KEYNOTE:
"I COME FORTH AND FROM THE PLANE OF MIND, I RULE."
In 1945, in the influence of the fiery energy of Aries, Foster Bailey spoke of the morning when, “as the sun was rising”, Alice Bailey shared with him the final translation of the Great Invocation which she had accurately recorded from the Tibetan. The Christ, Who both died and was resurrected in this sign, stands at the center of this Invocation, the mantram for the coming era. This, the Christ’s own mantram, is the vehicle that will draw Him forth as the harbinger of the Fire of Love. Are we prepared to submit ourselves to this fire?
At the Easter full moon the available energies are augmented by the downpouring Forces of Restoration. These Forces pour healing energies into the mental body of humanity. This healing is sorely needed as a counterbalance to the strain of the stimulation to which humanity has been subject during these final decades of transition into Aquarius. In previous transition periods humanity was not a conscious participant but now, because of its increasing mental polarization, human participation is a vital factor in the unfolding events.
Restoration is central to the Invocation’s demand, embodied in its final line, “Let Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth”. To restore is “to bring or give back (something previously stolen or lost and return it to its original owner)”. The choice of this word suggests a time when conditions on the planet were such that the Plan was working out. The mystery of that past is veiled in the relationship between Venus and the Earth of which it’s said, “The planetary Logos of Venus so loved the Earth that He incarnated and gave it perfect laws which were disregarded and rejected”. 1 Let us use the confluence of energies available to us now to play our part in restoring and returning that which has been lost and rejected to its rightful Owner.
