Quo has said on multiple occasions (perhaps someone will dig up a quote) that our brain is a biological computer that is more powerful than what we have on the other side, and that much of the mental calisthenics we perform on a daily basis are part of the illusion and unimportant.
This universe which we view as a mechanism is actually a work of art, created organically, maintained by consciousness rather than mechanism. Perhaps from a more advanced, wholistic perspective numbers become unimportant and unnecessary. Even our own right brain hemisphere doesn't get them.
In terms of the validity of the material, Folk-Love, all that matters is what happens when you apply it to your own life. By their fruits you will know them, said Jesus, and the Buddha made the same point about putting every claim through the field-test of your own experience.
