Seven — I’m just a stupid man 

Seven is revelation and contradiction. Seven is passion and eroticism. Seven can irritate or move. Seven has no rules, except the rule of not having any. Seven has a simple, often intimate language. It can be subject to criticism, opinions and different thoughts.

Or… you will fall in love with it.

A series of synchronicities linked to two letters and a message found in an old book take the hero to Andalusia, as he feels the need to put a distance between himself and the places and the people he knows. This is where his journey starts.

He crosses the whole of Spain on foot, with the curiosity of finding out where a series of apparently casual events will lead him, deciphering a language which goes beyond words.

Every event has a meaning, and in our everyday life there are clues that deserve being more closely observed, as though they were an aid to find the sense of connection between one event and another.

On his journey he meets Steve. Through regressive hypnosis he guides him back to the 1950s and it is thanks to this that he realizes where events are leading him, because the origin of what happens in the present has to be sought in the roots of the past.

He relives a love story which lasted one evening, where the fusion of minds and bodies goes beyond attraction and eroticism, to the point of indelibly marking the soul and wishing to find that passion left in limbo in the past, to experience it in real life. But when and how can it be recognized?

The synchronicities show him other clues. They bring him face to face with people identical to others, so that he learns the legend according to which each of us has “seven” lookalikes scattered around the world.

Thanks to a meeting with an archaeologist, the existence of manuscripts from the third century kept secret is revealed to him, in which the dawn of this legend is revealed. An overwhelming truth about the origins of the Church which has been hidden to us for two thousand years emerges from these documents. They strongly challenge what until now they have tried to make take root in our minds.

It is a great revelation for the whole world, and could spark off a great rebellion of the faith by the people if it were to disclosed.

Lastly, the two letters, the hypnosis and the manuscript lead the hero to the noblest purpose in his regard:

“to the unexpected revelation.”
