 The Seven Bodies
The seven stages of human consciousness have traditionally been known as the "seven bodies." I would like to describe them as seven stages because I feel the evidence suggests that "bodies" three through seven are layers of consciousness in the physical human brain (see scans prove meditation alters the brain).
The third and fourth stages of consciousness are closely associated with the functions of the brain, just as the second body is closely associated with the function of the total physical body, including functions of the peripheral nervous system and internal organs.
Those students who primarily reside in the fourth stage have frequent excursions into the fifth level of consciousness, which is called a 'satori.' Even those in the third stage may sometimes jump up temporarily to the fifth stage for a glimpse of freedom.

The 6th stage is signified by an exclusive orientation to the Self apart froom phenomena.
So 6th stage language is oriented towards things like, "only the Self is true, the non-Self is an illusion, renounce illusions and abide in the Self instead." 6th stage descriptions of reality are opposed to perception and experience, not open to them.
Assuming the "seven stages" are real (and that's a dubious assumption), no real 7th stager would have a need to honor or confirm the exclusive "seven stage" model that Frank constructs for himself.

The ultimate symbol for Gurdjieff's worldview was the enneagram: a circle whose circumference is divided by nine points, yielding an uneven six-sided figure and a triangle.
