I Started to Lay the Background for My Post by Describing the Reason for My Thoughts referencing the Bible. That Description would invite a discussion of Religion that Evaluates Our Thoughts and Actions. That is for Each of us to Decide for Our self.
In my 68 Years, I have been very aware that Outcomes are a Function of Focus. Focus is Thought. Whenever I have Experienced a Sharp Focus, I have had what feels like an almost Perfect Outcome. There is in My Experience, no better representation of this than Golf. Standing on the Tee of a Par 3 with Water between Yourself and the Flag can (for most) produce a vision of a splash. That Vision, must not become a thought. When if Does it attracts the Outcome even though We tell Our self that We Don’t Want That! The Battle to Suppress the Thought Dims Your Focus and the Outcomes decrease in Desirability. Practice Enables one to Suppress the Vision. It can be locked away inside a sphere of Confidence or Faith. I have hit many balls in the Water; but, on a Few rare Occasions, I have had an unexplained Focus that did Produce a Perfect Result. Many Years ago, I stood over a ball next to the 150 Yard Marker and it happened. I Even told my playing partner that I was going to make this shot. I thought of nothing Else Even when the Ball sailed away, hit 1 foot from the Flag and went into the hole. What, I remember to this day is how peaceful the shot process was. That peace came from the complete elimination of doubt. I knew that I could do it and then just did it. During the process the Thought stayed in Focus. Ok, Enough with the Golf Metaphor. I will add that I and Daughter are alive because a moment of incredible Focus that compelled me to move to the Right going into a left Curve because a set of lights disappeared from the oncoming line of about 10 Cars. A Jacked up Chevy Pickup going very Fast Took the Lane that I vacated. A Women behind me had drifted just enough that the Truck put a 1” Crease down the side of her care.
Anyway, when it comes to the Lottery, I think these same Laws Apply when the Games are Honest. All of the Games have a “Winners Board” That we try to be on. The Games are Simple to play. The Odds of Winning are stacked against you and are compounded by the “House” take which is at least 50% at best. The Golf Metaphor falls short because in it one plays against themselves and a fixed terrain. You can play against others to find a winner. In the Lottery you play against an invisible opponent. All you now about this opponent is that it takes you money, spits out some digits, and pays you about ½ of the Odds Value of Achievement. To make more out of this is the Essence of what We Do here on the Systems Forum. Without these ideas, these “Ways to Play the Game”, there is nothing to “Practice”. Therefore, there is nothing in which one can feel confident. Personally, I am a “Big Data” Guy. I have manufactured “Big Data” for Quite a few Different Games. I have Several Different processes for Generating Series to Play. And that My Friends is the “Problem” or at the Very Best, my “Current State”. If My Golf Metaphor applies, I have to first banish the thought of my opponent and the Playing Field. I then have to Practice the Way to Play the Game until I feel good enough to be confident. That is going to be the most difficult to overcome since I know nothing about my opponent other that the Limit of his options. The one thing I know for a Fact is that he has to choose from a set of options. One way to Reduce the Options is to group them by similarity. I am not just talking about the Numbers themselves, but all of DNA Chains. That lets me make selections based on these Chains and mathematical comparisons of multiple Chains. Each “Ball” has its own current set of DNA Chains and a History of it’s Evolution. Selecting “Balls” by DNA Chains Basic to the Method. This is my approach and I am not Saying it is the Right Way. I use it only as an Example.
Lastly, I would say that Any System that you use could be the Right One someday. As you Practice yours, be Warned that Confidence Expression is Risky and should be Exercised with Caution.
The Law of Attraction is Real. It is the Pull of Gravity that is Warped by Your Thoughts and Alive by Your Actions. If nothing else, imagine that you are affecting the Pull of Gravity on the things that you Desire. Do Not Over Reach but Expect what you Wish for.
Never, Ever, give any thought to hitting your ball in the Water; but make sure you have another one with you just in case.
