THE EXTERNALIZATION OF HIERARCHY
The Great Invocation - Stanza One
Let the Forces of Light bring
illumination to all mankind.
Let the Spirit of Peace be spread
abroad.
May men of goodwill everywhere meet
in a spirit of cooperation.
May forgiveness on the part of all
men be the keynote at this time.
Let power attend the efforts of the
Great Ones.
So let it be and help us to do our
part.
After WWII, when
Eleanor Roosevelt recited the Great Invocation before the world, which is still
recorded, Hierarchy changed the above stanza to read as follows:
THE GREAT INVOCATION
From the point of Light
within the Mind of God,
Let Light stream forth into the
minds of men,
May light descend on Earth
Let us see now what
the Master D. K. explains about the Great Invocation that Christ recited before
the Grand Council after WWII.
THE GREAT INVOCATION (AS GIVEN
TODAY)
From the point of Light within the
Mind of God,
Let Light stream forth into the
minds of men,
Let Light descend on
earth.
From the point of Love within the
Heart of God,
Let Love stream forth into the
hearts of men,
May Christ return to Earth
From the center where the Will of
God is known,
Let purpose guide the little Minds
of men,
The purpose that the Masters know
and serve,
From the center which we call the
Race of Men,
Let the Plan of Love and Light work
out,
And may it seal the door where evil
dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power
Restore the Plan on Earth

D.K. begins this chapter by explaining the occult significance of this Great Invocation so that His students would say the formula with great force and concentration - also with more comprehension of the significance of the "formula" contained within these powerful words. He did this so that His students would understand that within that very Invocation was a formula for bringing Light and Love and Power into the atmosphere of Earth.
The reason Master D. K. spent so much time explaining the power of such Invocations (for there were many mantras that were in use at that time by disciples), was that although the students would recite the mantras, they didn't understand the powerful energy the words held in the mantas. The students work wasn't accomplishing the real power these very words held within the Invocation. He made it clear that most students didn't realize that they had to do the mantra with the full power, love and light within their beings from the Group Soul Level of consciousness, in order for the Light and Love and Power to penetrate the darkness upon the Earth. This chapter, in two parts, will give the full explanation for our greater understanding of the use of this and/or any formula of power given to us by Hierarchy.
The first thing that He explained was that these words of power will not work unless they come from the mental plane with the power of a fully controlled mind. This must be done with focused intent and understanding of the power issuing forth from these very words. This is the only way in which the Invocation will do its intended work in spreading the light in all areas of darkness. I see this Invocation coming from the "mind of God" spreading the Light into the minds of mankind everywhere upon the planet, and it doesn't matter if they are children of light who haven't awakened as yet. It especially needs to be sent into the minds of all those who are caught up in aligning themselves with the Forces of Darkness - many times unconsciously, thinking they are helping mankind, when in reality they are blocking the incoming light.
Now listen to His
words concerning the direction of these words:
"When said with the
power of the soul as well as with the directed attention of the mind, they
automatically become dynamically effective"...
The above statement is
absolutely correct. If you are not using your consecrated heart and the full
attention of your mind (with visualization), you are wasting your time and
effort. Master D. K. goes on to say the following concerning His students:
"Students all the world over have for years used the Sacred Word and have sounded the O.M. with great diligence. I would like here to ask: With what results? I, myself will reply. With practically no results except a slight stimulation of the aspiration and a small awakening of the creative imagination. This means that the results achieved have had effect only within the aura of the person concerned and have not penetrated into his environment or produced any recognizable effects. The O. M. has a potent and dynamically effective when rightly used and will produce changes, destroy that which must be eliminated or ended, and will build in, by attraction and consolidation that which is desired into the fabric of the group life, producing incidentally (though none the less certainly) needed changes and the wise reconstruction of the individual life. PONDER ON THIS!
Think about His words and how the word O. M. can change the very fabric of the group life.

Bookmark this mantra and take it anywhere you go. This powerful, dynamic force of energy, along with your own voice, is a powerful tool used for breaking up certain force-fields of darkness and at the same time increasing the light, love and power within your group. Then Master D. K. continued to explain that knowing the truth of the O. M. as a powerful mantra, it is infinitely more true of the Great Invocation. You can put both of these mantras on your devices and listen in your car and "voila" you have a dynamic, powerful tool to accompany with your added voice - coming from the soul as well as with the directed attention of the mind, they automatically become dynamically effective. There's absolutely no excuse today - with access to social media, YouTube and Facebook - in using any and/or all of them as our tools. If you add to these tools and the mantras from Adonis' websites, (given to you in the last lesson = Lesson 166), then my brothers and sisters, you have a treasure house of dynamic power that can be done (with earphones) anywhere: sitting in the car, driving in the car, at the park, at the beach, at home, in an airplane.
There are multiple possibilities for spreading the light, but you must remember before you begin any prayer and/or mantra, to prepare yourselves by aligning your mental, emotional and physical bodies into a stream of light and then attaching that light to the Heart Chakra, the Throat Chakra and all 7 centers within the Head. Once you've prepared yourselves, then call upon the Angel of the Presence, your soul, as you begin your mantras. When you finish, recite 108 A. U. M.s to complete the circle of light. don't forget to connect at the "soul level" with all of your group(s): The World Service, Triangles, Twelves and the New Group of World Servers around the entire world. If done specifically as He directs you, at the soul level, and with dynamic and forceful mental intent while visualizing the light pouring out of the mind of God and out of the Heart of God to all of mankind, you will be truly acting as a dynamic powerhouse as well as a bridge between Hierarchy and Humanity.

Master D. K. also states:
These mantras are intended for soul use because the soul is the expression of the second aspect of divinity, and only the soul can really employ these Words and sounds and thus produce the desired results which are always in line with the Divine Plan. It is frequently forgotten that they must be used by the soul in a dynamic manner, involving the serious recognition of the "will aspect". THE GREAT INVOCATION, THE O M. AND ALL SUCH WORDS OF POWER MUST GO FORTH FROM THE SOUL (WHOSE NATURE IS LOVE AND WHOSE PURPOSE IS SOLELY GROUP GOOD), BACKED BY OR "OCCULTLY PROPELLED FORTH”… BY THE DYNAMIC WILL ASPECT, AND CARRIED OUTWARDS AS AN INTEGRATED THOUGHTFORM UPON A STREAM OF LIVING, ILLUMINED MENTAL SUBSTANCE. THIS PROCESS THEREFORE BRINGS INTO ACTIVITY THE WILL, THE LOVE AND THE INTELLIGENCE OF THE MAN WHO IS USING THESE WORDS AND FORMULAS… pg. 145 YET, EVEN THOUGH THE STUDENT SAYS THE MANTRAS WITH DYNAMIC FORCE ETC. HE STILL IS UNABLE TO SEND THIS POWERFUL FORMULA OUT INTO THE EARTHY PLANE BECAUSE HIS LOWER MIND IS NOT EQUIPPED TO DO BOTH ACTIVITIES AT THE SAME TIME.
He continues to
explain that both these activities must be carried out simultaneously by the
SOUL on its own plane, through the medium of both the MIND and BRAIN. This
can only be accomplished, according to the Master, by one who has a developed
and trained integration between the soul and mind, desire, brain and the spoken
Word or sound. He also explains that this
same activity must be also carried out on a daily basis by all students whenever
using the Sacred Word. Master D. K. states:
This formula is so potent that an aspirant or disciple can actually change their lives, reorient their life purpose and focus, and achieve spiritual unfoldment and expansion if they could use the O. M. as it should be used. The Great Invocation, rightly used…could reorient the consciousness of humanity, stabilize men in spiritual being, disrupt and rebuild the planetary thought-form which men have created in the past and which has had(and is having) such disastrous and cataclysmic results, and open the door into the New Age, thus ushering in the new and better civilization. Can you imagine, just by doing these 2 mantras correctly what a group soul can do in all areas of life on our planet?
He did add that just
by the use (although not as dynamic as Hierarchy expected) of these two mantras,
they have materially hastened world
events, …and stirred up a great deal of trouble… brought
forth upon the physical plane. The
basically selfish purpose (even if unrecognized) of those who have used the
Great Invocation has served to stimulate the selfish purposes of the force of
materialism (Dark Forces) - and then He asks His
students:
How many used the Great Invocation as a purely detached, spiritually potent and fully understanding manner? The merest handful. How many sent forth the Great Invocation in the spirit of pure love and with a completely unbiased attitude? Very few indeed. How many sounded it out through the medium of a controlled mind, with a recognition and deep belief that it embodied the will of the Planetary Logos and must, therefore, become dynamically effective upon the physical plane? Hardly more than a tiny handful. Most of those who used it were intrigued by its novelty, or felt it to be comprehensive though in an unrealizable manner, or considered it must be occultly effective because they heard that it emanated from a member of the Hierarchy, was used by the occult Hierarchy of the planet, and was endorsed by those they trusted, or because - foremost reason of all - anything that could make the world nicer, more comfortable, happier, and provide eventually easier living conditions must be at least tried; it did not take long to say and was probably well worth doing. But the dynamic power behind the effort in individual cases has often been personal self-interest, distress at the existing terrible and unhappy world conditions and an emotional reaction at pain and horror and fear. In many ways, this has been a normal reaction to world tension and was to be expected. The standard that I have indicated above is, I well know, too high and too impossible for the average aspirant, and most people are average. But the world need is such that they must now swing out of the normal and, for the sake of service, heighten their consciousness and work more definitely from a higher plane of awareness. Pgs. 146-147
Even if the Masters understood what the average person was experiencing during this terrible crisis upon the earth at that time, They still expected their students (aspirants and disciples) to step up to the plate and stop self-serving whether out of fear or pain; but again, the old saying from St. Germain "Be an observer, do not get involved in anything that is being acted out upon the stage of life".
He went on to state that if a student is ever to move forward on the evolutionary path, … that for the purpose of developing human will and human freedom of action, motivated by group consciousness, the Hierarchy chooses to produce the desired unfoldments and changes upon the physical plane only through the medium of a conscious and awakened humanity. If Hierarchy was and is expected to produce that unfoldment of the dynamic changes upon the physical plane, then the students (Their only reliable source of receiver and transmitters) must also do their part. That very humanity will be awakened at that time through their pain and suffering - and would be guided and directed by the input from their Elder Brothers of the race. Also, they could refuse to listen to Hierarchy and continue on as their free wills dictated. Remember, Hierarchy can only suggest and place thought-forms into the minds of those intellectuals who are spiritually awakened. It is these individuals that must carry forth the information being received from the Great Ones - Humanity is always free to choose what they want to accomplish, for Hierarchy has no intention of placing any control upon any human being whether the common man or Their students.
Again, it always falls back to "true meditation" and how effective an individual works at developing their minds - then, the Great Invocation can be given with the concentration and dedication that is working from Group Soul awareness as the first activity followed by the "breathing forth" into the earthly plane. The student, trained as a true Observer, must look for its results in their own individual lives.
Now Master D. K. begins to explain about the significance of both the process and method of Invocation:
What the Master really needed at that time and this still applies today, is stalwart aspirants and disciples who were willing and can use the "Great Invocation" according to Hierarchy's demands.
Much has been written in the past by the curious investigator and by those engaged in magical work of any kind anent the use of invocation as it applies to elemental forces and subhuman agents, with the consequent evocation of active agents and responsible energies of some kind or another upon the physical plane. …this process consists entirely of the production of contact and subsequent control of the forces of earth, water, fire and air. This is one of the aims of the magical workers but it concerns material nature and the control of substance and, in the realm of the lower occultism, is allied to the invocation and evocation of money, good health and tangible material results as practiced in the realm of mysticism by many schools of thought. NOTE THIS for it holds a clue to the relation of occultism and mysticism upon the lower levels of consciousness and indicates the need of both groups to shift their focus of interest and their emphasis on to the higher and more spiritual values. The control of the natural forces and the evocation of the desired material rewards will arrive normally and inevitably but as secondary effects; they will depend upon the karma or destiny of man recognized and considered, and the man will escape the danger of being himself controlled and motivated by the forces of materialism, letting in - as this condition must - much that is evil and dangerous. pgs. 148-149
The above paragraph is important as many people do practice this form of invocation for self-gain-the most notable of those individuals who work from the solar plexus chakra, and invoke the elementals of Earth, Air, Water and Fire for their own material gain. As Sons and Daughters of the Most High God, there is no way that we would invoke an elemental, and/or animal to do our bidding. This takes us immediately out of the realm of Soul Consciousness to the world of Dark Forces - it's like playing with fire - yes, according to the individual's karma, material gain in many cases will happen, but what price does one want to pay for wealth and abundance? To bring into their auras the very Dark Forces that all light bearers work to bring into light and illumination forever.
As an aspirant and/or a disciple working directly under Hierarchy and invoking the elementals to help heal the earth, the planet and the atmosphere of the earth, and, at the same time, working as a group soul - invoking of light and love and power will bring forth the Divine Plan for our Earth - then you are working with the elementals and earthly forces to maintain the very planet and its people through right invocation, right action and a concentrated heart. Then, and only then are you working under the Planetary Logos, the Spiritual Hierarchy and our Father/Mother God carrying out the Divine Plan for the Earth while doing God’s Holy Will.
The invocation, evocation and resultant activity of the Hierarchy and of the Forces, Energies and Beings Who are not controlled by matter in any way, or by substance (the lower pole of manifestation**) but Who are related to the positive spiritual pole is a new activity, and as yet relatively an untried experiment on the part of humanity and the formulas unknown.
**Apparently, these are forces of enlightenment who work behind the scenes with Hierarchy in prompting those in humanity who are high intellects and spiritually minded. These Forces can come from other planets (like the Pleiades, Alcyone, Sirius or Orion’s Belt – all highly qualified to help humanity especially in those times when the world is crying out against the evil that causes much of humanity great pain and sorrow. Remember, the formula for bringing The Great Invocation is: 1. Working as one group soul; 2. all those who live, work, think and feel as souls – again, must be at the soul-level of group consciousness. Today, in our World Service we call upon these very Enlightened Forces seen above to work with us as we Reverse the Tide on the Evil and Dark Forces preying continually upon humanity.
He also mentions that at the time of His dictating the contents of this book to Alice Bailey, there were great souls among humanity already working and responding to world affairs; and that these were the individuals that could be trained to work with Hierarchy upon the Earthly plane. Only with these individuals could the words of the Great Invocation bring about the fusing of Hierarchy and Humanity, including direct contact with Shamballa. P. 149
Again, these Forces are interplanetary, solar and also great cosmic Energies. Once those highly spiritual and intellectual individuals were trained, it was possible for them to make contact with these powerful energies, and only those who are selfless and detached can be trusted with these very polar vibrations. It is these very forces that once are invoked can not only force the efforts of the Great White Lodge, but they will also help bring about the new world religion. Again, D.K. explains that it is not controlling these elemental forces, but by working from the soul level, individuals are invoking those spiritual forces who work with the Hierarchy as divine embodied Energies, while Hierarchy is their intermediary. These very Enlightened Forces of the subjective life, which at present we cannot see, will eventually be revealed to us. Let’s look at the threefold objectives of the processes of invocation:
1. To invoke the soul of humanity and so bring
about its freer expression upon the physical plane. This can be brought about in two ways.
a. The stimulation of the souls of men
everywhere by the increased inflow of the Christ principle of love, which will
express itself in world understanding, goodwill, cooperation and peace.
b. The setting up of a vibration within humanity itself of such potency that it will magnetically attract a response from the waiting, watching Hierarchy and bring about a much closer and likewise conscious rapport between the two planetary centers, the Hierarchy and Humanity.
This is called the invocation of the Great White Lodge. Much of this invocation of the Christ principle is carried forward by true believers in all lands (Christian and non-Christian) who address themselves to the Christ, no matter under what name they recognize Him and then, with love in their hearts to Him and their fellowmen, seek to ameliorate world conditions, end hatred and misery, and demonstrate goodwill everywhere. This refers to the first stage of evoking the response to love and understanding in human hearts and minds as the result of the invocation of the Christ and the Christ principle. PONDER ON THESE WORDS AND SEE ON EVERY HAND THE PROCESS GOING FORWARD!
He also states in the same paragraph: Esoteric and occult students demonstrate almost unavoidably a divided focus, owing to the activity of the mind and their failure as yet to blend perfectly both soul and personality. This leads to the dissipation of energy and oft renders their good intend futile. But, out of these groups are rapidly emerging those who can work in the right way and the results will be increasingly effective.
The evocation of the Hierarchy through right invocation is proceeding also rapidly, producing much activity and response from the Hierarchy of Light. Pg. 150-151
Here again we see that many among mankind through the pain and suffering occurring at that time were pleading with the Christ (by whatever name they called him) from their hearts. This plea made a direct beeline to Hierarchy because they were all praying directly from the heart rather than splitting hairs and working from both mind and heart like many of the disciples and aspirants were doing – this was mostly because they were unable to “blend both the heart and soul” and remain observers and hadn’t quite reached that level of awareness as yet. The good news that came out of this particular experiment (using the Enlightened Forces, training certain disciples and aspirants and the heartfelt prayers from a suffering humanity) were all combined to bring forth a rapid response from Hierarchy. So let us see the second way in which to invoke the soul of humanity according to Hierarchy:
2. To set up a closer relation with the third, major divine center on our planet, Shamballa. From that center, the will of God goes forth and the power of God becomes the messenger of His will. Hitherto that highest form of spiritual energy has only reached humanity (as I have before told you) via the Hierarchy. Today, it is deemed desirable that it should be ascertained whether there are enough selfless and group-conscious people upon the planet to warrant a direct inflow of that higher energy to humanity, thus producing upon the physical plane a hastening of the divine plan and a more rapid working out of that which is to be. This direct contact can be used if the Great Invocation is used by the world aspirants and disciples in collaboration with the Hierarchy. Hence the emphasis I have laid upon all of you using this Great Invocation as souls and as those who are in touch in some small measure with the Hierarchy. When the note of humanity and the note of the Hierarchy are synchronized by the use of the Great Invocation, there will come a dynamic and immediate response from Shamballa, and that will rapidly take place which the Hierarchy and the world disciples desire to see. Pgs. 151-152
The experiment must have worked because at some point towards the end of WWII, Shamballa forces came forth and brought about the end of the war, the persecutions and the evil that raged all around those who were under Hitler and his regime at that time. Note, that D. K. continually brings up the importance of meditation, having a connection with the soul and aligning every soul together within a group – this was the formula used to fuse Hierarchy Shamballa and Humanity at that time during WWII. He also stated, that never before had Shamballa forces worked within our planet except through Hierarchy. Today, because of the expansion of consciousness through “group souls” everywhere on the planet, there is now an opportunity for those who are stalwart disciples and aspirants to receive direct contact with Shamballa, as we draw ever closer to the Externalization of the Hierarchy, the Reappearance of the Christ and the lower of the New Jerusalem into the atmosphere of Earth.
The warning D. K. also gave us is the fact that the potency of The Great Invocation and its correct use brought about an acceleration, which in turn, brought about its own risks, which also resulted in the many problems cropping up and happening to many of the aspirants and disciples in the world.
D. K. states: They are by this process learning the work of “world salvage” and becoming gradually fitted for the post of “world saviors” and be the absorbers of evil karma. The war and suffering of the twenty-five year period from WWI to WWII is a direct result of the effects of past karma. While the suffering and pain of the aspirants and disciples are conscious of this karma and its results in all three vehicles simultaneously – in the mind as well as in the emotional body with resultant physical reactions. He also added here that while the world is absorbing all this pain and suffering in the personality, the aspirant and disciple by training, can tune in and absorb world pain, world reactions and world conditions, thereby greatly increasing that which they may have individually to bear. The capacity to shoulder and register group pain as well as to bear his own personal karma greatly aggravates the disciple’s task.
When therefore, I call the world aspirants and disciples to the use of the Great Invocation, I call them also to the “fellowship of Christ’s sufferings”; this is ever preliminary to the resurrection or to the release of the human consciousness into higher realms of spiritual awareness. The Forces which are contacted by the use of this Great Invocation, in conjunction with the trained hierarchical effort, are thereby attracted or magnetically impelled to respond and then potent energies can be sent direct to the waiting planetary center, Humanity. Two effects of an immediate nature are consequently induced over a specific period of time. Pgs. 152-153
Now, I can understand why there are many who volunteer to become aspirants and disciples but when push comes to shove, they jump overboard - they can’t take the heat. Remember, as we are working as a “group soul” we absorb this world pain and suffering also as a “group soul” and yes, individually we still have to deal with our own karma; but this is what it’s all about – we signed up for this before we entered the planet, and even though we come from different countries, different religions, different nationalities, we are all one in right thoughts, right cooperation and right actions, therefore, we will win the day. I fully understand now, why mankind being hit with the same evil, could only absorb it in the personality body; and this was truly hard to deal with.
D. K. goes on here:
A. a. The energy of the Will of God serves to awaken the illumined but latent will-to-good in men and this, once dynamically awakened, will flower forth as goodwill. There is so much of this which remains latent and unexpressed because the will to demonstrate goodwill activity has not been aroused; it will be automatically aroused in the general public once the world disciples have invoked and evoked the inflow of the higher dynamic energy. Humanity awaits this and its arrival is dependent upon the efforts of those who know what should be done and who should now make their spiritual theories facts in outer expression. Nothing can arrest the eventual progress of this will-to-good and its planned activity any more than a bud which has started to unfold its petals in the light of the sun and subject to the proper stimulation can revert again to the condition of a tightly closed bud, potential but unexpressed. The expression of what has been potential will be the result of the impact of first ray force, of the will-to-good at this time, induced by the efforts of the world disciples. Pg. 153
D. K. lays it all out for us when He explains what happens when the Will of God brings out the will-to-good once mankind is awakened; but the “goodwill aspect” is still very latent during the time of this writing. We look at mankind today and realize that it is still latent and seems to have taken a turn for the worst – yet, we know that now that the Shamballa force has been released and certain disciples working directly under the Planetary Logos and Shamballa, will indeed bring about the necessary changes – as the Master says, nothing can hold it back once released upon humanity – this can all be brought about more quickly if those who have been assigned the task of working on the salvation of the world while making the sacrifice as the World Saviors will finally bring about a rapid results for all of humanity.
B. b. The second effect will be the forming or
constitution of a planetary triangle or recognizable triad which will be the
correspondence between the three planetary centers to the spiritual triad of
Monad, Soul and Personality (the atma-buddhi-manas of the theosophical
literature). Hitherto the word alignment has best described the planetary
situation; there has been a straight line along which energy has poured from
Shamballa to the Hierarchy and from the Hierarchy to Humanity, but this has
meant no direct interplay between Humanity and Shamballa. If the Great Invocation
can be rendered effective, humanity can then set up a direct relationship with
Shamballa. The resultant triangle of force-relationship will promote the
circulation of spiritual energies between the three centers from point to point
so that there will be a triple relation. A planetary process of give and take
between all three will then be established, and the emphasis upon giving will
be far more pronounced. Pgs. 153-15
When all of these stellar forces showed up in the above paragraph, I called my friend, who is an international astrologer and I read her the entire paragraph. She commented, “of course the Master saw the significance of these particular planets and constellations coming to the fore at that particular time. Jupiter rules Sagittarius, the sign of discipleship” – my sun is in Sagittarius and Pisces, is the sign of the world saviors, my Moon is in Pisces. Virgo is esoterically the mother of the Christ child, and she nourishes the Christ consciousness. While Aquarius represents the “group consciousness on a large scale in humanity”. So, in conclusion, I will state that as we get deeper into the sign of Aquarius, there will be more and more activities associated with groups. In fact, if you remember, we, the USA is a republic for which we stand – this is what Plato showed us on how to rule as a group, rather than an individual. Once we move deeper into the New Civilization, many changes will be coming, not only to the planet, but to mankind as a whole. The opportunity to become the Christ consciousness is upon us and everyone has the same opportunity to move forward on their evolutionary path. Remember, by the time the Seventh Root Race enters the planet, most of mankind will be in the 5th Kingdom.
In considering these great Energies, there is little you can do beyond accepting – if you care to do so - my statements anent them, regarding them as interesting and simply explanatory hypotheses. There is little that you can do (or I either) to arrive at first hand knowledge of the facts along this line. Few even of the Members of the Hierarchy are conscious of the impact of force from extra-solar centers or reservoirs of spiritual force. Only the group of Contemplatives in the Hierarchy which are given the exoteric name of Nirmanakayas are responsive to Their influence in any conscious manner and then only when that influence has been stepped down by certain powerful agencies in Shamballa. It is not necessary for me or for you to say more anent Them though I shall touch upon Them again later in the article. pg. 156
When reading this final paragraph in this lesson, we are left with the understanding that there are energies, vibrations and potent forces coming into our planet from the 49 rays, these stellar constellations and planets that are way beyond our reasoning – yet the Master D.K. did publish a book on Esoteric Astrology that might give a further explanation to all that was and still is happening in many planes of our planet – that are affecting our behavior, our consciousness, our personalities and our interactions with our families, our nation and the world at large. The most important thing that we can take away from this lesson is that these same potent Shamballa forces have brought us all together as one group soul, working on the salvation of our world, while taking on the pain and suffering of others. We, as a group, can take the heat and send forth all the incoming light, love and power that Hierarchy sends into our hearts as we do our work. I want to end this lesson with something that I gave to my class many years ago:
MEDITATION IN THE
SILENCE
Sit quietly now and just allow the breath to become rhythmatic slow and even, slow and even – imagine yourselves now before you were formed in the beginning:
Before the beginning,
all was darkness and all was void
The face of the cosmos
was deep and unmanifest,
Indeed, not a face at
all but endless nothing.
No light, no sound, no
movement, no life, no time.
All was null and the
universe was not yet created
Nor even conceived.
For there was no forms
in which to conceive or be conceived.
And became aware that
it was nothing.
Alone and dark, unborn,
unmanifest, silent.
Can you imagine this
silence, the silence of nothing?
Can you quiet yourself
enough to hear it?
Can you listen to the
silence within you?
(Be silent for two
minutes)
Breathe deeply, but
slowly so the breath is silent in your lungs.
Feel your throat
expand with the air coming in.
Listen for the
nothing, listen for the quiet,
Listen deep within
yourself for the place of stillness.
Slowly breathe into
this void, a deep and peaceful breath.
In its infinite quiet,
darkness fell upon itself
And in its emptiness,
knew itself to be alone
And alone it desires
another
In this desire, a
ripple moved across the void
To fold and fold again
upon itself.
Until it was no longer
empty and the void was full with birth.
In the beginning the
great unmanifest
Became vibration in
its own recognition of being.
And that vibration was
a sound from which all other sounds were born.
It came from Brahma in
His first emanation.
It came from Sarasvati,
in Her eternal answers.
In Their union, the
sound arose and spread through all the void and filled it.
And the sound became
one, and the sound became many, and the sound
Became the wheel that
turned and turned the worlds unto the dance of life,
Forever singing,
always moving in tune with the music of the spheres.
If you listen, you can
hear it now. It is your breath, it is in
our hearts, it is in the
Wind, the waters, the
trees and the sky. It is in your own
mind in the rhythm of
Each and every thought.
From one sound does it
all emerge and to one sound shall it return
And the sound is
A U
M…Aaaa-000-uuu-mmmmmmmmmm…AUM
Chant it now inside
you quietly. Let it build within your breath.
Let the sacred sound
escape you, moving on the wings of air.
Rhythm building, deep
vibration, rising up from deep within.
Chant the sound of all
creation, sound that makes the chakras spin.
Louder now the voice
arises, joins with other sounds and chants.
Deeper now the rhythms
weaving all into a sacred dance.
Sound to word and
words to music, riding on the wheels of life,
Guiding us along our
journey, moving spirit deep within.
Chant the voice that
is within you. This is where we must begin.
Up from silence,
breath and body, calling now into the void.
Hear its answers in
the darkness, fear and pain have been destroyed.
Brahma is the first
vibration, Sarasvati is the flow.
Sound unites us in our
vision, harmonizing all we know.
Soon the silence comes
again, with echoes of primordial sound.
Purifying all
vibration, echo of the truth profound.
