The number seven is the mystic for excellence. :yes: He has a number of privileges, not only among Occultists as in all religions and sects, the most primitive to more modern.
Not enough to be the number of Creation - 3 (the sky) + 4 (the land) = 7, is also the number that indicates the strong relationship between the divine and human. This is more or less implicit in the star of Solomon, where two triangles cross: one ascending and one descending. The six points plus the central point, add the mystic seven, symbolizing the union of heaven and earth, of good and evil, the divine and human.
All sacred books are full of examples of excellence in the number seven. In the Bible there are hundreds more examples of force and power of the number seven.
In the book of Genesis, for example, we find the seven as the number of Creation. On the first day God created the light, separating it from darkness, the second day God created the sky, separating the waters from above low water, in the third, created the land, separating it from the water, and spread it the vegetation, in the room, he created the sun, the moon and the stars, created on the fifth day fish, sea monsters and birds, in the sixth, he created the animals, reptiles and man, and on the seventh day He rested .
"Thus were finished the heavens and the earth and all its ornaments. And on the seventh day God finished the work he had done, and rested the seventh day from all the work he had done. And blessed the seventh day and sanctified, because it had ceased all of his work, which had created and done. " Genesis, 2, 1-3.
Thus, since the creation of the world, one time was printed the universal rhythm when God decided that the week had seven days and not five or ten. As Ray Bradbury said, "The seven days are entered into our blood in letters of fire." At the same time, God gave the seventh day to rest. The seventh day is holy.
Seven natural sciences, are the seven virtues, are seven deadly sins, as are seven sacraments, the musical notes, the geniuses Persians, the Judeo-Christian archangels.
In Christianity we find the seven on the basis of its main prayer. The priest's prayer begins with an invocation and ends with a dedication. Between the beginning and the end we find seven petitions:
1 - hallowed be Thy name;
2 - Come to us to your kingdom;
3 - your will be done, on earth as well in heaven;
4 - The day our daily bread give us today;
5 - Forgive our debts and forgive our debtors;
6 - lead us not into temptation;
7 - deliver us from evil.
As we see, the seven petitions in the paternoster the first three are addressed to God and to man the following four. This refers us to another mystery surrounding the number seven as a number of Creation. The seven is the addition of 3 (divine) and 4 (physical and human).
Previously, in the book of Genesis, that God turned, creating the world, the first three days devoted to the creation of "camps" where the creatures act on four days rest.
This division is valid and can be observed in most examples where seven serve basis. In the seven virtues, three are supernatural (faith, hope, charity) and four are Cardinals (prudence, justice, fortitude and temperance). The seven deadly sins are divided into three belonging to the spirit (pride, anger, envy) and four belonging to the body (lust, gluttony, greed and sloth). Of the seven sacraments of the Catholic church, three relate to spiritual life (baptism, confirmation, Eucharist) and the remaining four relate to the mundane life (penance, order, marriage, extreme unction). Therefore, to understand fully the significance of the number seven, we have to look past the numbers 3 and 4, ie the ternary and quaternary.

The seven is the number of creation. The seven, is taken as the number of creation. Why is the number of creation? The creation was presented as having essentially the vibration issue. Came from nothing when the started to vibrate. Things only become manifest created by vibration. Where there is vibration "world" of anything. As the universe is manifest, all that it does exist by vibration. The main difference between the created universe and nothing is the discontinuity, and is just the vibration that determines the discontinuity.
Because the number of creation, the seven is the number that appears with a higher incidence in all occurrences of the universe, all in the creation of some form is attached. Why is seven the number of creation? Because the vibrations are distributed exactly in more situations. The number that appears in more citations of all mystical works in magic, the occult in general, in the Bible and in all sacred books.
The reason of the importance of seven is because the vibrations are distributed in octaves. Take the example of the musical scale. 7 are also notes of which opened another octave, and so on. This is a property of the vibrations and consequently the vibration that connects the number seven, but this is not enough, there is an even greater mystery: why the vibrations are presented in octaves?
Without vibration there would be the universe as we know, we can say that the number seven is essential to the universe. Without the number five there would be the biological side of nature, but this could exist regardless of whether or not this side. Without the development there would be six, but the universe could exist without the improvement. The guide says eight, but even so the world could exist in it. Without the four physical things could not exist, but he will still continue to exist in the universe energy levels. But without the seven there anything it would be impossible the existence of everything that is created, the universe as a whole does not exist, so the seven is taken as the number of creation. The establishment is, in general, the explicit expressions in the symbolism of seven.
In the first phase of the unfolding of creation is formed the ONE - TWO - THREE (in fact only himself in a triple point). In the second phase SEVEN. As the first three numbers are one, the number two of the apparently natural sequence should be the four. But as you can see to create the first of the seven is four, so the second place it belongs.
The four represents the physical structure and it can not precede. Could there be a realization of what is represented by four before there was a vibration, the seven? No, of course. Something can not be structured without first having been established, so the seven preceding stage four. First there was need to vibrate and then create what is already there by the vibration structure. Thus the first three numbers is one of the seven is two. After structured, then there may be biological, the liquid is three, then the improvement, the four, then six and finally guide the human life to nine.
Through a physical experience can be seen as the seven immediately following the three (one). Take a ray of light symbolizing the one who enters a prism (solid three sides, so the three. The one (river) to exceed the three (light) is projected as seven. The radius is decomposed in seven colors). The radius of the prism does not emerge as four, but as seven. By analogy with the solar spectrum, the seven is considered a manifestation of an immediate through three.
The seven "emanations" light is described by tradition as seven rays of creation (separation) and the union. Based on three basic colors you can reconstruct the whole spectrum, ie the seven colors of the rainbow. This is the ratio of the source - the divine or the Sun - with its demonstration. The number seven is very powerful! :yes:
Wow, I wrote a lot. :bugeyed Sorry.
