10/Why repeating 7? Both in Sumer, in India and Greece?
7 is the number of the wanders of the sky. Sun, Moon, Mars, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury, Saturn. As can be seen by the eye. Seen by sky watchers since Man looked up. They are the layers one's soul must pass to reach the stars and Eternity.

8/Then there is the ancient Greek story of Tiresias. A man walking through the forest sees to snakes copulating. He strikes them/separates them with is staff and is transformed to a woman. Lives 7 yrs as a woman and sees 2 snakes once again. Using the staff once more, changed back to a man.

7/Hermes is seen as the Messenger of the gods, of commerce, of mischief, and as a guider of souls.
His symbol is the Caduceus. A rod with intertwining serpents at 7 points. (6 and top of staff where wings of consciousness take flight. Like top of head with Yoga figure).

5/The Sumerian cup of King Gueda shows to bird/serpents (seraphim?) opening doors/gates to reveal 2 serpents intertwined. Once again at 7 points. This is the god Ningishzida, the king's patron and present in Early Sumer Dynastic period.

4/Later developed into Kundalini Yoga school, with imagery of a pose with 2 serpent streams of psychic energy intertwining with spinal column at 7 "Chakra" points. Each, once energized, opens the mind to spiritual possibilities. But such symbology is *not* restricted to Indian history and culture.

Esoteric 🧵-for those interested.
1/Sumer, India, and Greece
Reading the introduction by Ellade of his book, one finds, once again, a rightful emphasis on the use of those techniques in India and their development. But is that the origin of it?

Well its in. Had to get different length mounting screws. Sounds better with No quacking. But output is still less than desired and not getting position 4 at all. So there is still a wiring problem. Will have to look further.

Not a page turner but a good ancillary book. WW2 exploits of former CIA Directors who were recruited and worked for Bill Donovan, including Dulles, Helms, Colby, Casey.
