《天体影响理论》最早发表于1954年，是对宇宙和人类在其中地位的探索。作者罗德尼·柯林斯广泛借鉴了俄罗斯数学家、神秘主义者P·D·乌斯宾斯基和希腊-亚美尼亚神秘主义教师乔治·古尔吉耶夫的教诲，研究了20世纪的科学发现，并试图将天文学、物理学、化学、人类生理学和世界历史与他自己对行星影响的理解结合起来。他得出结论，一切背后的驱动力既不是生殖也不是生存，而是意识的扩展。柯林着手调和理性和想象力的头脑以及我们看待外部世界和内在自我的方式之间的巨大矛盾。
The Theory Of Celestial Influence: Man, The Universe, and Cosmic Mystery
Originally published in 1954, The Theory of Celestial Influence is an exploration of the universe and man’s place in it. Drawing extensively on the teachings of Russian mathematician and esotericist P. D. Ouspensky and Greek-Armenian Esoteric doctrine teacher George Gurdjieff, author Rodney Collins examines 20th century scientific discoveries and attempts to unite astronomy, physics, chemistry, human physiology and world history with his own version of planetary influences. He concludes that the driving force behind everything is neither procreation nor survival, but expansion of awareness. Collin sets out to reconcile the considerable contradictions of the rational and imaginative minds and of the ways we see the external world versus our inner selves.
