About this number
Felix Thorne brings an 11 into the sum without keeping it: E and I in Felix add to 14 and reduce to 5, O and E in Thorne add to 11, and 5 plus 11 makes 16, then 7. The vowels reach 25 if added at once, which also ends on 7.
Cheasley's 1916 notes suit a measure of private wants better than most. He lists rest, reticence, worship and a jealously guarded private life, and he says the number is drawn to all of nature's expressions.
Balliett in 1905 describes a fear that someone will uncover the secrets of the pack carried on the back, and Coffman in 1927 heads his section on the 7 space with the word Subconscious, which he adds to 43 and reduces to 7. Modern popular books read this Soul Urge as a wish for understanding and time alone, and they usually leave out the fear.
