According to David Allen Hulse two keys to unlocking Gurdjieff's
Enneagram are (1) the nine pointed star at the center of Lull's
system, which represented Cabalistic correspondences, and (2) the
Georgian alphabet, which is isosephic (each letter is also a
numeral). See "The Eastern Mysteries" by David Allen Hulse p.
208-221:

If the above link gets broken do a google book search on "The
Eastern Mysteries", the entire section on Gurdjieff and the
Enneagram can be read online.
