– How do you manage to create such magnificent statues?

– I take a block of marble and chisel away the superfluous material.

I saw the angel in a piece of marble and carved until I set him free.

(Michelangelo Buonarotti)

"Sevens", according to the Kabbalah, represent harmony, harmonization, a geometrically "correct" form, cutting off or eliminating everything superfluous or excessive.

Thus, the Seven of Disks is harmony, harmonization, a geometrically "correct" form, cutting off or eliminating everything superfluous or excessive in Matter or Finance.

For example, it may symbolize a tea strainer or some form of economy.

Decorating one's aquarium in "Titanic" style is the latest rage among "new Russians". So, these three guys get together and start bragging, who's got the coolest aquarium. The first one takes everyone to his place and shows them a huge wall-sized aquarium, with all sorts of strange fish, and rusty spoons, cups and other junk lying on the bottom.

– I bought this at an auction in London. All this stuff was taken straight from the Titanic!

And the second guy says:

– That's nothing! Let's go to my place!

He's got this giant glass bowl, nearly the size of his house, with all sorts of fish swimming inside, and wreckage of the Titanic sticking out of the mud at the bottom.

– This is an exact copy, I ordered it from James Cameron!

And the third guy says:

– Dudes, don't make me laugh. All this is crap. Let's go to my place and take a look at what I bought!

They go to his mansion and are blown away by the following display: there's a pool, no fish but with floating icebergs, and Leonardo DiCaprio frozen at the bottom…

"Eights", according to the Kabbalah, are form + form.

In other words, a conglomerate of forms – a composite form.

An artificial conglomerate of forms is called a formation. A formation usually consists of geometrically "correct" forms.

From the limited point of view of a mortal human being, artificial formations are usually perceived as something stable, solid, and unchanging. But this, in fact, is not the case, it's just that human perception doesn't notice the changes, or regards them as insignificant.

Thus, the Eight of Disks is a kind of stability and resilience, a formation or mechanism, in Matter or Finance.

For example, it may symbolize a house or a Swiss bank.

Perfection is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Antoine De Saint-Exupery.

.

"Nines", according to the Kabbalah, are the last, final step before the Ten (transformation, transition to a new level). This moment determines the meaning of the "Nine".

"Nines" are completeness, perfection, mastery, a certain ideal (for your level or class).

Accordingly, the Nine of Disks is completeness, perfection in Material or Financial matters.
