Consider the impact of using the words ‘man’ and ‘men’ on a female reader’s consciousness. It is as if the messages are directed at men and for men (even though they are not). Using male gender references, excluding female pronouns, and ignoring the female gender when publishing words, subtly perpetuates the violence of exclusion and invisibility that the Masters are here to address.
In the latest email message for September 2018, I read this sentence which compelled me to write this open letter:
“They know that not all men are ready for the changes which must ensue but they know, too, that most men, by far, desire a new dimension of life, and are ready for the deeds and sacrifices which will bring it into being.”
One of the sacrifices you are being asked to make is to sacrifice the division of gender difference and dominance. Much of what you publish are the words of Benjamin Crème or his Master, who may have spoken “man” or “men” or used the pronoun “he” because that was the convention of language, male dominated language, that he grew up with.
As a publisher and organization dedicated to the emergence of Maitreya the World Teacher, you have a responsibility to examine the subtle ways that language can support the very energies that we are all working to dispel. Simply changing the use of ‘man’ and ‘men’ to ‘people’ or ‘humanity’ or ‘humans’ will go a long way to shift the energy and dissolve the grip of darkness and separation on the words we speak and read, and our consciousness. Do not fall into the trap of “that’s what he said so that’s how we have to publish it”. Clearly everything changes. Look within and know the truth.
THE GREAT INVOCATION - 1945
From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let Light stream 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 center 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 center 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.
The language of the original version of The Great Invocation was given in 1945 during a time when ‘men’ dominated our societies and were perpetually at war with each other. As a publisher, beware of resistance to or rejection of the new language that has been given.
In a 2003 meditation, a new version of The Great Invocation was given to me. You are encouraged to use and disseminate it widely. As you read or recite it, feel its energy, its power. Notice its effect on your heart and mind. Notice that the language communicates that it is done. We are not hoping or requesting or turning our power over to the invisible realms to make this happen. The Divine Feminine has come to balance the Divine Masculine expression on our beautiful planet and one way to do this is by reciting this new version of The Great Invocation. Each time this new version is spoken, it establishes this reality in the here and now:
THE GREAT INVOCATION for the 21st century
(given to TP in 2003)
From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Light streams forth into the human mind.
Light now descends on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Love streams forth into the human heart.
Christ Consciousness returns to Earth.
From the center where the Will of God is known
Let Purpose guide the little human will –
the Purpose which the Masters know and serve.
From the center which we call the race of Man
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out
and seal the door where evil dwells.
Let Light and Love and Power
Restore the Plan on Earth.
Often, when a new teaching is needed on the planet, and the holder of the original information denies or rejects it, or is not receptive to it, or protests the validity of the new or changed teaching, that teaching will be given to another vessel that is more open to receive it and communicate it into the world. This is the case in this instance. Thank you for considering it.
