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. Use the creative imagination to link in thought with all around the world who are using this meditation.
-
Reflect upon the rich diversity of life on Earth, including every plant, animal and micro-organism.
-
Recognise the vital role biodiversity plays in sustaining life on Earth.
Recognise that much of this diversity is being lost as a result of human activity.
Be aware of the group of all human beings around the world who value the diversity of life on Earth and who are active in protecting and preserving that diversity.
Recognise the Great Ones on the inner side of life (the Christ and the Buddhas, Saints, Rishis, Angelic Presences and Immortals of all traditions). Imagine them watching over all human efforts to preserve and protect biodiversity. Reflect on the thought that the Great Ones hold this work in the light.
Pause for a moment of alert stillness
-
Meditate on right relations between humanity, the other kingdoms of nature, and the Great Ones on the inner side of life.

Pause for a moment of alert stillness.

Now consider activities that will be undertaken during this International Year of Biodiversity. Imagine this meditation creating a group field of mind and heart that nurtures wisdom, inspires creativity, and strengthens the will amongst those working on projects to preserve biodiversity.
Close by using the World Prayer, the Great Invocation, or an affirmation of your choice.
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 all 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
