Rodney Collin

Rodney Collin (April 26, 1909–May 3, 1956) was a British writer in the area of spiritual development. His work was heavily influenced by his teacher, P. D. Ouspensky, and through him, G. I. Gurdjieff. Collin’s output includes his magnum opus The Theory of Celestial Influence as well as The Mirror of Light, The Theory of Conscious Harmony and the Theory of Eternal Life.
