The Invocation For Power and Light

This invocation from the Archives of the Masters was distributed to disciples on the path throughout time and in its entirety to the public at the time of the full moon of June 1945 by the Tibetan Master Djwhal Khul. It has become known over time as The Great Invocation.

The (below) invocation or prayer does not belong to any person or group but to all humanity. By using it and encouraging others to use it, no particular group or organization is being sponsored.

This Invocation appears frequently in newspapers and magazines in many countries and is being broadcast by radio stations all over the world. Many thousands of people are using it every day, thus creating a world-wide spiritual public opinion which can become irresistible.”

The beauty and the strength of this Invocation lies in its simplicity, and in its expression of certain central truths which all men, innately and normally, accept —
the truth of the existence of a basic Intelligence to Whom we vaguely give the name God;

the truth that behind all outer seeming, the motivating power of the universe is Love;

the truth that a great Individuality came to Earth, called by Christians the Christ, and embodied that love so that we could understand;

the truth that both love and intelligence are effects of what is called the Will of God;

and finally the self-evident truth that only through humanity itself can the divine Plan Work out.”

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 center 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 center 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.

Each of the four stanzas refers to one or other of the three aspects of divine energy, plus a reference to humanity itself in which the three meet, are potentiality in latency, and finally develop into the full flower of divinity, with all three lines perfectly expressed.”
