What I think of as an interesting fun riddle, 1 3 7
Edited on Sat Jun-05-10 01:48 PM by RandomThoughts
Numbers are interesting, and sometimes they are seen in interesting sequences in many places.


So I was thinking what makes 1 3 7 such special numbers, they have meaning in many ideas, and appear in many places. I thought maybe cause they are prime, but that would be 1 2 3 5 7 11 13 17 etc. and that pattern really is not a sequence seen often. So what makes the numbers 1 3 7 unique?



After some thought I think I got it, in binary, those numbers are, 1 11 111, So then I thought why does 5 show up in many places? Roman numeral for V, 5 shows up many times also. And what is 5 in binary 101 or LOL.

Interesting thought.


And might as well post a song also.

Crazy On You.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZuW6BH_Vak

If we still have time, we might still get by
Every time I think about it, I wanna cry
With bombs and the devil, and the kids keep comin'
No way to breathe easy, no time to be young

But I tell myself that I was doin' all right
There's nothin' left to do at night
But to go crazy on you
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh

My love is the evenin' breeze touchin' your skin
The gentle, sweet singin' of leaves in the wind
The whisper that calls after you in the night
And kisses your ear in the early light
And you don't need to wonder, you're doing fine
My love, the pleasure's mine

Let me go crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, ohhh

Wild man's world is cryin' in pain
What you gonna do when everybody's insane
So afraid of wonder, so afraid of you
What you gonna do...ohhh...

(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Ooooo...Crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you

I was a willow last night in my dream
I bent down over a clear running stream
Sang you the song that I heard up above
And you kept me alive with your sweet flowing love

Crazy
Yeah, crazy on ya
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, oh
Crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, yeah



(Ah-ah-ah-ah)

Crazy on ya
Crazy on you
Let me go crazy, crazy on you, ohhh...

The Ents are a metaphor, but to help tie together that metaphor, with the one in the last verse, that is also when the Hobbit given Ent Draught from the Ent in Tolkien book, while also being the metaphor of love of spirit.

1. Since the topic of thread is ideas of number symbols, and stories from that.
Edited on Sun Jun-06-10 03:23 AM by RandomThoughts
It is possible to find ways to think on things. There is One God Almighty. And then their are many other things, those would be two.

Interestingly V if thought of as ancient Rome would be 5, elsewise it would be 2.


So their is One God, and many twos, and those twos would be the servants, in the metaphor.

But some people think they are God, and try to say they are 1's Hence the soldier reference, and male metaphor for someone that wants to be like God, and the concept of others thinking like that and some with issues like that. Although in my belief there are some that were like that, that returned to the light of goodness and love. And God works through many people so can be part of many that are 2, and many that used to think like they were 1.

Anyways, that was sorta how I think on the male/female, soldier/servant 1/2 ideas in metaphor.

However it has flaws in it, because many that are soldier, with looking at the metaphor differently would have the concept or training but are no longer like that, and the term soldier is used in many contexts. For instance a soldier of light would be a servant. And many people that are soldiers protect with love in other contexts, So the metaphor like all metaphors does not tell the whole story. Not completely sure of parts of the metaphor, think maybe some that thought in worse ways became protectors when returning to light, that is one possibility.


Note that people pointing upward, are not saying they are one, but could be just pointing to the concept of One being in Heaven.

Or they could be saying it in a different way, but here is what I find interesting, although not in the same degree or severity of the metaphor, but a way that does usually includes pride, which led to the fall of those that think they are like God. So thinking on the topic sorta ties in the ideas of winning, being the best, pride, and some of the old stories of fallen, and some interesting concepts, or an interesting way for me to think on many ideas like pride.

Although the metaphor is incomplete in some way, but it is like a glimpse of a thought on the topic.

I like this Crazy song.

Gnarls Barkley - Crazy
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bd2B6SjMh_w

I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that place.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Does that make me crazy?
Possibly
probably

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice

Come on now, who do you, who do you, who do you, who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little, ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably


Being quite sane also, I find these songs and thoughts so interesting.



And since it is anniversary of DDay and 1:01
Wings beneath my wings, for those soldiers, soldiers that protect and love, and to the soldiers and servants that are part of light and love.

2. heh, someone saying someone is like one,
Edited on Sun Jun-06-10 04:21 AM by RandomThoughts
is not that actual person thinking they are that way in their heart, heh, that's ridiculous.

Athough I do think God works through many people that have both some good and some flaws also, so not in judgement of anyone, nor condoning bad actions, but trying to think on intents, and if a persons intents are good, then the only issue is learning and education, hence why thought and trying to learn is something I think that is important.

3. I watched the video crazy again. And saw something I did not see first time I watched that video.
There is a few seconds in that video, that changes it dramatically.

That is interesting, and there is good and bad in many things?

But most interestingly, for some people a short part of imagery can change an entire meaning?

Is the clip about Oil? Is it a person that was 'out of touch' and went through a question of crazy through tough things? and then maybe an idea of no fear and bless those that curse you?

Is it humility that we all have bad also?

After watching it again, it once again says how there is a conflict of good and bad in many things, and it really makes that video edgy with those few seconds.

But it does show that much of thought is interpretation, and what part of things you think on, and that is much of the point on many things.

There is much stuff like that in both movies and films, some better some worse.
