- THE CHRIST'S FESTIVAL
and WORLD
INVOCATION DAY - June 11th, 2006
The Festival of the Christ follows one month after Wesak
at the time of the full moon of Gemini. It has the
keynote of "humanity, aspiring to God" and
blending many different spiritual approaches in one
united act of invocation. It has been observed since 1952
as World Invocation Day. ( more...)
A gigantic group meditation is
going on in many different phases upon our planet. All
the meditating units and reflective groups are related to
each other through unity of spiritual motive; they are
seeking closer cooperation and endeavoring to bring their
meditation work - consciously or unconsciously - into a
state of universal quiet, so that the formulation of
spiritual desire can be carried successfully forward, and
the reception of spiritual energies can be a united
reception.
For two days prior to the
full moon, on the day of the full moon itself, and for
the two succeeding days (five days) endeavor at sunrise,
at noon, at five o'clock p.m., and at sunset, plus the
exact time of the full moon in your own land, to say the
Great Invocation with the intent to invoke, precipitate
and anchor in outer manifestation the waiting potencies.
Do this aloud when possible, and in group formation
whenever feasible. It is the focussed power of
unemotional thought which will bridge the present
existing gap and link more closely the two worlds of
spiritual activity and of human demonstration.
A paper on the significance of these three
spiritual Festivals is available on request; also a
booklet on meditation at the full moon. Further
information can be found in the books The Reappearance of
the Christ and Discipleship in the New Age, Volume II, by
Alice A. Bailey.
