Sacred Mantra
Mantrams have
been described as “a form of words or syllables rhythmically
arranged, so that when sounded certain vibrations are generated.”
According to the Alice Bailey teachings, in the coming Aquarian
cycle, sacred mantrams will be widely used by all those who have
a deep understanding of how sound can be used for beneficent
purposes. It is said that a mantram, when rightly sounded, “creates
a vacuum in matter, resembling a funnel,” opening a channel
of communication between the individual or group who sounds it
and the energy centre it reaches, through which spiritual energies
flow. In the immediate cycle ahead of us, sacred mantrams will
be used in many diverse ways, such as healing, the purification
of cities, the control of the forces of nature, and the focusing
of the minds of a group, so that they are able to receive the
higher impressions.
The Great Invocation
is a sacred mantram that we use daily. The destined role of the
human family as a spiritual intermediary between the higher and
the lower kingdoms is alluded to in the Invocation. Accepting
our responsibility in fulfilling this noble purpose strengthens
the relationship between the great planetary triangle of Shamballa,
Hierarchy and Humanity. Each time we sound the Great Invocation,
with understanding and humility, we connect with the divine circulatory
flow, becoming relaying points of spiritual energy, energising
the Triangles Network with light and goodwill.
Human progress
is characterised by the recognition of certain ideas and their
application in life. In the present period of human evolution
the two outstanding ideas that are slowly being revealed are
light upon our way and practical goodwill. All
of us who use the Great Invocation share a common responsibility
and vision to weave these two strands of divine energy into the
very fabric of human living. It is said that the Invocation is
a mantram for the new age and for all humanity. As more people
use this ancient mantram, the re-connection of the spiritual
and the lower kingdoms, through the mediating role of humanity,
will be accelerated.
Modern science
and the Ageless Wisdom Teachings meet on common ground in declaring
that “all is energy.” We clothe sound in words, and
words ensoul ideas. Ideas, in turn, are but the outer expression
of inner conditioning energies. In the sounding of sacred mantra
we connect with energy flows that are always available for redemptive
purposes. Increasingly, as the centuries slip by, and the science
of sound reveals its hidden mysteries, spiritual servers will
be drawn to employ sacred mantra to enable the inner spiritual
reality to emerge.

and the Universe is His Song
