Sometimes

Sometimes things happen for a reason. Sometimes you know why. Most times you don’t.

Sometimes someone truly does care for you in spite of the way you feel about yourself.

Sometimes someone hurts you. Just remember if you are walking with God and you and he are friends he’ll probably take care of the problem without bothering you about all the sordid details. Sometimes God won’t do anything because he drafts the hurter for one of his projects. Don’t pout. God’s projects are emotionally draining.

Sometimes knowledge is power. Most people don’t know how that knowledge is supposed to work.

Sometimes people have a devastating disappointment. Just remember it’s impersonal. Someone had to get it in the ear and today was your turn. Hey, who said examples always had to have gooooood results???????

Sometimes you may think that you can change another person’s thought processes, no matter how stupid they are.

Sometimes you are delusional in spite of our good intentions and good deeds!!!

Sometimes people drop the ball. Just remember balls bounce. The object of life is to catch it on the rebound and dribble the rest of your way through life using Kleenex on occasion!!!

Sometimes people can’t recognize their best interest. Don’t feel inferior. Best interest is never recognized until it’s gone.

Sometimes you may think that everyone else knows everything. Don’t panic we all lie to each other.

Sometimes someone is willing to share something with you that makes them extremely happy. Don’t flip out!!!! Sometimes the Fickle Finger Of Fate does smile on you!!!! Take advantage. Who knows if and when your turn will come again!!!!

Sometimes regret is something that doesn’t leave us and insists on following us everywhere we go. Just go out and purchase a smaller rear view mirror so regret has no room.

Sometimes we spend more time looking in the rear view mirror than looking through the windshield of life. Then when we crash into something we moan about it. Once you’re out of the hospital, don’t forget to stencil on the rear view mirror " Why the hell are you looking at me??????"

Sometimes in life there are options. Settling for less than you deserve is not one of those options.

Sometimes you just want to be left alone. This desire is accomplished by being happy, smiling, and being friendly. Most people don’t know how to handle happiness, smiling, friendliness. They associate these characteristics with stupidity and dopiness. People will tend to avoid you because it might be catching!!!

Sometimes you want people to be concerned about you. Project a down and out persona, with appropriate moaning and groaning. You will attract the do gooders and tree huggers. You may actually bond with some of them until a superior moaner and groaner appears on the horizon. Well, nobody said life was perfect !!!!!

Sometimes in life you suddenly realize that nothing is 100%. Don’t forget an executive is defined as someone who gets things right 51% of the time. Now why are you getting all hot and bothered?????

Particles, Waves, Sets

My favorite person, The Count on Sesame Street, once hosted a program whose main theme was that "This Universe Has Been Brought To You By The Number 3." This universe essentially consists of particles, waves and sets. You and I are particles dashing here and there and bumping into each other like one big Brownian movement. The wave part of the universe is the statistical and can only be analyzed statistically . Men and women may have individual adventures, but statistically speaking we essentially do the same things. That is why comics are so successful at making us laugh because we all instinctively recognize our stereotypical existence. That is also why people get all hot and bothered over being portrayed culturally or nationally as stereotypes. That is why the current movie Borat is so successful. Suffering, happiness, sadness etc. are all particles in a wave called emotion. If you and I weren’t emotional love wouldn’t exist. God would be even more meaningless than she is to most of us right now. Our mind creates thought which generates emotion, reality and illusion. Sets are primarily collections of particles that have a relationship. Business, friends, lovers, events, other generalized circumstances are all examples of sets. We all have to have memory because if we didn’t we couldn’t function in three dimensions. If we couldn’t remember, how would we know what is water and what is hydrochloric acid? Alzheimer’s is an example of what happens if you don’t have memory. Memory is your and my database. Mind is our CPU. Thought is our algorithms. Emotion is hard to quantify. Robots can simulate emotion and if memory is added than they know how to treat you based on a database of your responses to their existence. Just like you and I do to each other!!! Emotion, to me, is our link with our Soul and to God. If we weren’t emotional we wouldn’t be aware of God. God appeals to us on an emotional level. Man has corrupted God into a set of rules which if followed will supposedly bring you salvation. Good luck on that one!!! Everything that comes to us we try to define or attempt to label because in order to function effectively, individually, collectively or relationally we have to have a system of communication or explanation that is consistent with emotion, reality and illusion. That is why we have language and that is why it evolves. If you don’t believe me, try writing down and explaining something that another person says whose language gives you no clues!!! Anyway, start thinking in terms of 3’s and you will find that this universe, excluding God’s involvement in the affairs of you and I, has been constructed on and is being run by the number 3!!!!

Reason, Season, Lifetime

People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to expect. When someone is in your life for a reason, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. What you must realize is that when your need has been met, your desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.
Some people come into your life for a season, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real and not an illusion. But only for a season. Lifetime relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person giving it and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. Love may be blind but friendship is clairvoyant .

How To Calculate Primes

A Prime is defined as any number that can only be divided only by itself and 1. If you suspect that a number is a Prime, the only way to absolutely know if it is a Prime number is to divide it by all the preceding numbers to see if that particular number is a Prime or in other words divisible only by itself and 1. Fine for low numbers but a royal pain for large numbers. To add to the fun, if you look at a table of Primes it seems to follow a pattern, but nobody has been able to find the formula for that pattern. If you examine a table of Primes you will find that none of the Primes are an even number. Therefore if you write down all the numbers from 1 to infinity and divide the numbers by 2, and eliminate those divisible evenly by 2 it’s a start. If you look at a table of Prime Numbers you will see after the first column of Prime Numbers (1, 2, 3, 5, 7 ) the Prime Numbers with more than 1 column ( 11, 13, 17, 19 ) end in 1, 3, 7, and 9. The downside of numbers ending in 1, 3, 7 and 9 is that not all these numbers are Prime. Oh well, it’s a start for eliminating a lot of odd numbers ending in 5 that aren’t Prime. If however, you divide all the Prime numbers from 1 to infinity ending in 1, 3, 7, 9 by 9 you will find that the decimal part of the answer after dividing by 9 is .111111, .22222, .444444, .555555, .77777, .888888. You will notice that there is no .3333333 or .6666666. It seems that an odd number ending in 1, 3, 7, 9 when divided by 9 and has a decimal part of the answer being .333333 or .66666 is not a Prime number.

In summary:

Prime numbers end in 1, 3, 7, 9 after the first column.

Not all numbers ending in 1, 3, 7, 9 are Prime numbers.

Divide all the numbers ending in 1, 3, 7, 9 by 9.

If the answer contains .33333 or .666666 or .6666667 it isn’t a Prime number.

If the answer contains .111111, .222222, .44444, .55555, .777777, or .88888 it is a Prime number.

Primes

There’re a lot of things in this world that drive people nuts, but for mathematicians or the mathematically curious it seems to be Primes. Primes are defined as any number that can only be divided evenly by itself and 1. If you suspect that a number is a Prime, the only way to absolutely know if it is a Prime number is to divide it by all the preceding numbers to see if that particular number is a Prime or in other words divisible only by itself and 1. Fine for low numbers but a royal pain for large numbers. To add to the fun, if you look at a table of Primes it seems to follow a pattern, but nobody has been able to find the formula for that pattern. If you examine a table of Primes you will find that none of the Primes are an even number. Therefore if you write down all the numbers from 1 to infinity and divide the numbers by 2, and eliminate those divisible evenly by 2 it’s a start. If you look at a table of Prime Numbers you will see after the first column of Prime Numbers (1, 2, 3, 5, 7 ) the Prime Numbers with more than 1 column ( 11, 13, 17, 19 ) end in 1, 3, 7, and 9. The downside of numbers ending in 1, 3, 7 and 9 is that not all these numbers are Prime. Oh well, it’s a start for eliminating a lot of odd numbers ending in 5 that aren’t Prime.

You will notice that there is no .3333333 or .6666666. It seems that a odd number ending in 1, 3, 7, 9 when divided by 9 and has a decimal part of the answer being .333333 or .66666 is not a Prime number. Try it and see!!!!

In summary:

Prime numbers end in 1, 3, 7, 9 after the first column.

Not all numbers ending in 1, 3, 7, 9 are Prime numbers.

Divide all the numbers ending in 1, 3, 7, 9 by 9.

If the answer contains .33333 or .666666 or .6666667 they aren’t a Prime number.

If the answer contains .111111, .222222, .44444, .55555, .777777, or .88888 it is a Prime number.

The Great I Am

Sin was the invention of religion to control the great unwashed along with the prospect of losing your Soul if you don’t conform to whatever. God put us in this universe to learn and grow within ourselves. That’s why you and I were made three dimensional. Our Soul exists in all dimensions and can do everything except see and formulate the future. Seeing and formulating the future is God’s prerogative. If she let everyone do it, there would be no common future or in other words perpetual chaos. The trick to life is to keep your focus on God because she will guide you but paradoxically isn’t strong enough to come through if you’re off doing fun things and aren’t listening. Of course, if God is determined / has decided that two people will be "1" no matter what then she’ll draft you for her purpose, usually without telling you which in essence is about the future. True Love is essentially true love with feeling that flows through you courtesy of God. We need water to survive because we are ocean based creatures but as you and I are now we carry our water around inside us. Likewise, we need Love flowing through us or we aren't going to reach our full potential. Sometimes we think love lies in a certain direction so we’re off running and trying to cultivate it like crazy usually on barren soil. The barren soil sometimes manages to make the love grow but it is unable to sustain it and your perceived love for someone else withers and dies much to your and their chagrin. God, in her wisdom, has put the great "I am" inside all of us, but paradoxically, none of us are really confident in ourselves, so the great "I am" is never found much less developed. If, however, you focus on the great "I am" everything good will follow with a little practice and perseverance.

Mind, Ego and Illusion

In 3 dimensions we exist in Mind, Ego and Illusion. Reality, is what we construct from Mind and Ego. Mind works from Memory which stores our life experiences and the results from our dealing with problems in different ways. Attitude is life’s screwdriver for tweaking things. Attitude has a habit of operating automatically without Mind if Ego sees a threat. Sometimes, we don’t recognize that we’re doing it. To add to the fun we live in a universe that cycles through order, chaos and restoration. Attitude frequently defines how we appear to others. It is a form of pure unconsciousness. What we have to strive for is a form of pure consciousness. Reminds me of a Star Trek episode. The villain had placed Captain Kirk and Spock in a situation in which they could only escape if they drained their mind of Reality because if they believed the bullets were "real" they were dead meat. Sort of reminds you of life. If you believe an Illusion is Reality than it becomes fact. Such is Illusion and Reality!!!!!
