greater person. Send him and De Grasse Tyson on a retreat to Mexico asap.

Before a serious psychedlic experience. The chemicals would simply enter my blood stream and cross the blood brain barrier and get my synapses firing and merely cause hallucinations.
After a psychedelic experience- shut up and calculate.
‘Hear, me out. Think webcam, but way bigger and in the middle of the street..’

Save some face, you know you've only got one
Change your ways while you're young
Boy, one day you'll be a man
Oh, girl, he'll help you understand
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Looking back at sunsets on the East Side
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Something's slide by so carelessly
Smile like you mean it

And someone is calling my name (from the back of the restaurant)
And someone is playing a game (in the house that I grew up in)
And someone will drive her around down the same streets that I did
On the same streets that I did
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it
Oh, no, oh, no, no, no
