Quadrangle $ABCD$ is inscribed in a circle. The perpendicular from the vertex $C$ on the bisector of $\angle ABD$ intersects the line $AB$ at the point $C_1$.

Let points $P_1, P_2, P_3$, and $P_4$ be arranged around a circle in that order. (One possible example is drawn in Diagram 1.) Next draw a line through $P_4$ parallel to $P_1P_2$, intersecting the circle again at $P_5$. (If the line happens to be tangent to the circle, we simply take $P_5 =P_4$, as in Diagram 2. In other words, we consider the second intersection to be the point of tangency again.) Repeat this process twice more, drawing a line through $P_5$ parallel to $P_2P_3$, intersecting the circle again at $P_6$, and finally drawing a line through $P_6$ parallel to $P_3P_4$, intersecting the circle again at $P_7$. Prove that $P_7$ is the same point as $P_1$.
