The Great Invocation
 

he Master Djwal Kool gave Alice Bailey and those who follow these Teachings an Invocation called “The Great Invocation”. It is intended to be “prayed”, recited with one's mind conscious of the subtle spheres called upon by the petition and with one's heart striving for the fulfillment of the ultimate evolution of Humanity.

With poetic prose it states the Three Great Universal and Creative Principles to which this Invocation is directed, highlighting in every stanza, the link between the Principle invoked and the human center or human principle engendered by this Divine Principle and thus bound to it. It is said that “God created man to His resemblance”. The interpretation of this affirmation should not evoke the restless wanderings and the depravities that hinder one's true being which is the spiritual soul. (Higher Mind-Love-Pure Spirit or what is called Manas, Buddhi-Atma in oriental phraseology.)

These Three Universal Principles have been called “Holy Trinity” by the Christians, “Trimourti” by the Hindus and “The Upper Triad” by the Kabbalists. They are creative because all that which exists in the Universe (therefore Creation) is proceeded by them.

They are, in the order of the Manifestation

The order that governs this Invocation has a raison to be. It follows the process of mastery of the personality of a being.

First, it is by the “Light”, in other words, by the “Intelligence” aware of the necessity to change and evolve in consciousness towards Spirit, that the accelerated path of Spiritual evolution can be initiated. One understands the place of a human being within the context of entire planetary, if not systemic, evolution and therefore can take mental action to appease the passions and subject the psychic body to the demands of Spirit. Therefore we find the Invocation of the Light (Divine Intelligence) in the first stanza, so that It acts upon our own Intelligence and leads us to a more transcendental comprehension of Life.

Then, or simultaneously, it is by the “Love” towards all beings that the transmutation of our human structure is pursued in a way effective and rapid . Additionally, our capacity for intuitive Knowledge of the most abstract metaphysical Truths, as well as the faculty of being more and more conscious of the Vast Universe, can be developed. Therefore we find the Invocation of Love in the second stanza, so that It acts upon our own capacity to love and leads us to a more transcendental consciousness of Life.

Then, it is by “the Divine Will”, which is Might or Power, that the immersion in the Divine Plan or purpose of the Creation can be achieved. Therefore we find the Invocation of the Divine Will in the third stanza, so that It acts upon our own capacity of volition and leads us to a more genuine (of spiritual origin) action on Life.

Finally, it is by “Creation” Itself, in other words, as far as we are concerned, the sum total of all the human beings on Earth with their dense personalities (the physical body, the psyche and the intellect) being unified and yielded to Superior Principles (Will, Love, and Intelligence acting on our personality) that “evil” can be eradicated on Earth. Therefore, we find  the Invocation of the Force,  represented in the fourth stanza by a conscious and benevolent Humanity,  so that   powerful and intelligent human action, impregnated by love,  eradicates the planetary evil and thus saves Life.

We see in the final exhortation of this Invocation that it is only by the action of these Three Universal Principles of Will, Love and Intelligence working through Humanity, that the Divine Plan (the access to “true Life” by all and the end of suffering, regardless of one's race, gender or religious creed) will be established on Earth.

This Invocation is presented here, on this Site, so that all men and women who wish to join this intense Prayer can do so, as often as possible, by reciting it in an effective manner, with thorough knowledge and comprehension of what it entails.

— THE GREAT INVOCATION —

“From the Point of Light within the Mind of God
Let Light stream forth into the mind of men
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the Point of Love within the Heart of God
Let Love stream forth into the heart of men
May Christ return to Earth.

From the Centre 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 Centre 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, Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.”
