| It was difficult, ca. 70 years ago, to
translate the very ancient invocative word-forms which the Christ
is using. These word-forms are only seven in number.
But it was possible to give their general significance in English,
and even in this longer form, in four Stanzas, it is powerful if
said with mental intensity, conviction and ardent purpose.
The word “men” derives from manas, thought, beings
who think (hopefully), meaning humans of both genders.
This beautiful and powerful Invocation is given to all people
of all faiths. Behind all aspects of the Divine, of God, the motivating
power of the Universe is Love.
The curtailing of the evil forces from Cosmos and through the
World War, and now, seriously, by the renegade organized evil of
the World, requires the imposition of Powers beyond the human.
This means invoking the Light and Love and Power from the Hierarchy
of Masters where the Christ is chief, and from the Centre where
the Will of God is known, also called Shamballa, and which can
invoke still higher Forces and Beings, when necessary, such as
Celestials and certain Creator Gods of stars in their courses.
So, The Great Invocation can be used by all esoteric groups, triangles,
individuals all the time, but specially at full Moons.
One day
mankind, almost by itself, will be able to “seal the door
where evil dwells”. This does not mean putting a lid onto
an underground hell, or fighting individual selfish problems, but
to prevent so-called cosmic evil from entering our World, by mobilizing
Light, Love and Goodwill.
