Paul McCartney once said that, during one of the first major times he smoked marijuana, he came to a conclusion that seemed important: “there are seven levels”. Kabbalah says there are ten levels of reality. Then what the hell was McCartney talking about.

There are Seven Sisters in the Pleiades. Seven chakras. Seven levels of consciousness. Seven types of catastrophes. Seven colors of the rainbow. Seven cervical vertebrae in mammals. Seven spots on a seven-spot ladybird (surely his runner-up bird for the White Album song). Seven stellar objects in our solar system you can see unaided. Seven stars in the Big Dipper and Orion (not irrelevant to the Pleiades!) constellations. Seven hills of Rome (not irrelevant to the Pleiades!). Seven hills of Constantinople (probably ditto). Seven liberal arts. Seven wonders of the ancient world. Seven days of Creation.

There’s tons more, go amuse yourself endlessly with your open-souce encyclopedia. Is the entry for 10 any more captivating?

And give yourself a hard time.
