Not something they needed to know, but it was always nice to have a little back history.

"Yes, ultimately that is the beliefs set forth by karma, in its most simplest way of saying it. Thank you, Miss Browne," Professor Hadley nodded at the seventh year.

Moving on to explaining more about karma; "As mentioned, karma is not merely punishment or retribution, but more extended consequence of natural acts. It literally translates to deed or act and broadly defines the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction. These effects are able to be moderated by actions and is not necessarily fate. Ultimately, a particular action now does ultimately lead to some pre-existing future reaction or experience." Fina paused, allowing them to finish up their notes on that part before moving on. "Again, I repeat, karma is NOT fate, as we act with free will and despite what our numbers MAY tell us and guide us, we do still create our own destiny. But ultimately, what karma does try to offer us is that if one sows goodness, one will reap goodness."

"There are two important types to consider when talking about karma. Can anyone explain to me the difference between Karmic Lessons and Karmic Debts? What numbers are required of you in order to figure these out?"

Oohhh Emily only had a vague idea about that karmic lessons were and what karmic debt was... but still this was an opportunity the broaden her understanding. Brilliant!

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 calsulate 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*
