Theory of Eternal life...

When Mr. Ouspensky, perhaps
Mr. Gurdjieff's chief pupil died,
Rodney Collin his chauffeur and
follower, went into the bedroom
where Mr. Ouspensky had completed
his journey, and locked the door.

He stayed in there for a number of days
without food or water.
The other followers of Mr. Ouspensky
were furious that he did this, and banged
on the door, to get him to unlock it so that
they could also experience the energy
in the room, but Rodney Collin would
not come out or respond.

Finally after several days, they put a
ladder up to the window,  and found
Rodney Collin sitting on Mr. Ouspensky's
bed in only his underpants, in a child-like state.

There had been a communion between
his great teacher who had just passed to
another level, and the student who was
his closest and most devoted follower.

Out of that came this book:

Theory of Eternal Life

It was apparently written over three days,
and Rodney Collin always stated that he
did not write it, but indicated that he was
merely the channel through which this
great knowledge was transmitted.

He gives a clue in the book when he offers
some thoughts about the final months
of Mr. Ouspensky.
