2001 - 2010 International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World
Individuals and groups can help to make the International Decade for a Culture of Peace and Non-violence for the Children of the World more effective through meditation and prayer.
Sit comfortably, alert and with the spine erect. Breathe quietly and regularly. Raise your consciousness to the centre between the eyebrows and without strain hold this focus.
Stage one
Say aloud:
May the Power of the one Life pour through the group of all true servers
May the Love of the one Soul characterise the lives of all who seek to aid the Great Ones
May I/we fulfil my/our part in the one Work through self-forgetfulness, harmlessness, and right speech.
Using the creative imagination link in thought with those throughout the world who are working with this UN Decade meditation.
Stage two
Let the circle of your thoughts expand to include all people of goodwill who serve with skill, wisdom and compassion. Imagine this worldwide group as a network of light and love enveloping the earth - you might like to vision the UN as amongst its brightest lights. In your mind's eye see spiritual energies pouring into this global group of servers, aiding them in their work.
Stage three
Meditate on the theme: the culture of peace and non-violence.
Reflect on what forms it might take, what qualities it requires and why it is needed by the children of the world. Sense or identify with the atmosphere of unity, respect and goodwill that will allow the creation of a culture of peace.
Stage four
Visualise the flow of the will-to-good (essential love) throughout the planet.
Say aloud or silently:
Let vision come and insight.
Let the future stand revealed.
Let inner union demonstrate and outer cleavages be gone.
Let love prevail.
Stage five
Reflect on programmes and activities in the world that are contributing to the creation of a culture of peace and non-violence. Think of practical ways in which local groups and individuals can participate in this global process.
Realise that you are making a contribution to this decade-long focus on the culture of peace and non-violence for the children of the world.
Stage six
Link in thought with people of goodwill all over the world, and visualise spiritual energies of light, love and goodwill pouring through this worldwide network of servers into human consciousness.
Close by using the Great Invocation:
THE GREAT INVOCATION
[Revised Version]
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 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.
OM OM OM
