Okay, make mine seven and a half! 

Actualy, I "suspect" that, while there may be 
interpretive/arbitrary sevens out there, possibly (?)
that number might have something to do with (and of 
course this is just so much speculation, on my part!)
to do with some sort of consensus of opinion between 
HPB and the Masters and those that they may have 
looked up to . . . maybe. So if the Masters, in turn, 
looked up to even "higher" sources of info, and those 
higher sources looked up to even higher sources, etc., 
what would all that tend to imply? Or, is it that 
Gerald and Brigitte might be inclined to view such as 
Masters/HPB and some of their numbers, and 
whatever, as exoteric "versions" (in a sense, 
"exoterically" speaking, complete with "esoteric 
overtones"?) of "reality" . . . ?

Speculatively,
Mauri

PS Or maybe I got the names mixed up? Maybe only Jerry subscribes to
Theos-Talk, and maybe Gerald doesn't? Huh? I checked and couldn't
find any recent posts from Gerald on Theo-Talk, but then I subscribed to
Theos-Talk just recently myself . . .
