Outline of the work

This service initiative involves group invocation of the divine will and its direction as the will-to-good in the build up to a selected conference or series of councils/meetings, preparing in advance the right spiritual atmosphere in which they can take place. The group imaginatively projects a lighted seed of ‘will energy’ and develops it into a pulsating heart centre radiating the light, love and power of the Great Invocation throughout the event and its participants. Through visualisation, this preparatory nucleus of light can frequently be brought under the gaze of the mind’s eye and its inner fire fed with ideas resulting from meditation upon the topic and event that is being focused. Many people doing this in preparation for the event creates streams of living ‘will energy’ that connect to the thoughtform, its inner light being fanned into the flame of synthesis by the group gaze. In this way, a large and potent group thoughtform is built, wielding a powerful influence.

The meditation outline is a simple one that can also be used as a dynamic visualisation exercise; once memorised, it can be brought to the front of the mind and energised at any time. The meditation in full can be used whenever deemed appropriate, but would be of most benefit either before or after a period of reflection, research, or discussion on the subject of the conference. It is well to remember that an effective thoughtform has to be built on all levels of consciousness and these activities provide a strong mental foundation that attracts the pertinent abstract and intuitional energies for effective work. It also provides the needed density of thought, which, coupled with right desire, can externalise the thoughtform in the ethers where it can perform effective work.

At the start of each project an email letter is circulated to all participants with links to the meditation outline, thoughts for pondering and any other relevant materials. There is also a link to our weblog on which relevant news updates and journalistic comment are posted on a regular basis.  Thoughts and reflections from co-workers are welcome and are posted on the Cycle of Conferences download page.

This experiment in group work, group consciousness and group telepathy is intended to grow organically and it naturally lends itself towards the use of electronic media. An increasingly important aspect of spiritual work in the new age is to help develop the right use of the rapid communications network for spiritual purposes. Communication networks circumscribe the globe – a powerful symbol of the etheric lines of communication that underlie all human and planetary relationships, and evolution. Through the immediacy of electronic communication, the group mind can be synchronised and collectively tuned into related aspects of the subject matter concerned, promoting the growth of points of resonance around which group telepathy can develop. With this in mind, commentaries by headquarters group are circulated to participants on a regular basis.

For Units of Service and those who hold full moon meetings, this work may become a natural extension of current service activities. Occasional study/discussion meetings on the topic of the conference might be held around the time of the new moon. This is when we traditionally work to “strengthen the hands of the new group of world servers” by distributing the energies contacted during the higher interlude of the month. For such meetings, the Cycle of Conferences meditation could be used for five or ten minutes at the start and the new moon meditation outline at the close.
