Nika twirled a strand of hair around her finger. At least that's what she thought she read. "And er Karmic Debts are err the debts that people get that are related to abuse and other bad type things. It's really saying that your future will give you chances to redeem yourself kinda." Nika raised her eyebrows and gave her professor a unsure look. Hopefully that would do. As to which numbers and such she couldn't remember. Her brain could only retain so much information at a time. Well clearly some of the first years had studied up on karma! Either that or they've read the textbook. "Precisely right, Miss Adler. Couldn't have said it better myself." Well actually, she probably could have, but ssh! Quote:

That sounded like a pretty good summary. ...and Karmic Debts? Hmm... "A Karmic Debt is, I think, a chance to correct what didn't do right in the first place. You find it by checking to see if a 13, 14, 16, or 19 was in your Birthday Number, Maturity number, or four Core Numbers before they were reduced."
Merlin, that was a lot of information! Oh good, at least someone was awake and paying attention the second part of the question; what you use to find these karmic numbers. "Yes. Finding your karmic debts is a much more time consuming process than finding your karmic lessons, as you have at minimum six numbers to actually run the calculations for." Good thing they had a little bit of time. Quote:

After considering what she was going to say she raised her hand to address Professor Hadley.
"Professor... is it that a karmic lesson is, the number which reflects what we must learn in the present or the future because we have not learned it in the past?" she paused for a breath, still unsure as to whether or not she was making any sense.
"And... karmic debt... is the representation of all the wrongs we have done in our past? so that way.. we'll have an understanding of what we need to do in order to make up for our wrong doings?"
Yep... Karama.... was.... complicated.
Focus!
"Um... to calculate our karmic debt number we need out birthday number, maturity number or one of our four core numbers."
Yes... yes they did.... she thought. *confused* "Ultimately, yes, that is correct in regards to what karmic lessons and debts are." Fina said, nodding at the older girl, who well, by now she should be able to grasp this stuff easily, considering younger classmates do. "But actually, with the karmic debt number, its not ONE of your four core numbers, but ALL of them that you need." But if it showed up in one of them, then that would be a karmic debt. Confusing yes, indeed if you didn't pay attention to those minute details. Quote:

Some relationships will impose very "heavy" karmic lessons. Examples of these are:Illness, Addiction, Criminality, Death, and Betrayal."
Well, that summed up karmic lessons. Now karmic debts...
"Karmic debt means that something negative happened in the past that must be addressed in the present or the future before you can continue to enjoy your life fully," said Samira. "I guess the difference is that Karmic Lessons are...well, lessons. Things you learn from. And Karmic Debt is paying up for something you did before."
That was an acceptable answer wasn't it? Samira was a bit nervous; this was never really her strongest subject... Josephina stared at the next girl... A young Slytherin and blinked a few times. What did she? Swallow an encyclopedia? "Now Miss Spinks, if tape recorders worked at Hogwarts, I'd have loved to have tape recorded you. Because to me, that just sounded like A LOT of words and perfect reciting of the textbook."
In other words, acceptable, but totally textbook recycled. ooc: Please don't copy word-for-word from sources. The least you could have done was listed the resources used, but nonetheless it's STILL plagiarism which is BAD and makes a sad Professor Hadley. =( Quote:

"Professor Hadley," Kurumi said raising her hand. "As we have already discussed, karma is the energy created based on the relationships and actions we have done in our past and present lives. Karmic debt, as is my understanding, is a result of negative actions you have done. Most of the time, these come from mundane activities. For example, if your profession was a tree cutter, you would build up karmic debt to nature with each tree you cut down. The only way to repay this debt would be to do something positive for the environment."
She paused for a moment to consider the other half of what Professor Hadley had asked. "I think that Karmic Lessons come as a result of our Karmic Debt. The only way to pay back the debt earned is to understand the reason why we got it in the first place. If one continues to think they are a victim of karmic activities, but does nothing to ease that suffering, then that person has not learned their karmic lesson and will continue to earn karmic debt." "Very wise understanding of the subject matter, Miss Hollingberry." Professor Hadley said, nodding and smiling subtly at her example. Clearly she's had some experience with karma or something. Quote:

"Karmic lessons are the numbers missing from your birth name, and are lessons you'll need to learn in the future, because you haven't experienced them in your past. You need the number that results when you turn your birth name into numbers, and which digits are missing. Karmic debts are things you've done in the past that you need to correct. You need the most frequent digit that appears when you turn your birth name into numbers." Wow. That... was a lot. Ariana was quite surprised that that all came out of her mouth just now actually. Hmm, guess she knew more than she knew she knew!!! "Um...." Fina eyed the girl carefully, pondering what she was saying. "Right about the Karmic lessons, but well for Karmic debts, you're looking for four particular numbers to be present before the final reduction of your Birthday number, Maturity number, and core numbers." And hopefully that made some sense. Maybe. Either way, they were moving on, because there wasn't much time left. Moving on .... "As Miss Greingoth mentioned, you find your karmic lessons by using your full name listed on your birth certificate. Below each letter, you should write the corresponding number associated with each letter according to the Pythagorean Number System. The single digits missing are your karmic lessons."
Flickering her wand, her own name spelled itself out on the chalkboard for an example:
J-O-S-E-P-H-I-N-A F-A-I-T-H H-A-D-L-E-Y
1-6-1-5-7-8-9-5-1 6-1-9-2-8 8-1-4-3-5-7
"As you can see from my--" long, Fina inserted mentally. "name. I have no Karmic Lessons. Go ahead and write out your own names and discover if you have any missing numbers and therefore missing energies from that number." ooc: I'll be continuing onward with the lesson in about 12 hours or so... Though you'll still be welcome to backtrack and calculate out your karmic lessons for as long as the lesson is going, which won't be past Sat night, Sunday morning the latest ;D
