Personally, I believe certain numbers are linked by way of their makeup. I believe they are a part of life that bring about balance and an understanding of balance, that either keeps us going straight to where we need to be headed, or just going around around in a circle.
The shortest point from A to B is a straight line, but sometimes we miscalculate in a decision and get a little off course. Then we have to either recalculate that decision to get back on track, or keep making the wrong decisions and just make that circle bigger and bigger. Making it harder and harder to break thru.
Kind of like the Book of Numbers out of the Bible. (Numbers Summary) Which, to me is a fitting name for this book. They where trying to get into the "Promised Land", (from point A to B). They couldn't get their minds right, ("Faith"), and where sent to wander aimlessly for 40 years. Why 40 years? I dunno. My theory is the "number" its self. 40 With my thinking about numbers, 40, is either 40, 45, or 70, 75. 4 and 7 to me are even/odd opposites. While 0 and 5 are also. According to the Bible, 7 is God's number while 6, or 666, is the devil. I see 40 as (4+0) 4 being the even equivalent of 7 and 45, with 5 being the odd equivalent of 0, (4+5) 9. Giving two choices of either 7 (God and Faith) or 9 (Devil and no Faith) . 6+6+6=18=1+8=9.
Anywho, onto the circle being 360 degrees , the 18 and 40 in that circle and my thoughts on that. 0 is the starting point of numbers. 9 is the beginning of the end of the cycle of whole numbers. After 9, numbers start into a new cycle and become something anew. If we start at 18° and run a straight line down thru the center, it will put us on 198°. So there we have 18 and 198. 18 is 1+8=9 and 198 is 1+9=18 and into 1+8=9. So 9 on both of those. With the 40° and a straight line to the opposite end, it brings us onto 220°. Same thing again, 40 is 4+0=4 and 220 is 2+2=4+0=4.
18 and 40. 18 comes from either 7 or 9. 8-1 and 1+8. 40 is either 6 or 4. (10)0-4=6 and 4+0=4. That gives us two even/odd corresponding numbers. 7 (odd) from the subtraction or negative effect of 18 and 4 (even) from the addition or positive of 40. Then 6 (even) from the subtraction or negative of 40 and 9 (odd) from the addition or positive of 18. If I worded that right. If not, see the red and green cells in the picture with the degrees in between.
Now if you take those same degrees, 18 and 40, and go backwards with them on the circle, or fold the circle in half left to right, leaving the lines where they land, (picture on the right), you'll land on 320° (from the 40°) then run a straight line thru the center you'll land on 140°. Then the 18° backwards puts you on 342° down to 162°. Both equal 9. You still have your 9 showing up in both those additions of degrees but you've gained one on that 4. From 4 to 5. So,,, we have left the 4 behind as the circle comes on around and are headed more towards the 5 coming into play. On the wheel, or circle as it is.
What is odd to me, is the starting point of a circle. It starts like all numbers at 0. But 360° (9) is also set where the 0 is. The circle is infinite. It just keeps going around and around. Going nowhere really. With 9 showing up at even intervals at the start, halfway between the start and middle, at the middle, and halfway between the middle and end and again at the end. Just cutting the circle up into 4 even quarters (1/4) (.250), or halfs (1/2) (.5).
I guess there's a plenty thinking I'm just talking in circles here, ;) ;) but I'm trying to get to a point. LOL.
From what I've seen on these draws, looking at a circle, the date and even/odd opposites all that it kind of makes sense to me. You can take what I've talked about here and convert that info into time, date format information and possibly use it in helping to determine what may be coming up. Just use your clock for example. Time in quarters is 12, 3, 6, 9 then 12 again. Most drawings take place at 3 during the day, or close to that. At night, around but not anywhere that I know of at 12. (Maybe somewhere, but I haven't really checked all of the states.) Cut off time here in NC for the day draws is 2:45, at night is 11:00 with the day draw happening at 3:00 and the evening draw happening at 11:22PM. Why is the evening draw not at 12:00PM? 12:00PM is the end/beginning of one day to the next. Plus 1+2=3, or 3:00.
Could it be even possible that time and date has anything to do with what happens? I think so. Looking at the draws with the way numbers look.
(Example: 12/8/2015 NC Day Draw Second picture down in my post there. Look over in the right hand side in pink at the numbers in the two questions that start right about center of that picture and compare those numbers to the 0-5-3-9 that hit in that pick draw. That was the 12/8/2015 day draw here. 8-1-0 was the pick 3 for that same day. Now take the date of the draw. 12/8/2015. Month was 12 is 1+2=3. Day is 8. Year is 2015 is 2+0=2+1=3+5=8. That makes 3/8/8. With 3 being the negative opposite of 8? Looking at it that way on 3/8/8 NC drew 8-1-0 and 0-5-3-9 for the day draw. The day draw is closer to half of the day than the end draw of the evening. See that "half" in that statement? As the night grew closer into bringing us to 12/9/2015 and away from the 8th, the evening draw still had a little bit of the 8th still in it. The 12/8/2015 draws for NC had 0-2-5 for the pick 3 and 1-8-6-6 for the pick 4. Pick 3 doesn't look anything like 8 or 9, but that 8 did show up in the pick 4, with two 6's. 6 is the even opposite of 9. And what is 1+8? With that 0-2-5? 1 is the odd opposite of 2. 1 and 5 is? Then again with the pick 4 (1-8-6-6), 1+8=9+6=6+6=12 which =3. 3 being the negative opposite of 8 and the root of 9. Sum up the 12/8/2015 day draw numbers and see what that gives. 9 for the pick 3 and 8 for the pick 4.
Not sure if that will even start to make sense to anyone out here, let alone help. Right or wrong, it's just part of what I use to help and the way my brain processes it. Someone may see what I'm talking about with it though. Look at it as Twilight in a sense. And no, not that silly movie. ;)
