Here’s an extension of my seven days/seven heads theology:
consider this: just as there are 7 days in a week and when you get to the eighth day, you are consummate with the first, so then music, which is part of Divine Revelation, has the same nature: given any key, there are only 7 notes that are in accord with the key, and when you start from any one of those notes and go 8 steps, in the 8th step, you will return to the note you started with. And of the seven possible scales for each of these seven notes, only TWO of them will have a sense of resolution at the eighth step, that is, to have a sense of finality and completeness. And those two are the simplest notes: the one being the primary MAJOR note, the other being the primary MINOR note. and the scale of the MAJOR note shall be a HAPPY scale, and the scale of the MINOR note shall be SAD scale, even as MAJOR and MINOR chords respectively relate to the primary poles of human emotion and experience, the one being JOY and the other being SADNESS and tragedy. And for these we again have to compare two primary essences in theology: when it is all said and done, there are two pole: SIN and GRACE, HELL and HEAVEN, TRAGEDY and VICTORY, the FALL and the REDEMPTION.
Why not then say that the seven days of creation that are extended to eight is a symbol of the eight primary REDEMPTIVE Actions of God in Salvation History that ascend like a musical scale of JOY, and that the seven heads of the beast which are extended to eight, are symbol of the eight stages of the fallen nature, a progressive decline into ultimate depravity.
I don’t know, I’ve been thinkin’ 'bout this stuff a long time and seems more and more likely and certain as time goes by! http://forums.catholic-convert.com/images/smiles/icon_smile1.gif
