Jasmine was surprised when Professor Domingo referenced her thoughts on the Pythagoreans. Well alright for Girl Power! Now it was time to put her thinking cap on because the Professor had thrown out the first challenge. Jasmine was concerned because she did not fully grasp the Vibratory Influences so comparing them to the currently accepted number definitions would be......interesting.

Jasmine took out her notes from the last class and opened her book to the assigned page. Guess she'd be working alone because her partner in crime wasn't there to work with her. Aaaaaand she was sad again or still. (Insert depressed sigh here).

SPOILER!!: Jasmine's notes
One: The Vibratory Influences(VI) consider one the generator of all numbers, but then state that is is not actually a number. Confusing. The currently accepted meaning (CAM) makes more sense to me. One represents a beginning (whereas six represents a beginning in VI). One represents the first, the original.....innovation. Also one is a single, solo, alone. If it represents a person and they were alone, they would tend to be independent.

Two: The male/female thing definitely did not make sense to me. The VI and CAM are different in that way as there is no male/female designation currently. Thank goodness! I did not understand the opinion/ division explanation either. Was that related to the perception of females during that time period? Once again the CAM made more sense to me. Two=a pair. Relationships involve two people and collaboration involves at least two people. With the CAM, two is also related to harmony and unity. With the VI, unity is related to the number one. Harmony is related to number three. I'm not sure about the human magic reference for number two.


Whew. Jasmine had gotten a little long winded with her notes. She'd have to be a little more concise with her next seven comparisons or she would not finish before class was over. Looking down at her book, she moved on to number three.
