A NON ATHEISTIC COSMOLOGY
• The atheistic Lambda CDM cosmology with
its ridiculous Big Bang, Dark Matter, Dark
Energy ideas currently dominates, but only
financially. It is intellectually bankrupt.
• It is likely to be replaced by a cosmology
based on The Electric Universe—mainly due
to the SAFIRE project.
• We intend to introduce Gurdjieff’s non-
atheistic cosmology into the situation. It will
necessitate a campaign. We will have to make
some noise.
• In this seminar we outline the narrative of
the Gurdjieffian cosmology.

THE CREATION
• The Creation of the universe was caused by a supreme
intelligence, we which refer to as the Absolute. It formulated
two distinct laws: the law of octaves and the law of three.
• The Absolute implemented them while endowing the two
laws with an initiating vibration. This initiating vibration can
be thought of as “The Word,” but it is easier to comprehend
as a specific pattern of vibration.
• Afterwards, the universe began to manifest in accordance
with these laws.
• Because of these laws, suns were formed, which we can and
should think of as lifeforms. Indeed as a general rule any
sophisticated system that persists at any level can be thought
of as a life form.
• The suns gave rise both to galaxies (local aggregations of
suns) and to solar systems (suns surrounded by planets and
moons)

THE LAW OF THREE
• All events of any kind at any level happen in accordance
with the law of three.
• It works in the following way. There is an order to the
process.
• First the active force manifests in a substance.
• It encounters a substance where the passive or
resisting force is manifesting.
• There is a third substance through which the
neutralizing force manifests.
• Then the event occurs, producing a new substance that
is a blending of the first two substances.
• The substance through which the neutralizing force
manifests remains unchanged by the action.
• We can usually identify the resisting force (but not
always). We often fail to recognize the “oil” that is the
third force.

OCTAVES - THE LAW OF SEVEN
• Descending octaves are creative, beginning with an intention and
(if they complete) leading to something concrete. All attempts to
create something give rise to descending octaves.
• The do-si interval is filled by intention (by the will of the
creator). If the octave fails at the fa-mi interval there will be
some evidence of what was intended, but it will be incomplete.
• Ascending octaves are “receptive” in the sense that the thing
being transformed (perhaps it is you, yourself) is passive at
every level.
• The first interval is encountered at the mi-fa interval, which
cannot be passed without “help from outside.” It is even more
difficult to pass through the si-do interval
• A good example of an ascending octave, is the octave of learning
something: how to do math, how to play tennis, how to play a
tune on the piano

THE FRACTIONING OF THE OCTAVE
• This fractioning takes us from very large objects as notes (galaxies, suns, planets, etc.) down
to very small objects as notes (subatomic particles).
• Note that each of the inner octaves also has intervals, and so there are many places where a
descending octave may stall.
• It may stall at any note.

EARTH, WATER AIR AND FIRE
• Seven different densities of atoms (i.e. orders of
materiality) are defined. Only an atom of the Absolute
is truly indivisible. All other atoms can be divided.
• The density of these seven classes of substances and
the number of laws that apply correspond directly.
• Everything that exists can be viewed as being
composed of atoms.
• All these atoms interpenetrate each other. This is the
case at all levels and it is pervasive.
• We can think of the four densest classes using the
Ancient Greek classification of:
Earth, Water, Air and Fire.

THE STRUCTURE OF THE OCTAVE
• The Octave was created with the mathematical
pattern shown in the adjacent diagram. This
pattern drives everything. It determines the
form of everything in the universe.
• A useful and practical way to think about the
universe is that it is the body of a living
creature, similar to your body. It eats, it
breathes and it perceives in some way.
• Think about all the circulations in your body
and all the transformations of substance, and
how it never stops until death, transforming
substances up and down.
• The Universe is the same, but at a different
much larger scale—and it is not mortal.

COSMIC UNITS
• The structure of the octave gives rise to lifeforms (or
cosmic units) which internally have a triple octave.
The mi-fa intervals in those octaves is where eating,
breathing and perceiving happens.
As Above
So Below

COSMIC UNITS
• Substances circulate within every life form being
transformed by the law of three at specific places
within the life form.
• Lifeforms can be composite like Russian dolls.
Humanity is a life form, man is a life form, a cell of
your body is a life form.

• We can also represent a life form by an enneagram.
• God, Sun, Planet, Man and Microbe are all the same

THE TROGOAUTOEGOCRAT
“This same Most Great common-cosmic
Trogoautoegocratic-process is actualized always and in
everything on the basis of the two fundamental cosmic
laws, the first of which is called the ‘Fundamental-First-
degree-Sacred- Heptaparaparshinokh,’ and the second
the ‘Fundamental-First-degree-Sacred-Triamazikamno.’
“Owing to these two fundamental sacred cosmic laws,
there first arise from the substance called ‘Etherokrilno,’
under certain conditions, what are called
‘crystallizations’; and from these crystallizations, but
later, and also under certain conditions, there are formed
various large and small, more or less independent,
cosmic definite formations.
“It is just within and upon these cosmic definite
formations that the processes of what are called the
involution and evolution of the already formed
concentrations and also of the said crystallizations take
place—of course also according to the two said
fundamental sacred laws—and all the results obtained
from those processes in atmospheres, and further, by
means of these atmospheres themselves, blend and go
for the actualizing of the said ‘exchange-of-matters’ for
the purposes of the Most Great common-cosmic
Trogoautoegocrat.
p137
• According to the text, it is because of these two laws (law of
7 and Law of 3) that crystallizations arise from
Etherokrilno. And that cosmoses (more or less independent
cosmic definite formations) are created.
• It is within and upon these cosmoses that involution and
evolution (of substances) takes place.
• All the results obtained from these processes in atmospheres
and by means of these atmospheres they participate in the
Trogoautoegocrat at a higher level.
• The “Most Great common cosmic Trogoautoegocrat” most
likely refers to the exchange of substances up and down the
ray of creation.
• Put another way: Man and Animals arise on the Earth and
their atmospheres feed the Moon.

TIME: THE UNIQUE SUBJECTIVE
• Time occurs within cosmic units and can be measured by
breath. A lifetime includes a specific number of breaths.
Lifetimes are subjective: whether a flea or a man or a planet,
the lifetimes is experienced subjectively as the same subjective
time.
• The only exceptions are the Absolute and the Sun Absolute.
They experience sequences of events, but not subjective time.
• We can think of time as having three dimensions:
• The first dimension is linear time.
• The second is the circular (and hence planar) time of
recurrence.
• The third is the three dimensional spiral of reincarnation.
We can also think of this as the path of the bodhisattva.

eternity is three dimensional.

PLASMA COSMOLOGY: BIRKELAND CURRENTS
Plasma Cosmology is based on the idea of a web
of Birkeland Currents pervading the universe.
Birkeland currents are twisted pairs of plasma
flows that are sheathed in a double plasma layer.
They pass from galaxy to galaxy from galaxy to
sun from sun to planet and in some
circumstances from planet to Moon
The intertwined pair contains a compressed
central cylinder which can give rise to a
plasmoid, which can form the seed of a sun.

PLASMA COSMOLOGY: BIRKELAND CURRENTS

Birkeland currents are twisted pairs of plasma

They pass from galaxy to galaxy from galaxy to
sun from sun to planet and in some
circumstances from planet to Moon
The intertwined pair contains a compressed
central cylinder which can give rise to a
plasmoid, which can form the seed of a sun.
The central flow is organized according to ions
of specific elements most of which are the
elements of life.
Most likely there is a plasma flow from the
Absolute (emitting positive charge) to the
center of moons, planets and suns, The Holy
Firm (which emit negative charge).

THE ELECTRIC SUN
Birkeland currents enter from the
poles, providing the main current
strength.
A flow of positive ions (the main
current) emerges from the surface of
the Sun.
A secondary current circuit flows
within the Sun, induced by the main
current, which seems to give rise to the
magnetic loops that form on the
surface of the Sun.
All bodies (galaxy, sun, planets) are
surrounded by a double layer of plasma

THE ELECTRIC HELIOSPHERE
Positive ions flow from the surface of
the Sun in all directions.
This stream becomes increasingly
negatively charged as it moves towards
the heliopause.
The heliopause has a temperature of
30,000-50,0000C, far hotter than the
surface of the Sun.
Ultimately a negatively charged current
is attracted back to the Sun.
The flow of current within the plane of
the ecliptic is positively charged.

THE BIRTH OF A SUN OR PLANET
New Suns and planets are born as a
consequence of Novas and Supernovas.
The electrical charge of the Sun rises to
such an extent that the plasma double
layer and its surface explode in a very brief
Arc mode flash spreading plasma in all
directions.
The new Sun or planet forms by virtue of
the simple electromagnetic fact that two
spheres of a smaller size with roughly the
same volume as the original sphere can
carry more charge per cubic volume.
This can happen at any level from Super
Giants down to Planets. This is probably
how our Moon was formed.

THE LATERAL (SIDE) OCTAVE FROM THE SUN
• Initially the Ray of Creation cannot progress past
the note fa.
• The Sun sounds the note do of a lateral octave and
this creates the conditions by which the interval
can be filled.
• The note si blends with the note fa of the Ray of
Creation. The note mi and re blend with mi of the
Earth and re of the Moon respectively.
• Organic life on Earth fills the interval between the
planets and the Earth allowing influences from the
planets to reach Earth.
• Organic life on Earth also plays a role in respect of
the growth of the Moon. It creates substances that
feed the Moon, helping to create its atmosphere.

EVOLUTION—NEW ZEALAND
Until man introduced mammals, New Zealand
ecosystem evolved from birds.
This provides us with an excellent example of how
evolution probably occurs.
Individual species do not evolve—what would they
eat, or to be more exact, how would they fit into
the local trogoautoegocrat?
Ecosystems evolve. This is clear when we consider
life at the bacterial level. It is clear that soil wasn’t
created by random evolutions.
In New Zealand birds took on the roles that
mammals would usually take. Many became
flightless. (Why would a bird do that?)
No new attempt by amphibians to get onto the land
in New Zealand occurred.

THE STEP DIAGRAM, ORGANIC EVOLUTION
• The Diagram of Everything Living shows a “splinter”
of The Trogoautoegocrat (the life form that is the
universe)—it is the splinter that involves Earth and
Moon.
• Planetary influence reaches Earth by means of
Plasma (radiation and emanation).
• Evolution happens at the level of the ecosystem. The
mechanism is probably planetary (astrological).
• Evidence indicates that Man is only lately evolved.
However, Gurdjieff suggested that Nature had tried
to “people” the planet 5 times.
• Man’s role in the Air triple is: to be a vehicle for the
planets and food for the Moon.
• In most circumstances Man is only a two or one-
brained being.

WHEELS WITHIN WHEELS
There must inevitably be a side octave of the side
octave. (An evolutionary cosmos/enneagram
requires this).
Sathanael is the Lord of This World, the fallen
angel, who is the representative of the Moon on
Earth.
He is Lord of the vertebrates (the cloven hoofed)
and the “thwarter” of Man—but quite distinct
from the picture painted by the medieval church
Just as Prophets and Teachers descend to interact
with Man, Sathanael rises above his realm to
provide an obstacle to Man’s evolution.
All the “elementals,” plasma beings that
correspond to the life forms and aspects of nature,
belong to this third octave.

FOOD FOR THE MOON
When animals and humans die they give
up H96 (immune system energy), H48
(mechanical parts of centers) and H24
(lower emotions and moving center)
This is distinct from any Kesdjan
formation. It is a “splitting into three.”
This “lowest soul” is negatively charged
and rises to the ionosphere, as does the
Kesdjan body.
The Kesdjan body remains in the
ionosphere, where it may die or
reincarnate.
If it dies it provides Hydrogens for the
Moon.
From the ionosphere Hydrogens move into
the plasma sheet that stretches out within
the Earth’s Magnetosphere away from the
Sun
For 5/6 days of the month, the Moon enters
the Earth’s magnetosphere.
At that time the plasma sheet plays across
both sides of the surface of the Moon.
At that point the H24, H48 and H96 can
become part of the Moon’s atmosphere.

A SUMMARY
• The creation took place when the Absolute changed
the functioning of the Law of Seven and its
interaction with the Law of Three. He then exerted
his will—Theomertmalogos.
• The Laws of Three and Seven determine the creation
and evolution of the Universe.
• The universe consists of lifeforms (beings, cosmic
units) at every scale, and substances.
• Time is three dimensional and subjective to the
cosmic unit in which it manifests. It is measured by
breath and by lifetime.
• The absolute is not subject to time.
• The universe is trogoautoegocratic. Substances are
transformed up and down at every level and on every
scale.

A SUMMARY
• Plasma governs the behavior at all scales, but
particularly at the largest scale. The Step diagram
provides the key to the evolution of species.
• It represents the side octave from the Sun in
which organic life participates
• Organic life serves to transmit planetary
influences to the Earth and, by its death primarily
to feed the Moon.
• Ecosystems evolve, not individual species.
• The side octave itself has a side octave which
contains other lifeforms, including elementals, all
of which serve and complement the lifeforms of
the Step diagram in some way.
