And by practical philosophy I mean magic.... The concept is simple the numbers and the shapes constructed from them are qualititively understood as representing elements of reality; for example the pentagram is the microcosm, the hexagram is unification.
The reason I am posting this here is I am aware of some stories of people using these methods and experiencing visual hallucinations and other sensory effects.
What this would involve would be using a set of definitions of each potential shape and then whenever experiencing that altered state of consciousness focusing on one of those shapes and an intention matching the principle it represents, then reporting back to me on how the experience occurs, what effect it has in the moment and over time.
If this is something appropriate for this subreddit and there is any interest I can post something describing the quality of the numbers and their use.
