That is a modified version of the ancient Enneagram.
Allegedly from pre-sand Egypt, it was originally introduced to the west at the end of WWI by G. I. Gurdjieff (a mystic in his own right), and has been severely distorted in modern times, except within 'The Work'.
While the musical scale is another ancient symbology used to pass down esoteric knowledge, the Enneagram (properly understood) depicts universal movements, especially within man, in a fuller manner than the musical scale.
In the beginning, it isn't about numbers nearly as much as attention and Reality. Both of which are highly misconstrued these days.
