Conscious Influence

Conscious Influence

In schools for conscious evolution, as in this school, it is the Teacher who receives and transmits conscious influence. As noted in Marie Michael’s post the source of conscious influence comes from higher mind, or as Rodney Collin described it, Higher School. The Teacher foreshortened the name of this connection to Higher School to C Influence, and often refers poetically to C Influence as Celestial Influence. Even though the Teacher has stated that C Influence is a clinical name for angels that circumvents religious associations with this particular word, higher centers are anything but a dry clinical experience.

One characteristic of C Influence is that it can only be transmitted personally, that is from the Teacher to the students and from students to each other and beyond. This means that the posts you read and the events we present that you attend, are all expressions of conscious influence.

The Teacher also instructs students how to recognize conscious influence. C Influence permeates the arts, politics, sciences, just as esoteric schools have, in almost every facet of human activity and existence throughout previous civilizations and cultures. The detail from Fra Angelico’s Last Judgement is how Fra Angelico perceived influence from higher school. Just as humanity bathes in the warmth of the Sun, so do our nascent higher centers warm and vivify themselves as it were, bathing in the conscious love of C Influence.

The hallmark of C Influence is when we are separate from the lower self and higher states of consciousness have ascended. C Influence lifts us above the lower self, and so it is that consciousness is both earned and bestowed. In relation to the lower self and C Influence, the Teacher offers us the following: “Behind lower self is the student. Behind the student is the School. Behind the School is the Teacher. Behind the Teacher is C Influence and behind C Influence is The Absolute.”
