Finding Primes Using The Number 3

Away back when in one of my blogs I was advancing the theory that this universe is based on the number 3. For instance, we have 3 dimensions, length, width and height. Three strikes and you’re out. Things, good or bad, usually happen in 3’s. Most discussions have 3 major points. Traffic lights usually have 3 lights, red for stop, yellow for caution and green for go. You are usually given 3 chances to accomplish something. Most people can only remember 3 things on a list. The triangle, consisting of 3 sides is the strongest form of construction. The people you know in your life can be classified as acquaintances, friends and soulmates. If you organize a speech, tell them what you are going to say, say it and tell them what you said. Anyway, I got to thinking about primes again. Prime numbers are numbers that you can only divided evenly by themselves and one. For instance 17 is a prime number. It can only be divided evenly by itself and 1. If you divide 17 by any number that precedes it the answer is a fraction (Ex: 17/4 = 4 ¼ ). If you look at a table of prime numbers you will see their last digit is a 1, 3, 7 or 9 once you get beyond 1 digit numbers such as 5 or 2.

Finding Primes Using The Number 3

A prime number usually ends in 1, 3, 7 or 9.
Total the digits in the number ending in 1, 3, 7 or 9 (ex. 677 has the digits (6,7,7,) when totaled = 20 (6 +7 +7 = 20)
Divide the digit total (20) by 3,
If the answer contains a fraction (20/3 = 6.666666667) 677 is a prime.
If the answer doesn’t contain a fraction the number is not a prime. For instance 27 isn’t a prime because (2+7=9) and 9 divided by 3 is an even number ( 9/3 =3.)

Prime =11
Total = 2
Total / 3 = 0.666666667
Prime =13
Total = 4
Total / 3 = 1.333333333
Prime =17
Total = 8
Total/3= 2.666666667
Prime = 19
Total = 10
Total /3 = 3.333333333
Prime = 23
Total = 5
Total/3 = 1.666666667
Prime = 29
Total = 11
Total/3= 3.666666667
Prime = 31
Total = 4
Total/3 = 1.333333333
Prime = 37
Total = 10
Total / 3 = 3.333333333
Prime = 41
Total = 5
Total/3 = 1.666666667
Prime =43
Total = 7
Total/3 = 2.333333333
Prime= 47
Total = 11
Total/3 = 3.666666667

Walking On Water

Everyone is going to get it in the ear at some point in their life. We all live on a Sine Wave. One time we’re at the top of our game and can do no wrong and the other time we are in the trough and can do no right. Even God had a bad day and had to use a flood to correct things. If someone likes you and you walk on water then your praises are sung from on high. If someone doesn’t like you and you walk on water then they say "You’re damned lucky you didn’t get your feet wet!!!!" Same you, but different impressions!!!"

Dullsville

I’ve a new appreciation of anyone that has to grind out 1200 words a day and still manages to get paid for it!!
My observation is that most people who occupy the center of the old Bell Curve can summarize their lives in about 3 e-mails that are each ½ a page in length. I’m one of those dull people in my three dimensional existence. The problem with blogging is that it is an open forum that anyone can read. There is a possibility that someone might read your blog and know you. If this happens you are then forced to explain something that you thought was brilliantly written at the time but makes absolutely no sense now. Therefore you have a choice. You can write about how many times you did this or that or take a flyer and write from the soul. I prefer the soul route. That way, I can write about anything that interests me and not have to run the risk of having to explain anything to anyone which I appear to be doing right now. I also have to have standards which can generally be summed up as not bringing any harm to anyone. Although I’m dull, I still like to find thoroughly intellectually interesting people that are full of fun in spite of any adventure involving them at the moment!! I guess hope springs eternal!! I’ve a philosophical and psychic bend mixed with a dry sense of humor. I also have the ability to sometimes "sense" people. Fortunately, I’m sufficiently dull that if anyone tripped over me I still wouldn’t be noticed!! If, on the other hand, we eyeballed each other and had a soul experience it would be interesting to say the least!! I can’t actually see anyone’s soul in terms of being able to describe it. I just have the ability to sometimes look through the door. It’s a powerful experience and is very close to seeing the face of God. It usually scares the hell out of me. I always turn away before the other person realizes what is happening. This life may not be much in terms of what people call success but at least I know what I’ve got!! (:-p)

Three Really Scary Things

Everyone has things in life that really scares the bejabbers out of them. Most of these fears involve the physical you and very seldom involve your soul. In fact lots of people don’t think they have a soul because it doesn’t seem to have anything to do with their three dimensional life. Oh sure, if you are active in a religion there is talk about saving your soul but that is where it begins and ends. Nothing is concrete. Most people couldn’t even write a description of their soul. Acquaintances and friends involve the physical you and your soul involves your soulmate. This is why a lot of relationships begin and end with "Let’s Be Friends" or its’ variation because your two mysterious individual souls have no common ground. You have a symbiotic relationship between your physical body and your soul. Neither can exist in this Vale Of Tears without the other. Your soul exists forever and your physical body exists for about 78 to 84 years on average. You don’t know where the soul lies because your 3 dimensional persona has no relationship to your soul except that they occupy the same relative space. Your timeless soul is being carried around by your body. Everyone modifies their body and / or attitude to cope with their adventures / life experiences but nothing is done about your soul. There are, perhaps, three really scary things in life:
1 Getting married to someone who you don’t know beyond a physical description and some soul guesswork.
2 Being faced with the real possibility of dying.
3 Looking into someone’s eyes, suddenly seeing their soul and realizing you have absolutely no control over the process.
I have experienced that out of control / scared feeling when I have eyeballed someone, friend or stranger, and suddenly realized that I’m looking at a timeless soul. I immediately turn away because it could be extremely embarrassing if the other person picked up what was happening. The opening of a soul is why sometimes it's the hardest looking into someone’s eyes that you love or even someone you don't. If their eyes are open at the same time it's almost as if you both know that something behind your eyes is out of your control and by inference one of the scariest processes you can endure. It is sort of like looking into the windows of the eye and seeing a small infinitesimal hint of God’s power. It is times like this that I definitely feel that I don’t ever want to piss off God let alone have him / her really get mad at me!!!
