Hi mrelectric91, I'll try to give my thoughts to your questions, someone with more knowledge may correct me please.

Reading Gnosis I am struggling to understand what general law implies about the universe. Is the universe indifferent, while moving against expectations triggers the general law to keep us in place.
indifferent think the word is not correct, I think rather the universe is aware of the general law, and this place a great school, and throughout there are a number of rules to follow and the universe being balanced consientemente everyone decides that face God wants to see.

Or is the universe inherently more malevolent, because of the fact that the general law is quietly waiting to enforce obstacles?
see above

Is the general law any different to programs, buffers they all seem to refer the maintenance of mechanicalness?
I think the programs, caps etc, but rather are part of the general law, see you start working on them, you have free albredio you would be sending the signal to the universe, and the change would come

Also how is this related to law of accident and exception?
once you start working on the development of self, that is, you are aware of the reality in which they live, makes the necessary changes presisamente to exit accident law (general), then you already would enter into another law which is the law of exceptions, but to enter this law exceptions need a good job.

Gurdjieff seemed to liken our fate frequently to 'dying like dogs', 'people pray their whole life but dies like dogs'.
Do people who are balanced enough to receive higher centres consciously still fall pray to this and why does general law obstruct people from reaching this state?
I think one see that the person has contact with his higher centers, leaving the general law, and enters the law exceptions, on the other hand, the words of Gurdjieff , "die like dogs", just look as is currently the humanity, to understand these words, however, I return to the same, if you are aware of this reality, its destiny, I would not be dying like dogs, there is a series of videos that Laura did, where is the question of how create your reality, explains that the direction taken our lives depend on the decisions we make every day.
If we are all here to learn, just might see the general law as a series of tests that must approve if you already passing these exams you are ready for the next level.
