Mystical 777

All mystical students know that the number 7 is the highest and purest form or position mathematically that may be attained through the uplifting of the spiritual consciousness. The number 3, 5, and 7 have always been significant in esoteric matters including Freemasonry, as well as Rosicrucianism. In the Martinist Order the 7's are highly significant and in many other divisions of esoteric schools the mathematical and vibratory value of 7 indicates the purest form of consciousness, life, love, and divinity. Three is the common symbol of the Trinity wherein all things are united while 7 represents the triangle upon the square, the 3 above the 4, but united in a manner to place the trinity of 3 above all of the material things represented by the cube or square. Three times 7 gives a total of 21, and if the digits of 21 are added together we secure 3 which is the number of divinity and of perfection. Therefore, the sacred symbol of the Cathedral is 7-7-7 upon the white triangle of pure spirituality.
 
The emblem of the triangle with 7 at each corner will be found on nearly all of the sacred, spiritual manuscripts of the mystics of the Orient and in many of the secret, private, esoteric schools of Europe. Dr. Papus, the one-time Supreme Grand Master of the Martinist Order, and perhaps the greatest living representative of the high spiritual doctrines of St. Martin, always used the white triangle with 7-7-7 impressed upon it as his spiritual emblem before his altar when reaching out to the Cosmic to contact the consciousness and souls of the Martinists in all lands. This eminent mystic whose very name is reverenced throughout the esoteric world made the symbol of the triangle and 7-7-7 more highly respected and reverenced than any other mystic of the past. In the archives of the esoteric schools preserved at Cologne and in similar archives in London, Paris, and Lyon, there are old vellum books bound with sheepskin and rapidly becoming yellow and faded, but on their covers is impressed the white triangle with the 7 on each point. Everyone familiar with esoteric principles knows that any book bound under and ensconsed by this sacred emblem and three sacred numbers is one of the Holy of Holies in the secret literature of all esoteric schools.
 
But like many other sacred emblems that immediately command respect and reverence among mystics, the symbol of the white triangle and the three numbers 7-7-7 have been misused at times in the past. Those who have wanted to appropriate some of the most idealistic emblems in order to use them to cover over any acts or thoughts that were questionable, found it convenient at different times to label their activities and reports, their books or their manuscripts with the symbol of the triangle and 7-7-7. But such deception could have its effect only on the general public, the unlearned, or those unfamiliar with mystical symbolism. Whenever a real student of mysticism found a book or manuscript bearing this esoteric symbol and group of numbers and found also that the book dealt with materialistic matters exclusively and not with Cosmic or spiritual principles, he knew that he had before him not only a book of errors but a deliberately conceived and planned piece of deception. The numbers 7-7-7 were first used on some of the rare manuscripts found in the tomb of Christian Rosenkreuz among the books known as Liber T and Liber M. But long before his time the number 7 used three times or occasionally six times was recognized as a symbol that would lead to peace, spiritual attunement, Cosmic blessings and benedictions. For this reason the numbers 7-7-7 were used in conjunction with our Cathedral of the Soul. We call the little book that describes the great Cosmic assembly Liber 777.
