The theory of conscious harmony, from the letters of Rodney Collin

The theory of conscious harmony from the letters of Rodney Collin

Rodney Collin studied under Ouspensky from 1936 until 1947. He went to Mexico in 1948 and formed a group to study and practice the Work, the system of esoteric teaching given by Gurdjieff and Ouspensky. He died in 1956 while on a visit to Peru.

Between 1944 and 1956 Rodney Collin was corresponding with many people who were trying to gain an increased understanding of the Work. He retained copies of these letters, which form the contents of this book.

The letters are not reprinted in full. Quotations have been extracted, omitting names and references to personal situations, and grouped into appropriate subjects, as follows:

Being - Conscience - The Influence of Conscious - Manhood and Womanhood - Knowledge - Understanding - Imagination - Different 'I's - Contradictions - Separation of the Real and the False - Acceptance - Positive Attitude - Invisibility - Attention - Requirements and circumstances - Self-remembering - Other People - Correcting Mistakes - The influence of Conscious Men - Time - Heart - Prayer - Higher States - Body, Soul and Spirit - Traces of School - Different Ways - Religion - Hierarchy - Harmony - The Work - Kairos, Chronos and Crossroads - Suffering - Death - The New Beginning

Mr Collin realised that, while attached to his teacher for and through all time, he must reconstruct in himself what Mr Ouspensky had given him and thereafter take the responsibility of expressing it according to his own understanding
