THE ENNEAGRAM
Symbol of All and Everything
Excerpts 2
An original intelligence shapes and maintains the world. It could be said
that everything is quite scientific. However, the distance between man and
the Absolute is such that the model of existence does not fit our logic
and understanding. We are the part trying to infer the Whole starting from
the projection of the Whole in a world with less dimensions — but this doesn't
hinder us from trying this exercise of understanding, for the growth of
our being.
The study of reality includes a mathematical model, in the sense of Objective
Science. It is a cyclical model, at the same time algorithmic and heuristic,
where there are so many interferences amongst the systems, that at our level
we attribute almost everything to "chance".
(p. 53)
Technology
The Work is, actually, technology. Gurdjieff spoke about the "technique
of religion" and all his teaching consists of techniques for the growth
of Being.

The appropriate use of colors
makes conscious influence possible. Although Gurdjieff said that only
fragments of the Law of Combination of Colors has reached us, he gives
it great importance, chiefly in legominisms.
