Suggestions:
- This meditation is so simple that many of you may regard it as
innocuous and perhaps futile. Used by many simultaneously, it may
shatter the impasse which at present prevents adequate funds pouring
into the work which the Hierarchy seeks to accomplish.
- Do this meditation every Sunday morning. Take what you have saved
during the previous week and dedicate it to the work and present it in
meditation to the Christ and His Hierarchy. Whether the sum is large
or small, it can become an attractive and magnetic unit in the
Masters' plans.
- Realise the occult Law that "to those who give shall be
given" so that they can give again.
- Attempt to feel true love sweeping through you, and have the fixed
intention to express this love to all you contact. It is the great
attractive and selfless agent in world affairs.
Stage I.
After achieving a positive and intended personality quietness,
formulate clearly to yourself and in your own words, the answers to the
following questions:
- If money is one of the most important things needed today for
spiritual work, what is the factor which is at present deflecting it
away from the work of the Hierarchy?
- What is my personal attitude towards money? Do I regard it as a
great and possible spiritual asset, or do I think of it in material
terms?
- What is my personal responsibility in regard to money which passes
through my hands? Am I handling it as a disciple of the Masters should
handle it?
PAUSE
Stage II.
- Ponder on the redemption of humanity through the right use of money.
Visualise the money in the world today as
(a) Concretised energy, at present largely used for purely material
purposes and for the satisfaction (where the individual is
concerned) of purely personal desires.
(b) Visualise money as a great stream of flowing golden
substance, passing out of the control of the Forces of Materialism
into the control of the Forces of Light.
- Then say the following invocative prayer, with focused mental
concentration and from a heartfelt desire to meet spiritual demands:
O Thou in Whom we live and move and have our being, the Power
that can make all things new, turn to spiritual purposes the money
in the world; touch the hearts of men everywhere so that they may
give to the work of the Hierarchy that which has hitherto been given
to material satisfaction. The New Group of World Servers needs money
in large quantities. I ask that the needed vast sums may be made
available. May this potent energy of Thine be in the hands of the
Forces of Light.
- Then visualise the work to be done by those groups, which claim your
present allegiance (service activities of the New Group of World
Servers, including international NGO’s and the United Nations.). Then, through the creative imagination and by an
act of the will, see untold and unlimited sums of money pouring into
the hands of those who seek to do the Masters' work.
- Then say aloud, with conviction and emphasis:
He for whom the whole world waits has said that whatsoever shall
be asked in His Name and with faith in the response will see it
accomplished.
Remember at the same time that "faith is the substance of
things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen".
Then add:
I ask for the needed money for ....... and can demand it because
"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"
- Close with a careful consideration of your own responsibility to the
Plan, and each week plan your financial co-operation with the
Hierarchy. Be practical and realistic and know that if you do not
give, you may not ask, for you have no right to evoke that which you
do not share.

First Ray Money
Meditation
The crux of the world problem is
a financial one. It must be solved and you are called - as a group - to
solve it at this most difficult time in world history. Such is ever the
rule for those pioneers who break through into new realms and dimensions
of thought. To solve it will require much clear thinking, sound
discrimination, and the use of the will. It can only be solved as a group
and by a group and will necessitate each member of the group working from
a point of tension, thus contributing to group tension.
Align the threefold personality
and identify with the Soul and with the Soul of the WSI group.
Take a few moments to ponder the
following recognitions:
1. That the work of the Hierarchy
must go on.
2. That the WSI, working in
conjunction with the Hierarchy and the New Group of World Servers, has the
task of evoking a spiritual transformation of the thoughtform of "The
Possession of Money as a Personal Right."
3. That evocation lies at the
root of the work of financial reception.
4. The desired inflow comes not
as a right but because it is released for service by two things, both of
which must be simultaneously present:
a. Those seeking to evoke the
needed money to carry out the work are leading sacrificial lives, are
asking nothing for the separated self and regard themselves as simply
channels through whom the needed supply will be directed.
b. An ability to use the will,
working up to a point of tension through the stages of:
Recognition of the need to be
met. Desire, keen and ardent, to see it met. Knowledge that it can be
met through evocation, which is the bringing together (in this case)
of supply and demand.
5. When a thoughtform embodying
the foregoing recognitions has been constructed, let the following
procedure be carefully undertaken:
a. A moment of intense focusing
and gathering of all the resources of the Soul and personality into one
voiceless and evocative cry.
b. Then with united spiritual
intent and working from the highest point of tension, the group
endeavors to: Attune as a group to the energy of Shamballa. (Please
allow 1 minute for this step.)
c. The WSI now endeavors, as a
group and by an act of will, to pour the Light of Illumination as a beam
of white light, from the group Soul, through the thoughtform of
"The Possession of Money as a Personal Right" to its higher
counterpart, the attitude of "Stewardship and Responsibility Toward
Money."* Please allow 1 minute of silence and intensity of purpose.
*(Please note, we are not
attempting to focus on the thoughtform, rather, we are directing light
to it to evoke the "divine aspect" inherent in the old
thoughtform.)
d. The entire group expresses
the following affirmation:
"We assert the fact that
the power of our united light evokes the divine aspect of money so
that all may give selflessly of their financial resources."
6. When the group has unitedly
said the above, let there be another moment of tension and focusing while
each member of the group visions the constructive effects of humanity's
changed attitude toward money. Please allow 5 minutes for this step.
Following this period of
reflection and visualization the group says in unison:
"We assert the fact that
the ancient thoughtform concerning "The Possession of Money as a
Personal Right" has been transformed by the power of our united
Light. Now that which is needed by us to carry on the work entrusted to
us is available. Therefore, "Oh, Thou in Whom we live and move and
have our being, GIVE of thine abundance and let the work go on."
7. Then with a joyful recognition
of the accepted fact, close with the Gayatri, said fervently.
The Gayatri
Oh Thou Who givest
sustenance to the Universe, From Whom all things proceed, and to Whom all
things return, Unveil to us the face of the true Spiritual Sun, Hidden by
a disc of gold light. That we may know the truth, and do our whole duty As
we journey to Thy Sacred Feet.
