Re-read this wah scribe said ZedAliz and having re-read it re-gurgitate
This the scribe did writing

                                           The Magic Mountain
                                                  Thomas Mann.  
Quote  "I tell them  that if they will occupy themselves with
the study of mathematics they will find in it the best remedy against the lusts of the flesh."

Page 10

The Zed AlizZed out of curiosity just, began to count the first seven un-numbered pages of the Magic Mountain,
counting the front cover as page one, two sides to each page. The Foreword starts on the front of page
seven, with the words  
                "The story of Hans Castorp, which we would here set forth,"



and  continues on the rear of page seven as follows
                      
                "We shall tell it at length, thoroughly, in detail - for when did
              a narrative seem too long or too short by reason of the actual time
              or space it took up? We do not fear being called meticulous,in-
              clining as we do to  the view that only the exhaustive can be truly
              interesting
                  Not all in a minute, then, will the narrator be finished with the
              story of our Hans. The seven days of a week will not suffice, no,
              nor seven months either. Best not too soon make too plain how
              much mortal time must pass over his head while he sits spun round
              in his spell. Heaven forbid it should be seven years!
                 And now we begin.!"  
  
If each side had been accounted a page number, these would have been 13, and 14.
But it aint necessarily so in other editions writ the scribe



seven days     Three sevens are twenty one said Alizzed, noting that there are twenty one days in three weeks
seven months
seven years

'Arrival'
First three lines

Page 3  "...An unassuming young man was travelling, in midsummer,from
                   his native city of Hamburg to Davos-Platz in the Canton of the
                   Grisons, on a three week visit."



Page 4       "...With as much impatience as lay
                   in his temperament to feel, he had discounted the next three weeks;"



Page 6  "...When?"
                 "... Why in three weeks"
                      "Oh yes, you are already back home in your
                    thoughts" answered Joachim. "Wait a bit. You've only just come.  
                  "Three weeks are nothing at all, to us up here - they look like a lot
                    of time to you, because you are only up here on a visit,and three
                    weeks is all you have. Get acclimatized first - it isnt so easy,
                    you'll see. And the climate isn't the only thing about us.
                    You're going to see some things you've never dreamed of - just /
Page 7      /  wait. About me - it isn't such smooth sailing as you think, you
                    with your'going home in three weeks.'that's the class of ideas
                    you have down below..."
                 "...Oh time - !" said Joachim, and nodded repeatedly, straight
                    in front of him, paying his cousin's honest indignation no heed.
                    "They make pretty free with a human being's idea of time, up
                    here.You woudnt believe it. Three weeks are just like a day to
                    them.You'll learn all about it," he said and added: "One's ideas
                    get changed."

Page Nine        End of Chapter1 writ the scribe

Then  ZedAlizZed a spot o' magic did The scribe writ tops

Three weeks. These words by time constrained, occur 7 times in Chapter 1 within 4 pages

Page 3.             'three weeks' x 1                                       3  x  7  x  1 =  2 1            2 +  1 =  3
Page 4.             'three weeks' x 1                                       3  x  7  x  1 =  2 1            2 +  1 =  3
Page 6.             'three weeks' x 3                                       3  x  7  x  3 =  6 3            6 +  3 =  9
Page 7              'three weeks' x 2                                       3  x  7  x  2 =  4 2            4 +  2 =  6
        20                                     7                                                      7    147           14 + 7 = 21

Zed Aliz Zed said there are 5 letters in three and 5 in weeks 10 in all!
Now scribe just for't laugh times that ten by the seven that occur in Chapter One .entitled 'Arrival'
The scribe writ there are seven letters in ' Arrival'


Reight wah scribe said Alizzed.    Three weeks iz 21 days, x 7 strikes, iz 147.  
Reight said Zed Aliz, saying
Reight agin'
Turn to page 147 of The Magic Mountain and inscribe scribe.

There are a total of 43 lines of text on this page. 4 + 3 being 7 added the scribe
The second line from the bottom of this page reads

             "Hans Castorp had not been up here three weeks."    

This page is now quoted in full.

"...other he mentally summed up various people, the thought of whom might serve him
As some sort of mental support.
    There was the good, the upright Joachim, firm as a rock - yet whose eyes in these past months had come to
hold such a tragic shadow, and who had never used to shrug his shoulders, as he did so often now. Joachim,
with the "Blue Peter" in his pocket, as Frau Stohr called the receptacle. When Hans Castorp thought of her
hard crabbed face it made him shiver.yes there was Joa-chim who - who kept constantly at Hofrat Behrens
to let him get away and go down to the longed for service in the "plain"the "flat-land," - as the healthy, normal
world was called up here, with a faint yet perceptible nuance of contempt. Joachim served the cure single-
mindedly, to the end that he might arrive sooner at his goal and save some of the time which "those up here"
so wantonly flung away; served it unquestioningly for the sake of speedy re-covery - but also, Hans Castorp
detected, for the sake of the cure itself, which, after all was a service, like another; and was not duty duty, wherever performed? Joachim invariably went upstairs after only a quarter-hour in the drawing-rooms; and this military precision of his was a prop to the civilian laxity of his cousin, who would otherwise be likely to loiter unprofitably below, with his eye on the company in the small salon. But Hans Castorp was con-vinced there was another and private reason why Joachim with-drew so early; he had known it since the time he saw his cousin's face take on the mottled pallor, and his mouth assume the pathetic twist. He perfectly understood. For Marusja was almost always there in the evening - laughter-loving Marusja, with the little ruby on her charming hand, the handkerchief with the orange scent, and the swelling bosom, tainted within - Hans Castorp com-prehended that it was her presence which drove Joachim away, precisely because it so bly, so fearfully drew him towards her. Was Joachim too "immured" -  and even worse off than him-self, in that he had five times a day to sit at the same table with Marusja and her orange-scented handkerchief? However that might be, it was clear that Joachim was preoccupied with his own troubles; the thought of him could afford his cousin no mental support. That he took refuge in daily flight was a credit to him; but that he had to flee was anything but reassuring to Hans Ca-storp, who even began to feel that Joachim's good example of faithful service of the cure and the initiation which he owed to his cousin's experience might also have there bad side.
Hans Castorp had not been up here three weeks. But it seemed longer; and the daily routine which Joachim so piously observed  



Using the seven as your yard stick scribe count the multiplication of  names containing seven letters What about the apostrophe said the scribe in an aside. We are lucking for patterns scribe, coincidental patterns we are pattern finding, be thou not side tracked.  
When-feeling this way out the Alizzed would brook no opposition

And so, that oh so far yonder scribe writ
Joachim     x     11   =   77
Castorp      x      6    =   42
Behrens      x      1    =    7
Marusja     x      3    =   21

The Tibetan Book of the Dead
Edited by W.Y. Evans-Wentz
" III. The Esoteric Significance Of the Forty-Nine Days Of The Bardo"

Page 6

" Turning now to our text itself, we find that structurally it is founded upon the symbolic number Forty-nine, the square of the sacred number Seven; for, according to occult teachings common to Northern Buddhism and to that Higher Hinduism which the Hindu-born Bodhisattva Who became the Buddha
Gautama, the Reformer of the Lower Hinduism and the codifier of the secret Lore, never repudiated,there
are seven worlds or seven degrees of Maya 2 within the sangsara, 3  con-stituted as seven globes of a
planetery chain. On each globe there are seven rounds of evolution, making the forty-nine (seven times seven)
stations of active existence. As in the

/  Page 7   /

embryonic state in the human species the foetus passes through every form of organic structure
from the amoeba to man, the highest mammal, so in the after-death state, the embryonic
state of the psychic world, the Knower or principle of con-sciousness, anterior to its re-emergence in gross matter, ana-logously experiences purely psychic conditions. In other words, in both these interdependent embryonic processes - the one physical , the other psychical - the evolutionary and the involutionary attainments, corresponding to the forty-nine stations of existence, are passed through.
      Similarly, the forty-nine days of the Bardo may also be Symbolical of the Forty and Nine Powers of the Mystery of the Seven Vowels. In Hindu mythology, whence much of the Bardo symbolism originated, these Vowels were the Mystery of the Seven Fires and their forty-nine subdivisional
fires or aspects. They are also represented by the Svastika signs upon the crowns of the seven heads of the Serpent of Eternity of the Northern Buddhist Mysteries, originating in ancient India. In Hermetic writings they are the seven zones of after-death, or Bardo , experiences, each symbolizing the eruption in the Intermediate State of a particular seven-fold element of the complex principle of consciousness, thus giving the consciousness-principle forty-nine aspects, or fires, or fields of manifestation 1.
      The number seven has long been a sacred number among Aryan and other races. Its use in the Revelation of John illustrates this, as does the conception of the seven day being regarded as holy. In Nature, the number seven governs the periodicity and phenomena of life,as, for example, in the series of chemical elements, in the physics of sound and colour, and it is upon the number forty-nine, or seven times seven, that the Bardo Thodol is thus scientifically based."  



On page 6, said Alizzed   seven  occurs   seven  times  7 x 7 which iz  49
                                  and,        
on page 7,  speaks to us  ten  times       10 x 7           10 + 7
                                                              70                 17
                                                            7 + 0             1 x 7  
                                                               7                   7
Don't look like that scribe, said ZedAliz, our path is littered with sevens. Seven iz our guide and at this particular moment in the now of our time seven iz our nine.
 
The scribe writ, as required, and then writ    forty-nine.
and then out of interest further writ                 40 x 9 iz  360



Before starting, having already started, said Zed Aliz to the accompanying shadow, si,thi,read this.

                                                        The law of the land: (1) the sabbatic year.
Verse
1    "And the Lord spake unto Mo-ses in mount Sinai, saying,
2    " Speak unto the children of Is-rael, and say unto them, When ye come into the land which I give you, then                            shall the land keep a sabbath unto the Lord."
3     "Six years thou shalt sow thy field, and six years thou shalt prune thy vineyard, and gather in the fruit thereof;"          
"But in the seventh year shall be a sabbath of rest unto the land, a sabbath for the LORD:thou shalt neither
         sow thy field, nor prune thy vineyard."
5      "That which groweth of its own accord of thy harvest thou shalt not reap, neither gather the grapes of thy vine undressed: for it is a year of rest unto the land."
"And the sabbath of the land shall be meat for you; for thee, and for thy servant, and for thy stranger that sojourneth with thee,"
"And for thy cattle, and for the beast that are in thy land, shall all the increase thereof be meat."
                                  
                                                          The law of the land: (2) the year of jubile.



8      "And thou shalt number seven sabbaths of years unto thee, seven times seven years; and the space of the seven                                     sabbaths of years shall be unto thee forty and nine years"
9      "Then shalt thou cause the trum-pet of the jubile to sound on the tenth day of the seventh month, in the day of atonement shall ye make the trumpet sound throughout all your land"
10    "And ye shall hallow the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty through-out all the land unto all the inhabitants                      
  thereof: it shall be a jubile unto you; and ye shall return every man unto his possessions, and ye shall return every man unto his family.
11    "A jubile shall that fiftieth year be unto you: ye shall not sow nei-ther reap that which groweth of it-self in it, nor gather the grapes in it of thy vine undressed
12     "For it is the jubile: it shall be holy unto you: ye shall eat the in-crease thereof out of the field."
13     " In the year of this jubile ye  

/ Page160   /  

shall return every man unto his possession ."
"And if thou sell ought unto thy neighbour, or buyest ought of thy neighbour's hand, ye shall not oppress one another:
"According to the number of years after the jubile thou shalt buy of thy neighbour, and accord-ing unto the number of fruit he shall sell unto thee:
"According to the multitude of years thou shalt increase the price thereof, and according to the few-ness of years thou shalt diminish the price of it :for according to the number of the years of the fruits doth he sell unto thee"
Ye shall not therefore oppress one another : but thou shat fear thy God : for I am the Lord your God."
18   "Wherefore ye shall do my stat-utes, and keep my judgments, and do them; and ye shall dwell in the land in safety"
19    "And the land shall yield her fruit, and ye shall eat your fill, and dwell therein in safety.
20     " And if ye shall say ,What shall we eat the seventh year? Behold, we shall not sow, nor gather in our increase:"
"Then I will command my blessing upon you in the sixth year, and it shall bring forth fruit for three years."
"And ye shall sow the eighth year, and eat yet of old fruit until the ninth year; until her fruits come in thou shalt eat of the old store.
23     "The land shall not be sold forever: for the land is mine; for ye are strangers and sodjourners with me.
24     "And in all the land of your possession ye shall grant a redemption for the land.
