THE
SYMBOLISM OF THE NUMBERS – III
S E V E N
The number seven is the most
sacred of all, it gathers in itself the Ternary (Divine) and the Quaternary
(Terrestrial). The seven is represented graphically for a triangle placed on top of a
square (or a cross). It symbolizes the domain (or the harmony between both) of the Ternary
(spirit, divine world) on the Quaternary (physical body, terrestrial world). We learn previously that God (the Unit) manifest himself in Three Persons
or Aspects (the Trinity). However the Unit still it unfolds in 7 Aspects. God (Center of the Solar System) possesses 7 ministers that are cited
in the Bible as “the Seven Spirits before the Throne”. The influences of these Messengers of God are called of Rays, and they
produce the different types of human temperament. The Solar Light, the White Light when passing through a triangular
prism (Trinity) it produces seven colors (energies) of the rainbow: red,
orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet. The three primaries colors (red-yellow-blue) produce all the other
colors. So, the cosmic energy that manifest itself as color, gives us a more
comprehensive demonstration of this part of the Esoteric Cosmology. The 7 Angels in front of the throne of God are: Gabriel (Moon), Samuel
(Mars), Rafael (Mercury), Sachiel
(Jupiter), Anael (Venus), Cassiel (Saturn), and Michael
(Sun). The old only considered 7 planets, but the distant planets recently
discovered have little influence in the Earth. The Moon is considered between the planets because it possesses considerable influence on life in the
Earth. THE SEVEN RAYS RAYS -
MASTER - VOCATIONS POWER-WIL – Master Morya - statesman,
military, leader. LOVE-WISDOM – Master Kuthumi – medical, teacher, wise. INTELLIGENT ACTIVITY – Master Venetian –
philosopher, diplomat. HARMONY-BEAUTY – Master Serapis – artist. SCIENCE-CONCRETE KNOWLEDGE – Master Hilarion – scientist,
mathematical. DEVOTION-IDEALISM – Master Jesus – devout, mystic, saint. CEREMONIAL-MAGIC – Master Saint Germain – priest, master of ceremony,
ritualistic. Each Ray possesses a Master of the Great White Fraternity, besides a
planetary angel. The 7 days of week were classified by the old according to the 7
cosmic vibrations coming from 7 planets. Monday (Moon), Tuesday (Mars), Wednesday (Mercury),
Thursday (Jupiter), Friday (Venus), Saturday (Saturn)
and Sunday (Sun). In some languages the days of week are denominated as day of the Sun,
day of the Moon, etc. Or with the name of old gods
related with the qualities of these planets. The Egyptian considered too much the 7, and the mysterious pyramid of
Keops (as all the others) has as base the square (4), but your profile is
triangular (3). The 7 was already known as a number sacred much before the Greek and Jewish peoples; in Sumerian, 2.500
b.C., there was a temple with 7 porches and 7 doors, and in its inauguration
were sacrificed seven times seven animals. The human life is a succession of cycles of 7 years. Until the 7 years - First cycle: the spirit learns to control the body (to
speak, to walk) and to know the environment 7 - 14 years – Period of the puberty with the development of the
reproduction organs, and the appearance of the secondary sexual characters
that differentiate both sexes. 14 – 21 years – It feels attraction by the opposite sex 21 – 27 years – It develops the wish to accomplish something in
the world; ambition and work. 27 – 35 years – Finishes the physical development and occurs a
great mental impulse. 35 – 42 years – It reaches the maximum of their faculties. 42 – 49 – Feels that the physical forces start to weaken itself. 49 – 56 – It feels disillusioned with the material life and starts to think
more in the spiritual world. 56 – 63 – Physical decadence. 63 – 70 – Mental decadence. 70 – 77 – Possible end of the physical life and the beginning of the life in the
spiritual world. “The days of our life reach 70 years and, if some, by his robustness,
they arrived to 80, their pride early if cuts (Psalm of David, 9-10). In the animals in Nature multiplying
itself your growth period for 7 it arrives to your average period of life. The man should live 140 years, but the genetics degeneration and the
wrong way of life, impedes that this Natural Law accomplishes The cells of the body renovate itself completely every 7 years. This is an opportunity for the ones that
decided follow the laws of the Naturism
(healthy alimentation, physical exercises, profound breathing,
muscular relaxation, good
emotions/thoughts). Therefore, we have a body entirely new every 7 years In the Bible the 7 is number more cited. God created the Universe in 6
days and rested in the seventh: In the 1the Day – He said “Done itself
the Light”. And it separated the light of the darkness. In the 2the Day – created the Sky. In the 3the Day – the Earth and the vegetables. In the 4the Day – the Sun, the Moon and
the stars. In the 5the Day – the fishes, marine
animals and the birds. In the 6the Day ( or Geological Era) – the animals that walk
on the Earth and the man. In the 7the Day – He rested. God name has 7 letters: J
E H O V A H. “You will work 6 days, but the 7the day will be to you a
holy thing; it is Sabbath, the day of the rest consecrate to the Lord
(Ex.35,2). Moses ordered that the land was sown for 6 years and rested in the
seventh year. Jesus said that the man should forgive 70 times 7. The prayer Father Ours of Jesus contains 7 requests: Our father that are in the
sky 1 – Sanctified be Your Name, 2 – Comes to us Your kingdom, 3 – Be made Your wish, so in the Earth as in the Sky 4 – The bread ours of every day us give today, 5 – Forgive our debts as well as we forgive to our debtors. 6 – Do not fall into temptation, 7 –To rid us of the evil. The 3 first sentences go
to God and the others 4 to the man. It is a perfect prayer: 3 (the Divinity, the Sky), 4 (the Man, the Earth). Buda meditated below of a tree 49 days (7 x 7 ). When abandoning the riches and the palace in which he lived, Buda was
to the desert, and for 7 years meditated (from 29 to 36 years). The Koran of Mohammed reveals the existence of 7 skies: “It created God, for you, everything that there is about the
Earth. It came back, to follow, for
the sky, and it divided the sky into seven skies. His conscience includes all the things”(II Surata, verse 27). “It was Him (Allah) which created the seven skies placed, in order and
harmony, some on the others”. “Nothing will see of discordant in the work of Merciful God” (LXII,
3). “Above you we built seven solid skies” (LXXV III, 12). Theosophy also teaches that there is 7 plans or worlds of the
Universe: Physical (and Ethereal) Astral (Emotional) Mental (of the Thought) Budic (Intuitional) Atmic (Spiritual) Monadic Divine The chakras are connection centers between the astral body and the
physical body. They are in number of seven: Coronary (high of the head, the priests' little crown). Frontal (among eyebrows). Laryngeal ( throat). Cardiac (region of the heart). Solar (plexo solar,
navel). Splenic (below the navel). Basic (base of the spinal column). After the Deluge, it
initiated a new life under the divine direction, being the rainbow the
symbol of this New Age chosen by God: “I put my arch in the clouds and it
will become an alliance signal between Me and the Earth” (Gn.9,12). The musical notes that are the seven different sounds that allow to
execute the most wonderful music are
7: do – re – mi- fa – sol – la – si. The 7 colors of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo
and violet. The 7 orifices of the head: 2
eyes, 2 ears, 2 nostrils and 1 mouth. The 7 virtues and the 7 main vices: Altruism - ( selfishness) Activity - (laziness) Love - (hate) Charity - (envy) Humility - (pride) Frugality - (gluttony) Purity - (lust) The ziggurats, temples of the Chaldea and of the Assyrian, had 7
floors. The Tower of Babel, Hebrew name of the Babylon, also had 7 floors. The age 49 year (7 x 7) would be the ideal time of retirement, when
the man would pass of the physical and routine activities, for a life of
spiritual meditation, becoming a wiser and experienced guide for the new
generations. + + + What is the tidiness for the body, the purity is to the soul. Epithet Nobody can be wise with the empty stomach.
