PHILOSOPHICAL ARGUMENT.


disclaims the supernatural. Yet it be-
lieves in sevens The first claim is
that every thing in nature runs in
sevens. Six circles of equal diameter
will exactly surround a seventh of the
same dimension, and a perfect circle
can be drawn around the seven thus
clustered together. Six more could be
drawn around this and form. still
la ger circle. This could be kept on
indefinitely, but the relationship of
one circle to the other would always
remain the same and seven would al
ways remain the important factor.
The mysteries of the simple triangle
and square are also regarded as ex-
ceedingly great. The three sides of
with produced, plus the four sides of
the lower square, complete a septen-
airy. Again, the first equilateral fig
ure in lineal geometry is the triangle,
and the first equilateral figure in solid
geometry is the pyramid or four-sided
triangle. Together they make seven.
This illustration is of the greatest
significance to theosophy, and for this
reason. Theosophy, being spiritual
philosophy, teaches that matter is
nothing but the expression of spirit,
pnd that spirit therefore is the real
matter. When you look at a man you
don't see the real man, you see only
the flesh which is held together by the
inner, divine, spiritual man-that which
is eternal. The pyramidic triangle is
accepted by theosophy as representing
the real foundation or spirit, and the
lineal triangle as matter, merely the
outward form. The triangle rep
resents the seven principles of man.
Buddhism, which is many thousand
years older than Christianity, has al
ways accepted the cross as slgnifying
life. Man with his arms outstretched
is the shape of cross. Take n cubic
square, open it up and it makes a per-
feet cross, consisting of seven blocks,
as shown in the accompanying figure.
So that in a measure it embodies the
theory OF the seven principles of man.
The foregoing are geometrical and
psychological assertions. But in every
day life, theosophy points out, every
thing seems to be based on sevens.
There are seven days in the week,
seven primary colors as manifested in
the rainbow, seven notes in the musical
scale, and six directions OF space and a
center, making seven in all. These
are east, west, north, south,
zenith, nadir, and the center,
they surround. There are seven-day
periods in all phases of CESSATION,
stages of fever and diseases. There are

Disciples Of the late Nine. Blavatsky
believe the seven stars of the Great
Bear furnish the visible origin for the
sevens of time-the Goddess of the
Sev-es Stars. The seven stars as they
turned round annually kept pointing,
as it were. with the forefnger of the
right hand and describing n circle m
the upper and lower heaven. In this
way, then, the number suggested a
measure by seven, which led TO the
marking out of the circle in seven cor
responding divisions assigned to the
seven great consultations Thus was
formed the seven centers of Egyptian
astronomy. When the division OF the
heavens into four quarters was made
it was multiplied by four, and the
twenty-eight signs took the place of
the primary seven consultations, the
lunar zodiac of twenty-eight days be-
ing the registered result. Thm'
the septenary is claimed as
older than and predecessor of
the fourfold division. In the
Chinese arrangement the four sevens
are given to four genii, who preside
over the four cardinal points. The
seven northern consultations make up
the Black Warrior. Number seven, or
the heptagon. Pythagoreans considered
to be religious and perfect number.
The septenary was sacred to some OF
the most prominent gods and godesses,
and how, asks theosophy, are you
going to account for that if sevens are
mere condolences? Mars had his
seven attendants to Osiris, whose
body was divided into seven and
twice seven parts. Himalayan occult
ism with its sevens is regarded as the
most ancient, in fact the original of
all. just as theosophy gives credit to
the Hindu for the cross, so does it also
deny that the Jewish Bible made seven
famous.
To prove that no nation has partic-
ular claim on seven, just look at the
