574 The Secret History of the World
We notice that, on the Cosmic Tree, the position of Knowledge is a facilitator
for the cycling of 6th density energies to move into Union with the one which is,
in effect, an instantaneous (or timeless) to Being and Non-being which then
initiates a new cycle of consciousness that regenerates as dense matter and
consciousness that emerges bilaterally into the Beautiful Names and Wrathful
Names of God to initiate the drama all over again.
When we look at the Human Tree of Life, which is the mirror image, we see that
the position of Knowledge is now held by the genetic body, which is ON the
Central axis. We then realize that this is our facilitator.
The genetic body is the control center for the physical body since it transduces
the Central axis energies, so whichever Thought Center is dominant will control
the physical experience. Not only that, but we can see another possibility - namely,
that knowledge and genetics are directly interactive. At the 3rd density level,
genes are the Logos!
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was
God Himself. He was present originally with God. All things were made and came
into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has
come into being.
Sounds like Cosmic Chromosomes! It is through our genetics that we have the
potential of aligning with the Central vertical axis and “changing Thought
Centers”. And, just as 2nd density Nature is a reflection of 6th density Knowledge
in the Cosmic Tree, so is our genetic code the 2nd density reflection of all that
exists as potential within US as human beings.
It could even be said that all of nature exists within US.
Gurdjieff addressed the issues of this chapter as well, showing that the source of
his information was very similar to the “Q source” of Alchemical teachings. This
is evident in the answer he gave to Ouspensky when the latter asked, “Can it be
said that man possesses immortality?”, Gurdjieff replied:
“Immortality is one of the qualities we ascribe to people without having a sufficient
understanding of their meaning. Other qualities of this kind are ‘individuality’, in
the sense of an inner unity, a ‘permanent and unchangeable I’, ‘consciousness’, and
‘will’. All these qualities can belong to man, but this certainly does not mean that
they do belong to him or belong to each and every one.”
“In order to understand what man is at the present time, that is, at the present level
of development, it is necessary to imagine to a certain extent what he can be, that is,
what he can attain. Only by understanding the correct sequence of development
possible will people cease to ascribe to themselves what, at present, they do not
possess, and what, perhaps, they can only acquire after great effort and great labor.”
“According to an ancient teaching, traces of which may be found in many systems,
old and new, a man who has attained the full development possible for man, a man
in the full sense of the word, consists of four bodies. These four bodies are
composed of substances which gradually become finer and finer, mutually
interpenetrate one another, and form four independent organisms, standing in a
definite relationship to one another but capable of independent action.”
Gurdjieff’s idea was that it was possible for these four bodies to exist because
the physical human body has such a complex organization that, under certain
