Goodwill Meditation Group

For many years, each week, individuals across the world have been linking up in thought and joining in a meditation on goodwill. The purpose of this meditation work is to strengthen and increase the energy of goodwill in a troubled world.

The members of the group do not need to meet physically because the work is done on mental levels; they simply link up mentally for 10 to 15 minutes each week on a Wednesday, wherever they happen to be. The function of this subjective group work is to act as a channel through which the energy of goodwill can flow from spiritual levels of awareness into human minds and hearts. The meditation has a constructive and healing effect which not only helps to establish right human relations but also lifts and transforms human consciousness.

Goodwill is an expression of the energy of Love which is said to be the universal characteristic and quality of divine life in our solar system and on our planet; it is both an attitude and a harmonising energy. It is not a sentimental or negative desire it is rather a practical and dynamic force for constructive action and an expression of the “will-to-good”. Problems that seem incapable of resolution can, over time, be resolved through the power of goodwill – it is that “magic” ingredient – a catalyst that has the potential to build bridges between opposing interests, one example being the high profile work of the United Nations Goodwill Ambassadors.

Energy follows thought is the basis of the Triangles work and the energy of goodwill is no exception to this rule. Directed goodwill can help transform, change and uplift the quality of human relationships because everything in the objective world is the result of some thought or desire. Linking up in thought we can imagine the energy of goodwill flowing into humanity, uniting the human family, strengthening the mental atmosphere, helping humanity solve complex problems and heal differences and cleavages.

The Goodwill Meditation Group seeks to work in co-operation with all who are working towards the same end. It is not necessary to formally join the group or to write to anyone. But those who do wish to signify their participation in this work can do so by writing to World Goodwill, and such communications are welcomed.

It is suggested that the work is done at noon each Wednesday – the midpoint of the week and the focal point of the whole group endeavour. However, if this time is not convenient another time is fine.

Triangles is a world service activity in which people link in thought in groups of three to create a planetary network of triangles of light and goodwill. Using a world prayer, the Great Invocation, they invoke light and love as a service to humanity. Further information is available on request from Triangles.

The Triangles Bulletin is for men and women of goodwill and is published four times a year in Czech, Dutch, English, Farsi, French, German, Greek, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish and Swedish. Triangles is an activity of the Lucis Trust, a non-profit educational charity which exists to promote right human relations.
