also known as the Smaragdine Table, or Tabula Smaragdina, is a compact and cryptic piece of the Hermetica reputed to contain the secret of the prima materia and its transmutation
During your meditations and prayers, this is a wonderful invocation to use on a regular basis. It has been given to Earth by the Master DK channeling through Alice Bailey.
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.
To understand this invocation first visualize the earth as a small part of
the great Universal Mind of God.
See the earth as the tabernacle of God,
but the great light that is within it is veiled by thick clouds of
darkness. The light shineth in the darkness and the darkness comprehendeth
it not. The darkness is the minds of men.
See the earth as it was at the dawn of the present civilization.
For
thousands of years it was covered with darkness that comprehendeth not the
light.
Then, after the long night of waiting numerous millennia a point of light,
almost infinitesimal at first but growing steadily, penetrates the
darkness.
This point of light first radiated from one entity from among the
sixty billion designated for this planet. This shined forth from the person
of Gautama Buddha around five hundred years before the birth of Jesus.
For 2500 years the enlightenment that he sought and found has been slowly
permeating mankind, but by 1945, after the end of the great war the time
had come for it to "stream forth" that the divine mission of Buddha could
finally be consummated.
See this point of light develop into a great light that pushes back all the
darkness until the whole earth is filled with the glory of God.
For the second stanza visualize the earth as it was on the creation day as
described in the Bible. Below the darkness the earth was covered in water
and there was no land in sight. See it as existing in this state for an
untold period of time until after the ages a point of warm glowing land
appears. The size steadily increases until the continents appear as they
are today in the light of the Sun.
The point of Love is the Christ who was the first of all the sons of men to
radiate the pure love of God which is the only sure foundation that we can
stand on. One can see why he was referred to as the "Rock" of Israel, a
title which he also gave to Peter.
In 1945 when the sign of the Son Of Man was given the time had arrived for
the love of God to "stream forth." that the mission of the Christ could
also be consummated.
Visualize the streaming forth effect as in evaporating the waters in the
seas and oceans and the whole earth becoming one great land mass glowing
with light.
See the Earth as did John the Beloved: "And I saw a new heaven
and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away;
and there was no more sea." Rev 21:1
The first heaven and the first Earth are now passing away and "all things
are becoming new". Soon there will be no more sea, or no more cold waters
drowning the pure Love of God and there will be Peace on Earth Goodwill
Toward Men.
When you say "the center where the will of God is known" visualize God the
God by whatever name is comfortable.
See him in the beginning of creation
as the one who spoke and by the power of His will there was light in place
of darkness. See him as speaking again and there was land instead of water.
See him as having an all powerful will-to-good.
Review what I have written earlier on purpose and incorporate the thought
into: "Let purpose guide the little wills of men". It must, however, be
"the purpose which the Christ and his group of Masters know and serve."
In the next stanza we ask that the plan of Light and Love will work out
through the race of men and not through the interference of some all
powerful dictator. Here we ask that man himself through his free will,
shall gain the power to solve his problems through wielding knowledge
tempered with love.
We have decided not to sit back and let a god of our
own creation do our work for us that we can do for ourselves.
When the race of men are irradiated with light and fused with Love the door
to evil is then sealed. This is the seal that binds Satan a thousand years.
True evil is not desired by the souls of men when it stands clearly seen in
the light of day with flames of love gently drawing men's attention toward
the good.
The final great statement is: "Let Light and Love and Power restore the
Plan on Earth." In restoring the Plan, or building the kingdom of God, all
three energies of the Trinity are invoked. Light and Love can seal the door
where evil dwells, but Power, or the Father aspect must be manifest to
create the literal Kingdom here on the earth.
