Gurdjieff: Cosmic Secrets

By Russell A. Smith

Metaphysical discussion of the teachings of Gurdjieff with emphasis on numerological and mathematical aspects. Topics include: the Enneagram, Law of Three, Law of Seven, Ratio of the Cosmic Rumple, Three inner octaves, 69 vibrations with define Life, octaves in the universe, dna, much more. Illustrated with diagrams. Cosmic Secrets is the seminal work of Russell A. Smith which brings the ubiquitous underlying objective structure of the macro- and micro-cosm into focus for the seeker of truth. Using only fundamental maths, he has presented in one volume both the knowledge and the tools required to rearrange one's inner world according to a proper law-conformable paradigm. From the opening lines of the Author's Note: "As we journey into the vast, intricate terrain of the laws of World-creation and World-maintenance, it will serve us well: to know where we are; remember where we have been; and understand where we are going. Since in our endeavors we shall not only venture horizontally-along the same scale, but vertically-traversing many scales...following guideposts...added to help the intuitive traveler find his way..." His exposition illuminates the answer to a question that has been on the mind of Man since the dawn of reason: WHY ARE THINGS THE WAY THEY ARE?

An exact inquiry into Gurdjieff's universal laws of 3 & 7

This book is the only one among the plethora of post Gurdjieffian literature (with the exception of C. Daly King's "The Oragean Version") to take Gurdjieff's actual writings seriously. Smith has developed Gurdjieff's formulations in All & Everything, 1st Series to obtain exact mathematical explanations of all Life (No Less!) which aid one in finding objective meaning in daily life("All Life is Mathematics"-G.). This book definitely demands mental effort and provides objective benefit.
