1
Hello, everyone.
2
It is Felicia Bender, the Practical Numerologist.
3
We are continuing our series on how to understand the numerology of your name.
4
So we have several in this series, first name, middle name, last name.
5
And right now we are going over the capstone.
6
Okay.
7
So there is a number in numerology called the capstone, and it is the last letter of your first name.
8
Okay, so what does this bring to us?
9
The capstone indicates how you might tend to finish things up.
10
How do you finish something that you start in your life?
11
So interestingly, that last letter can give you an indicator.
12
So we're going to start with the full name as it appears on your birth certificate because as a reminder, we are using Pythagorean numerology here.
13
There are other numerologies.
14
What you are learning today comes from Pythagoras.
15
So here is the, here is the, the, the, what the tool to translate the chart,
16
um, one through nine, where we are going to translate each letter into a number.
17
Uh, this is the very basic way to do that take a look at it, pause for a minute.
18
You could write it down.
19
It'll be in the description box below.
20
You can take a screenshot, whatever works for you.
21
And yet, if you're going to go over this series on the numerology of your name, you will need this chart.
22
And it also helps you to, if you're interested in your soul urge number,
23
if you're interested in your expression or your destiny number in numerology.
24
This is the tool that you're going to need to, uh, to do that math.
25
All right.
26
So, um, let's look at a couple of examples here, just two.
27
All right.
28
Uh, because what we'll, what we'll do is, I don't know, just walk and talk through it.
29
So the last letter of the name Margaret obviously is a T and the T, if you reference that, uh, that chart that we just,
30
that we just showed on screen.
31
T is a number two, okay?
32
So the last letter of the name Thomas, if your name is Thomas, if you know someone named Thomas, the S is a number one.
33
So, okay, here we're going to do an encapsulization here, an overview.
34
So that capstone, last letter, the first name, here you've got those letter values over there on this infographic.
35
The meaning of it is
36
that this number really shows you how you might approach following through with projects with activities
37
and with commitments together with the cornerstone which we'll have
38
that in a separate video you can determine how you tend to start something
39
and then how you tend to finish it
40
so the capstone is is a word
41
that you can you know
42
you can derive its meaning simply by the word itself even in the academic world you can do a capstone seminar.
43
It basically is encapsulating all you've learned, right?
44
That sort of thing.
45
So a capstone basically is a culmination here.
46
So what I've attempted to do and not easily done, and this, again, please understand this is a short snippet, okay?
47
Numerology has depth and breadth that is really phenomenal.
48
So we're taking it in little bits and bytes.
49
So if you look here and, uh, look at the last letter of your name.
50
Uh, if it's a one, it's about all of the attributes of the number one.
51
It's assertion, independence, leadership, originality, pioneering, right?
52
The two is about relationships, sensitivity, intuition, um, learning how to, how to really galvanize who you are and,
53
uh, from the inside out, right?
54
Because the two tends to have tendencies to be more of a peacekeeper, more of a shapeshifter in terms of pleasing others.
55
The three is about words, creativity.
56
It's about emotional expression, creative self -expression, all of those things.
57
The four, when I say fear slash control here, I want to be really clear.
58
It's about, the four is about, you know, systems, it's about security, it's about stability.
59
And so anything that kind of moves outside of
60
that trajectory for the four is it makes it makes anyone who has this for kind of nervous.
61
Because it's like the four wants wants it all laid out.
62
It's yes or no, it's right or wrong.
63
It's this or that it's black or white, right?
64
So the fear comes around fear of the loss of control or the fear of the chaos.
65
uh around so the the four is always learning to be a little bit more flexible uh with life
66
and with problem solving and with everything else
67
so the five is about responsible freedom constructive use of freedom adventurousness uh fearlessness all the things
68
that go with the five the six love acceptance the the
69
key words for the six love uh home family love duty
70
service those sorts of those sorts of energies the seven is uh is spiritual wisdom trust it's also the analyst
71
and the seeker okay the eight the money number money power control authority the nine is about compassion humanitarianism forgiveness
72
it's uh altruistic highly creative it's a very sacred uh pathway as all pathways are
73
and yet the nine uh particularly so then
74
if you have an 11 a 22 a 33
75
that is a considered a master number those are the repeating
76
you know the double one is the 11 double two double three
77
and so on and yet in this context the 11 22
78
and 33 is the most common to show up
79
so again the uh
80
if you take a look at this it'll give you a
81
basic idea about how you may tend to finish something so
82
if we were to do just a again a brief example uh with margaret she has the capstone is a two.
83
So ultimately, this would indicate that she completes her projects, the actions, experiences that she has with the good of everyone in mind.
84
She's sensitive, intuitive, and is focused on keeping the peace.
85
She's very loving and supportive.
86
Now, always, always remember that in numerology,
87
we're always going to have some more substantial challenges in those areas that we're working with, right?
88
And that we're working on and working toward.
89
So whenever I talk about these things, really always keep in the back of your mind that it could be just the opposite.
90
So I know, I know some, one Margaret in particular, who had kind of a surface level of this,
91
and yet underneath it, it was a little bit of the opposite.
92
So again, we have to also understand that that's part of the process of life.
93
We're always, we don't get plopped in on planet earth being these perfect little beings, How boring would that be?
94
So we always have to take that into consideration for both ourselves and for others, right?
95
For other people, it helps us really understand other people better as well.
96
So if your name is Thomas, that last letter is an S.
97
The S is a number one.
98
He might complete projects, the actions, the experiences that he might have with the desire to win, to be in the lead.
99
He is ultimately confident, innovative, and is focused on obtaining his own wants and needs.
100
And he's independent and, you know, in the scheme of things, a little bit disruptive, hopefully, in a positive way.
101
Once again, we're going to be working with the opposite whenever it shows up.
102
So to close, to in conclusion, so the cornerstone indicates how you start things.
103
You can take a look at that video.
104
And the capstone indicates how you finish it.

什么是跟读法?

跟读法 (Shadowing) 是一种有科学依据的语言学习技巧,最初开发用于专业口译员的培训,并由多语言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。这个方法简单而强大:您在听英语母语原声的同时立即大声重复——就像是一个延迟1-2秒紧跟说话者的影子。与被动听力或语法练习不同,跟读法强迫您的大脑和口腔肌肉同时处理并模仿真实的讲话模式。研究表明它能显着提高发音准确性,语调,节奏,连读,听力理解和口语流利度——使其成为雅思口语备考和真实英语交流最有效的方法之一。
