Life Happens:
You Can Fix It!
The Thought Dial™
For the 21st Century
Sydney Omarr
Updated Edition by
Jeraldine Saunders
Steve McCrea
Life is filled with decisions. Making the right decision, moving in the
most beneficial direction, can be a valuable and sometimes life-
changing ability.
Sydney Omarr
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.
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:

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 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.
Focus on family!

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.
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?”
Examples:
1+8=9
2+7=9
3+6=9
1+2+3+3=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
1+7=8
1 + 9 + 8 = 17 1 + 7 = 8 (same result)
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.”
13 + 38 = 51
1 + 8 + 3 + 3 = (9) + 3 + 3 = 6.
======
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
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.”
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.
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
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?

From the Fifth Edition of The Thought Dial™
“I have your book, Thought Dial™. I use it all the time. And the
answers come out right eight to nine times out of ten.”
Buffalo, NY
“The big question around here for months has been, “Can we
remain at Carnegie Hall or will we have to move?” The Thought
Dial™ said, ‘Wait and see – no news is good news.’ And so it has
been. While have the building is now empty, we are still here and
plan to stay, with expectation of new management coming in any
day from now.”
Ariel Yvon Taylor
New York, N.Y.
“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.

a different “look” with a varying number of spokes. This is seen in

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

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.
