The following is my speculation of how the cosmic laws of Law of Three and the Law of Seven fit together in the Law of One. The Law of One as articulated by an advanced united society who wished to be known as “Ra, An Humble Messenger of the Law of One*,” can be understood as the Law or Way of Wholeness, the Law or Way of Unity, the Law or Way of Fullness (Plenum), and perhaps, the Law or Way of Organism (referring to the work of A.N. Whitehead).
*The source of the Law of One material will be henceforth referred to as Those of Ra.

According to Gurdjieff, the enneagram is “the fundamental hieroglyph of a universal language.” The Enneagram itself is composed of three symbols.
First, there is the circle in which EVERYTHING is contained; it represents Oneness, Unity, God, the Absolute. This is the Law of One.
Here are some quotes from Those of Ra about their understanding of the cosmic law or way of one.
That which is infinite cannot be many, for many-ness is a finite concept. To have infinity you must identify or define that infinity as unity; otherwise, the term does not have any referent or meaning. In an Infinite Creator there is only unity. You have seen simple examples of unity. You have seen the prism which shows all colors stemming from the sunlight. This is a simplistic example of unity.
In truth there is no right or wrong. There is no polarity for all will be, as you would say, reconciled at some point in your dance through the mind/body/spirit complex which you amuse yourself by distorting in various ways at this time. This distortion is not in any case necessary. It is chosen by each of you as an alternative to understanding the complete unity of thought which binds all things. You are not speaking of similar or somewhat like entities or things. You are every thing, every being, every emotion, every event, every situation. You are unity. You are infinity. You are love/light, light/love. You are. This is the Law of One.
—Law of One, Session 1, Question 7
[…] in the simplest iota of this complex exists in its entirety the One Infinite Creator […]
–Law of One, Session 30, Question 1
I am Ra. There is no difference, potential or kinetic, in unity. The basic rhythms of intelligent infinity are totally without distortion of any kind. The rhythms are clothed in mystery, for they are being itself. From this undistorted unity, however, appears a potential in relation to intelligent energy.
–Law of One, Session 27, Question 7
Let us remember that we are all one. This is the great learning/teaching. In this unity lies love. This is a great learn/teaching. In this unity lies light. This is the fundamental teaching of all planes of existence in materialization. Unity, love, light, and joy; this is the heart of evolution of the spirit (52.11).
—Law of One, Session 52, Question 11
I am Ra.
Exercise One. This is the most nearly centered and usable within your illusion complex. The moment contains love. That is the lesson/goal of this illusion or density. The exercise is to consciously seek that love in awareness and understanding distortions. The first attempt is the cornerstone. Upon this choosing rests the remainder of the life-experience of an entity. The second seeking of love within the moment begins the addition. The third seeking powers the second, the fourth powering or doubling the third. As with the previous type of empowerment, there will be some loss of power due to flaws within the seeking in the distortion of insincerity. However, the conscious statement of self to self of the desire to seek love is so central an act of will that, as before, the loss of power due to this friction is inconsequential.
Exercise Two. The universe is one being. When a mind/body/spirit complex views another mind/body/spirit complex, see the Creator. This is an helpful exercise.
Exercise Three. Gaze within a mirror. See the Creator.
Exercise Four. Gaze at the creation which lies about the mind/body/spirit complex of each entity. See the Creator.
The foundation or prerequisite of these exercises is a predilection towards what may be called meditation, contemplation, or prayer. With this attitude, these exercises can be processed. Without it, the data will not sink down into the roots of the tree of mind, thus enabling and ennobling the body and touching the spirit.
–Law of One, Session 10, Question 14
Second, within the circle there is a triangle; it represents three independent forces present in every whole phenomenon.
Third Symbol in the Enneagram is the Hexagram representing the first fundamental law of the Universe.
Position 2:
- Seeker calls for God’s aid
- God responds in some way
- Seeker and God seeker begin dialoging
- Seeker sets goals
- Begins to learn about cosmic laws (nature of spiritual evolution)
- Sets out on the path
- Feels Faith, Hope, and Trust
- Makes Behavioral changes
- Forward momentum.
- Catalyst is given which feels shocking
- Feels like something is done to the Seeker by external forces
- Metaphysical process helps the Seeker clarify goals in the face of a conflict
……..
In the face of the shock (catalyst):
A. Seeker calls for aid.
B. God feels absent.
C. Seeker feels “crucified” upon their cross due to feeling powerless, naked, hurt, scared, confused, overwhelmed, and vulnerable.
In the face of the shock (catalyst):
Path 1:
Moves forward and upward into green-ray energy center (heart chakra)
- Seeker responds anyway by choosing to not react in the usual way.
- Seeker chooses to trust that something good is happening.
- Seeker allows the catalyst to be as it is,
- Seeker accepts the self and others as they are, and
- Seeker declares: “I DESIRE TO CONTINUE, AND I HAVE FAITH THAT I AM SUPPOSED TO KEEP GOING!”
–OR–
Path 2:
Moves onward in the same consciousness level.
- Seeker reacts to the catalyst in the “usual” way.
- The journey will continue but it will be a path of transmission of the same consciousness that the seeker had at position 9. It will not be a journey of transformation
The Seeker is getting more settled into living at a wholehearted level in position 5. At position 6, the Seeker finds themselves in a life-situation where there might be several seemingly good things to choose from, but choose they must! Unlike in position 3, the passive shock where the Seeker experienced something done to them, in position 6, the Seeker does something to the external world through action. Indeed, the Seeker must incarnate their understanding of love into the world through embodied loving service. The metaphysical reason for the second shock—the active shock at position 6—is to strengthen the Seeker’s will and faith in order to prepare them for what comes next: teaching
If the Seeker does not put into practice some kind of embodied loving service, then they “slide down” into the original bandwidth of consciousness towards the lower position 7 and will experience a diminishment in the capacity to maintain an open heart in the midst of difficult catalysts. In fact, it is quite possible that whatever was gained in green-ray activationinpositions 4 and 5, is converted into the opposite of love and understanding. Bitterness, scorn, great confusion, cynicality, depression, and feelings of powerlessness may emerge. We see this phenomenon high lighted in the Christian scripture and in the Law of One material.
The Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30)
14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[a] and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents,[b] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master’s money. 19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.[c] You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
Law of One Material
Those of the Ra group: “The general cause of service […] is that of the primal distortion of the Law of One, which is service. The One Being of the creation is like unto a body, if you will accept this third-density analogy. Would we ignore a pain in the leg? A bruise upon the skin? A cut which is festering? No. There is no ignoring a call. We, the entities of sorrow, choose as our service the attempt to heal the sorrow which we are calling analogous to the pains of a physical body complex distortion.” [Law of One material, Session 14.18]
“[…] The lessening of the life span was due primarily to the lack of the building up of positive orientation. When there is no progress, those conditions which grant progress are gradually lost. This is one of the difficulties of remaining unpolarized. The chances, shall we say, of progress become steadily less.” (Law of One material, Session 20.17)
”By the end of the second cycle, the Law of Responsibility had begun to be effectuated by the increasing ability of entities to grasp those lessons which there are to be learned in this density. Thus, entities had discovered many ways to indicate a bellicose nature, not only as tribes or what you call nations but in personal relationships, each with the other, the concept of barter having given way in many cases to the concept of money; also, the concept of ownership having won ascendancy over the concept of non-ownership on an individual or group basis. Each entity then was offered many more subtle ways of demonstrating either service towards others or service to self with the distortion of the manipulation of others. As each lesson was understood, those lessons of sharing, of giving, of receiving in free gratitude— each lesson could be rejected in practice. Without demonstrating the fruits of such learn/teaching the life span became greatly reduced, for the ways of honor/duty were not being accepted” [Law of One material, Session 22.5].
The dust from the active shock at point 6 is settling for the Seeker at point 7. The Seeker operates from a new foundational seat of consciousness: the heart chakra (green-ray center). All that the seeker understands of love (green-ray energy) is now put into practice—incarnated and embedded in spacetime—through actions. Thus, the (newly activated) green-ray seeker opens the blue-ray center (the throat chakra) and communicates (incarnates) the love into loving service. This loving service may take the form of forgiving the self or another, of restitution of some sort, or even of setting assertive boundaries with another (or ourselves).
In position 8, the Seeker has stabilized their seat of conscious awareness within blue-ray energy. Their yes means yes and their no means no (Matthew 5:37, Law of One Session 48.7). To others, the blue-ray activated third-density entity may seem both otherworldly and profoundly embodied in this world. When the teacher is ready, the student appears—and this is what occurs at position 8 for the Seeker. Others are drawn by circumstances to the one who embodies greater wholeness like moths to a flame. There is a luminosity of wholeness that acts like spiritual gravity, thus seekers whose energy-signature of seeking matches the luminosity of the teacher, the means of matching teacher and student together arise serendipitously.
