Central Focus of the Life Path in Numerology

The upper horizontal division, labeled "Central Focus," contains discussions of the main lesson of each Life Path. The essence of the lessons are the keywords appearing adjacent to the number at the top of the table. The discussion in this upper division is an elaboration on the keywords. Read the central focus of your own Life Path and relate it to the keywords. Compare the central focus of your Life Path with the basic lesson of your Life Path number shown on Chart 1. Make this comparison with a few Life Path numbers of people you know well. You should begin to experience the simple relation between the charts, as well as the complex meanings of the keywords and the numbers they represent.

The lower the number of the Life Path, the less complex and more direct is the lesson to be assimilated. Life Paths 1 through 6 deal with fundamental concepts. Life Paths 7, 8, and 9 are dealing with more advanced understandings; in a sense, a higher level of some of the lower numbered lessons. And 11 and 22 are concerned with most complex manifestations. The higher the number of the Life Path, the greater the ultimate potential and the more difficult the possibility of reaching that potential.

Each soul determines its own Life Path before coming to earth in a physical manifestation. The lessons are not learned in consecutive order. Each lesson must usually be studied over a period of many, many lifetimes.
