Earth Level
In George Gurdjieff's Fourth Way school of thought, Earth Level or Planet Level refers to the level of the ''Law of Forty-eight'' on the Ray of Creation, meaning that forty-eight laws govern it. It corresponds to the Gurdjieff hydrogen number 48 and the musical note ''mi''. Moon Level precedes it and All Planets Level follows it. See also * 48 (number) 48 (forty-eight) is the natural number following 47 and preceding 49. It is one third of a gross, or four dozens.

George Gurdjieff
George Ivanovich Gurdjieff (; rus, Гео́ргий Ива́нович Гурджи́ев, r=Geórgy Ivánovich Gurdzhíev, p=ɡʲɪˈorɡʲɪj ɪˈvanəvʲɪd͡ʑ ɡʊrd͡ʐˈʐɨ(j)ɪf; hy, Գեորգի Իվանովիչ Գյուրջիև; c. 1866–1877 – 29 October 1949) was an Armenian philosopher, mystic, spiritual teacher, and composer of Armenian and Greek descent, born in Alexandropol, Russian Empire (now Gyumri, Armenia). Gurdjieff taught that most humans do not possess a unified consciousness and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic "waking sleep", but that it is possible to awaken to a higher state of consciousness and achieve full human potential. Gurdjieff described a method attempting to do so, calling the discipline "The Work" (connoting "work on oneself") or "the System". According to his principles and instructions, Gurdjieff's method for awakening one's consciousness unites the methods of the fakir, monk and yogi, and thus he referred to it as the ...

Fourth Way
The Fourth Way is an approach to self-development developed by George Gurdjieff over years of travel in the East (c. 1890 – 1912). It combines and harmonizes what he saw as three established traditional "ways" or "schools": those of the body, the emotions, and the mind, or of fakirs, monks and yogis, respectively. Students often refer to the Fourth Way as "The Work", "Work on oneself", or "The System". The exact origins of some of Gurdjieff's teachings are unknown, but various sources have been suggested. The term "Fourth Way" was further used by his student P. D. Ouspensky in his lectures and writings. After Ouspensky's death, his students published a book entitled '' The Fourth Way'' based on his lectures. According to this system, the three traditional schools, or ways, "are permanent forms which have survived throughout history mostly unchanged, and are based on religion. Where schools of yogis, monks or fakirs exist, they are barely distinguishable from religious scho ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ray Of Creation
The Ray of Creation is an esoteric cosmology which was taught by G. I. Gurdjieff. It is a diagram which better represents the place which Earth occupies in the Universe. The diagram has eight levels, each corresponding to Gurdjieff's Law of Octaves (see ''In Search of the Miraculous'', chapter 7). Levels The first level is "The Absolute", followed by "All Worlds", "All Suns", "Sun", "All Planets", "Earth", "Moon", and "The Absolute": * The heaviest/last level - "The Absolute" * Earth's satellite - "The Moon" * Our planet - "Earth" * All of the planets in the solar system to which Earth belongs to - "All Planets" * The planets belong to the "Sun" or the solar system * The Sun belongs to the Milky Way galaxy or the "All Suns" combined * All galaxies put together belong to "All Worlds" * All Worlds form a final whole called "The Absolute" This lineage indicates and compares the construction of all of the levels, matters, and laws of the Universe, placing them in scale with one anot ...

Musical Note
In music, a note is the representation of a musical sound. Notes can represent the pitch and duration of a sound in musical notation. A note can also represent a pitch class. Notes are the building blocks of much written music: discretizations of musical phenomena that facilitate performance, comprehension, and analysis. The term ''note'' can be used in both generic and specific senses: one might say either "the piece ' Happy Birthday to You' begins with two notes having the same pitch", or "the piece begins with two repetitions of the same note". In the former case, one uses ''note'' to refer to a specific musical event; in the latter, one uses the term to refer to a class of events sharing the same pitch. (See also: Key signature names and translations.) Two notes with fundamental frequencies in a ratio equal to any integer power of two (e.g., half, twice, or four times) are perceived as very similar. Because of that, all notes with these kinds of relations can be grou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

48 (number)
48 (forty-eight) is the natural number following 47 and preceding 49. It is one third of a gross, or four dozens. In mathematics Forty-eight is the double factorial of 6, a highly composite number. Like all other multiples of 6, it is a semiperfect number. 48 is the second 17- gonal number. 48 is the smallest number with exactly ten divisors. There are 11 solutions to the equation φ(''x'') = 48, namely 65, 104, 105, 112, 130, 140, 144, 156, 168, 180 and 210. This is more than any integer below 48, making 48 a highly totient number. Since the greatest prime factor of 482 + 1 = 2305 is 461, which is clearly more than twice 48, 48 is a Størmer number. 48 is a Harshad number in base 10. It has 24, 2, 12, and 4 as factors.
