The Great Invocation

The Great Invocation
(Alternate Version)

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let Light stream forth into human minds.
Let Light descend on earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let Love stream forth into human hearts
May the Coming One return to earth.**

From the center where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little human wills
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the center which we call the human race
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.

How to Use the Great Invocation

*"The above Invocation or Prayer does not belong to any person or group but to all Humanity. The beauty and the strength of this Invocation lies in its simplicity, and in its expression of certain central truths which all men, innately and normally, accept - the truth of the existence of a basic Intelligence to Whom we vaguely give the name of God; the truth that behind all outer seeming, the motivating power of the universe is Love; the truth that a great Individuality came to earth, called by Christians, the Christ, and embodied that love so that we could understand; the truth that both love and intelligence are effects of what is called the Will of God; and finally the self-evident truth that only through humanity itself can the Divine Plan work out."

A. A. Bailey

**All the major religions expect a return of a world Teacher. This teacher is known to Christians as the Christ, to Buddhists as the Lord Maitreya, to Muslims as the Imam Madhi, to Jews as the Messiah, and to Hindus as the Lord Krishna. Each religion uses the name of its own expected one. Many use these names as the symbol for the return of pure Spiritual Love and Light to the minds and hearts of all. You can also substitute the word "Divine Love" for Christ; the meaning remains the same.
