“The Theory Of Celestial Influence: Man, The Universe, and Cosmic Mystery” by Rodney Collin

"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.

In these pages, the reader will also encounter strange mists that seem to have an anti-gravity effect, missing time associated with fog encounters and even teleportation of persons...>>

Now the symbol of a coin or token is a sigil. The blockchain is an astral plane or the World Tree or the runescript of reality. The acts of buying, selling, and trading become spellcasting when you empower such actions with desire and your magical will. Currencies can become gods or egregores with which you can interact, through meditation or simple transactional activity. Your digital wallet becomes a personal altar and the public digital exchanges become a variety of sacred temples. If you are...>>
