Understanding the Principles of Numerator times Common Denominator
That Equals The Sum Total of All the Parts

different results.’ ~ Albert Einstein
Once again I found myself having the same end results in another relationship, in another job, in another argument and my life was not going as planned. It felt like I was spinning my wheels and getting no where fast. Talk about hitting the proverbial ‘dead end’. Hey! What’s going on here! Why do these things keep happening to me? Who moved me around, my life and my freedom!?!? Who’s behind the driver’s wheel of my life?
STOP this bus, I’m getting off!!
I have a strange and quirky sense of humor as I tend to hear music playing in the back of my mind at times. The ‘Twilight Zone ‘ theme song was playing in these moments. I really did at times expect to see Rod Sterling walking out from the wings and saying, ‘Welcome, Julia, all this time, you’ve really been living in the ‘Twilight Zone’.’ Me in shocking realization, screaming, Nooo!! …
I find when I have come out of these ‘crisis’ situations that I am experiencing a very lucid moment. Now, if I could just stay awake long enough, pay attention and learn to be true to the ‘I’ll never do that again!!’ heart felt confession. Well, that has truly been my intentions. I just didn’t understand what was causing the repeated patterns in my life. I just knew that I’d walked in circles more than enough times and desired new scenery, new roads to travel and new companions. Along with a new driver who knew all the best places to visit with the most beautiful scenic routes! In a ride equipped with a GPS system and cruise control.
I had to get to Higher ground and get another point of view.
In Asking my Source of Living, I was shown an interesting metaphor using a subject I did not pay a whole lot of attention to while in the throes of elementary education. Math. By not paying attention to the foundational definitions of the principles of math, I missed a key element in understanding the purpose of how to use what was being defined and the process to make it work. How to do the math to make it balance. Here is a basic definition;
Numerator X Lowest Common Denominator = Total Sum
The basic definitions of these words are interesting and worth understanding. They give me an easy practical way to work with a Keep It Simple System equation that can be repeated to give the same results every time I work with it. It doesn’t have to be reworked. I do not have to reinvent the wheel.
Numerator means; expression in the top location or what’s on the surface, being static or changeable.
Lowest Common Denominator means; expression in the bottom location of the most basic, sensible level, being fixed or unchangeable.
These two combined are equal to the total sum of all the parts of the equation. Total Sum means; that which, gives a standard based origin or source sharing in characteristics or common features. Or, this plus this adds up to, equals this. Let’s see if I can solve this equation using words in the most simplest of fashions. I like to keep things simple and travel Light.
The numerator is the first figure to ’show’ up on top, revealing what is going on in the lower hidden yet supportive mind of my picture, my conscious awareness, my thinking mind, is based on the way I am reacting or responding emotionally to whatever I am thinking about, by defining how I what I think I see is happening. The lowest common denominator is the underlying, supportive figure (my subconscious or hidden heart mind) of what is being accepted (received and believed) in whatever thought forms (outer figures) are being shown to me, the results of my math working the equation.
My subconscious mind gives weight (belief) to what the conscious mind’s (thoughts of view) is agreeing with by seeing it, so that what one is experiencing either balances, harmonizes together or disharmonizes by ones feelings and what one is seeing not being in agreement. One feels unrest when experiencing dis-harmony. Something is just not matching up in the sum equation …
The subconscious (lower denominator) just agrees with the conscious mind, to balance with it. A ‘What you see is equal to what you feel and believe to be true.’ The numerator and the lowest common denominator when brought together, is then reduced down to the simplest, basic results (the sum total) and the sum total reveals what the conscious mind says it thinks it sees being supported by the feelings of the subconscious mind in the same moment.
The sum total just gives you the ‘evidence’, the results of this combination. That’s all, that’s it.
All this is ‘adding’ up to is Asking; ‘Is it possible (anything is possible) that what I am receiving as ‘the results’ of (what is showing up in my life) is a direct manifestation of what I am creating by how I am thinking and feeling about something and is therefore equal to what I am seeing in my life circumstances?
Is how I am choosing to emphasize, support what I am seeing being supported by based on what I am putting my belief (weight of emotions) into, what lies underneath is what is creating what is happening or showing up in my life? H mm…
Are my results that seem off possibly due to the way I am doing the math? Is the way I am doing the math in need of correction?
I wonder … so, how I am seeing and feeling about this picture, is allowing me to see that I am drawing my very own conclusions down to a simple core value, based on these two ideas working together to create a balance.
Do I tend to think of this by choosing only two answers of; this is good or this is bad?? (Am I Labeling also known as limiting my options?) How can I define what good and bad are and what sum total am I basing these definitions on? Are these definitions the only ones or do they have the ability to be changeable? Can I change what I am seeing by also changing the underlying emotion? Am I deciding to separate my emotions out (projecting and complicating the ‘problem’) as in, ‘Oh no! this is bad! or Mm!! This is good!!?’ I have just created a split of only two sides of possibilities of answers in my conscious mind by separating my emotions into these two categories. Right or wrong answers. Two different, opposite ways of looking at many ways of feeling something about my current experience. A possibility, Yes?
Creating a ‘complicated’ math to the nth degree …
How do I go about changing the outcomes? How do I turn the ‘problem’ into a solution of;
‘This is easy, there is no unsolvable problem when I know how to do the math?’
I Invite a Higher Mind. By reducing it all to the core value. Doing a simpler math.
Have you ever asked yourself, ’just where are these labels coming from?’ Are they someone else’s ‘borrowed’ definitions of what ‘good or bad’ is or are they my own ideas based upon a Higher Mind’s definition of Its Eternal Truth that All is Well, Perfect, it all comes together? What if (imagine) by removing the labels, limitations of there being only two ways to do the math, good or bad, I say It Is what it Is. It’s Perfect. Every answer is reduced to One or Zero .
Taking a step into the in between, not either or, and looking at it this way allows me to view Life like I am watching and enjoying a variety of movies. Up and down hills butterflies in my tummy, chase scenes, adventure, romance, intrigue, mystery, drama, thrills, chills, etc….
Differently defined yet, in genre, they are all movies.
I ask you, does everyone agree on what these definitions mean? Does good and bad mean the same exact thing to everyone else’s ideas? Obviously not. So, when we are not in agreement, all others definitions of ‘good and bad’ are therefore changeable in definition, they are numerators which are supported by denominators which are all being supported by the total sum of all the parts of the equation in each one!! Who decides for me or you what defining ‘good or bad’ means for me or you? Is it you or you or you? Yes, and any number of ones, only if I allow it by choosing to believe it and not deciding for myself.
And this makes for a very complicated mathematical ‘problem’ or it can lead to doing a Simpler method of doing the Math.
Allowing ones to do their own math.
I want to live my own life as we all do. I desire to be the main character in my movie as we all do. By giving myself permission to be the star or focus, connected to the Source of living my life, I can respect, enjoy and allow you to be connected to the Source in yours. We balance, we are equal. We are free to Be in harmony with one another.We are free to agree on the same foundational balance of Harmony ~
We now have lots of movies and characters to enjoy together.
Freedom to Live and Let Live in agreement to the sum total of the equation. Sharing a core value by reducing it all down to agreeing on the same idea to all these seeming problems.
By being made aware and shown the results of my own thinking and feeling process, I am now able to see by making this connection, that what I see or experience with my feelings is my choice, it’s my decision in the way I choose to think and feel about anything or anyone. I just changed the equation in my math. The denominator just wants to support the numerator in balancing the sum total in the simplest way to deliver it. The numerator and denominator always agree, they just don’t seem to be agreeing when I don’t see them as working together to get to the sum total. The answer seems to escape me… I’m not getting it … for some reason things aren’t coming together, into harmony.
I am always receiving what I am Asking for, I am being supported in everyway. I am matching the what I am seeing with what I am feeling is true to me in the moment.
I want to see Perfect Harmony. As in you and in me by realizing first, as I see It in myself I will see this in you.
A Course in Miracles says,’Ideas leave not their Source.’
I can change the total equation, by changing my mind on both levels, working together as they always do, only now I have found a simpler way of doing the math so the consistent answer brings me confidence in the sum total. So I receive the on the top what is on the bottom.
Now, I am excited to do the math!!
I get IT!! I see it now!! Wow! This is so easy and I was making it all so hard!!
Because I missed the foundational principles of doing the math which, reduces all the parts of the equation into ITs simplest form. The core Value.
I’m blazing new trails……….
I’m making new movies….
