"There was this one question about how JJ came to the conclusion that there are 777 lives to the first initiation, a normal follow up question after he told me if there was anything that was unclear please let him know. I did but he did not recognize the follow-up question."
JJ:
I do not recall saying that there were 777 lives to the first initiation and can find no place in The Archives where I have said it. Furthermore I have searched the Keys and cannot find the said question from you.
If you haven't asked the question ten you cannot complain that I have not answered it.
DK [Djwhal Khul] gave out the 777 in relation to lives but I believe it was meant to be a symbolic number rather than an exact one as he has specifically said there are more lives than that. I have said I believe the 777 lives represent lives of experience which is based on my intuitive judgment.
When commenting on the 777 lives you did ask several questions:
"Is life 777 generally the place of the first initiation, the birth of Christ in the Heart and then the seeking begins or is there no correlation? I think there is a correlation."
Answer:
It is possible but I would say that these lives represent lives of experience leading to the point where the person becomes an aspirant and seeks the reason for his existence. The first initiation shortly follows this.
Question:
"At what initiation does the labors of Hercules begin? That is if the labors are connected to an initiation and if they are, do the labors always begin in the same sign and then I mean the beginning and end? Like do they always begin in Aries and then the reverse takes over and that would make the next life in Pisces and then the life after that in Aquarius. Or is there no set rule?"
Answer:
I believe the labors begin after the third initiation and end with the fifth. Clockwise through the zodiac is Pisces-Aquarius-Sagittarius, etc. Counterclockwise is Aries-Taurus-Gemini. The labors always begin in Aries. Sometimes it will take more than one life to complete a labor and all lives that work to complete a labor may not take place in the sign of the labor though the first attempt usually will be.
I apologize if I have not answered all your questions. I do not always have time to answer all questions asked so I pick the ones that are clear and think would be of interest to the group.
If you really want a question answered then ask it twice. It is also helpful that the question be clear and concise. It also helps to only ask one or two questions at a time in a short post so it doesn't get lost in the verbiage.
