SPIRIT OF GOODWILL

The Teachers of Divine Love

What Does the Great Invocation Mean When It Speaks of Masters?  Who are These Teachers of Divine Love?

The Masters are perfected human beings. They have mastered their physical, emotional, and mental states of consciousness, and they serve humanity as a community of loving souls.  

The Masters are organized in order to foster the development of God’s Plan on Earth, and they labor with enthusiasm and joy for the progress of humanity. Their interest is in the advancement of the human race.  Their service contributes to all fields of human endeavor:  politics, education and psychology, philosophy, arts, science, religion, economics, and finance. Although They do not impose Their ideas on us, They inspire and encourage us in our striving toward perfection. 

Throughout history, individual Masters and Teachers have been physically present on Earth and have served all life in its progressive unfoldment. From this group, humanity has received teachings fitting for the development of the men and women of those particular times. At the present time the Masters are working to prepare the people of the world to restore a society based on right human relationships and goodwill.  They are also preparing humanity and nations for the reappearance of the Coming One, the World Teacher, and for Their participation in the externalization of spiritual qualities and the unification of the human race. 

“. . . Great Souls exist, and exist entirely to serve Their fellow men. . . .  They are coming forth for the salvation of the world.” 1

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 all 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.
