Just Do It

Nike knew Leonardo da Vinci was right all along: “Just Do It.” The original Nike logo was designed by graphic design student Carolyn Davidson while attending Portland State University in Portland, Oregon in 1971. Phil Knight, Nike founder, was working at the university as an accounting professor where they met.

This inspired phrase also applies in psychology, specifically when applying Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, DBT, techniques. Opposite action and mindfulness are powerful allies. Feeling anxious? “Just Do It.”

From the Blog / Let’s take a moment and tap the pulse of intuition by the numbers. Some things cannot be unseen once seen nor can their results be planned in advance. These are recent observations as to the performance of a post on LinkedIn. It appears my audience and the algorithm agree with me. Upon further inspection there’s a clear message coming through: intuition. Quite curious or am I hallucinating?

First, let’s take a closer look at the time of each screen grab. Deciphering the times for 7:04 and 9:38 reveal an 11 sum twice for 7+4 and 3+8. Next there’s the 9th hour from the later time along with 243 and 117 impressions from the two top performing post where both equal 9. So that’s 3 9s with their sum being 27, my lucky number.

Then there’s another instance for the 37 of 3 “weekly sharing tracker” actions completed. 37 multiplied by 3 is 111. One last note: the battery life is 45% and then later 5%. 45 multiplied by 5 equals 225. Their sum is 9. So as you can see there are clear signs of 11, 9, and 27 riddled throughout the results if we know where to look. There’s even an eleventy-one reference in there, too.

Do you see where I’m going with all of these happy accidents? There’s something quite uncanny, possibly even cosmic about these results. These screen grabs have not been altered except cleaning up the white pixel frame around the Renaissance ≠ GenAi$$ance logotype. No other alterations or manipulations have occurred.

Some folks may chuckle at this post and just chalk the whole thing up to me orchestrating the entire experience through planned manipulation. However, those who know me know fair well I’m 100% legit. When I saw the post’s impressions go to 111 and the total post impressions go to 1,111 that’s when my ears perked up, and I acted. I did not check in at any point prior to that first time at 7:04 pm and later at 9:38 pm attempting to sway this outcome. I took screen grabs at these two completely random times.

There’s nothing all that deep going on here. I’m just having some fun with the effects of numbers, and the coincidental nature of how they relate to the Renaissance ≠ GenAi$$ance cause. While wrapping up this blog post my login code contained two more 27s set in a mirrored string: 027720. Too good to be a coincidence, right? Ah, just found two more: 222 profile viewers last 90 days can be reconfigured to 11 three times or 1 six times, and 2,610 followers becomes the sum of the individual numbers equals 27.

While a Renaissance stimulates the mind expanding our creativity without limits, the GenAi$$ance destroys the mind and weakens our superpowers. Relying on AI has proven to dull our intuition leaving us with two left feet leading to rapidly decreasing IQ scores. Even big tech giants have discovered through their own research their teams are quite rapidly losing their critical thinking skills.

GenAi has become the proverbial cherry on top of the zombie apocalypse, and those blazing the trail are doing it all in plain sight. Rise up for true 11:11 mindsets and say “no” to the lowest common denominator: GenAi. What is 11:11? When we see these numbers repeating in our daily lives it is a direct link to our intuition. As our intuition strengthens seeing these patterns increases.

In 2022 a monumental tome was printed in the rolling hills of Italy. Leonardo. The Complete Paintings and Drawings weighing in, once bound, revealed a mirrored string in notable Leonardo da Vinci fashion. 29.92 ounces. That number also holds another string. 9+2 & 9+2 reveals eleven-eleven, 11:11. That numerical duality refers to activated intuition, a heightened view of reality. Leonardo wielded it painting the very fabric of the universe through every intentional stroke of genius. While da Vinci did not finish many of his paintings, his notebooks are beyond measure. He was not only a master inventor, he understood the invisible connections that tie everything together. “Learn to see. Realize everything connects to everything else,” he once mused.

If you’re an artist, designer, curious child or lifelong tinkerer you know full well the significance of what that means in a spiritually cosmic sense. If not, do yourself a favor and check out Kaitlyn Kaerhart. She is a master of numerology, and a resource for understanding how numbers hold weight in our lives if we are willing to learn to see them. I’ve been fascinated with numbers, puzzles, riddles, and word jumbles since I was very young. I come from a long line of polymaths on both sides of my family. Biology professors, master gardeners, farmers, inventors, fine artists, crochet quilters, Scrabble wizards, Spades champions, chess masters, and code breakers. I grew up surrounded by mind benders met with mental maladies, true forces to be reckoned with.
