SPIRIT OF GOODWILL

How Do I Use the Great Invocation?

A Creative Visualization and Meditative Approach

The Great Invocation is a beautiful universal world prayer for humanity. Use of this prayer brings powerful changes to our life and to mankind. It is, therefore, important that we use this prayer with a joyful spirit and right attitude. The following usage is suggested:  

•     Sit in a quiet place.  

•     Silence your body, your emotions and your mind; let go of all thoughts and worries and keep your mind from wandering.  

•     Speak slowly and with solemnity, sounding the words softly aloud or reciting the words silently.  

•     As you say the Great Invocation, concentrate fully on the meaning of each word; do not allow yourself to become mechanical in your expression.  

•     As you say the prayer, visualize the world and all humanity and see Light, Love and Power (the Will-to-Good) spreading over the entire planet:  

With the first stanza visualize the Light of understanding spreading to the minds of all men and women of the world.  

With the second stanza visualize the Love of the Coming One streaming into the hearts of all humanity, replacing hate and fear with the love which creates right human relations.  

With the third stanza visualize God's Purpose influencing the little wills of human beings to create a radiant future.  

With the fourth stanza visualize a world in which the evils of hate, separatism, greed, war and materialism no longer exist.  

With the fifth stanza visualize the Light, Love, and Power (Will-to-Good) of our Creator transforming humanity and the planet.  

•     Conclude the Great Invocation with Amen, Om, or your favorite sacred word and send blessings to all humanity.  

The power of any prayer increases with concentrated attention. It is important to direct our consciousness to the meaning of the words and to speak the prayer with clear, visualized thought, with heartfelt enthusiasm, with understanding, and with faith that the objectives of the prayer will be realized.  

The Great Invocation can be sounded at any time during the day and can be included with other prayers or with a daily meditation. The effect of the prayer is greater if it is repeated daily, as repeated recitation creates strong thoughtforms and creates in us a focus toward the ideals which the prayer expresses.  

“This Invocation is a prayer for the Future, when humanity will bloom to its highest beauty and will express the music of the Purpose of the Infinite.”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.
