<strong>The</strong> <strong>Rainbow</strong> <strong>Swastika</strong> - <strong>The</strong> Transformation of Society<br />

to "Master") in order to further coax the "Christian public" into using the Invocation. (p.157) [Although the "Jewish public" is even more<br />

repelled by a plural divinity, their sensitivities are ignored - for the simple reason that the prayer is ultimately directed against them. See in<br />

the Views on Jews section.]<br />

Why is it helpful for the general public to misconstrue the meaning of what they are praying? Because in NA teaching, as in all occult<br />

teaching, it is the act and not the intent which releases power. If the understanding of the one performing it is defective, others who have the<br />

proper "spiritual intelligence" can still harness the astral [spiritual] power being produced by the action. Whenever the Invocation is recited,<br />

says the definitive <strong>book</strong>let by Lucis Trust, that individual "allies himself with the spiritual Hierarchy", whether he knows it or not. (_<strong>The</strong> Use<br />

and Significance of the Great Invocation_, p.11) In fact, Alice Bailey (or DK) declares, "No one can use this Invocation or prayer for<br />

illumination and for love without causing powerful changes in his own attitudes." (_Discipleship_, p.168) It is expected that those who pray<br />

the Invocation in ignorance of its true purpose will nevertheless be "transformed" by it. Understanding this point explains why "<strong>The</strong> New<br />

World Prayer" is being so vigorously promoted without even an elementary guide to interpretation.<br />

But how are NA disciples to understand the same words? "To them it will convey the recognition... of the spiritual Directors of our life [the<br />

Masters of Wisdom].... [As a result,] an era of hierarchical propaganda, engineered by disciples and carried forward by esotericists, will<br />

mature... [giving rise to] a new type of mystic... [who can] clearly indicate to others the techniques of the Path." (p.166) Those who Bailey<br />

considered the most potent propagandists for the Invocation and its "Path" are "<strong>The</strong> New Group of World Servers", "World Goodwill" and<br />

"<strong>The</strong> Triangles".<br />

4b. Here is the text from 1945, identical to that promoted in the World Goodwill Newsletter (issued 1997, vol.2). <strong>The</strong> footnote and<br />

capitalizing are in the original. [Please do not use this in prayer or even read it out loud - treat it as the idolatrous incantation it is. I would<br />

not even be including it, if I were not convinced that this is a case of pikuach nefesh, with many lives in the balance.]<br />

------------------------<br />

From the point of Light within the Mind of God<br />

Let light stream forth into the minds of men.<br />

Let Light descend on Earth.<br />

From the point of Love within the Heart of God<br />

Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.<br />

May Christ* return to Earth.<br />

From the centre where the Will of God is known<br />

Let purpose guide the little wills of men -<br />

<strong>The</strong> purpose which the Masters know and serve.<br />

From the centre which we call the race of men<br />

Let the Plan of Love and Light work out<br />

And may it seal the door where evil dwells.<br />

Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.<br />

*In some translations of the Great Invocation the name by which the Coming One is known in different religions is used, eg. the Lord<br />

Maitreya, Krishna, the Imam Mahdi and the Messiah.<br />

----------------------------<br />

Bailey explains two key concepts to be emphasized "once it is permissible" to use the prayer publicly (_Discipleship_, p.149-150):<br />

1. "May Christ return to Earth."... What is referred to is the externalisation of the Hierarchy and its exoteric appearance on<br />

Earth... under its Head, the Christ, [who will] function openly and visibly on Earth. This will happen when the purpose of the<br />

divine Will, and the plan which will implement it, are better understood....<br />

2. "May it seal the door where evil dwells."... <strong>The</strong> evil referred to has nothing to do with the evil inclinations, [etc.] found in the<br />

hearts and minds of human beings... [but rather] the loosed forces of evil... [the neutralizing of which] requires the imposition of<br />

a power beyond the human.... <strong>The</strong>se evil potencies will be occultly "sealed" within their own place: what this exactly means has<br />

naught to do with humanity. [Never mind that only a few pages later, "it is not the Hierarchy which forces evil back into the<br />

place from whence it comes. It is struggling, aspiring and suffering humanity to whom the task is committed." (p.159)]<br />

Page 5 of 10<br />

As the old values like "separateness" are replaced with the new, "the door where evil dwells" will close "through the sheer weight of public<br />

opinion and through right human desire. Nothing can possibly stop it." (p.175)<br />

Following is a brief glossary of other coded phrases in the text of the Invocation. Note the capitalized words; these refer to divine entities or<br />

attributes, as opposed to the same word without caps, meaning earthly or human replications. Most of these key words are found in Bailey's<br />

description of the "Planetary Logos". <strong>The</strong> rest can be deduced from her worldview.<br />

- "the point of Light ...Love" - respectively, the unseen source of mind illumination, or Lucifer ("lightbearer" of the Logos); and spirit<br />

activation, or Maitreya.<br />

- "the Mind... Heart... Will of God" - attributes of the Logos expressed in planetary spheres by Lucifer ("mind" or intelligence), Maitreya<br />

("heart") and Sanat Kumara ("will" or head, and Plan); this is why "light" is paired with "mind", "love" with "heart", and "will" with<br />

"purpose". (_Discipleship_, p.158-159, 169.)<br />

- "the centre" - also called "Shamballa", in Hindu mythology the energy core supporting the Hierarchy; center with a small "c" refers to their<br />

earthly headquarters, "the City of the Gods... a sacred island in the Gobi Desert." (_Externalisation_, p.255; also _Discipleship_, p.159.) [See<br />

the parallel with the "Hyperborea" of gnostic/Nazi tradition.]<br />

- "Let light... love stream forth" - the "light" experience when one encounters a spirit guide and receives spiritual illumination; the "love"<br />

experience when one acknowledges unity with the All; "stream forth" means to externalize and spread the transformation to others.<br />

- "...center which we call the race of men" - the core of mankind which receives the Shamballa "energy activation"; the "race" being the<br />

"seed" destined to make the "quantum leap" to the Aquarian Age.<br />

- ...<strong>The</strong> "Plan of Love and Light work out" - the Plan of the Hierarchy, the group of disembodied spirit beings represented to us earthlings by<br />
