A World Prayer by Alice A Bailey & Djwhal Khul
What is the Great Invocation?
The Great Invocation is a World Prayer, an invocation for light and love, and is used globally as act of service to humanity to aid the Plan of God to find full expression on Earth.
Two versions are presented here - the original version released in 1945 by Alice Bailey and The Tibetan, Djwhal Khul, and the newer adapted version to accommodate the world's changing consciousness.
Original 1945 Version
by Alice A Bailey & Djwhal Khul...
The Great Invocation
From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts 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 and Love and Power
restore the Plan on Earth.
Adapted 2000 Version
by the Lucis Trust...
The Great Invocation
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 centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide all little human wills -
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the centre 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.
Note on the adapted version:
The 'offending' words which were modified are:
- "man". (This word is actually Sanskrit for 'one who thinks')
- "Christ" (This word actually refers to divine consciousness)
The adapted version replaced "man" and "Christ" with to a general misunderstanding of the true meaning of these words by many, which caused 'objections'. The words were modified so that they preserved their original meaning and intent, whilst making it more 'palatable' for some.
