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.
- 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.Use the creative imagination to link in thought with those around the world who are thinking deeply about the value of the diversity of languages and cultures in the One Humanity.
-
Let the circle of your thoughts expand to include all true servers. Visualise this worldwide group as a network of light and love enveloping the earth, bringing to birth a civilisation and culture of peace, goodwill and right relations.
-
Imagine Great Ones on the inner side of life flooding this global group of servers with spiritual energies, aiding them in their work.
-
Meditate on the theme of unity in diversity. In your meditation you might:
Ponder the role of languages and the value of diversity, communication and right speech in the evolution of the universal spirit in humanity; Silently say prayers, or words for unity, love or spirit in key languages in your environment, linking with their energies;
Give thanks for language as a gift, treasured by all people;
Link in love and solidarity with those facing threats to their mother tongue.
Pause for a moment of alert stillness.
-
Consider what people are currently doing and what future initiatives may be possible to preserve the livingness of minority languages and cultures. See this work flooded with spiritual energies: light, love, inspiration and blessing.
Close by using 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
