Ultimately that's what I've been working on; I've been trying to
  (re) train the integrity of my intuition.

  I wish I could collect *everything* - even this is only a
  sampling of about 9000+ out of 23000 writings I've found. I
  downloaded all my FB data, G+, searched ancient Google, went to
  forums, old chat logs... and I'm STILL finding missing 'stuff'
  everywhere... but I had to 'draw a line in the sand' and say,
  "ok... it's A SAMPLE - let's see what it tells you".

  And I was kinda shocked honestly, because it fit better than I
  could've expected.

  I've also saved every website I went to for the past 2 yrs in a
  gigantic mess I have yet to sort out. I had to abandon that part
  of the project for now, but eventually I want to link up changes
  in my way of thinking based upon what I read or was interested
  in at the time.

  The answers are coming slowly but when they arrive with
  certainty, they've been unshakable, something I've never been
  able to do before.

  I can say with certainty that I think and process and experience
  via analogy. I can't speak for anyone else but at least I know I
  can say it for myself. And for me, that's a powerful thing. I
  can stand tall on it - and I came to the conclusion the LONG way
  - a very very long way, so it's very satisfying.
