The 7-fold patterning that intuitively pleases us so very much is frequently studied by esotericists like Rudolf Steiner and Madame Blavatski. Many a student has been introduced to the concept of four elements: Earth, Air, Water and Fire and possibly their connection with the four conditions of life: Sensation, Thought, Feeling, Action. These can be easily matched with our first four words, to give us:
Sensing Earth No
Thinking Air Hello
Feeling Water Thanks
Doing Fire Goodbye
The other three words can be aligned with another well-celebrated mystery—that of threeness:
Holy Affirming Please
Holy Denying Sorry
Holy Reconciling Yes
We affirm our vision of a new future and intend it into being, perhaps consciously using prayer (Please). There’s always someone who prefers that we don’t satisfy our personal goals, thinking that their own will suffer—and so either they or we are hurt or disappointed (Sorry)—until the way is found for agreement (Yes) and both sides are happy.
Pythagoras considered 7 the perfect number, because it included both the square and the triangle, which he saw as perfect figures. A modern mystic would want to balance Sensing (Being) with Doing, and Thinking with Feeling; also she would aspire also to be aware simultaneously of the three aspects of all energy movement: ‘Love, Lover and Beloved’ for example.
