Notes on the Law of Heptaparaparshinokh: Part I: It's Too Complicated

The search for a path through life

Photo: The sun on Jan. 1. There was a spectacular x-class solar flare on Dec. 31, emitted by the area seen as a very bright spot on the left side of the sun, and a coronal mass ejection is likely to hit the planet today.

I wrote this essay on Dec. 30 & 31 after some conversations with David (interviewed in the Idiots and Fools podcast earlier this week) and thought, “well, maybe I won’t publish it.” Hmmm.

After reading the most recent essay at the Journal of Gurdjieff Studies (a recommended publication) this morning, however, I realize that some of the questions it examines are, so to speak, currently “in the air” at this time and thus justify an in-the-moment-addition to the every-three-days publication schedule.

It’s Too Complicated

In chapter 40 of Beelzebub’s Tales, Hassein points out that the law of Heptaparaparshinokh is complicated and difficult to understand… especially for creatures like human beings, who have no objective reason.

Objective reason or not, no surprises there, perhaps; the word itself is complicated, opaque, and difficult to understand.

Yet the chapter has some clear and specific implications that can be understood given certain insights into the cosmological nature of emanation, and the way it affects our planet.

Some years ago, in the course of various inner developments, it became apparent to me that I had strangely developed a natural, organic ability to sense events taking place on the sun. For some years now, I’ve thus been able to accurately sense more or less precisely when a sunspot has emitted a solar flare without recourse to astronomical equipment. My ability to do this is unerring, because I invariably feel the effects of solar events directly in my body through sensation.

Now, this is admittedly a bit of a weird thing to report, but it has been verified so many times I see it as a normal part of life, despite the fact that many people may think I am a whack job for reporting such things. It’s on the order of the :”fairy lights” I frequently see which were investigated at great length by the top eye doctors in New York (and, perhaps, the world. I have very good connections in this field.)

Good news—! There is, in sum, according to the very good doctors nothing whatsoever wrong with my eyes; but I can see fairies. The fact that it is almost certainly Cosmic Visual Ray Phenomena, which only astronauts outside the electromagnetic shield of the earth ought to be able to see and sense… well, never mind.

It’s still fairies.

OK, So we’ve established it. I’m a whack job. This is not exactly breaking news.

Proceed, if you dare. But doing not abandon all hope, ye who enter here. Only give up as much as you can spare for the time being.
