Why Is The Number 7 Lucky?
There are numerous explanations, but the one your teacher probably wants you to find is that Pythagoras (of the famous Pythagorean Theorem) considered it a perfect number. He had a very detailed explanation of the universe concerning cosmology and numbers. “Pythagoras taught that seven was composed of the numbers three and four, explaining that “on the plane of the noumenal world, the triangle was, as the first conception of the manifested Deity, its image: ‘Father-Mother-Son’; and the Quaternary, the perfect number, was the noumenal, ideal root of all numbers and things on the physical plane” (ibid.). Further, seven was called by the Pythogoreans the vehicle of life for it consisted of body and spirit: the body was held to consist of four principal elements, while the spirit was in manifestation triple, comprising the monad, intellect or essential reason, and mind.” It’s complicated stuff! I’d be asking your teacher to explain more just to see how much he/she really knows!
