The Theory of Celestial Influence

By Rodney Collin

Overview


“… As above, so below…” Hermes Trismegistus, The Emerald Tablet Rodney Collin explores in this text, man’s ‘relation to the universe’ as experienced by a ‘different kind of mind, in a different state of consciousness.’ Influenced by P.D. Ouspensky and G.I. Gurdjieff, promulgators of the esoteric doctrine the Fourth Way, Collin examines how modern scientific discoveries in diverse fields such as physics, human physiology, chemistry and astronomy can be united and reconciled with traditional esoteric teachings. The way we see ourselves and our place in the universe can only be realized ‘by a mind which had itself become unified;’ harmonizing the conflict between our rational and imaginative minds.

About The Author


Rodney Collin (April 26, 1909 – May 3, 1956) was a British writer in the field of spiritual development. His works were greatly influenced by his teacher, P. D. Ouspensky, who was the most prominent student of G. I. Gurdjieff and his system known as the "Fourth Way". When Collin met Ouspensky in his late twenty's, he immediately recognized that he had found a true path. From that point forward, he devoted his life to the studying and teaching of conscious development. Collin forged new connections between consciousness and many different fields of study, including astronomy, physics, chemistry, human physiology and history.
