Zhu Bajie

Zhu Bajie has an octave of 7 weaknesses (or "Sins") in him to overcome or to WORK on to become the better human being. Although he has been a divine or cosmic being at the TI-DO Interval of the (our) Ray of Creation as a Tianpeng Yuanshuai being or Marshal Canopy being having been punished because of the same seven sins still lingering in his soul in the world of heaven, he has accepted the fact that he is now on mother Earth at this MI-FA Interval.  He is required to redeem his coarse inner psyche hydrogens by undertaking a journey alongside three other also divine-punished beings – Xuanzang  (the fourth master body), Wukung (the third driver/feeling body) and Sha Wujing and the white dragon   (the other moving/luggage carrier bodies) - to achieve the required gradation of hydrogen fineness by alchemical purification through conscious labor and intentional suffering.  Realizing objectively their existence as  humans organic beings trapped at the MI-FA Interval of this same Ray of Creation, they have decided to undertake this journey often having to overcome their occassional overextrapolation of their limited powers. .

A.   THE SEVENS AND OTHERS

1   Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi’s Seven Blunders of the World

Take note and bear in mind the great thoughts of Gandhi regarding the seven blunders of the world which focus on our contemporary ordinary three-brained beings’ mode of handling this seven inner impulse groups of being psyche hydrogens in our own body and in our sociocosmic body, namely, about wealth, pleasure, knowledge, commerce, science, worship and politics.

The Seven Blunders of the World from the Age of Aquarius where sociotechnocosmic octave is growing are:

1. Wealth without work

2. Pleasure without conscience

3. Knowledge without character

4. Commerce without morality

5. Science without humanity

6. Worship without sacrifice

7. Politics without principle

In addition, his grandson, Arun Gandhi, added:

1. Rights without responsibilities [Arun Gandhi]

2. Disagreement without discussion

3. Technology without direction

4. Connection without community

5. Teaching without joy

6. Learning without hope

2   Dante Alighieri’s Seven Deadly Sins in his epic poem The Divine Comedy:

Take note too and bear in mind the great thoughts of Dante regarding the Seven Deadly Sins of the World which focus on our contemporary ordinary three-brained beings’ mode of handling this seven inner impulse groups of being psyche hydrogens in our own body and in our sociocosmic body, namely, about lust, glutton, greed, sloth, wrath, envy and pride.

The Seven Deadly Sins of the World from the Age of Pisces where Biocosmic Octave is maturing are:

    1. Superbia (pride)

2. Avaritia (greed/avarice)

3. Luxuria (lust/lechery)

4. Invidia (envy)

5. Gula (gluttony)

6. Ira (wrath)

7. Acedia (sloth/acedia/discouragement)

Addition to this list in the Age of Aquarius:

Cruelty and dishonesty groups of hydrogens.  (Karl Menninger)

Fear and superstition groups of hydrogens.  (Andrew Culbertson)

3   Roman Catholic Church's Seven Virtues

Take note too and bear in mind the great Roman Catholic Church’s Seven Virtues of the World corresponding to the Seven Deadly Sins and which focus on our contemporary ordinary three-brained beings’ mode of creating these seven inner impulse groups of being psyche hydrogens in our own body and in our sociocosmic body, namely, about chastity, temperance, charity, diligence, patience, kindness and humility.

The Seven Virtues of the World from the Age of Pisces where Biocosmic Octave is maturing are:

1. Castitas (chastity)

2. Temperantia (temperance)

3. Caritas (charity)

4. Industria (diligence)

5. Patientia (patience)

6. Humanitas (kindness)

7. Humilitas (humility)

4   Peter Binsfeld’s Seven Demon-being-ization of the World

In 1589, Peter Binsfeld paired each of the deadly sins with a demon, who tempted people by means of the associated sin.  According to Binsfeld's classification of demons, the pairings are as follows:

1. Lucifer: Pride (superbia)

2. Mammon: Greed (avaritia)

3. Asmodeus: Lust (luxuria)

4. Leviathan: Envy (invidia)

5. Beelzebub: Gluttony (gula or gullia)

6. Satan/Amon: Wrath (ira)

7. Belphegor: Sloth (acedia)

Note that earlier version pointed Beelzebub to Envy and Belphegor to Gluttony.   The seven ‘sin’ psyche hydrogens were identified but there are still inner octaves in them.

Nothing will be comprehensive in all these thoughts if the middle–eastern and oriental philosophy and wisdom in all the same areas are not complemented to these exiting ones.

5   Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek: Seven Deadly Sins

Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek stories, Star Trek: Seven Deadly Sins, contains seven short novels, which link each deadly sin to a major Trek race, namely, the Romulans (Pride), the Ferengi (Greed), the Mirror Universe (Lust), the Cardassians (Envy), the Borg (Gluttony), Klingons (Anger), the Klingons (Anger) and the Pakleds (Sloth).  These ideas of the Age of Aquarius are repeating that which first arose from the feelings of the Age of Pisces.  They vibrate ascending in discontinuities along the fundamental sociocosmic octave from the individual (DO), to the group (RE), to the family (MI), to the organization (FA), to the state (SO), to the nation (LA) and to the World-of-Nations (TI) - sociocosmic aberrating in coercive petty frictions at DO, RE and MI levels, in local wars at FA and SO levels and in nuclear-pointing mega world wars at TI-levels and certainly eating into both the 1st and 2nd lateral sociocosmic octaves forming the body of the FA-Historical Sociocosmic Species of Capitalism.

The Seven Alien Races  are:

    1. Romulan (Pride)

2. Ferengi (Greed)

3. Mirror Universe (Lust)

4. Cardassian (Envy)

5. Borg (Gluttony)

6. Klingons (Anger)

7. Pakleds (Sloth)

6   Attempts by the Enneagram Groups

The Enneagram integration attempted by Oscar Ichazo, Claudio Naranjo, Richard Rohr, Elizabeth Wagele, Don Richard Riso and Russ Hudson who all used G.I Gurdjieff Enneagram Symbol to interpret these being-essence-and-personality-and-enlightenment group of psyche hydrogens and the integration takes place during the Age of Aquarius Thinking are summarized here:
