Contents
Foreword
Howard Ray Carey is that unusual
combination: a Methodist minister who is also a student
of the esoteric teachings, and so can shine the revealing light of the esoteric tradition on the symbolic
stories and events of the Christian Bible. His is thus a most valuable service. We have been privileged to
publish these articles in the monthly magazine Share International, where they have rightly proved enormously
informative and inspiring. We are glad to have the opportunity of presenting them in this collected form.
Benjamin Creme
The Great Invocation
- 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
wills of men – The Purpose which 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.
The Great Invocation, used by the Christ for the first time in June 1945, was released
by him to humanity to enable man himself to invoke the energies which would change our world, and
make possible the return of the Christ and Hierarchy. This is not the form of it used by the
Christ. He uses an ancient formula, seven mystic phrases long, in an ancient sacerdotal tongue. It
has been translated (by Hierarchy) into terms which we can use and understand, and, translated into many
languages, is used today in every country in the world.
It can be made even more potent. Used in triangular formation it becomes very
potent. If you wish to work this way, arrange with two friends to use the Invocation, aloud, daily. You
need not be in the same town, or country, or say it at the same time of day. Simply say it when
convenient for each one, and, linking-up mentally with the two other members, visualize a triangle
of white light circulating above your heads and see it linked to a network of such triangles covering the
world.
