The Ray of Creation

The meeting started with a continuation of some of the many questions discussed at our previous February meeting.

The questions discussed were mostly about the ray of creation, the law of three and the law of seven, and how the principle of scale shows that our planet earth is almost at the bottom of our particular ray of creation, which is not a good place to be. Also most people have not thought about whether there are better or worse places in the universe and do not realise that they are in almost the worst place in our ray of creation.

Gurdjieff also explained that the musical major scale possesses a symbolic representation of the law of seven which illustrated the regular pattern of occurrence of tones and semitones within each octave of the major scale.

When we set ourselves a goal, our actions relate to the same sequence of the notes of the ascending octave, but start to deviate away from our intended purpose at the place where the semitones in the major scale occur; this is the way things usually happen in life.

If we want to achieve our intended purpose, one must be aware of what is happening at these moments where the semitones occur and make an extra effort to keep things going in the direction we originally intended.
