"Seven One"

Seven, one. Regarding the mystery and magic associated with the Number Seven; the more than frequent historic references to, and reverences for this number are staggering.

Seven one

Examples: In India, Agni, the god of fire, seven are thy fuels, thy tongues, thy holy sages, thy favorite haunts. In seven ways thy worshippers adore thee, seven are thy sources.

Pythagorean doctrine in reference to God, the author and governor of all things, states that "He is without variation, ever like Himself and like no other, even as the number seven."

In the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, seven is mentioned more than one hundred and eighty times

There are also many references to seven in the writings of William Shakespeare:
"All the world's a stage
And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances
And one man in his time plays many parts
His acts being seven ages."

First an Infant
Now a school-boy
Now a lover
Now a soldier
Now to justice
Now to old age
Second childhood

Quite often it has been speculated that the obsession with the number seven that spans millennia could be traced back to the night travellers, the shepherds, those compelled to look up and wonder at the six celestial bodies moving through the night sky only to be chased away by the seventh. The one, the sun.

First an Infant
Now a school-boy
Now a lover
Now a soldier
Now to justice
Now to old age
Second childhood

Seven one
Seven one
Seven one
Seven one
Seven one
Seven one
Seven one
Seven one

We put forth the following theory. Using the Square and Compasses anyone with the most fundamental understanding of Geometry can unintentionally, or even accidentally, create polygons with sides of 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and so on. But to make a 7 pointed polygon one must consciously and deliberately measure. One must be aware of the goal and calculate to achieve it. This in our opinion is what separates us from and gives us dominion over all of the beasts of this world.
