Direct parallel between Gurdjieff and a text.
<aside> 💡 Author’s Background: My background is in hacking. So I reverse engineer, deconstruct a text the same way I would break down a computer system. In the case of this specific work, my certainty on this parallel does not come from only the similarity between In Search of The Miraculous and this text, but also the profile of G, mannerisms of speech, and ‘keywords,’ namely those words which O would say “G emphasized this word,” as well as their context.
3 Forces, God-Essence-Personality, and the 9 points refer to a relatively unknown system.

Therefore, in order to draw near the Creator by one degree, the lowest one above our own properties, we must acquire the properties of that (lowest) degree. This means that our properties become similar to the properties of that degree, rather than remaining inferior to it. To acquire similar properties means to have the same desires. As soon as our desires coincide with the desires of that degree, its concealment fades, and we seemingly exist on it,
However, one cannot sense the Creator with just his heart, but only with a small point in it. And to feel this point, man must develop it himself. When one develops and expands this point, the sensation of the Creator, His Light, can enter it.
There are no secrets in the world. Man attains everything from his degree. Even in our world, in the process of his mental development, man attains new notions on every new degree. And whatever he considered a secret only yesterday now becomes clear and revealed before him.
But as soon as one acquires a screen and begins to perceive the spiritual world, he sees the secret becomes a reality. And this process continues until he completely attains the entire universe, all of the Creator’s secrets.
