The 7 secrets have been kept secret for 77 generations.
But today is the 7th day of the 7th cycle, and the initiated are allowed to share 7 hints.
For the chosen ones, 7 secret doors will appear during their lifetime. But as anyone who forgot their keys knows, facing a door isn’t enough; you need to open it.
In this article, you’ll find 7 keys to master the 7 secrets. I won’t reveal the secrets themselves — for obvious reasons. But it’s the journey that counts, not the goal.
#1 — Listen to children
For children, there’s nothing more important in the world than themselves.
They’re not at the center of their world; they’re their whole world. Nothing else exists. Anything bad happening to someone else isn’t sad per se; it’s sad because it negatively impacts them.
Find your inner child and embrace the selfishness to master the first secret of the 7 secrets.
#2 — Peel bananas the other way
People who don’t know about the 7 secrets peel their bananas the wrong way. Change your mindset and peel your bananas the other way. It will create new neuronal connections in the left hemisphere of your brain.
If you manage to mirror the changes in your right hemisphere, you’ll be one step closer to mastery.
#3 — Wear socks of different colors
This is one of the strongest statements you can make in our modern world. It’s not only about showing you don’t care about silly fashion rules; it’s an act of rebellion against the system.
We wear socks of different colors because we don’t have time for futilities.
It’s also a clever way of signaling you’re a secret member of the 7 secrets society.
#4 — Write listicles with (exactly) 7 items
Many people write listicles, but too few of them use the magic number 7. It’s a shame because by writing 7 bullets in 7 different listicles, one can open the secret door hidden in the middle of the 7 secrets.
Taking this shortcut requires courage, but it’s worth it.
#5 — Have a tonsure
For millennia, priests and monks asked hairdressers for tonsures. Even in ancient Egypt, tonsures were of the highest fashion. Look at the Great Sphinx of Giza; you don’t see hair, do you?
A tonsure should be kept secret. It’s a private connection to the world of the 7 secrets and shouldn’t be revealed to uninitiated eyes.
My recommendation? Wear a hat.
#6 — Ask your Grandma for help
Grandmas used to be the most respected knowledge holders a few centuries back.
Now they’re confined to playing a small part in Cheerios commercials. It’s a shame we don’t give their due respect. But it doesn’t change anything; they’re still wise beyond their years.
Listen carefully to your grandma; she knows the way.
#7 — Read my articles
Although I swore on the 7 seals to keep the 7 secrets secret, I found a workaround based on article DCCLXXVII, paragraph 7 of the Seven Secrets Non-Disclosure Agreement.
In each article, I published on Substack, the 77th word is a power word. Write them all down and send the resulting sentence by email to 7 of your friends and put me in cc. I shall add you all to the secret mailing list of the 7 secrets.
