In order that the reader of
Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson should have an "approximate representation,"
or fair idea, of the degree to which that function of being known as "the instinctive sensing of reality" has completely atrophied in three-brained-beings of the planet Earth,
Gurdjieff showed another reality in Chapter 17, the arch-absurd
which says that the sun neither lights nor heats in the way that we ordinarily understand it.

In other words, whatever he is saying, whether true or not, has reality at its base . . . . whatever that is . . . and lo and behold!,
notice that he says the basis
of reality for all things
existing is in terms of law
beginning with the two
fundamental sacred
laws of heptaparaparshinokh
and triamazikamno.

Gurdjieff already begins to
answer the question for us:
If the Sun neither lights
nor heats, then what? . . .
what are called
"Trogoautoegocratic
processes."
