THE RAINBOW SWASTIKA - Scattered Seed Ministries

- "the point of Light ...Love" - respectively, the unseen source of mind illumination, or
Lucifer ("lightbearer" of the Logos); and spirit activation, or Maitreya.
- "the Mind... Heart... Will of God" - attributes of the Logos expressed in planetary spheres by
Lucifer ("mind" or intelligence), Maitreya ("heart") and Sanat Kumara ("will" or head, and
Plan); this is why "light" is paired with "mind", "love" with "heart", and "will" with
"purpose". (_Discipleship_, p.158-159, 169.)
- "the centre" - also called "Shamballa", in Hindu mythology the energy core supporting the
Hierarchy; center with a small "c" refers to their earthly headquarters, "the City of the Gods...
a sacred island in the Gobi Desert." (_Externalisation_, p.255; also _Discipleship_, p.159.)
[See the parallel with the "Hyperborea" of gnostic/Nazi tradition.]
- "Let light... love stream forth" - the "light" experience when one encounters a spirit guide
and receives spiritual illumination; the "love" experience when one acknowledges unity with
the All; "stream forth" means to externalize and spread the transformation to others.
- "...center which we call the race of men" - the core of mankind which receives the
Shamballa "energy activation"; the "race" being the "seed" destined to make the "quantum
leap" to the Aquarian Age.
- ...The "Plan of Love and Light work out" - the Plan of the Hierarchy, the group of
disembodied spirit beings represented to us earthlings by the triune "Logos" of Sanat Kumara,
Maitreya and Lucifer . This Plan was dictated verbatim to Alice Bailey. "Plan" is one of
Sanat's attributes, "Love" is the Divine Principle attributed to Maitreya, and "Light" is
Lucifer's trademark (his name means "light-bearer"). To "work out" is to "externalise" from
the spiritual plane to the physical.
- "Let Light descend on Earth" (or in an alternate version, "from the Morning Star... let Christ
stream forth") - let Lucifer (also known as the Morning Star) "externalise" and "anchor the
Plan" on the planet, functioning as the Initiator of mankind into the next level toward
godhood, taking the position of supreme mediator between humanity and the Hierarchy.
- "May Christ return" - a prayer for Maitreya to overshadow as many people as possible, and
finally to inhabit one person in order to act publicly.
- "Let purpose guide the little wills of men" - let the Planetary Logos redirect the reluctant
and/or unaware segments of humanity. Bailey consistently refers to the unitiated as "those
with little wills".
- "The purpose which the Masters know and serve" - "purpose" is equated with "plan" and
"will", the initiative of Sanat Kumara; the "purpose" as Bailey describes it emanates from "the
Council Chamber of Shamballa [which] seeks to influence human will." (_Discipleship_ II,
p.172)
- "Seal the door where evil dwells" (or in another version, "bolt and charge the corridor where
evil spirits tarry") is to shut out the "Black Lodge", those workers of "cosmic evil" who block
the Plan, by eliminating their human tools, those who plunged the world into monotheism (see
Bailey, _The Rays and the Initiations_, p.754-5). In other words, all identifiable Jews.
- "Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth" - permit Lucifer (Light), Maitreya
(Love) and Sanat Kumara (Power) (this is the order of their "externalisation" or appearance
on earth, which must take place in stages) to reactivate the Plan, which was interrupted by the
victory of the Black Lodge. The reactivation involves a deified Earth (capital "E") goddess.
According to researcher Gary Kah ("The Occult Roots of Global Education"), an earlier
(1940) version of The Great Invocation exists, parts of which express the Hierarchy's purpose
in clearer language:

Come forth, O Mighty One.
The hour of service of the Saving Force has now arrived.
Let it be spread abroad, O Mighty One.
