Imagine…
You’ve arranged a plane flight and, for some reason, you later
choose another flight at a different time. Or you’re introduced to
someone who is very annoying. Instinctively you want to move on
and get away. Or imagine that you can’t remember where you left
your wallet last night. The Thought Dial™ can help with all of
these situations.

Life is filled with decisions. Making the right decision, moving in the
most beneficial direction, can be a valuable and sometimes life-
changing ability.

Omarr’s original discovery is: Our subconscious knows many


answers if only we can get past the conscious mind to be able to
know what it is trying to tell us. By using numbers, we can trick
ourselves to get past the conscious mind and therein are our
answers.

Life is full of hopes, surprises and decisions.

In any hour you need to make many decisions,


from what outfit to wear to work to whether or not
you’ll pick a winning lottery ticket. Is this the right
person for the rest of your life? Did you lose your
passport or just misplace it?

Knowing what road to travel on can be tough. It’s


not easy to know: Which is the right course to
take?

What if the answer was inside you all the time?


What if all it took to find the answer was a throw of
the dice…or a turn of the dial?

Introduction
by Jeraldine Saunders and Steve McCrea

This special edition of The Thought Dial™ adds graphics, a


personal Pocket Thought Dial™ and pictures. In choosing the
name of this updated version of The Thought Dial™, we continue
Sydney’s clever innovation: Write a book about numerology
without using the word “number” in the title. His point is clear.
One doesn’t have to “believe” in numerology to find and use life’s
patterns. According to Sydney, we can detect and interpret these
patterns and we can predict with a high degree of accuracy what
comes next.

From page 14 (Thought Dial™): “We stand in a balance between


the intellectual and the emotional worlds.” Sydney believed that
much knowledge of almost any subject is hidden within in our
minds. The Thought Dial™ is a key to discovering and bringing
that knowledge to light.

Sydney was also a gifted teacher. His words inspired Jeraldine and
Steve, who approach numbers in different ways because their
brains are very differently wired. Two opposites in math ability,
both Jeraldine and Steve use Sydney’s teachings in their daily
lives.

8 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


Jeraldine was not a confident math student in school, but Sydney
made it easy for her to grasp the patterns that guide numerology.
Although Steve excelled at calculus and trigonometry, it was in a
mechanical and unemotional way. Thanks to Sydney, Steve
learned to perceive emotional qualities in numbers and “feel”
differences between them, to listen to the trends, and to sense the
patterns that numbers represent. Both Jeraldine and Steve found
that numbers aren’t just quantities. Numbers can actually empower
and even guide us through everyday decisions.

Does this sound too good to be true? Why not read on?!

The cover of The Thought Dial™ carries this quotation from the
artist and author Henry Miller:

The value of The Thought Dial™ lies in the


discovery that all the answers – sooner or
later -- to all questions must come from
within. When one becomes truly aware of this
ancient truth, one will learn to ask the right
questions. The first thing to find out is – WHO
is asking what? Second, are you prepared to
accept the response provoked?
The Thought Dial™ helps us locate lost objects, helps uncertain
people move ahead with projects, and guides our inner selves as
we search for that “missing something.” Sydney’s invention shows
us that “we can fix it” (and actually change the outcome) when
we encounter negative or confusing situations. The Pocket
Thought Dial™ (at the end of the book) is a compact version in an
updated format that you can put to use quickly.

What is “The Cycle”?

Think about the evolution of an idea. What are the stages from
beginning to end of the development of a product or service?

Step 1: Start!
An idea comes to you either in a flash or in phases via slow
evolution. A thought germinates, something sprouts, there’s a start,
and now it begins to grow.

Step 2: Retreat, Recharge
Next you need to prepare and protect the growth of the idea.
Recharge, prepare for the next stage. This is a time to be patient.
Attend to home, family, postpone decisions, be watchful.

Step 3: Expand
Expansion and confusion
are the key words in this
stage of the cycle. It is
tempting to go in many
directions at once. The
idea or product needs
concentrated energy and
enthusiasm. Be positive,
motivated, cheerful. You
must expand, but be
careful: focus your efforts.

Step 4: Develop the Details


Get to work! It’s time to pay attention to “the little things.” Double
check. Work done now will build the future of the product’s
success. Use persistence and determination, but make no sudden
changes.

new or different. Do it now. Be creative. This is the go-ahead!
Now is the time to publicize your product. Go national, go
international!

Step 6: Harmonize. Be a diplomat.
At this point in the cycle, diplomacy is needed with a focus on
domestic issues. (Don’t put off the situation.) The project is going
well and you should use this time to attend to your family (or deal
with internal matters in the “home” of the product). Clear up a
situation at home that has been allowed to go on and on while the
project has been nurtured.

Focus on family!

Step 7: Pause to Evaluate


There is a chance that you will
lose sight of your goal. Your mind
might be distracted or you see

Frequently Asked Questions
1. If there are nine principal numbers (1 through 9) from
beginning to end, are we all on nine-day cycles?
Answer: Now you’re getting it. The key idea is to
observe when you are “flowing” and when you are “ebbing,” when
to push and when to wait.

2. How do biorhythms fit into the Omarr Method and the


Thought Dial?
Answer: Cycles surround us.
Anyone familiar with biorhythms knows that our physical, emotional
and mental beings each has highs and lows. Jeraldine recalls
visiting a highly classified military base at the invitation of a general.
She was told, “We keep track of every person’s biorhythms.” This
makes sense, since the work at the base was sensitive and the
general wanted everyone on the job to be in peak condition. The
principle behind biorhythms allows us to know when your body is
charging (lows) and when it is in top condition (highs). There are
two “critical” days when the cycle switches between expending
energy and starts recharging. In the 28-day emotional cycle, day
14 and day 28 are the two days that are “critical.” In some facilities,
such as air-traffic control centers, anyone with two critical days
occurring on the same day is given a day off. Complicated charts
can tell us when we have these days, but the Thought Dial can tell
us how our subconscious is reacting to the whole soup of forces
that we swim in. During one biorhythm cycle, we might have less
energy available than during a different biorhythm cycle. It would
be nice to have a quick way to “dial in” to ourselves to know “how
are we doing today?” That’s the special convenience that Sydney
Omarr gave us with this method. Let’s read on and learn more.

3. Astrologers often talk about “Mercury in retrograde,”


meaning that when a planet is in a certain position,
everybody is under its influence and communication tends to
be hampered. How does the Thought Dial interact with
universal forces?

18 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


Answer: Each of us is unique , yet we are part of
groups. Psychologists can place each of us (unique with DNA
and fingerprints) into categories. How will one group of people
tend to respond under stress compared to another group of
people? Why do some people say, “I don’t sweat the small
stuff…and it’s all small stuff,” while other people sometimes get
overwhelmed (or allow themselves to become overwhelmed) by
situations? The Thought Dial “dials into” your subconscious
and gives you a response, somewhere between 1 and 9, that
helps you evaluate where you are in your cycle. Is today a good
day to push ahead? Perhaps for you. If you know something
about what stage in the cycle your work partner is on, you can
coordinate better. “My personal day is 7 today,” a partner might
tell you, so you know that it will be better for your partner to deal
with details tomorrow. “I’m having two critical days next week,
so I’m not working on Wednesday,” an air traffic controller might
tell you. These are personal cycles that take place in the mix of
a universal tug of the moon and other forces.

Many cultures recognize the importance of moon cycles, which


can be linked to biorhythms (especially the 28-day emotional
cycle). I’ve noticed that when the moon is waxing, I tend to
sleep less and I have more energy to expend. It doesn’t happen
in every lunar cycle because some days are “critical” in my
biorhythms and I don’t have the energy to use. But when I
notice an approaching full moon and I have a lot of energy and
I’m typing for four hours withut a break, I can explain that to
myself. “I must be in a high part of my biorhythms,” I think to
myself. “This is a good opportunity to take.” I know that later in
the cycle, perhaps while the moon is waning, I’ll have lower
energy, I’ll be less likely to want to put words into a computer,
and that will be a time to do yard work or repetitive house
chores.

Life Happens: You Can Fix It 19


There are three biorhythm cycles, physical (23 days), mental
(33 days) and emotional (28 days).

Knowing something about our personal cycles gets us closer to


the advice given roughly 2500 years ago by Socrates: Know
yourself. Biorhythms are one way to explain the ease and
obstacles that we experience, the highs and lows that come our
way, the patterns of our lives. The Omarr Method called The
Thought Dial™ is just another way to “dial in” to our personal
interaction with forces around us.

Let’s get started.

20 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


Life Happens: You Can Fix It 21
Your First Calculation
If asked to pick a number between one and 100, you will probably
come up with several “favorite” numbers. The genius of Sydney’s
system is to get beyond the “favorites” and connect with the
“vibration” of your underlying thought. That’s why it’s called the
thought “dial.” We can use three numbers to “dial in” to the heart of
the situation, past our mental gyrations.

Why three numbers? When asked for two numbers, most of us


can think ahead: 4 and 5 is 9. 16 and 4 is 20. But three numbers
are beyond the limit of what many of us can instantly add together.
More than three numbers gets in the way of many people’s
intuition. Ask for four numbers and some people will give three
numbers, then pause. Now the “instant” is lost because the rational
mind is involved in selecting and editing to find the “right” fourth
number. The “sudden impulse” has passed.

Now, let’s try a simple first calculation. Think about a current


project. Perhaps it is a new addition to your house. Perhaps it’s a
dream destination for your next vacation or you can’t decide what to
have for lunch. You want to tap your subconscious. Think of the
topic and then quickly say the first three numbers between 0 and
100 that come to mind.

___ + ___ + ___

Go ahead – add the numbers together.

_____

If the result is bigger than 9, add the two digits together. For
example, the numbers 4 + 8 + 6 = 18
18 is the result, so  1 + 8 = 9.

If your three numbers total more than 300, you’re unusual (and you
weren’t following directions). Most people select numbers under 32
when asked for three numbers – why? The numbers usually
correspond to a date in a month.

Example: a person might choose 5 15 25

22 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


This person likes fives! 5 + 1 + 5 + 2 + 5 = 18

1 + 8 = 9  9 is the reduced number.


Now that you have a number -- reduced to a single digit -- apply the
result to the chart at the back of the book: The Pocket Thought
Dial. Look at the end of the book and read the entry under “Your
subconscious wants to say…” The result will give you a hint
about what your subconscious is focusing on.

Using the Pocket Thought Dial™


The Pocket Thought Dial™ was first created in 1982 when Steve
started carrying photocopies of the “Lost Objects” section of The
Thought Dial. He boiled down pages 78 through 82 to a small
index card. On the back side of the card he summarized the advice
or indications from pages 36 to 56 (“Subconscious Thoughts”).
Anyone reading the section on subconscious thoughts will
immediately see that some material had to be omitted to fit onto a
pocket version. The challenge for you, the user, is to use the
Pocket Thought Dial™ as a guide for further investigation and as a
memory jogger. If you choose to read only the advice on the
Pocket Thought Dial™, you will limit the interpretation. Best results

Life Happens: You Can Fix It 23


come when the user has absorbed the essence of the chapter on
“Subconscious Thoughts” before using the pocket version.

Step 1: Familiarize yourself with the chapters on “Finding Lost


Objects” and “Subconscious Thoughts.”

Step 2: Make a photocopy of the two pages showing the Pocket


Thought Dial™. Read the Pocket Thought Dial™. Notice that
some material has been omitted from the Thought Dial™.
Remember to keep those omissions in mind when using the Pocket
Thought Dial™.

Step 3: Fold the photocopy and place it in your wallet or purse.


Make an extra copy for the kitchen and another for your car. You’ll
find these extra copies very useful.

Step 4: The next time you want to tap your subconscious or to find
a lost object, reach in your pocket or purse and pull out your copy
of the Pocket Thought Dial™.

Follow the simple steps we’ve laid out. Now consider the input that
your subconscious is sharing with you. As Henry Miller wrote,
“The first thing to find out is WHO is asking what?
Second, are you prepared to accept the response
provoked?”

How to “Cast Out Nines”


Here is a mathematical trick for you to use when reducing (or
simplifying) the three numbers. For many people, “casting out
nines” makes the task of simplifying numbers much easier. The
pattern is based on the decimal system.

Examples:
1+8=9

2+7=9

3+6=9

24 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


4+5=9

1+2+3+3=9

And there are dozens of other ways to make a reduced total of 9.

Let’s use the same combinations but instead add a zero to one of
the numbers.

10 + 8 = 18  1 + 8 = 9

2 + 70 = 72  7+ 2 = 9

3 + 60 = 63  6 + 3 = 9

40 + 5 = 45  4 + 5 = 9

1 + 20 + 3 + 3 = 27  2 + 7 = 9

We see that adding a zero doesn’t change the reduced result.

Do you see how easy it is to simplify? This can be fun!

The principle of “adding a zero” is helpful. When we reduce or


simplify the number to a single digit, we ignore the zero and we
can also ignore the nine.

1+7=8

1 + 9 + 8 = 17  1 + 7 = 8 (same result)

THE MAGICAL NINE


Now let’s move on to sums that don’t reduce to 9:

23 + 24 = 47  4 + 7 = 11 or 2

13 + 38 = 51  5 + 1 = 6

WAIT.
There’s an easier way to reduce 23 + 24. Sydney told me, “When
you see a 9, ignore it. Get rid of it. Look at what is left over.”

Life Happens: You Can Fix It 25


23 + 24 = 2 3 2 4  2 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 9 + 2  2
Toss out the nine! The result of 23 + 24 is 2.

4 + 7 = 11  1 + 1 = 2 Hey, that’s the same answer! The


reduced number of 47 is 2.

Let’s look at the second example.

13 + 38 = 51

It’s not 51 (in the “reduced” or “simplified” form). It is “6”. (5 + 1 


6). But we can arrive at the number 6 by looking for a 9.

1 +3 + 3 + 8 …. Let’s ignore the 9 (1 + 8) and focus on the


remaining numbers. That’s how we arrive at the simple result of 6.

1 + 8 + 3 + 3 = (9) + 3 + 3 = 6.

======

Sydney used this technique to quickly handle numbers that were


too big for straight adding in his head. If a person says that his
three numbers are 4, 2 and 3, it’s easy for many of us to see “9” as
the answer. But what if the person say “24, 32 and 33”?

Throw out the nines. That’s what “cast out” means! Anytime you
SEE a 9, ignore it.
SLOW: 24, 32 and 33 = 89  8 + 9 = 17  1 + 7 = 8

QUICK: 24, 32 and 33 = (2 + 4 + 3) + 2 + 3 + 3 = (9) + 8  8

Here are some examples of the nines that we see regularly.

Example 1. Look for combinations that make 9.


The person says “3, 5, 6.” In your mind, you see 3, 5, 6. You can
ignore the 3 and 6. You can say, “Ah, your subconscious is
concerned with a question involving communication or travel.”

26 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


Example 2. 10 is 1.
The person says “13, 25, 86.” In your mind, you see groups: 1,3,
2, 5, then 8 + 6. The 1 + 3 + 5 is ignored and you focus on 2 + 8
+ 6. Hmmm. 2 + 8 = 10  1, so you can learn to see 2 + 8 + 6.
 10 + 6  1 + 6. You can say, “Ah, your subconscious is
telling you to avoid contracts, don’t make any decisions now. You
don’t have enough information.” If you say, “The total is 7, so…”
you will help the other person learn how to do this. If you want to
appear like a mind reader, don’t say what the total is. ;-)

Just say, “The numbers tell me that your subconscious is


concerned with the following situations…”

Example 3. Learn the total for the current year to save time.
If the year is 2010, the total is 3. ( 2 + 0 + 1 + 0 = 3). Perhaps the
person says “My birthday is April 12.” In your mind, you add the 4
(April) + 1 + 2 (= 7), then the year total (3), giving you 10 or 1. You
can say, “Ah, at this point in the cycle, you are ready to break with
the past and begin something new.”

The Personal Cycle


You can describe a person’s cycle with this system. We can
assume that, every 9 years, there is a completion and a new
beginning. Some skeptics might ask, “How can we assume that
every person at age 10, 19, 28, 37, etc. has a new beginning? We
can have a new beginning any time we want!”

That’s where the person’s birthday comes into play. The calendar
year (2010, for example) plus the birth day and birth month
combine to give a vibration or a potential opportunity.

Example: Birth day plus birth month plus this year.


If the person’s birthday is 12 May, in 2009 the personal year is 12
+ 5 + 2009 = 12 + 5 + 2 + 0 + 0 + 9 = 1 (2 + 5 + 2) = 1
“The start of a cycle.”

Who is in charge?
The classic slogan of “personal consultants” (or “life coaches”) is
“The forces of nature IMPEL, they don’t COMPEL.” You might

Life Happens: You Can Fix It 27


have the opportunity to get drunk because your friends are urging
you to join them in a party game with a pitcher of beer, but you are
not trapped in this situation. Nobody has tied your legs to a chair
and forced beer down your throat. You are not compelled to do
much in your life (but it is often convenient to say “the devil made
me do it” or “I lost control of the situation” or “I had no choice”).

The message of this book is that “life happens.” What can you and
I do to fix the situation? How can we look at these forces as
IMPULSIONS and not compulsions? How can we regain control of
the situation?

Some Firsthand Experiences
with The Thought Dial™
Let’s start with my favorite story – how The Thought Dial™ helps a
person with ADD (Attention Deficit). I call the condition “variable
attention ability.” I have the ability to vary my level of attention or
degree of attention. Sometimes I am able to focus well. At other
times I am not paying attention and whatever I’m doing at the time
becomes hidden! If I handled papers during my “low attention”
phase, I often don’t remember where I left the papers. This means
I need to walk around, retracing my steps, to find the lost or
misplaced papers.

When I was 14 years old, I misplaced an important sheet of paper.


I placed it somewhere that I knew I would remember – so that when
I needed the paper in the future, I would be able to find that sheet.
Six months passed and…yes, I couldn’t find that important sheet. I
turned over every book on my desk and went through every
drawer…and then I found The Thought Dial™. I put the image of
that sheet in my mind and closed my eyes. I gave three numbers
and the total came to 3. “Look North, among papers.” Well, I was
sure that the Dial was wrong because I HAD looked through all my
papers. Oh, what about the papers on the bulletin board? Right
where I left it! THERE was that sheet.

Since then, I misplaced The Thought Dial™ so often that eventually


I compiled an index card with short sentences about where to find
lost objects. When I use The Thought Dial™, I tend to focus more
and I’m sure that’s why I find the lost object. The actual
mechanism is unimportant, since the result is the same: that object
is no longer lost.

As a tutor, I see at least one student with ADD each week, so in a


year I introduce at least 50 students to The Thought Dial™. It’s fun
to see kids learn about “casting out nines” and other patterns. The
convenience of the Pocket Thought Dial™ means more kids can
carry with them the “Lost Object” words to jog their memories.

Jeraldine recalls…
“Sydney used to dislike certain numbers in some situations. It
seemed like 7 could rarely be useful, since it is associated with
delusion and deception. “Don’t sign any legal documents today,”
he used to caution me when my totals came to 7.

The number 9 had several strong associations, too. Sydney was


booked on a radio show with a popular talk show host … who was
out sick that evening. His replacement was his wife, who asked,
“How is my husband doing?” Sydney asked for three numbers and
the sum came back as 9.

“The end of a cycle.” Sydney made some talk about how her
husband was preparing for the next project and the wife started
talking about their plans. Sydney was relieved, because in that
situation a number 9 usually means “an end.”

The topic was changed, the conversation moved on, but Sydney’s
intuition told him that the husband would not be returning to work
on the radio station The husband died three weeks later.

There are so many testimonials.

Selections from Sydney’s Thought Dial

Sydney Omarr wrote a book about


numerology without using the word
“numerology” or “numbers” in the title.
By doing so, he attempted to get past
the initial reaction that many rational
people have against the mantic arts.

He introduced the idea that numbers


are a channel to our inner wisdom
and understanding. Here is a
reproduction of the first 160 pages of
his book, published in several
editions in the 1960s, with the
addition of helpful graphics, photos
and highlighted quotes.

(What is behind the numbers?)
In the Thought Dial™, Sydney laid out the psychological
connections linked to numbers.

Let’s start with an exercise. Write the 11 numbers used in


Sydney’s system.

1______________ 7______________
2______________ 8______________
3______________ 9______________
4______________ 11_____________
5______________ 22 _____________
6______________

Now think of two words or phrases that you associate with


these numbers. Go ahead, don’t hesitate.

Hey. Don’t look at the next page.

196 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


Do the exercise. Write words that come to mind
when you look at the eleven numbers (1-9, 11 and 22). … and then
look at these numbers:

What do these numbers represent to you?

What number comes to mind when you think of a mermaid?

When you see the number 5, what
do you think about?

How does your mind react to “5” instead of “3”?

198 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


Here’s how I see numbers:
(Steve’s answers to the exercise…)
1 – Primo, number one, a fresh start, alone and unfettered.
Wimbledon, a fight, mano a mano. One-on-one combat. A
partridge in a pear tree. Ichiban, the ego, the “one” in the sun.

2 -- Couples, a cup of tea shared with a friend in her home


or his home, the psychiatrist and the client, Mother and child, two
heads are better than one. Double, pair, it takes two to tango,
twins, opposition in astrology, the sun and the moon.

3 – Trinity, three can be


company, three leaves on a twig, three
cherries on a branch, triangle,
harmony in astrology. Three of a kind,
Create, Maintain, Destroy. Cardinal,
fixed, mutable.

Cury Church.

4 – Square, the four elements,

prudence, moderation or temperance. The Bushido seven
(courage, kindness, respect, honesty, honor, loyalty, morality),
there’s a seven-sided coin in England. 7 days in a week, seven

8 – STOP! That got your attention. Octagon, two-cubed, 2 x


2 x 2, Square root of 64, the eight signs of feng shui and the I
Ching, the shape of a snowman: 8.

9 – Three-squared, The number of players on a


baseball team, 3 x 3. “No” in German, 99 bottles of beer on the
wall, the last digit in most prices ($8.99), nine justices on the
Supreme Court.

202 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


11 -- In Bingo, “legs eleven.” Football and soccer teams,
The number of people I will share a dozen bagels with, the ace in
blackjack, Armistice Day (11th hour of the 11’th day of the 11th
month or Remembrance Day), Apollo 11 was the first to land on the
moon. Derived from Ainlif (a Germanic word menaing “one left”),
points on the Canadian maple leaf.

22 – In Bingo, “Quack Quack, two swans”, two teams in


football or soccer. The age of most college students on graduation
day, Catch-22.

Jeraldine adds:
3 = Jupiter and fun
6 = health, job
7 = illusion, spiritual
8 = added responsibility but greater rewards
9 = love
11 = the quiet master
22 = Plays hard, works hard, master.

Some of these images will appear to come from childhood, when


many of our impressions are imprinted. We carry around images
made years ago. These images, psychologists say, guide our
thought patterns. By becoming aware of these images, we can
gain better insight into what is driving our decisions.

A Tribute to Sydney
The Omarr Method starts with the idea that numbers have
significance. There’s a reason why we think about certain
numbers. There’s psychology behind numbers, why the number 3
feels better than the number 7 or 9.

The fellow who helped me see the importance of numbers was


Sydney Omarr. Millions of people knew him as an astrologer.
However, to me, he was a magician and a mentor who made
numbers come alive. Sydney helped the skeptical mathematician
in me to see significance behind “mere random numbers.”

I was 12 years old when I met Sydney. He impressed me with


seamless tricks ranging from magic (hidden coins and cards) to the
entertainment of numbers.

Sydney taught me about the cycle of numbers. His confident,


knowledgeable manner impressed me. He demonstrated patterns,
he showed me how to “cast out nines,” how to reduce numbers.
“You can figure this in your head,” he told me.

I’m now a math teacher and often I’m called on to provide examples
to students. Being a teacher means more than demonstrating how
formulas are applied to the real world. Teachers are also mentors,

204 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


and I often ask myself, “How can I show my students the value of a
mentor?”
In his book, My World of Astrology, Sydney devotes a large part of
the book to a TV appearance in 1951 when he was challenged in a
debate. He was a young man, under 30 years old, and he was
asked to defend astrology. He recounts in his book how he went
back in his mind to when he first heard the word “astrology.”

This incident is also reported in Norma Lee Browning‘s book. He


couldn’t remember the name of his high school teacher, but he
recalled that she dismissed astrology as a “pseudo science.” That
teacher did more than anyone to spur the young Sydney to find out
more about numbers, angles and patterns. She sparked a passion
that grew into more than 40 million books in print.

Focus
The part of the biography that I repeat to my students is not WHAT
Sydney focused on, but it was the fact that he focused. His
passion, his interests, his focus of energy on one subject made the
difference in his life. Up to that point, he was a bored student in
high school. From that point on, he was on fire.

Once he found his focus, Sydney completed his university degree


in Mexico after serving in World War Two. His part-time consulting
work even paid for his studies – yet another example of how he is a
good role model for today’s teenagers.

Sydney recounts in his biography that at the moment he was facing


the television audience, he thought about that teacher in high
school who ridiculed astrology. Thanks to that teacher, who was an
“anti-mentor,” Sydney became curious and read one book after
another about the stars. He honed his writing ability and built a
vibrant vocabulary. Astrology became his interest and business.

While still a university student, Sydney published a book for each


sign. His great personal achievement was creating an industry for
himself, using just the power between his ears and his ability to
bring together information from dozens of books.

Detractors of astrology will disagree with the next statement: There


is actually a place for astrology in the school system. We
should discuss its historical significance and its vocabulary. By not
discussing astrology in school, we teachers shut out about 25% of

Life Happens: You Can Fix It 205


the students who might be inspired to learn more vocabulary
through the use of astrology. (Do you remember reading sun sign
descriptions?) Words like cardinal and mutable have specific
meanings in astrology that could be extended into general verbal
use. You don’t have to “believe” in astrology to get benefit from its
vocabulary. [Jeraldine adds: “Astrology is not a belief. One
accepts it, just as one accepts that spring follows winter.”]

Sydney created not only his own success, but he created his
identity. He changed his last name (Kimmelman) to the more
exotic sound of “Omarr,” and changed the “I” to “y” in his first name.
He created his future. Instead of complaining about math, he made
it fun. He took to heart the aphorism, “Each day we decide who we
will be.” Although his mind wandered at school, he used it well.

Dreamer, author, artist and a craftsman. He could inject


enthusiasm and inspiration in people who read his works and heard
him speak. And I hope he inspires you.

He was Sydney Omarr, author, journalist, magician, counselor,


entrepreneur and mentor… and my lifelong influence.
-- Steve

Two Short Poems


His candle burned to give us light
He gave us words to help us fight
So if you fear history, English or math,
Think of Sydney – and blaze your path.

Don’t stand alone when you face the night


Use Sydney’s logic to ease your plight
This positive thought will light your way:
“What would Sydney do or say?”

You can call up the image of Sydney. You can hear his voice,
stable, calm, reassuring, asking you, “Listen, give me three
numbers – quick!”

206 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


We tend to move toward that upon which we dwell.
So dwell well.
Recited often by Jeraldine Saunders, Sydney’s wife.

An Observation about ADD


Sydney admitted that he was not the most attentive student. His
mind would wander. Today we might label him “ADD” (someone
who has an “attention deficit”). The message for students who
don’t do well in classrooms is “look what you can do when you have
ADD!” Sydney went on to pursue a passion and read hundreds
of books, then wrote dozens of books. In other words, ADD is not
really a deficit in attention – it’s a variable ability to pay attention.
When something interests the ADD person, there’s a strong focus
available. They can become very good at whatever they become
passionate about.

If you live with ADD or if your child lives with ADD, sometimes
called ADHD (H for “hyperactive”), the key to take away from this
page is “find the passion.” Whatever the passion is, pursue it.
Whatever the passions are, pursue them. Then build a school
curriculum and a career around those passions. Sydney did it.
You can, too.

Courage comes from the soul within,


The man must furnish the will to win.
So figure it out for yourself, my lad
You were born with all the great have had
With your equipment they all began, so
Get hold of yourself and say, “I can!”

That poem by Edgar Guest keeps me on track and pushes me


even now to complete this chapter and eventually my part of this
book. It’s Sydney’s example of focus and attention that inspires
me to stay on target. I wish you that same power of focus. You
can!

Insights into “The Cycle”

THE FAMOUS “S” CURVE

Economists refer to a famous “S” curve that describes the fate of


many family fortunes. The innovator (the first generation) creates
an invention and makes a fortune, the next generation grows and
sustains the invention into a mainstream product (and continues to
maintain the fortune), and the grandchildren live off the residual
profits of the original invention. If there isn’t a new invention to
spark new growth, the family’s fortunes dwindle.

Cornelius Vanderbilt donated $1 million to start Vanderbilt


University. Three generations later, there was a reunion of the
many grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Vanderbilt (on the
75th anniversary of the university’s founding). Not one person in the
third generation had a net worth above one million dollars. What
happened? The “S” curve refers to the creation, sustaining and
distribution or dilution of wealth.

Sydney Omarr describes this cycle when he talks about the history
of a successful new product. The pattern of creation, reflection,
expansion, hard work, communication, consolidation, confusion,
reward for hard work and the ending or unraveling is predictable (or
at least easy to describe with hindsight). The outcome is greatly
determined by timing. Omarr’s method concluded that our
subconscious mind is closer to knowing the next turning point than
the conscious mind. How can we tap the subconscious? That’s
the genius behind the Thought Dial™.

208 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


This is the shape of the “S” curve of innovation and maintenance. The
other possibility shows a decline. (The cycle is often used to describe
the evolution of a product: first, introduce a product, then expand
production, then watch new competitors steal market share). Source:
www.stsc.hill.af.mil/crosstalk/1999/11/paulk2.gif

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_function

The following comments were found on a blog by Rajagopal Sukumar of


Chennai, India. The author’s points can be used as a way of describing the
typical cycle.

While the saying “success begets success” has almost become a


cliché, there is no dearth of stories covering inexplicable
failures of extremely successful people and corporations.
Reading some of these stories and the books on this topic led
me to the question: What if there is something fundamental
that we are missing about success that leads to all these
spectacular failures?

S Curve
My research brought me to the fascinating concept of the S
Curve. Apparently, when you plot expertise with respect to
time, it traces an S-shaped curve.

Life Happens: You Can Fix It 209


(The author describes the process of learning a skill, going from slow
acquisition to gaining more dexterity over time. After gaining some mastery,
the need for learning more diminishes, so the top of the curve tends to
flatten. The author calls the top of the S curve “the slope of diminishing
returns.”)

Success is Transitory
Many people succumb to the effects of hubris, which gives
them a false sense of security because the world believes and
acknowledges that they are the experts in that field.
Unfortunately, the world keeps moving and some other new
skill becomes important, which renders this expert obsolete.

(The author discusses how “success causes people to fail because some
strengths have become so accentuated to now be the cause of their failure.”
He then asks, “Is there a way out? What do we do after we reach the peak of
the S curve?”)

Conclusion: Start a New S Curve


One answer is that we can start a new S curve. By analogy,
consider mountain climbing, which is sort of similar to learning
new skills. Initially, we start at the bottom with a clear
estimate and a timeline to climb the mountain. As we come to
grips with the terrain of the mountain, we are able to climb
more efficiently and reach the summit. Having reached the
summit, we cannot stay there for long, depending on the
altitude.

In a similar way, when we reach the top of the S curve of a


particular skill, we should start the S curve of the next
important skill. Ultimately, our skill set should look like a
mountain range with a lot of mountains (or a lot of S curves) in
it representing various skills that we have learned.

Many of us trace multiple S curves in our lives as we


learn new skills, but mostly these are incremental or
evolutionary transitions. It is harder to make major or
revolutionary transitions—ones that involve us moving from one
career to a completely different one—say, a teacher becoming
a politician.

(The author looked at a list of 100 greatest people published by Time


Magazine. He looked for people who were successful in at least three
unrelated careers. He found two people: Albert Schweitzer, musician,

210 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


theologian, doctor, humanitarian, social reformer -- and Benjamin Franklin,
printer, publisher, inventor, statesman, politician).

Many scientists have shown that when you expect something to


turn out a certain way, it almost always does—a self-fulfilling
prophecy. As a note of caution, while we should be aware of
the S Curve and how it affects us, we should not automatically
assume and expect that the S Curve will play out no matter
what we do. —Rajagopal Sukumar

In short:
Sydney Omarr describes the cycle of innovation, development and
decline. He points to an important way out of decline: Start your
next S curve – begin a new cycle. As Rajagopal Sukumar wrote
in the excerpt quoted above, “Is there a way out? What do we do after
we reach the peak of the S curve? One answer is that we can start a new
S curve.” Sydney’s The Thought Dial™ moves us in this direction.
Rather than focus on the status of decline, think about your next S Curve.

The Magic of Numbers

C’mon, Steve, you’re a rational guy.


Do you REALLY “believe” in numerology?
Do numbers REALLY control our lives?

Sydney was clever. He created a book about numerology without


using “numerology” or “numbers” in the title. The Omarr System
introduced the idea that numbers are a channel to our inner wisdom
and understanding. This edition for the 21st Century is a
reproduction of his book, published in several editions in the 1950s
and 1960s, with the addition of graphics, photos and highlighted
quotes.

Let’s applaud Sydney for creating a commercial success. But let’s


step back from the book and look at the topic of numerology. Is
there something to this idea that numbers are linked to our
psychology? If I park in space number 421 instead of 423, will I
have a bad day?

No -- and yes. Numbers don’t control our lives. WE control our


lives. We make the choices. We can choose to have a bad day.
We are responsible for our decisions. There are forces that push
us toward or away from our goals. There are patterns in those
forces. What we need is a way to organize and describe those
forces.

That’s the beauty of The Thought Dial™. We can assign a neutral


name to certain forces. ONE is the force to begin, NINE is the
force to complete. We don’t have to use terms from the zodiac and
we don’t have to use astronomical terms (conjunction, opposition)
to conjure images of astrology. We can describe the typical stages
of a cycle in ordinary English. Numerology does a good job of
giving us the vocabulary that enables us to look at patterns and
cycles.

I don’t believe that a number or a planet is compelling me to do


something. The sum of my choices in the past have pushed me
into my current circumstance. What shorthand method can I use to

212 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


describe my current situation? Am I at the middle of the cycle? IF
so, should I be aware of self-deception or is it time to expand,
communicate and travel?

I use Thought Dial to set a theme. If I tell myself that “now is the
time to act,” I will be confident. People around me will be more
likely to respond to my positive mental attitude. I send out a
vibration. If I think that today is not a good day to sign a legal
document, The Thought Dial™ works for me.

Steve

Note: Steve is an author, educator and video producer. Most


parents want to believe that their children are being taught by
rational adults unswayed by ephemeral forces and who don’t
believe in unseen agents, other than gravity and the wind. The key
to numerology as part of a child’s education is to promote verbal
dexterity. A child can use the language of astrology and
numerology without necessarily believing that there is a “force” that
is propelling each individual. It doesn’t matter what you believe.
You can and will benefit from this book. You are a stronger user of
English if you can comfortably use the vocabulary that Sydney
employed in his writings.

“The Thought Dial is not based on a


belief. It is an acceptance.”

# Tu Subconsciente quiere decir…
1 Empiézalo. Rompe con el pasado. Avanza, vete por tu cuenta, actua.
Empieza nuevos projectos, toma la iniciativa. Sí!
2 Ve con la corriente. Si no hay noticias es buena noticia, espera.
Recarga, prepárate para la próxima face. Se paciente. Atiende tu casa y
a tu familia, pospón decisiones, está alerta.
3 Confusión. Estás tratando de hacer demasiado a la vez. Está alegre. Se
entusiasta (sin extravagancia). Evita la energía perdida. No te decaigas.
Te quieres extender, pero enfoca tus esfuerzos.
4 Enfócate en tu trabajo, no dejes los detalles a otros. Revisa dos veces.
Trabaja ahora para construir el futuro. Persistencia, determinación, no
cambios repentinos.
5 Cambia, viaja, comunicación, variedad. Adelante. Investiga algo
nuevo o diferente, hazlo ahora, se creativo. (Cuidado: Evita excesos).
6 Busca armonía. Escucha a los demás. Atiende los asuntos de tu hogar.
No te demores. No compliques las cosas actuando a la fuerza. Se
diplomático. Repara algún descuido.
7 Está alerta de no engañarte a ti mismo. No firmes contratos. Saca
tiempo para reflexionar. Evita obligaciones. Permanece solo - no
sentiras soledad. Analiza, examina, simplifica.
8 Sigue adelante para que coseches las recompensas. Haz tus propias
oportunidades. Ambición, finanzas e inversiones. La ganancia material
sera tuya si trabajas duro. Hazlo ahora.
9 Completa. Termina. No empiezes un projecto. Estancarse es
aprisionarse a si mismo. Es el momento de actuar vigorosamente.
Trabaja para traer un ciclo a su fin. Prepárate para la nueva era.
11 Confia en tu intuición. Hazle caso a tu corazón. Evita sugerencias de
ser “más práctico”. Escucha tu conciencia. Aprovecha la oportunidad.
22 Piensa en grande. Evita los detalles. No comprometas tus ideales. Se
diplomático. La ambición está alta, se sensitivo. No seas insignifacante o ineficiente.

220 The Thought Dial for the 21st Century


Let’s conclude with Henry Miller’s observation…

The value of the Thought Dial lies in


the discovery – sooner or later --
that all the answers to all questions
must come from within. When one
becomes truly aware of this ancient
truth, one will learn to ask the right
questions. The first thing to find out
is this: are you prepared to
accept the response that you
provoked?
