Dansk Informationscenter - The Great Invocation co-operation with the United Nations

An inclusive attitude of mind and heart and active, co-operative goodwill between peoples and nations, are necessary prerequisites to the establishment of a new world order of peace and prosperity for all humanity.

As the result of mental conflict, separateness, and lack of understanding, a point of tension has now been reached in world affairs; therefore a new opportunity for creative progress exists for which the United Nations stands.

The energy of synthesis, or universality, is available to humanity in abundance. By invocative prayer and meditation, spiritual energies are tapped and brought into activity; by clear directed thought they can become desirable goals for humanity.

The Great Invocation voices the basic needs of humanity today; the need for light and love, for understanding of the divine Will and for the end of aggressive selfishness. It has been given us at this time of world need for our use in co-operation with the working out of the divine Plan for humanity. It can be used to increase the flow of creative energy through individuals, groups and organisations known to be in alignment with the Plan and with the principle of synthesis. The regular use of the Great Invocation causes powerful changes in human attitudes and purposes.

The United Nations is today an instrument of universality and an agency for unity, peace and prosperity in the world. The spiritual energies embodied in the Great Invocation can be contributed to the United Nations and channelled through its world work by the active co-operation of all true servers of the human race.

The Purposes and Principles of the United Nations

The deep-felt needs and intentions which inspired the founding of the United Nations are proclaimed in the Preamble to the Charter signed at San Francisco on the 26th day of June 1945. The Preamble reads:

We the peoples of the United Nations determined

to save succeeding generations from the scourge of war, which twice in our lifetime has brought untold sorrow to mankind, and to reaffirm faith in fundamental human rights, in the dignity and worth of the human person, in the equal rights of men and women and of nations large and small, and to establish conditions under which justice and respect for the obligations arising from treaties and other sources of international law can be maintained, and to promote social progress and better standards of life in larger freedom,

and for these ends

to practice tolerance and live together in peace with one another as good neighbours, and to unite our strength to maintain international peace and security, and to ensure, by the acceptance of principles and the institution of methods, that armed force shall not be used, save in the common interest, and to employ international machinery for the promotion of the economic and social advancement of all peoples,

have resolved to combine our efforts to accomplish these aims.

Accordingly, our respective Governments, through representatives assembled in the city of San Francisco, who have exhibited their full powers found to be in good and due form, have agreed to the present Charter of the United Nations and do hereby establish an international organisation to be known as the United Nations.

The purposes of the United Nations are:

To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace;
To develop friendly relations among nations based on respect for the principle of equal rights and self-determination of peoples, and to take other appropriate measures to strengthen universal peace;
To achieve international co-operation in solving international problems of an economic, social, cultural, or humanitarian character, and in promoting and encouraging respect for human rights and for fundamental freedoms for all without distinction as to race, sex, language, or religion; and
To be a centre for harmonising the actions of nations in the attainment of these common ends.

The Great Invocation

From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light strem forth into the minds of men.
Let Light descend on Earth.

From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men.
May Christ return to Earth.

From the centre where the Will of God is known
Let purpose guide the little wills of men -
The purpose which the Masters know and serve.

From the centre which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.

Let Light and Love and Power
restore the Plan on Earth.

World Goodwill works to establish right human relations through the use of the power of goodwill.
