“
This system, which maintains everything arisen and existing, was actualized by our
ENDLESS CREATOR in order that what is called the ‘exchange of substances’ or the
‘Reciprocal-feeding’ of everything that exists, might proceed in the Universe and
thereby that the merciless ‘Heropass’ might not have its maleficent effect on the
Sun Absolute.
Gurdjieff

4. THE DESCENDING OCTAVE
• Descending octaves are creative,
beginning with an intention and (if they
complete) leading to something concrete
• We have colored the notes differently
because each note has a different character
• 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. Such
failure is very common
• Descending octaves lead to multiplicity,
ascending octaves, to unity

5. THE ASCENDING OCTAVE
• Ascending octaves are “receptive” in the sense
that the thing being transformed (perhaps it is
you yourself) is passive at every level
• The first difficulty 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
• Such examples make it clear how difficult it is to
pass through the si-do interval

6. THE TROGOAUTOEGOCRAT
• The Trogoautoegocrat is the combination of all
octaves of every scale everywhere.
• The Octave was created with the mathematical
pattern shown in the adjacent diagram.
• This pattern drives everything.
• A useful way to think about the Trogoautoegocrat
is to think of yourself, particularly your body and
how it functions: eating, breathing, sensing.
• Think about all its circulations and how it never
stops until death, transforming substances up and
down.
• The Universe is the same, but at a different much
larger scale

7. THE LAW OF THREE: FROM THE TALES (1)
“And in regard to the second primordial fundamental
cosmic law, and, namely, the Sacred-Triamazikamno,
common-cosmic objective science also formulates
with the words:
“‘A new arising from the previously arisen through
the “Harnelmiatznel,” the process of which is
actualized thus:
the higher blends with the lower in order to actualize
the middle and thus becomes either higher for the
preceding lower, or lower for the succeeding higher;
and as I already told you, this Sacred-Triamazikamno
consists of three independent forces, which are called:
the first, ‘Surp-Otheos’;
the second, ‘Surp-Skiros’;
the third, ‘Surp-Athanatos’;
which three holy forces of the sacred Triamazikamno
the said science calls as follows:
the first, the Affirming-force’ or the ‘Pushing-force’ or
simply the ‘Force-plus’;
the second, the ‘Denying-force’ or the ‘Resisting-
force’ or simply the ‘Force-minus’;
and the third, the ‘Reconciling-force’ or the
‘Equilibrating-force’ or the ‘Neutralizing-force.’
p751
• The word ‘Harnelmiatznel’ means mixing and merging,
from the Armenian words “harnel” meaning “to mix” and
“miatznel” meaning “to enter or join.”
• “Surp” is Armenian for “Holy.” Surp-Otheos, Surp Skiros,
Surp-Athanatos is the prayer “Holy God, Holy the Firm,
Holy the Immortal”
• “This prayer comes from ancient knowledge. Holy God
means the Absolute or All. Holy the Firm also means the
Absolute or Nothing. Holy the Immortal signifies that
which is between them, that is, the six notes of the Ray of
Creation, with organic life. All three taken together make
one. This is the coexistent and indivisible Trinity.” [In Search
of the Miraculous p139]
• First Force: Affirming, Pushing, Force-plus
Second Force: Denying, Resisting, Force-minus
Third Force: Reconciling, Equilibrating, Neutralizing

8. THE LAW OF THREE
• There is an order to this 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.

9. 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.

10. ETHEROKRILNO
“This same “Etherokrilno is that prime-source
substance with which the whole Universe is filled,
and which is the basis for the arising and
maintenance of everything existing.
“Not only is this Etherokrilno the basis for the
arising of all cosmic concentrations without
exception, both large and small, but also all cosmic
phenomena in general proceed during some
transformation in this same fundamental cosmic
substance as well as during the processes of the
involution and evolution of various crystallizations
—or, as your favorites say, of those active elements—
which have obtained and still continue to obtain
their prime arising from this same fundamental
prime-source cosmic substance.
“Bear in mind, here, that it is just because of this
that the mentioned Objective Science says that
‘everything without exception in the Universe is
material.’
p137-138

11. ETHEROKRILNO
“This same “Etherokrilno is that prime-source
substance with which the whole Universe is filled,
and which is the basis for the arising and
maintenance of everything existing.
“Not only is this Etherokrilno the basis for the
arising of all cosmic concentrations without
exception, both large and small, but also all cosmic
phenomena in general proceed during some
transformation in this same fundamental cosmic
substance as well as during the processes of the
involution and evolution of various crystallizations
—or, as your favorites say, of those active elements—
which have obtained and still continue to obtain
their prime arising from this same fundamental
prime-source cosmic substance.
“Bear in mind, here, that it is just because of this
that the mentioned Objective Science says that
‘everything without exception in the Universe is
material.’
p137-138
• Etherokrilno: The word ‘ether’ is the anglicization of the Latin aether
which is from the Greek aither which in Greek thought was regarded as
the fifth element, from which we get the word ‘quintessential.’ The ‘o’
is probably a filler vowel. ‘Kril’ is ‘wing’ in several slavonic languages,
thus ‘krilno’ may imply winged.
• In Greek thought ether was the material that filled the region of the
universe above the terrestrial sphere. In Greek mythology it was the
pure essence that the gods breathed, filling the space where they lived,
analogous the air mortals breathed.
• In the Tales “In the beginning, when nothing yet existed and when the whole of
our Universe was empty endless space with the presence of only the prime-source
cosmic substance ‘Etherokrilno,’ our present Most Great and Most Most Holy
Sun Absolute existed alone in all this empty space, and it was on this then sole
cosmic concentration that our UNI-BEING CREATOR with HIS cherubim and
seraphim had the place of HIS most glorious Being.”
• Prior to the creation, the Sun Absolute existed alone in empty space
and there were no substances as we understand them. There was no
Trogoautoegocrat. There was only Autoegocrat. There was no feeding.

12. OKIDANOKH
“You must also know further, that only one cosmic
crystallization, existing under the name
‘Omnipresent-Okidanokh,’ obtains its prime arising
—although it also is crystallized from Etherokrilno—
from the three Holy sources of the sacred
Theomertmalogos, that is, from the emanation of
the Most Holy Sun Absolute.
“Everywhere in the Universe, this ‘Omnipresent-
Okidanokh’ or ‘Omnipresent-Active-Element’ takes
part in the formation of all both great and small
arisings, and is, in general, the fundamental cause
of most of the cosmic phenomena and, in particular,
of the phenomena proceeding in the atmospheres…
“In order that you may be able to understand, at
least approximately, concerning this Omnipresent-
Okidanokh also, I must tell you, first of all, that the
second fundamental cosmic law—the Sacred
Triamazikamno—consists of three independent
forces, that is to say, this sacred law manifests in
everything, without exception, and everywhere in
the Universe, in three separate independent aspects.
p138
• Okidanokh etymology: Oki “soul” Armenian, da “given”
from Latin verb dare to give, nokh Armenian “the one who.”
Combined this suggests: “the one who give a soul” the
substance that gives a soul.
• We presume that this means Okidanokh is the source of all
awareness—that Okidanokh plays a role in all life.
• Okidanokh is crystallized from Etherokrilno. It is a
substance that is engendered by the interaction between
Etherokrilno and the emanations of the Most Holy Sun
Absolute—the sacred Theomertmalogos
• Theomertmalogos: Theo “God” Greek, mertma Armenian
“man/mother” logos Greek “word” or “essence.” On p756 it
is called “Word-God”—which may be the vibrations of “the
Word.”

13. OKIDANOKH
“And these three aspects exist in the Universe under
the following denominations:
“The first, under the denomination, the ‘Holy-
Affirming’;
“The second, the ‘Holy-Denying’; and
“The third, the ‘Holy-Reconciling.’
“And this is also why, concerning this sacred law
and its three independent forces, the said Objective
Science has, among its formulations, specially
concerning this sacred law, the following:
‘A law which always flows into a consequence and
becomes the cause of subsequent consequences, and
always functions by three independent and quite
opposite characteristic manifestations, latent within
it, in properties neither seen nor sensed.’
“Our sacred Theomertmalogos also, that is, the
prime emanation of our Most Holy Sun Absolute,
acquires just this same lawfulness at its prime
arising; and, during its further actualizations, gives
results in accordance with it.
p139

14. OKIDANOKH & DJARTKLOM
“And so, my boy, the Omnipresent-Okidanokh
obtains its prime arising in space outside of the Most
Holy Sun Absolute itself, from the blending of these
three independent forces into one, and during its
further involutions it is correspondingly changed, in
respect of what is called the ‘Vivifyingness of
Vibrations’ according to its passage through what
are called the ‘Stopinders’ or ‘gravity centers’ of the
fundamental ‘common-cosmic sacred
Heptaparaparshinokh.’
“I repeat, among the number of other already
definite cosmic crystallizations, the Omnipresent-
Okidanokh unfailingly always participates in both
large and small cosmic formations, wherever and
under whatever external surrounding conditions
they may arise in the Universe.
“This ‘common-cosmic Unique-Crystallization’ or
‘Active-Element’ has several peculiarities proper to
this element alone, and it is chiefly owing to these
peculiarities proper to it that the majority of cosmic
phenomena proceed, including, among other things,
the said phenomena that take place in the
atmosphere of certain planets.
p139

15. OKIDANOKH & DJARTKLOM
Djartklom!
“The first peculiarity is that when a new cosmic unit is
being concentrated, then the ‘Omnipresent-Active-
Element’ does not blend, as a whole, with such a new
arising, nor is it transformed as a whole in any definite
corresponding place—as happens with every other
cosmic crystallization in all the said cosmic formations
—but immediately on entering as a whole into any
cosmic unit, there immediately occurs in it what is
called ‘Djartklom,’ that is to say, it is dispersed into the
three fundamental sources from which it obtained its
prime arising, and only then do these sources, each
separately, give the beginning for an independent
concentration of three separate corresponding
formations within the given cosmic unit. And in this
way, this ‘Omnipresent-Active-Element’ actualizes at
the outset, in every such new arising, the sources for
the possible manifestation of its own sacred law of
Triamazikamno.
“It must without fail be noticed also, that in every cos-
mic formation, the said separated sources, both for the
perception and for the further utilization of this
property of the ‘Omnipresent-Active-Element’ for the
purpose of the corresponding actualizing, exist and
continue to have the possibility of functioning as long
as the given cosmic unit exists. p139-140

16. OKIDANOKH & DJARTKLOM
“And only after the said cosmic unit has been
completely destroyed do these holy sources of the
sacred Triamazikamno, localized in the ‘Omnipresent-
Active-Element-Okidanokh,’ reblend and they are again
transformed into ‘Okidanokh,’ but having now another
quality of Vivifyingness of Vibrations.
“As regards the second peculiarity of the ‘Omnipresent-
Okidanokh,’ equally proper to it alone, and which it is
also necessary for us to elucidate just now for the given
theme of our talk, you will be able to understand about
that, only if you know something concerning one
fundamental cosmic second-degree law, existing in the
Universe, under the denomination of the ‘Sacred
Aieioiuoa.’
“And this cosmic law is, that there proceeds within every
arising large and small, when in direct touch with the
emanations either of the Sun Absolute itself or of any
other sun, what is called ‘Remorse,’ that is, a process
when every part that has arisen from the results of any
one Holy Source of the Sacred Triamazikamno, as it
were, ‘revolts’ and ‘criticizes’ the former unbecoming
perceptions and the manifestations at the moment of
another part of its whole—a part obtained from the
results of another Holy Source of the same fundamental
sacred Cosmic Law of Triamazikamno. p139-140
• The Omnipresent Okidanokh is an emanation of the Absolute.
• It is always an active force. It confers awareness.
• It is omnipresent in the Megalocosmos because cosmic units
exist everywhere at every level and at every scale.
• The level of awareness varies according to the vivifyingness
(quality) of the Okidanokh.
• It can change in quality during a lifetime, ascending or
descending.
• We are factories, (commutators) of substances—given life by
Okidanokh. In a sense we are Okidanokh.
• Remorse proceeds in us when we directly contact/touch the Sun
Absolute or any other Sun.
• This is because it shines a light on our imperfections, just as light
penetrates a dark room. We see what we are and feel remorse.
• Remorse is what makes stars shine—the sacred Aieioiuoa

17. THE STEP DIAGRAM
• The Diagram of Everything Living shows a
“splinter” of The Trogoautoegocrat—the
specific splinter that involves Earth and Moon.
• It depicts a series of life forms including some
that we do not normally recognize as life forms.
• The central Hydrogen in every square is the
level of the Ominipresent Okidanokh that the
life form is.
• Because the Hydrogens were “stepped down”
twice, the top square is the Sun Absolute.
• We name the bottom square “Kernel.” The
word choice indicates that this square (life
form) is inevitably foundational.
• The top triple, is Etherokrilno.

18. THE CREATION
“…our COMMON FATHER CREATOR ALMIGHTY, having …
changed the functioning of both these primordial sacred
laws, directed the action of their forces from within the
Most Holy Sun Absolute into the space of the Universe,
whereupon there was obtained the what is called
‘Emanation-of-the-Sun-Absolute’ and now called,
‘Theomertmalogos’ or ‘Word-God.’
…
“The subsequent creation went on automatically, of its
own accord, entirely without the participation of His
Own Divine Will Power, thanks only to these two
changed fundamental primordial cosmic laws.
“And the process itself of creation proceeded then in the
following successiveness:
“Thanks to the new particularity of the fifth Stopinder
of the sacred Heptaparaparshinokh, these emanations
issuing from the Sun Absolute began to act at certain
definite points of the space of the Universe upon the
prime-source cosmic substance Etherokrilno from
which, owing to the totality of the former and the new
particularities of the sacred primordial laws, certain
definite concentrations began to be concentrated.
p756-757
• The force of the creation is the action of the
emanation of the Sun Absolute which is
called Theomertmalogos.
• This works in combination with the law of
seven and the law of three to actualize
cosmic units.
• The first cosmic units to be actualized are
second order suns, suns like our own sun.
• The fifth stopinder (sol-la) of the Ray of
Creation is the point at which the first suns
(or stars) appear. It is because this stopinder
is the Harnel Aoot that this happens.
• The first element to form is H12, our
hydrogen

21. THE CREATION
• The force of The Creation is the action of the emanation of
the Sun Absolute which is called Theomertmalogos.
• This works in combination with the law of seven and the
law of three to actualize cosmic units.
• The first comic units to be actualized are second order
suns, suns like our own sun.
• Probably the Theomertmalogos, acts as third force, in the
form of Omnipresent Okidanokh, in respect of the further
creation of third order suns.
• Crystallizations of different density are formed around the
Second order suns directly from Etherokrilno.
• Gurdjieff does not state the process of how these third
order suns are created. He is vague to the point of
obscurity.
“The Most Most Holy Theomertmalogos began to
manifest itself in the quality of the third holy force of the
sacred Triamazikamno; the results of any one of the
newly arisen Second-order-Suns began to serve as the
first holy force; and the results of all the other newly
arisen Second-order-Suns in relation to this mentioned
one newly arisen Sun, as the second holy force of this
sacred law.
“Thanks to the process of the common-cosmic sacred
Triamazikamno thus established in the space of the Uni-
verse, crystallizations of different what is called ‘density’
gradually began to be formed around each of the
Second-order-Suns out of that same prime-source
Etherokrilno, and grouping themselves around these
newly arisen Suns, new concentrations began to take
form, as a result of which more new Suns were
obtained, but this time ‘Third-order-Suns.’
“These third-order concentrations are just those cosmic
concentrations which at the present time are called
planets.
p757-758

22. A SUMMARY
• Theomertmalogos (Word-God) emanates from the Sun Absolute
and crystallizes the active element Omnipresent Okidanokh,
which combines the three distinct forces of Triamazikamno.
• A range of Okidanokh : H3, H6, H12, …, H3072 pervades the
creation.
• The megalocosmos comprises:
• The Sun Absolute
• Etherokrilno and Okidanokh (both of which are
omnipresent)
• Cosmic units (living things at every scale and of every
possible density and vibration)
• Substances which are within cosmic units (which have
varying density and vibration).
• The creation took place when the Absolute changed the
functioning of the Law of Seven and its interaction with the Law
of Three. Having done this he exerted his will in his emanation
of Theomertmalogos.
• The immediate consequences was the creation of “second order”
suns. The galaxies came later.
• Once this began, the Trogoautoegocrat was formed and it has
persisted ever since.
