The Group Mind Stands

(Align the lower mind with the son of Mind, the Soul1and thence with

the higher Mind. Extend this line of lightof unified threefold mindto that, of ones group and finally out to humanity and the spiritual

Hierarchy.)

The group Mind stands. The bridge built holds.

Thus the word goes out from soul to soul:

Let the Temple of the Lord be built! Open the door

to all the sons of men who come from all the

darkened valleys of the land. Give them the Light !

(Visualise this appeal emanating from the midway point, the Soul.)

Unveil the inner shrine, and through the work of

all the craftsmen of the Lord extend the Temple

of the Lord and thus, irradiate the worlds. Sound

forth the Word creative, and raise the dead to life!2

(Silently sound the sacred Word within the head identifying subject,

object3and activity of two worlds: the world of meaning employing

loving understanding plus effort relating such world to the outerworld of laborfor the benefit of the masses. In this, picture loving

understanding uniting the two, and over-lighting group Mind. [Note:

all Soul builders or craftsmen are aligned or pledged to Temple building.]

Pause. Thus identified4, align with the World Teacher.

5Picture Him as the

Nourisher of the Little Ones [or Builders] with that Life, more abundantly

He dynamically and magnetically gives, and IS, thus empowering the raising of

their building work. Pause. Picture now the will-to-be embodying such Life

strengthening the builders receptivity to the will-to-good, and the will-to-know.Pause. As a radiant Existence identified through the Life and the Lives,

soundwith genuine heartfelt intent: )

I know, O Lord of Life and Love,

about the need.

Touch my heart anew with love,

That I too may love and give.

1 Sometimes called the individualised mind.2 Second and third verses from Esoteric Psychology Vol.1:83-4 by Alice A. Baileyslightly adapted.

3 Subject refers to the active, cognising individual or social group, with consciousness and/or will,

while object refers to that on which the subjects cognitive or other activity observes.4 As a group conscious Soul.5 The World Teacher standing at the midway Temple of the Lord of the World. His title of office ofWorld Teacher is known by many names, some of which being, Lord Maitreya, the Christ, the

Bodhisattva, Imam Mahdi, the Messiah or the Master Builder of all Master Builders.

(Sound again the Word as before though this time followed by the visualising

of an outpouring from the World Teacher overshadowing all the hearts of the

Group of World Servers whom in response evoke the needed skilful means

through loving understandingfor the service of the race, and the Plan. An

understanding because, embodying the will-to-good or essential love

generated by the Temple Builders is the cement which binds each and all

the stones within the Temple walls. Pausefor realizing the simplicity and

profound inclusiveness and depth, of the process. Once more sound, with

genuineheartfelt intent:)

Let not then love cease, in its course,

from the planetary Heart. For God IS Love.

Let the saving Force, DOits work.6That

Understanding draws forth the Little Ones.

The resurrection Life thus pledges the Way,

and the Equal-Armed Cross, the means.

Though of these, GIVEmore. That through

the giving, a New World, ISmade.

For thusthe group Mind stands.

The bridge built holds. OM

Further meditation options:

After the initial alignment add theNaming and Loving

technique. Or to the effect, of visualising each member and

his/her naming followed by creatively imagining pure

selfless love streaming forth from your Soul, to his/hers.

For making a more substantial meditation after the adapted

Noontime RecollectionI know, O Lord That I too may loveand give, add a 15 minute meditation on the seed thought (i)

loving understanding (ii) the need for standing though also

working in both directions from the midway point and, at will

as implied, for meeting the need; and, (iii) the will-to-goodas

we know corresponds to divine, or essential love emanating

from the Most High. Alternating these, on a monthly basis.

6 Implications here are that the disciple is advancing including recognising the first initiation is behind

him and the antahkarana is underway alongwith understanding and group use of the advanced rules forinitiation and the saving Force (or the Will-to-Save) as implied in the Great InvocationStanza Two and,

these rules.

The meditation also does not have to be employed at midday.

This is definitely not, a beginners meditation. It is equally

recommended to be performed in a group of three or more

members. Thus strengthening the manifestation of the fifth

kingdom within the fourththe kingdom of the group

conscious Soul with its lower counter-part, the growingaligned and integrated lower mind and personality, humanity.
