Triangles Seminar
In February of last year, the first Triangles Forum was held in London.
The aim of the Forum was to introduce people of goodwill to using the power
of thought to direct light and love into human consciousness through
forming triangles. There was an enthusiastic response at the meeting and
new triangles were formed. Following on this initiative, we are planning a
Triangles Seminar on November 9 this year (in each of the three headquarters
centres) in Geneva, New York and London. The purpose of the Seminar will be to
deepen the spiritual focus of the worldwide Triangles group and so further
precipitate the flow of light and goodwill into the consciousness of humanity.
Also, there are plans to work in co-operation with units of service worldwide
who will organise their own Triangles meetings/celebrations/periods of meditation
and reflection on the same day as the Seminar. Through the co-operative efforts
of all involved a global spiritual focus on Triangles will be generated in the
run up to, during and beyond the Seminar. Further details will be sent to all
co-workers in the next few months.
Triangles on-line
All those with access to the internet may be interested to learn of 'Triangles on-line,'
which is a web-based initiative enabling co-workers on secure web pages: to register
their triangles; to form triangles on-line after completing a short questionnaire;
and to submit their reflections on the work or related matters, on the ‘sharing group
thought’ page. Selected papers will be published on our web site and/or in future
editions of the Triangles Bulletin. So, please do visit the web-site (www.triangles.org),
click on ‘Triangles’ on the top horizontal navigation bar and you can then select the
service you require. We hope this new facility will encourage people to form new
triangles, to register their triangles and to share their thoughts on the work.
Problems of Humanity on-line
World Goodwill has also recently launched a new web-based initiative
(www1.lucistrust.org/goodwill/poh/) focusing on the study course 'Problems of Humanity'.
It features a selection of passages from the printed study course, along with
discussion forums for sharing thoughts and envisioning pathways towards solution.
The new pages currently feature an introduction to this study course, and there are
six main areas which will be highlighted in future: the relationship between capital
and labour; youth and education; minorities; international unity; the psychological
renewal of nations; and churches and organised religions. Each of these issues must
be imaginatively and intelligently resolved if humanity is to create a better world
for all.
The Great Invocation in Kinyarwanda
The Great Invocation is central to our work in releasing light and goodwill into human
consciousness. Given out to the world in 1945, the Great Invocation, a mantram for
the new age, has now been translated into over seventy languages and dialects, and
used daily by countless thousands of men and women of goodwill in over 100 countries
of the world.
It is always a joy to learn of a new translation in another language. At the end of
last year, a co-worker in the Ivory Coast informed us that the Great Invocation had
been translated into Kinyarwanda.
Kinyarwanda is spoken in Rwanda, Burundi, parts of Western Tanzania and Southern Uganda.
It was used for the first time, as a group prayer, in April of last year to commemorate
the seventh anniversary of the Rwandan genocide as “the concluding part of a prayer
session on inclusiveness.”
