LIFE PATH 7 IN TIBETAN KARMIC NUMEROLOGY

If the journey is an inner journey of initiation, a spiritual quest, a pilgrimage, Kathmandu or Santiago de Compostela, can we still speak of a road or a life path?

In any case, the goal is the inner truth to which the meditator, the intraverted thinker, the inspired, sometimes the enlightened, aspire.

This path is trodden by philosophers, seekers of the Philosopher's Stone, mystics, hierophants, Companions of Eleusis, Essenia or disciples of Plato's Academy, teachers and Doctors of the Faith, Professors in the noblest sense of the word, all those who are driven by the love of the truth and its transmission

Detached from material aspects and turned towards spirituality and inner wealth, some 7s can live in great deprivation without being affected.

The symbol of the 7 is the sacred pyramid with a square base and four triangular sides, which meet at the final point.

A square base symbolising the four elements of created matter, Earth, Water, Air, Fire, on which the hard worker (the 4) applies himself day after day without feeling the slightest fatigue or weariness.

A square base on which are positioned four isosceles triangles symbolising the Divine, the 3, the inspired creation.

The pyramid is an alchemical symbol because it unites matter (4) in movement where harmony is in permanent danger of becoming chaos, matter sublimated by the Divine (3) which freezes in the immobility of perfection concentrated in its highest point, the pyramidion.

The 7 is an alchemist who, through thought, reflection and meditation, unites the material and the immaterial in an eternal present, and who reveals to the human being his divine nature.

The symbol of the pyramid is synonymous with evolution, or rather ascension, the movement is from the bottom to the top, because at each degree of the pyramid the square base, the matter, the presence in the incarnation, is reduced to leave more and more space for the Light.

Gradually the lead turns to gold, the Adept becomes an awakened being in his own right.

A Buddha.

Auguste Rodin, an inspired sculptor, said that a cathedral is two hands joining in prayer, and this is the symbolism of the Gothic vault that lifts the person who crosses it. And the pyramid is also a cathedral.

The number 7 carries within it the vibrations of the pyramid, the cathedral, both tools created by the Divine Human to help all humans ascend from the world of incarnation, Samsara with all its suffering, to the Celestial Kingdom free of all suffering.

The 7 is most often endowed with great capacity for reflection, introspection, rigour, and a great love of the truth. If it is marked by faith and mysticism, its undeniable intelligence delights in spiritual speculation.

The 7 will find it very difficult to find harmony in their relationship, so much so that their natural inclinations push them to be demanding and solitary. Many will not manage to build a solid union, to found a family, to integrate into a harmonious relationship circle.

To have a harmonious family and social life is a difficult goal for those who hover in the high spheres of spirituality, for those whose reserve borders on coldness and contempt.

In everyday life, we find the subjects in 7 in a wide range of personalities, great solitary thinkers, hermit philosophers, humble country priests, solitary alchemists, alcoholic tramps, "hippies" walking barefoot on the stony paths of Nepal, aimless travellers carrying in their backpacks all their poor belongings, sometimes "perched" holders of an imaginary and zany truth, it is difficult for all these characters to find a companion to share their dreams, whether they are fanciful chimeras or profound spiritual truths.

Intelligence, tolerance, active spirituality, perseverance, introspection, inspiration, illumination illuminate the path of life in 7 a Light that is not of this world.

Pride, pretentiousness, lack of anchorage, "desocialisation", contempt and self-importance are the sad manifestations of a 7 who has tipped over into excess. Like the 6, the 7 can fall into fundamentalism with all the excesses that this implies.

In the absence of this, the 7 can deviate dramatically into the dark arcane of black magic, and devote its undeniable abilities to unavowable research that takes us back to the sinister stories of a Gilles de Rais or the poisoner Catherine Deshayes, known as La Voisin.
