THE DIAGRAM OF EVERYTHING LIVING
• This is one of the most enigmatic of the
diagrams found in In Search of the Miraculous.


• It is usually referred to as the Diagram of
Everything Living, but is also called the Step
Diagram and was dubbed (poetically) The
Hieroglyph of Life by J G Bennett.


• This diagram relates only to our Earth’s Ray
of Creation. It asserts that everything is alive.


• This is slightly different to what is shown in
In Search of the Miraculous.


• Before we consider the nature of this
diagram, we need to refresh our memories
about the Lateral Octave from the Sun and
the Law of Three in the Ray of Creation.
THE LATERAL OCTAVE FROM THE SUN
• The Ray of Creation cannot progress past the
note fa.


• Therefore the Sun sounds the note do of a
lateral octave and this creates the conditions by
which the interval can be filled.


• The note si (under 48 laws) blends with the
note fa of the Ray of Creation. The notes mi
and re blend with mi of the Earth and re of the
Moon respectively.


• Organic life on Earth fills the interval between
the planets and the Earth allowing influences
from the planets to reach Earth.


• Organic life on Earth also plays a role in
respect of the growth of the Moon. It creates
substances that feed the Moon, helping to
create its atmosphere.
THE LAW OF THREE IN THE RAY
• The adjacent diagram provides deeper detail
on the filling of the mi-fa interval by virtue of
the Law of Three as it creates each of the
worlds of the Ray of Creation.


• Notice that the Galaxy (All Suns) must interact
with planets in order to reach the Sun. This is
about orbiting.


• In the same way, the Planets have to go
through Nature to interact with the Earth. Life
forms a kind of skin over the Earth.


• In the next triad, Organic life interacts with
the Moon and Earth is neutralizing. It creates
“atmosphere” which is eventually transmitted
to the Moon.
ORGANIC LIFE: A CONDUIT
• Organic life is a transmitting station for the
influence of the planets.


• This means that a substance of the planets mixes
with a substance of the Earth in a way that is
mediated by organic life.


• The result is a substance (knowledge perhaps) that
serves the Earth.


• Organic life is thus a transmitting station for
influences that would otherwise never reach the
Earth.


• As the carrier of the neutralizing force it is
unchanged by that action of the planets. Life is
utterly unaware that it is doing this.
ORGANIC LIFE: FOOD FOR THE MOON
• Some substances of organic life mix with some
substances of the Moon. The neutralizing force is
the Earth. The result is that the Moon is fed.
Humanity can be active or passive in this.


• Most likely the Moon feeds on H96 (the energy of
the immune system and also of false personality)
and H48 (the energy of personality).


• The evidence suggests that at death a splitting apart
occurs (rascooarno) between essence and
personality (and possibly also the body of reason).


• The Earth, by its electrical and magnetic nature
transports the “food” the Moon requires. The
product of the interaction is the gradual creation of
an atmosphere for the Moon.
THE COSMIC CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING BEINGS
… it is imperative that you should understand the
principles of the classification and the definition of living
beings from the cosmic point of view, from the point of
view of their cosmic existence. In ordinary science
classification is made according to external traits—bones,
teeth, functions; mammals, vertebrates, rodents, and so on;
in exact knowledge classification is made according to
cosmic traits. As a matter of fact there are exact traits,
identical for ever
y­
thing living, which allows us to establish
the class and the species of a given creature with the
utmost exactitude, both in relation to other creatures as
well as to its own place in the universe.


"These traits are the traits of being. The cosmic level of
being of every living creature is determined:


"First of all by what this creature eats,


"Secondly by what it breathes, and


"Thirdly by the medium in which it lives.


"These are the three cosmic traits of being.


p320
In Search of the Miraculous EXAMPLES


Man: feeds on H768, breathes H192, lives in H192.


Dog: feeds on H768 or H1536.


Bee: feeds on a H192, but lives in an atmosphere that
would be impossible for Man.


Flour worm: feeds on
fl
our, feeds on H768 or H1536
(ro
tt
en
fl
our). It breathes H192 and lives in H1536.


Fish: Feeds on H1536, breathes H192, lives in H384.


Tree: Feeds on H1536, breathes H192 and H96, lives
partly in H192 and partly in H3072 (soil).




Th
is is a general classi
fi
cation. If we consider
subclasses of each Hydrogen then a far more detailed
picture emerges.
”
“
If you help others, you will be helped, perhaps tomorrow,
perhaps in one hundred years, but you will be helped. Nature
must pay off the debt. It is a mathematical law and all life is
mathematics.
Gurdjieff
THE TROGOAUTOEGOCRAT
• The Diagram of Everything Living shows a
“splinter” of The Trogoautoegocrat
—
the
specific splinter that involves Earth and Moon.


• It depicts a series of life forms including some
that we do not normally recognize as life
forms.


• Note that the Hydrogens in this diagram have
been “stepped down” twice. We thus feel
justified in referring to the top square as “Sun
Absolute.”


• We name the bottom square “Kernel.” The
word choice indicates that this square (life
form) is inevitably foundational.


• Why is the diagram “stepped”?
THE STEP DIAGRAM
"According to this diagram every kind of creature, every
degree of being, is defined by what serves as food for this
kind of creature or being of a given level and for what they
themselves serve as food, because in the cosmic order each
class of creature feeds on a definite class of lower creature
and is food for a definite class of higher creatures."


"Each square denotes a level of being," he said. "The
'hydrogen' in the lower circle shows what the given class of
creatures feeds on. The 'hydrogen' in the upper circle shows
the class which feeds on these features. And the 'hydrogen'
in the middle circle is the average 'hydrogen' of this class
showing what these creatures are.
In Search of the Miraculous
"The place of man is the seventh square from the bottom or
the fifth square from the top. According to this diagram
man is 'hydrogen' 24, he feeds on 'hydrogen' 96, and is
himself food for 'hydrogen' 6. The square next below man
will be 'vertebrates'; the next 'invertebrates.' Invertebrates
are 'hydrogen' 96. Consequently man feeds on
'invertebrates.'


p322
THE LATERAL OCTAVE AND THE FOUR ELEMENTS
• Consider the lateral octave from the perspective
of the four states of matter and the laws that
apply.


• The four states of matter span everything from
the level of the Sun down to the Moon level of
the Moon.


• This strongly suggested that the “steps” in the
Step Diagram represented changes from one sate
of matter to another.


• It also suggested that the Step Diagram must
include the Lateral Octave from the Sun. This
proves to be the case.
THE LATERAL OCTAVE
• The Side Octave:


• do Archangels


• si Angels


• la Man


• sol Vertebrates


• fa Invertebrates


•
—
Plants


• mi Minerals


• re Metals


• do Kernel


• It is fa-sol-la (animal life) that fills the mi-fa interval in
The Ray of Creation


• Plants create the conditions of animal life, interacting
directly with the Sun. Animals cannot do so. The Sun
has to “go through plants” to influence animals.
FOUR ELEMENTS
• The number of orders of Laws that apply
are shown in the top corner.


• The being classes Minerals,
Invertebrates, Man (and also Archangels
and Kernel) bridge between two states
of matter.


• The being classes Metals, Plants,
Vertebrates and Angels are static. They
appear to have less possibility of
evolution.


• The mi-fa interval in the Ray of Creation
appears to be bridged by just one
element.
WHAT IT IS
• The Step Diagram shows the average hydrogen
of the psychic triple of the being. As such
normal Man is H24, (H12-H24-H48). However,
normal Man is rare.


• The class of Man takes in all humanity including
those who are primarily one or two-brained.
This is not an individual Man, it is humanity.


• Humanity is a different order of being than any
individual man, no matter who. It embodies the
highest possibility of Man.
WHAT IT EATS, IS EATEN BY
• Gurdjie
ff
never explained what he meant by
“eats/is eaten by” although he did
occasionally refer to “becoming food for
something higher.”


• He stated that this was not connected with
the feeding in the Food Diagram.


• As indicated in the Step Diagram, the
classes of beings in the step diagram cannot
be “eaten by” or “eat” adjacent classes.


•
Th
e Law of
Th
ree suggests the same. H24
can combine with (eat) H96 or combine
with (be eaten by) H6. But it cannot
combine either with H48 or H12.
THE “BEING” OF THE SIDE OCTAVE
•
Th
e spreadsheet fragment shown constructs a
triple octave within the Side Octave from the
Sun.


• In theory that octave creates a “being” of some
kind although it may be a “composite being”
such as a termite mound.


•
Th
e table suggests that such a “being” would
consume the elements of Earth, would breathe
the atmosphere of the Earth and use Man to
gather impressions.


• You may consider Man’s role here to be similar
to transmi
tt
ing information from the planets.
ADAM KADMON?
•
Th
is diagram spans the whole of the Step
Diagram, which in theory is an aspect of the
body of Adam Kadmon or Adam Ruhani.


•
Th
e chain of Hydrogens at the corners of
the step diagram, consuming each other in
some way could (in theory) make up the
“body of reason” of Adam Kadmon.


• Similarly the chain of Hydrogens that are
not at the corners could (in theory)
constitute the “essence” of Adam Kadmon.


• Humanity’s role in this is peripheral.


•
Th
is is an aspect of the Trogoautoegocrat.
STILL TO BE DISCUSSED
• The Element Earth


• The Element Water


• The Element Air


• The Element Fire


• Sun, Planets, Moons.


• A plasma cosmology.

THE DIAGRAM OF EVERYTHING LIVING • This is one of the most enigmatic of the diagrams found in In Search of the Miraculous. • It is usually referred to as the Diagram of Everything Living, but is also called the Step Diagram and was dubbed (poetically) The Hieroglyph of Life by J G Bennett. • This diagram relates only to our Earth’s Ray of Creation. It asserts that everything is alive. • This is slightly different to what is shown in In Search of the Miraculous. • Before we consider the nature of this diagram, we need to refresh our memories about the Lateral Octave from the Sun and the Law of Three in the Ray of Creation.
  • 5. THE LATERAL OCTAVE FROM THE SUN • The Ray of Creation cannot progress past the note fa. • Therefore the Sun sounds the note do of a lateral octave and this creates the conditions by which the interval can be filled. • The note si (under 48 laws) blends with the note fa of the Ray of Creation. The notes mi and re blend with mi of the Earth and re of the Moon respectively. • Organic life on Earth fills the interval between the planets and the Earth allowing influences from the planets to reach Earth. • Organic life on Earth also plays a role in respect of the growth of the Moon. It creates substances that feed the Moon, helping to create its atmosphere.
  • 6. THE LAW OF THREE IN THE RAY • The adjacent diagram provides deeper detail on the filling of the mi-fa interval by virtue of the Law of Three as it creates each of the worlds of the Ray of Creation. • Notice that the Galaxy (All Suns) must interact with planets in order to reach the Sun. This is about orbiting. • In the same way, the Planets have to go through Nature to interact with the Earth. Life forms a kind of skin over the Earth. • In the next triad, Organic life interacts with the Moon and Earth is neutralizing. It creates “atmosphere” which is eventually transmitted to the Moon.
  • 7. ORGANIC LIFE: A CONDUIT • Organic life is a transmitting station for the influence of the planets. • This means that a substance of the planets mixes with a substance of the Earth in a way that is mediated by organic life. • The result is a substance (knowledge perhaps) that serves the Earth. • Organic life is thus a transmitting station for influences that would otherwise never reach the Earth. • As the carrier of the neutralizing force it is unchanged by that action of the planets. Life is utterly unaware that it is doing this.
  • 8. ORGANIC LIFE: FOOD FOR THE MOON • Some substances of organic life mix with some substances of the Moon. The neutralizing force is the Earth. The result is that the Moon is fed. Humanity can be active or passive in this. • Most likely the Moon feeds on H96 (the energy of the immune system and also of false personality) and H48 (the energy of personality). • The evidence suggests that at death a splitting apart occurs (rascooarno) between essence and personality (and possibly also the body of reason). • The Earth, by its electrical and magnetic nature transports the “food” the Moon requires. The product of the interaction is the gradual creation of an atmosphere for the Moon.
  • 9. THE COSMIC CLASSIFICATION OF LIVING BEINGS … it is imperative that you should understand the principles of the classification and the definition of living beings from the cosmic point of view, from the point of view of their cosmic existence. In ordinary science classification is made according to external traits—bones, teeth, functions; mammals, vertebrates, rodents, and so on; in exact knowledge classification is made according to cosmic traits. As a matter of fact there are exact traits, identical for ever y­ thing living, which allows us to establish the class and the species of a given creature with the utmost exactitude, both in relation to other creatures as well as to its own place in the universe. "These traits are the traits of being. The cosmic level of being of every living creature is determined: "First of all by what this creature eats, 
 "Secondly by what it breathes, and 
 "Thirdly by the medium in which it lives. 
 "These are the three cosmic traits of being. p320 In Search of the Miraculous EXAMPLES Man: feeds on H768, breathes H192, lives in H192. Dog: feeds on H768 or H1536. Bee: feeds on a H192, but lives in an atmosphere that would be impossible for Man. Flour worm: feeds on fl our, feeds on H768 or H1536 (ro tt en fl our). It breathes H192 and lives in H1536. Fish: Feeds on H1536, breathes H192, lives in H384. Tree: Feeds on H1536, breathes H192 and H96, lives partly in H192 and partly in H3072 (soil). Th is is a general classi fi cation. If we consider subclasses of each Hydrogen then a far more detailed picture emerges.

  • 11. THE TROGOAUTOEGOCRAT • The Diagram of Everything Living shows a “splinter” of The Trogoautoegocrat — the specific splinter that involves Earth and Moon. • It depicts a series of life forms including some that we do not normally recognize as life forms. • Note that the Hydrogens in this diagram have been “stepped down” twice. We thus feel justified in referring to the top square as “Sun Absolute.” • We name the bottom square “Kernel.” The word choice indicates that this square (life form) is inevitably foundational. • Why is the diagram “stepped”?
  • 12. THE STEP DIAGRAM "According to this diagram every kind of creature, every degree of being, is defined by what serves as food for this kind of creature or being of a given level and for what they themselves serve as food, because in the cosmic order each class of creature feeds on a definite class of lower creature and is food for a definite class of higher creatures." "Each square denotes a level of being," he said. "The 'hydrogen' in the lower circle shows what the given class of creatures feeds on. The 'hydrogen' in the upper circle shows the class which feeds on these features. And the 'hydrogen' in the middle circle is the average 'hydrogen' of this class showing what these creatures are. In Search of the Miraculous "The place of man is the seventh square from the bottom or the fifth square from the top. According to this diagram man is 'hydrogen' 24, he feeds on 'hydrogen' 96, and is himself food for 'hydrogen' 6. The square next below man will be 'vertebrates'; the next 'invertebrates.' Invertebrates are 'hydrogen' 96. Consequently man feeds on 'invertebrates.' p322
  • 13. THE LATERAL OCTAVE AND THE FOUR ELEMENTS • Consider the lateral octave from the perspective of the four states of matter and the laws that apply. • The four states of matter span everything from the level of the Sun down to the Moon level of the Moon. • This strongly suggested that the “steps” in the Step Diagram represented changes from one sate of matter to another. • It also suggested that the Step Diagram must include the Lateral Octave from the Sun. This proves to be the case.
  • 14. THE LATERAL OCTAVE • The Side Octave: • do Archangels • si Angels • la Man • sol Vertebrates • fa Invertebrates • — Plants • mi Minerals • re Metals • do Kernel • It is fa-sol-la (animal life) that fills the mi-fa interval in The Ray of Creation • Plants create the conditions of animal life, interacting directly with the Sun. Animals cannot do so. The Sun has to “go through plants” to influence animals.
  • 15. FOUR ELEMENTS • The number of orders of Laws that apply are shown in the top corner. • The being classes Minerals, Invertebrates, Man (and also Archangels and Kernel) bridge between two states of matter. • The being classes Metals, Plants, Vertebrates and Angels are static. They appear to have less possibility of evolution. • The mi-fa interval in the Ray of Creation appears to be bridged by just one element.
  • 16. WHAT IT IS • The Step Diagram shows the average hydrogen of the psychic triple of the being. As such normal Man is H24, (H12-H24-H48). However, normal Man is rare. • The class of Man takes in all humanity including those who are primarily one or two-brained. This is not an individual Man, it is humanity. • Humanity is a different order of being than any individual man, no matter who. It embodies the highest possibility of Man.
  • 17. WHAT IT EATS, IS EATEN BY • Gurdjie ff never explained what he meant by “eats/is eaten by” although he did occasionally refer to “becoming food for something higher.” • He stated that this was not connected with the feeding in the Food Diagram. • As indicated in the Step Diagram, the classes of beings in the step diagram cannot be “eaten by” or “eat” adjacent classes. • Th e Law of Th ree suggests the same. H24 can combine with (eat) H96 or combine with (be eaten by) H6. But it cannot combine either with H48 or H12.
  • 18. THE “BEING” OF THE SIDE OCTAVE • Th e spreadsheet fragment shown constructs a triple octave within the Side Octave from the Sun. • In theory that octave creates a “being” of some kind although it may be a “composite being” such as a termite mound. • Th e table suggests that such a “being” would consume the elements of Earth, would breathe the atmosphere of the Earth and use Man to gather impressions. • You may consider Man’s role here to be similar to transmi tt ing information from the planets.
  • 19. ADAM KADMON? • Th is diagram spans the whole of the Step Diagram, which in theory is an aspect of the body of Adam Kadmon or Adam Ruhani. • Th e chain of Hydrogens at the corners of the step diagram, consuming each other in some way could (in theory) make up the “body of reason” of Adam Kadmon. • Similarly the chain of Hydrogens that are not at the corners could (in theory) constitute the “essence” of Adam Kadmon. • Humanity’s role in this is peripheral. • Th is is an aspect of the Trogoautoegocrat.
