Serious students of George Gurdjieff understand the central nature of this issue. In his masterwork All and Everything, Gurdjieff or simply G. offers not only a detailed description of how the world (universe) was created and is maintained but why. Originally, the UniBeing (Creator Endlessness) existed in and operated under the former (AutoEgoCratic) system. This type of system, operating under the Second Fundamental Law maintains itself from within without any contact, interference or maintenance from without itself. A perpetual motion machine, fundamentally.
At some point the UCE realized that their realm was slowly but nevertheless continually eroding. The end result of which would be the extinction of their world and presumably everything in it. including it’s (not so) Endlessness. Hence the need for the creation of the TrogoAutoEgoCratic universe that we know. In this type of system the automatic flowing of the Law of Seven (Heptaparaparchinoch) no longer holds and two of the seven intervals or stopinders require input from outside. This input maintains and preserves the system.
This input that insulates the Holy Sun Absolute (HSA) from the inevitable flow of time (The Merciless Heropass) comes from the conscious efforts and intentional suffering of beings like humans (with a few notable exceptions).
In essence the explanation is that even the Creator of this Universe, subject as it is to the Second Law of Thermodynamics, is itself subject to the same law. And somehow, we, conscious beings are the (unwitting) maintainers of (our) Creator’s world.
After all, without the invention and deployment of the TrogoAutoEgoCrat we (organic beings) would not exist. Now it’s nice to know you are needed, but…
G. uses the metaphor of the musical scale to illustrate the 2nd Law (LO7). There are 7 notes in the scale, two of which are a “half” tone, the remaining 5, a full tone, (or two half-tones). It is at these half tones that and exterior kick, nudge or impulse is required for the process to go on in it’s natural evolution. The ‘natural’ evolution of all process in and of the world (Iranirumange).
However, and here I quote directly from A&A –
“And so, the further results of this Divine attention in respect of the mentioned Tetartocosmoses consisted in this, that during their serving as apparatuses for the most great cosmic Trogoautoegocrat, the possibility was obtained in them that from among the cosmic substances transformed through them, both for the needs of the Most Most Great common-cosmic Sacred Trogoautoegocrat, as well as for the supply of substances expended by them for the process of their own existence, and composed exclusively of cosmic crystallizations which are derived from the transformations of that planet itself on which the given Tetartocosmoses arose, such results began to be obtained in their common presences under the mentioned conditions as proceed from cosmic sources of a higher order and, consequently, composed of what are called vibrations of ‘greater vivifyingness.’
These “Tetartocosmoses” are miniatureized versions of the whole, cellular life that arises everywhere, and can evolve into
