Giving 100%

[Brother_Monk]

From a strictly mathematical viewpoint it goes like this:

What makes 100%? What does it mean to give more than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all heard certain people say they give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here's a little mathematical formula that might help us answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

*and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

*and

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T-T-I-N-G
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20+20+9+14+7 =153%

And look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that, while Hard Work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it's the Bullshit and Ass Kissing that will put you over the top.

lol good one

 

[treble]

yeah nice one... hehe

[Pops]

For women in the workplace,100% is not enough. Here is a sure winner!

p-u-t-t-i-n-g-o-u-t

16-21-20-20-9-14-7-15-21-20= 163%

 

[Brother_Monk]

^^^^Hahahahah Pops ....can you say....^^^^

S-E-X-U-A-L
18+5+24+21+1+12 =81%

H-A-R-A-S-S-M-E-N-T
8+1+18+1+19+19+13+5+14+20 =118%

81+118 = 199%

'Ya can't bullshit a bullshitter huh? Edited for Haps convenience lol!

 

[Gangabiss]

hahahaha nice one

 

[Irishslappop]

damn, being an antidisestablishmentarionist must rule.

 

[AKgrower]

i always liked math.

 

[marx2k]

I imagine the only way to give >100% of yourself is to pre-emptively snort a 4" line of meth.

Which makes me wary of people who say they are giving more than 100% of themselves towards any effort.

I always raise an eyebrow when people say they want to touch base with me, but that's a whole 'nother argument.

numerology
Numerology is the study of the occult meanings of numbers and their influence on human life. Some alleged psychics, like Uri Geller, claim that numerology helps them understand events such as the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

According to an advertisement in Parade magazine (Feb.25, 1996), the definitive text on numerology was written by Matthew Goodwin, an MIT graduate who once worked in the personnel department of an architectural firm. He learned "this science of numbers" (as he calls it) from a clerk at the office. The ad is a pseudo-article, a print "infomercial," allegedly authored by J.J. Leonard, and is nothing more than an invitation to send him $9 for a numerological reading worth "$80 or more." In his advertisement, he explains how numerology works.

It all starts with your name and birth date. They are the data base from which a numerologist is able to describe you, sight unseen. Number values are assigned to the letters in your name. By adding these--with the numbers in your birth date--in a multitude of combinations, a numerologist establishes your key numbers. He then interprets the meaning of these key numbers, which results in a complete description of your personal characteristics.

According to Mr. Goodwin, through numerology you can "see all the diverse parts of your personality and how they uniquely come together to make the person you are." This will enable you to "make the most of your strengths in a way that wasn't possible before."

Just what do you think the numerical odds are either (a) that a set of numbers associated with the letters of your name and your birth date will reveal who you are and what you should do with your life, or (b) that someone in personnel has figured out how to read those numbers? I'd say the odds are about zero. Nevertheless, numerology shouldn't be brushed off without a thorough examination of its underlying theory. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any. We are just supposed to take Mr. Goodwin's word for it that numerology works, even though we have no idea how it works. That is, numerologists can produce a "reading" for you, just as astrologers, biorhythmists and Myers-Briggs can. And you will be amazed at how "accurate" the reading is! You may not even be aware at how selective your thinking has become as you are dazzled by the accuracy of your reading.

When you get your reading, you may find yourself ignoring the parts that don't fit you at all, and focusing on those parts that do seem to fit. They may actually fit you or they may fit your image of how you would like to be. No matter; if they fit, you may fall for it. You may even be tempted to go one step further and call your own personal psychic on one of the "friends" psychic hotlines. (I think the $9 numerology reading might be cheaper, though.) The testimonials for numerology and the telephone psychics are quite similar. Marriages are saved, jobs are landed, personal problems are resolved and love is found.

Some of the attractiveness of numerology and psychics comes from the desire to find somebody who will tell you that you are full of hidden strengths and powers, and who will reinforce your deepest needs and emotions. Yet, one must be desperate if one doesn't mind that the encouragement comes from a total stranger with no knowledge of who you are. Of course, some people are simply waiting for somebody else to tell them what to do with their lives. On the other hand, at times, each of us is vulnerable. We feel unloved, misunderstood, confused, or rudderless. The testimonials sound good or a friend is a satisfied customer, so we give it a try.

But the real attractiveness of numerology, over say palm or crystal reading or other non-numerical personality analysis and prophecy, is that numbers give the quackery an aura of both scientific and mystical authoritativeness, especially if complex statistical analysis is involved. The ad mentioned above for Mr. Goodwin's $9 numerological reading, cites Pythagoras as the father of numerology. Certainly, the Pythagoreans were a cult with esoteric notions about the universe and numbers, including the notion of the harmony of the spheres. No doubt they found something mystical about the relations of sides of triangles, which we have come to know as the Pythagorean theorem. But there is no evidence that Pythagoras thought he could analyze his disciples' personalities by assigning numbers to the letters of their names and their birth dates. For one thing, he would have realized the unreasonableness of such a notion. Different languages have different alphabets; different cultures use different calendars. It is unreasonable enough to think the universe is arranged according to numerical transcriptions of names, but to think that there are several equivalent transcriptions to accommodate cultural differences stretches the limits of credibility almost to infinity. Even if the universe were so unreasonably designed, how would we ever know which "reading" of a person's numbers is the "correct" one? Does the concept of "correct reading" even have meaning in this so-called discipline?

It is one thing to recognize that many things in the universe can be explained by reduction to mathematical formulae. The formulae can be tested and demonstrated to be accurate or not. It is quite another to claim that somehow the name you are given at birth was preordained to coincide with the date of your birth and to be coordinated with certain numbers so that certain special people (the numerologists!) could calculate from this data who you are, what you will be, what you need and feel, and what you should do. It is a long, long way from Plato's admonition to those entering his Academy that they should know geometry, or from Galileo's assertion that Nature is written in the language of mathematics, to the notion that numbers related to my name are a key to who I am pre-destined to be. It is a misrepresentation of history to cite mathematical mystics or scientists who have been enamored of mathematics, as fellow travelers. In any case, even if Pythagoras, Plato, Kepler, Galileo, and Einstein were all numerologists it would not make the theory of numerology one iota more plausible.

Lesson Two - The Alphabet in Relationship to Numbers
A Numerologist sees numbers as vibrational expressions. Numbers are also associated with letters. Both numbers and letters describe certain vibrational patterns. These patterns are forces that manifest within a person's life and their environment.

By examining a persons name and birth date an interpretation can be made. The individual's "snowflake pattern" exists in relationship to the ever-present vibrations or expressions of the universe. These constant expressions are wave like cycles and come full circle in a sequence of nine degrees. Like a lotus blossom illustrates, the unfoldment of human consciousness is accomplished within this sequence.

Each letter is 'personified' (Definition: A rhetorical figure of speech in which inanimate objects or abstractions are endowed with human qualities) to help you better imagine the characteristics of each letter.

The letters of the alphabet correspond to the nine primary numbers as follows:


1 AJS
2 BKT
3 CLU
4 DMV
5 ENW
6 FOX
7 GPY
8 HQZ
9 IR


A (1)

This letter holds the vibration of a leader and is the most aggressive and self-starting of the alphabet. 'A' is very adventurous and pioneering and has much independence. It is very self-reliant. Liking to initiate, they often must learn through experience. 'A' is also a catalyst activating other vibrations around them. They have to learn how to be less self-absorbed sometimes and are often opinionated and stubborn until they learn how to channel their vibration. They love change and adventure.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

B (2)

This vibration is a sensitive helper and finds it's motivation through others. It seeks balance and is very good in areas calling for diplomacy, mediation, and improvement. This vibration responds well to appreciation and can be quite kind, gentle, and lovable unless it is lacking in confidence and self-appreciation. 'B' works best with others as a team member and can contribute much once it feels connected.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

C (3)

Within the 'C' is a spontaneous creator. Anxious to express its inspiration and originality, work and ideas flow. Sociable and friendly, a 'C' acknowledges joy as its greatest motivator. The round shape of the 'C' guarantees that what it gives out usually comes back to it! It is also quite sensitive and intuitive. The arts in many forms are embraced within the 'C'. In an unbalanced state, the 'C' can scatter its energies or have difficulty manifesting what it wants.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

D (4)

This vibration is a steady builder who holds onto responsibility as its teacher. It works long and hard and brings practicality, patience, and orthodox values. Sometimes the 'D' finds it hard to express itself and finds physical and tactile approaches to help it channel its energy. The 'D' is honest, true, and constant. Being in nature really helps a 'D' to access its qualities in a positive way. In addition, a 'D' is here to learn much about control and how to give acknowledgment to the self.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

E (5)

This vibration is quite versatile and inspirational. Holding onto freedom, it embraces travel, movement, and flexibility. It is straightforward and direct. It is usually interested in spiritual matters. It likes to learn and enjoys words, whether in written context or in speaking. It holds within it a lot of energy and vitality. With the amount of energy that moves through an 'E', it usually remains fairly calm. Too many 'E's' can bring on impulsiveness and restlessness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

F (6)

Within the 'F' is a need to serve humanity and an appreciation of that which is esthetic. There is a complexity to this vibration. It needs to be with others as it feels that its destiny is found in home and relationship. It holds values and principles very dear but it has a hard time with criticism. By expressing cheerfulness and channeling its energies in creative directions, the 'F' vibration finds happiness.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

G (7)

This is the vibration of the reserved thinker. Often misunderstood because of not speaking up, the 'G' is constantly within engaged in introspective thought. They have much patience and ability to assimilate knowledge. They must learn to build confidence, and through sheer will and determination, they usually gain much wisdom throughout life. Having a dreamy nature and much imagination, they often develop psychic abilities. Their determination helps them overcome obstacles. To be harmonious they need to be aware of the mental, spiritual, and physical aspects of life. Business partnerships are usually a difficult experience for the 'G'.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

H (8)

With an extreme awareness of the material world, this vibration often becomes quite successful in the areas of business and finance. It works methodically and has keen perceptions. It likes to advance itself and will work hard to achieve what it desires. Gifted with executive qualities, it usually finds itself in management roles. If it becomes confused by it's sense of power, it will have many ups and down and can experience difficulty in making reforms or changes. Most often it is aware of spiritual needs and embraces these in its ability to manifest what it values and needs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I (9)

Within in the 'I' you will find much sensitivity, intuition, and intensity with a strong focus on emotion. The 'I' wishes to contribute to humanity but often becomes distracted by what is reflected in its environment and life's dramas. It needs to have time alone to meditate and find its center. It may often sacrifice to give to others as it has a deep understanding of other's needs. It must learn self-compassion so that it is able to truly give what it so deeply desires. It also possesses much creative and artistic energy. Nature is a godsend for it helps the 'I' to stay somewhat balanced.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

J (10/1)

This vibration is also a leader but tends to be a little more cautious than the 'A'. It leads in an original and innovative way but its broad perspective may make getting started a little bit more difficult. It prefers action but often indecision is at the base of its ideas. It needs a little more support than the 'A.' It is optimistic and recovers well when difficulties arise. It has a good mind and is ambitious in a quiet way.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

K (11/2)

The 'K' holds a master vibrational expression in that it has a high potential for achievement and desires to inspire intuitively. It is very open to spiritual awareness and is an old-soul vibration that holds much wisdom. The 'K' expression often does not have many close friends. It doesn't lack the ability to create friendships. Instead, it expresses those energies primarily through teaching and leading many, as it holds within it much light. When 'K' is out of harmony it often attracts challenging situations. It is good at detail and is very creative. It dislikes second best. It appreciates affection and is capable of expressing much affection as well.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

L (12/3)

This vibration holds a magnetic attraction. It is a loving expressive vibration that enjoys the public and is the most mental of the threes. Its job is to express the joy of living and contribute of its originality. It has abilities to reason which facilitate its abilities to create and contribute in words and ideas. It is also sensitive and can be a bit critical when confronted.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

M (13/4)

A solid and hard working vibration is the foundation of the 'M.' There is a love of home and a protective nature. With practical approaches and organization, the 'M' desires to serve. This vibration is often hard to get to know as it sometimes limits its viewpoint and has a fear to expand its potential. It has intuition but often sees it as instinct. Its nature can assist in managing material and practical affairs as well as managing others.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

N (14/5)

The 'N' loves to encounter change and movement. Therefore, it is always seeking excitement and variety. It can have interests in many areas and works extremely well with others. It knows how to motivate others to achieve ideas and is progressive in its thinking. It is a little more rational than the other five vibrations as it enjoys its mental abilities. It has a certain personal philosophy that it resonates with and is open to sharing its analysis. Often it receives some sort of public recognition and/or its purpose has to do with the public.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

O (15/6)

The 'O' holds within it a desire for responsibility and can take on more than its own share at times. It learns much about what it means to be of service and what it is like to give more than its share. It is usually traditional and conservative and finds its freedom through some form of creative appreciation (which may extend into its domestic surroundings). It retains what it gains as its disciplined nature knows what it takes to get what it wants. It attracts assistance and help along the way, as it learns to balance its nature. It values the spiritual in its daily life.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

P (16/7)

It is often difficult to know what the 'P' holds within its thoughts as it often is without expression. It likes to be alone to contemplate and has to learn how to channel its feelings. It is a thinker vibration and is capable of deep analysis and introspection. It often lacks determination and willpower to carry through its thoughts. With all this in mind, it does hold within it vast intuitive qualities and often possesses vision and an understanding of the unseen.

It has much emotion running through it and a deep need to contribute. Often it expresses as a teacher, writer, artist, or poet with a great potential to lead others. There is a certain nervous energy running through this vibration which can cause some delays or confusion. It is a self-starter.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

S (19/1)

This vibration is the more emotional of the leader vibrations. It has spiritual roots that are often expressed in unorthodox ways. It often follows a spiritual path. It can lead but often prefers to do it indirectly. It holds within it individuality and ambition but often feels alone. Independent and courageous, it will set an example to others of subtle ways to express emotion, which can create cooperation (which in turn is a demonstration of its power).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

T (20/2)

This vibration enjoys peace and will often prefer to follow rather than take the lead if it feels that it would promote ease. It does expect much from others but is usually quite patient and helpful. It desires relationship and enjoys closeness within its family. It often stays close to home, thrives from affection, and is quite gentle most of the time. It is a wonderful teacher desiring to help.

U (21/3)

The 'U' is a receptive channel. It takes in and flows out and often scatters its energies. Its challenge is to stay balanced. It is happiest when it feels supported. It is the more subtle of the three vibrations but holds within much creative and artistic ability which may take many different forms during a lifetime. Often it doesn't fully know what it possesses and must channel its creative energy through words, music, and/or voice to gain a sense of self. It can inspire others but is the more conservative of the three vibrations.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

V (22/4)

Actually, it wants simplicity and a settled lifestyle. It can attract worldly success as it is artistically talented and holds within it magnetic energy.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Y (25/7)

This vibration must learn to trust its intuition and psychic abilities. It has profound insights into higher matters and feels very deeply. It works best alone so it often feels lonely. It can be uncertain and vacillating. Meditation can help it get a sense of its connection to 'all-that-is' which can ease its loneliness. Its mission is to uncover the mysterious, the hidden, and bring about understanding. It often has a hard time committing itself to one thing, as it often senses before it more than one direction.

Numerology Home Play
Now let's apply what we've learned to your first name. Each of the letters in your name has a vibration as listed in the information above. Let's use the name of 'Kirk' as an example:

K 11/2
I 9
R 18/9
K 11/2


Make sure to write out your name just like the table above. Take some time to ponder the different vibrational frequencies that make up your first name.



Now lets 'digit down' each of the individual numbers that are associated with each letter in your name. Keep adding until you get one digit. For the name 'Kirk' it would be:

K 11/2 1 + 1 = 2
I 9 9 (only 1 digit) 9
R 18/9 1 + 8 = 9
K 11/2 1 + 1 = 2



Imagine how each of the letters in your first name blend to form one synergistic vibration. Sometimes you will have letters that seem to be opposites. Actually, they simply make up different parts of one whole. A diamond is one precious stone but its many facets display a number of different colors. One ray of white light can be refracted into many colors.

Now add the digited down number for your name. Then digit that number down to one digit. Here's how it works for the name 'Kirk':

2
9
9
2
= 22
2 + 2
= 4
The name Kirk is a 22/4



Now go to Lesson One and look up both 22 and 4 (not the 'D & V' in this lesson) and see what the vibration of 'Kirk' is. You'll see that 22/4 is a 'master number' and that we can interpret its vibration as 22 (without being digited down). It can be difficult for a master vibration to always remain at such an intense vibrational level, therefore it can also revert to a 4. Let's digit it down one more (2 + 2 = 4) to 4. So, since a 22/4 is a master number, it can express as both a 22 and a 4. (We'll talk more about master numbers in your upcoming lessons.)


In the same way, digit down the numbers in your name and look up the result in Lesson One.


Calculate some more names (including your last and middle names if you wish) and play with their meanings. (You can call this last exercise 'extra credit.')
Next Lesson
In Numerology Lesson Three we will talk about 'The Core Concept'. We all are much more than just one vibration. We have several parts to our nature and these parts make up our core. We will cover the key elements that make up this core in order to gain insight into our innate nature and talents, our deepest heart's desires, our potential purpose, and our personal characteristics. You will gain a greater understanding of how to synthesize these aspects as we progress through our course.

Thanks for the cut and paste pal! Here's , maybe that will help 'ya buy a sense of humor?

yes i guess i did deserve negative for that..cant please all..all of the time...by the way i did think it was funny...im just fascinated by numerology...sorry for the post...would you like me to delete it?
