"Hi, guys!" She waved at everyone. "I'm the awesome Life Path Number, and I do exactly what my name says I do - help you trace your life's route. I give you an understanding of the path you will follow, or can expect to follow, in your life. But that's not all! I help you get an insight into exactly what will help or hinder you, in this. Your skills and stuff. Think of me as a big, warm lamp - I can show you the path and, in doing that, indicate what may, or may not, help you out. In the end, though, I'm only a lamp - I can help you see what you can depend upon, but it's up to you to put me to proper use, interpret me correctly, and let me guide you."
".... You know, you could think of me as the moon, too. I'm a really pretty number." Okay, scratch that.
"The calculation is fairly simple. You need to add the number of the month, the year and the day you were born, together. Reduce each value to a single digit, add the new values, and then reduce them again until you have a pretty, little digit you can flaunt as your Life Path Number."
What else?
"I'm generally all around awesome, and can help you become a better person, make better choices. Sooo use me wisely!" With that, she beamed at Professor Hadley again, and waited to see if she was allowed to sit again. This lesson was definitely turning out to be awesome. Impressive. Yes, Fina was thoroughly impressed by the girl's creativity. "Very nice, thank you, Miss Life Path Number." She grinned approvingly. Tad conceited, but since Life Path number was the first core number listed in the textbooks, this was understandable for it to think it be awesome. Quote:

Eh, hopefully Destiny understood that was a joke and didn't freak out.
Ugh, now, what did she read on the destiny number? Staring out at all the people, trying to keep up her smile, it started to falter slightly since now she realized...wow. A lot of people in the class. Didn't matter though. One laugh from one of them, and she'd be meeting that person for a special conversation after class.
No time for stage fright though! Her turn was up.
"Well, umm, hi? Supposedly, I'm the Destiny...number." Must, not, giggle! "I mostly calculate one's reason to live, or their purpose in life for other words. I also tell you the manners and behavior you should succeed in developing in your lifetime. But really, that's not all. I also get the marvelous opportunity of telling you what you must live up to in this lifetime, as well as what you are destined for, and we definitely can't forget...I also tell whether you fail in life or not. No, just kidding on that last fail or not part." Hopefully the Professor didn't mind jokes every now and then. "The Destiny number does tell, however, what opportunities for success may have, which in life, we all really need." Some more than others.
"And, to calculate the destiny number, it's rather simple. You all know your full real birth names. You know, the one on your birth certificates and that your parents gave you?" Like they all should know! "By using the Pythagorean Number system, you assign each letter in your full name the correct number that is laid out in the number system. Then figure out the reduced number of each name separately...before you add all those numbers together, and reduce to one, final, number."
Good enough? Evelyn thought so. "Purpose. Yes. Key points all covered. Thank you Destiny number." Not to be confused with Destiny person. Nope! These kids were all so creative in their descriptions though, Fina was slightly envious. Quote:

He faced the crowd confidently and started giving his answers, "So I am Cedric Nichol--" Wah! So, so lame. "No I am the Heart's desire, yep. I distinctively tell or describe to you your own secret thoughts and wishes." And getting a nose of your secrets is fun. Hehe. "With my help, you can fully know what you love best and umm, your foremost desire I think.
"And I also tell you the right dishes for feeding your soul. Not that you can feed it treacle tarts or so but feeding your soul just means to err, feed your soul by doing something that is just for you and makes you feel really good and with complete honesty, feeding your soul could be as simple as reading your favorite book or er," kissing your girlfriend or boyfriend! "listening to your favorite song or meditating for a while.
"And now, I'll tell you how to compute.. myself?" Hehe. This was really fun. "You just umm, need to layout your name and assign the appropriate numbers to each and every vowel in your name with the use of Phytagorean system. And by the way, the name listed on your birth certificate is the one that should be used on computing this core number and cognomens and other derivation of your names is therefore should NOT be used. After assigning the numbers to the vowels of your name, isolate and figure each name separately, add the reduced total of each name (first, middle(s), and last), then successfully reduced it to its single digit root number."
There. Done. So job well done? Hmmm. Nearly bursting out in amusement with Cedric started to introduce himself, Fina nodded as he quickly corrected himself into the point of view of a Heart Desire number. Very nice. "Yes, yes. Don't forget that this number also hints about your values." Quote:

"I'm the Personality Number and I describe what others remember about you after a first encounter, like your outer self or external image you project. In other words, I describe how others see you."
"The way I'm calculated is using your full name from your birth certificate. You lay out your full name and you assign the appropriate number to every constant using the Pythagorean Number System. Each name is to be done separately and reduced, then add the reduced totals all together; first, middle, and last. After the reduced numbers are added, the total is then reduced to a single root number." That sounded rather straight forward, she just hoped she made sense. Nodding at the fourth and final core number, she was about to agree when she frowned suddenly. "Consonant, you mean." She corrected the girl, with a soft smile. "But yes, precisely. The personality number basically describes the traits that people see. " Nodding at each of the volunteers, she turned back to the class. "Let's give a hearty round of applause for their wonderful improvisation efforts on being a core number!" Clapping herself, she looked at each again. "Thank you. You may each take your seats again."
"We're now going to move onto the calculation part of the lesson. But to do this I want to make one thing clear; we're all not perfect. I don't expect you to be perfect in your calculations, but I do expect you to try." Josephina explained, laying out the ground rules for calculations. "I understand math isn't all your strongpoints, which is also completely fine. But again, just try. Focus and concentrate, as there is no rush. We'll be starting with the Life Path and Destiny numbers at first."
Flicking her wand at the board, more writing appeared;
Life Path Number
DOB: 2 April 2044
4 + 2 + (2+0+4+4)
4 + 2 + 10
4 + 2 + 1
Life path number = 7
Expression/Destiny Number
Full Name: Josephina Faith Hadley
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
(43) + (26) + (28)
7 + 8 + 10
7 + 8 + 1
16/7
Expression/Destiny Number = 7
"Special considerations are to please make sure you add and reduce each component up first before totaling. For instance, I added all the numbers up in my first name, Josephina, to be 43 and then reduced it to 7 before adding that to the reduced digit for my middle and last names," Fina explained, pointed it out to the students. While chances are it shouldn't make a difference, it was best to be consistent and follow that format regardless.
"One more thing before you go ahead and calculate the Destiny and Life Path Numbers. I want you to each partner up with someone you do not know at all or very well. I don't want to see best friends or significant others be partners. And I want you to exchange names and birthdates and calculate each others' numbers." Why? Because it is easy to calculate your number and make it fit for you, but calculating someone else's is a whole different ballpark. "Any questions, please ask me."
*** OOC Notes: - Find a partner you don't know
- Exchange full names and birthdates
- Calculate your partners' expression and life path numbers
- Read the textbook interpretation and determine accuracy
- When done, do NOT chat
Unless you want MORE points lost *eyes* I won't hesitate to do it either, but rather sit quietly / don't post and wait for me to post up the next two numbers - Don't go ahead and calculate the other numbers [in here] before I post up instructions.
- Have fun with the interpretations!
- Questions? Ask me ^__^
- Finally, there is a good chance I won't be back to continue with the lesson until Midnight EST tonight, the 13th? 5am GMT on the 14th, so no rush. <3
