Meditation #45:

Seed Thoughts of the Great Invocation

(Volume 2 - Page 175)

1. ALIGNMENT AND RECOLLECTION:  This produces recognition of spiritual status and objectives.  It involves recognition also of the Ashram and dedication to the Master, under two symbols: the Soul and the central Point in the Ashram.

2. AFFIRMATION:  Say with your whole heart as a Soul the following ancient mantram:

“I am a point of light within a greater Light,

I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of Love divine.

I am a point of sacrificial Fire, focused within the fiery Will of God,

        and thus I stand.

I am a way by which men may achieve.

I am a source of strength, enabling them to stand.

I am a beam of light, shining upon their way,

        And thus I stand.

And standing thus revolve,

And tread this way the ways of men,

And know the ways of God.

        And thus I stand.”

3. ORIENTATION:  This is a period of quiet thought upon the significance of the affirmation.

4. MEDITATION:  This is concerned with the four stanzas of the new Invocation.

5. FIXED DETERMINATION:  

1. A reflection upon the distinction between Purpose, Will and Intention.

2. A period of complete, focused silence as you seek to present an unobstructed channel for the inflow of light, love and strength from the Hierarchy.

3. A statement to the personality made by you the Soul, the disciple:

“In the center of the will of God I stand.

Naught shall deflect my will from His.

I implement that will by love.

I turn towards the field of service.

I, the Triangle divine, work out that will

within the square and serve my fellowmen.”
