G'day all,
For some time now, my profile shows that my average posts per day are 6.66. Now to some people this could be a bad omen.
What about you? Do you find that you try to avoid certain things because of "superstition"?
Well, are you superstitious?
When you were a zealous dub, were you still superstitious?
Just wondering.
Cheers, Ozzie
To me, admitting to be superstitious would be the equivalent of saying: "I'm stupid and ignorant, I don't understand the world around me or the relation between cause and effect and I fear imaginary beings who may be conspiring to do me harm in devilishly convoluted ways".
So no, I'm not superstitious.
Well I'm not superstitous, but the other day when I was givin change back after paying for gas the change came out to 9.11, made me stop and think for a minute.

I agree. I have no superstitions that I'm aware of. As a dub, I did try to find connectedness between my spiritual good or bad (as I percieved it then) behaviour, and things that would happen in my life. And of course, if you preconcieve a connection, you will find it, so I sometimes did. But, being fairly realistic at my core, the connection was always tennuous, and I usually left a little room for coincidence in events in my life.
Which btw, makes me think of something. Could there even be a more superstitious saying than: "there is no such thing as coincidence"?
As a witness I was afraid of the demons. Now I realize that demons were only in my head and I gave them life out of fear.
I believe in snychronicity.

I believe in snychronicity.
Hmmm. I believe in causality.
I tended to be a bit superstitious as a Dub, but when I left I relaxed much more about life and its quirks.
My boyfriend has besides a mobile phone, also a beeper for emergencies. My code for the thing is *I picked it* 666

I'm not superstitious but it does cause one to stop and think from time to time
