Beelzebubs-Tales-to-His-Grandson-by-G-I-Gurdjieff

Endlessness—that is, 1, 921, 600 tonalities, can be perceived as 'differentcolors' by all ordinary beings on whatever planet of our Great Universe theyarise."But if the three-brained beings complete the perfecting of their highestpart, and their organ for the perception of visibility thereby acquires thesensitivity of what is called 'olooestesnokhnian sight,' they can thendistinguish two-thirds of the total number of tonalities existing in the Universewhich, according to terrestrial calculation, amounts to 3, 843, 200different tonalities of color."And only those three-brained beings who perfect their highest being-partto the state of what is called 'Ishmetch' become able to perceive anddistinguish the total number of blendings or tonalities, with the exception ofthat one tonality which, as I have already told you, is accessible to theperception of our All-Maintaining Creator alone."Although I intend to explain to you later in detail how and why in thepresences of 'insapalnian cosmic concentrations' every definite formationacquires, from evolving and involving processes, the property of producingvarious effects upon this organ of beings, nevertheless I do not consider itsuperfluous to touch upon this question now."First of all it must be said that the 'common integral vibration,' like everyalready definite cosmic formation, is formed according to the completedresult of the fundamental cosmic law of the holy Heptaparaparshinokh,namely, that cosmic law which the three-brained beings of the planet Earth ofthe Babylonian period called the 'Law of Sevenfoldness', in other words, thisvibration consists of seven complexes of results or, as is sometimes said,seven 'classes of vibrations' issuing from cosmic sources, whose arising andfurther action depend on seven other sources, which in their turn arise anddepend on seven further ones, and so on right up to the first most holy,unique, seven-propertied vibration issuing from the Most Holy Prime Source.
