The Group Mind Stands

(Align the lower mind with the son of Mind, the Soul1 and thence with
the higher Mind. Extend this line of lightof unified threefold mind
to 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,
object3 and activity of two worlds: the world of meaning employing
loving understanding plus effort relating such world to the outer
world 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.5 Picture 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.

Sometimes called the individualised mind.

Second and third verses from Esoteric Psychology Vol.1: 83-4 by Alice A. Bailey slightly adapted.

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.

The World Teacher standing at the midway Temple of the Lord of the World. His title of office of
World 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
genuine heartfelt intent:)

Let not then love cease, in its course,

from the planetary Heart. For God IS Love.
Let the saving Force, DO its work.6 That
Understanding draws forth the Little Ones.
The resurrection Life thus pledges the Way,
and the Equal-Armed Cross, the means.
Though of these, GIVE more. That through
the giving, a New World, IS made.
For thusthe group Mind stands.
The bridge built holds. OM

Further meditation options:

After the initial alignment add the Naming 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 Recollection I know, O Lord That I too may love
and 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.

Implications here are that the disciple is advancing including recognising the first initiation is behind
him and the antahkarana is underway along with understanding and group use of the advanced rules for
initiation and the saving Force (or the Will-to-Save) as implied in the Great Invocation Stanza 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 growing
aligned and integrated lower mind and personality, humanity.
