7 Pillars of the House of Wisdom

The number 7 is a mystical number that we find in different mathematical and spiritual systems and traditions. The number 7 reminds of the 7 mortal sins, the 7 virtues, the 7 sacraments, the 7 sorrows of Mary, the 7 chakras, the 7 pillars of wisdom, the 7 colours of the rainbow, the 7 alchemical metals, etc.

The number 7 represents the Hieros Gamos, the sacred marriage between the material and the spiritual, the physical and the transcendental. In Babylonian temples the highest level of the Ziggurat (the temple) would only be accessible to high priests and priestesses for it was the gateway to the divine. This seventh level was the bridal chamber where the initiate (the bridegroom) would pledge allegiance to the divine mother to receive the light and fire of her holy spirit or Shekinah (the bride). Saint Teresa of Avila talks about the same process in her allegory of the interior castle – there are 7 rooms in this castle, reflecting the seven inner levels of ascension or seven chakras. Each one comes with its challenges, stripping away the ego and preparing us to enter the seventh mansion where we enter into a mystical union with God.

How do we apply the wisdom of the 7 to support our journey of growth and expansion? Join me in this talk and workshop to understand the wisdom teachings reflecting the mysteries of the number 7 to understand its symbolical meaning and start to see the patterns in which it shows up in your life. There is an innate wisdom in the 7-fold cycle that we can use to our benefit and that become a real structure for growth.

I will dive into multiple mystery traditions to unravel the secrets of the 7, I will share one of the chapters of my book and we will be doing a meditation and some exercices to fully sample the alchemy of the number 7.
