As far as I can tell, this is the 700th post on The Oracle forum.
I'm interested to know what significance 700, or reduced to just 7, has, according to eht-namuh.
I've seen the number 7 related to luck in some cultures.

Re: 700
Welcome back Plaant it's been a wee while since we last communicated and 'the 700th post on The Oracle Forum' is a remarkable milestone, thank you for pointing that out. I'll wager the whole affair is a tad busier than when you last posted, through your good groundwork, among many others, we now have a vibrant debating chamber helping human kind forward.
Ah yes..... to the significance of sevens, I am going to borrow some material from much earlier Redbeck posts in this instance to evidence the importance of the number 7, although 700 is also a significant numeric often associated with conflict.
At Thermopolylae, beside the 300 Spartans holding the narrow pass against 150,000 Persians, there were 700 Thespians. 700 English cavalry died fighting the Scots at the Battle of Bannockburn, 700 Commanche warriors attacked the Adobe Walls settlement in Texas for the second time in 1874 and were held off by 29 defenders, along with the Battle of Bougainville for Hill-700 on the Solomon Island of Bougainville in WWII.
A couple of years ago a post appeared on the sevens syndrome entitled 'Sata celestials, heptad of the Saptarshi'
as follows:
As they are commonly referred to as the ‘The Saptarishi’ or alternatively ‘The Saptarshi’ and in that form, both references resolve down to the power number 9.
Both are derived from saptarsi, a Sanskrit ‘dvigu’ meaning "seven sages" and regarded as the patriarchs of the Vedic religion. Dvigu’ at the top end of the alphanumeric value scale, using the system above, actually transposes into a base value of 9. Meanwhile, Vedic adroitly aligns itself with the erstwhile seven sages.

In different post-Vedic texts a selection of these seven rishis were acknowledged as the 'mind born sons' (original Sanskrit: manasa putra) of Brahma, who is decisively the representation of the “Supreme Being as Creator”. Thus Brahma is undoubtedly the capo dei capi of the magnificent seven and rightly devolves once again into a perfect numeric match

As an astronomical aside, nothing pricey I hasten to add, there is also an asterism of seven stars named after Saptarshi also called the Big Dipper, however, more commonly known to mere lay stargazers as the Plough, which as a word obviously influenced by some mysterious higher force also happens to translate from alpha to numeric 7!

Remarkably the phrase seven stars itself, also creates a 7 at its lowest resolution.

In Hindu astronomy, you find the same group of seven stars collectively entitled Saptarshi Mandal and in this greater creative cosmic cauldron in which we find ourselves adrift, this as a word couplet intuitively extrapolates to a 3, exactly the same as its root Saptarshi. One could say in the numbering scheme of things, that Saptarshi is the point of balance for the number seven, but the astral heavens are as ever calling the shots for as presented a little earlier in this journey, add the definite article applied in true common usage, then ‘The Saptarshi’ in deference to its hierarchical status in the celestial debating chamber, becomes the dominant 9.
The present period of transition in terms of a new body of Sapta Rishis happens to be the 7th occurrence known as the Seventh Manvantara (the word seventh too equates to a 7!). Nonetheless, among the current named generations of Rishis, uncharacteristically there are but two that convert to the base value of 7, which are Angirasa and Pulastya, although the remaining names could well fall out of synch due to the relatively adhoc process of translation to the Latin alphabet and ultimately the English language, often a phonetic process.
Manvantara is a period of astronomical time within an aeon or Kalpa, Rishis and their sons, at the risk of sexist accusation, are born anew in each new Manvantara. The Seventh Manvantara is also described as “the interval of Vaivasvata Manu”, which while we who live and breath the Gregorian Calendar are in 2012, currently resides in the Hindu year of 5103, which talking of sevens is a rarity as a whole number, in that it is exactly divisible by 7 resulting in 729.
And as a grand finale, that most applicable of words 'hebdomad' rising like a phoenix from the ashes of obsolescence, signifies a group of seven [entities] or indeed the seven days of the week, that most of us follow, and finds its origins among a cunning group of Greeks, try saying that the morning after a wild symposium. Yes indeedy, that too adds up to 7.

Hopefully, you have been enchanted my fine beauties and wish to ponder further on this topic, take notes, have a sandwich then ponder and take notes, perhaps top it all off with a chocolate eclair. Just testing! Fall into any of these categories then this link is the lotus flower for you.
