Community

MAY THE REALIZATION OF HUMAN BROTHERHOOD BE THE SUPREME PURPOSE THAT FUELS THE FIRES!

ENERGY FOLLOWS THOUGHT, AND FROM WITHIN THE FIRES A NEW LIGHT IS BORN JOINING THE GREAT LIGHT THAT BRINGS THE WHITE BROTHERHOOD CLOSER TO HUMANITY.

Group Action

• If possible, just before 12:00 PM* retreat for a few minutes to a place where you can arrange yourself comfortably. Otherwise, use your ability to abstract yourself while remaining physically aware of your surroundings.

• If you prefer and if possible, you can also recite the Great Invocation out loud or in a whisper.

• Before you begin, spend a few seconds to regulate breathing and establishing inner alignment**. Try to elevate vibration as high as may be.

• Then, mentally connect with members of the Community of your geographical area who, like you, are performing the same steps at that moment.

• After having taken our place in the Community, we begin to recite together the Great Invocation, imagining that the joined voices generate a powerful and luminous choral sound.

• We give life to the words of the stanzas as we recite them; we visualize what we are evoking using our creative imagination.

• At the end of each stanza, we take a short break before moving on to the next stanza.

• At the end, we close the Great Invocation by intoning OM three times, as we send our thoughts of light and love to all beings and creatures of the Earth.

• In conclusion, we send our respectful regards to the Masters of the Spiritual Hierarchy and afterwards to all sisters and brothers of the Community who are in the world.

* However, if there are impediments, the time can be approximated as needed.

App Instructions

1. 3D Map of the Earth

When the app is opened, the surface of the Earth* that is facing the Sun at that time is displayed. The gold-colored line in the center indicates the meridian of natural solar noon**. The surface to the right of the line is the one that, with the turning of the Earth, has been exposed to the Sun most recently, while the one to the left will be next. The total exposed at the top indicates the number of Joins made by the Community in the last 24 hours. Rotating the Earth to the left, with a full turn will display the placeholders of all Joins, starting with the most recents.

* The tilt of the earth's axis is not considered.
** Determined by UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) time.

2. Geographic grid system & Placeholders

1st level:
To visualize the partecipation of the Community on the Earth's surface, is employ a geographical grid system composed of 288 cells, formed by intersection of 24 meridians and 12 parallels. Each cell's placeholder, situated at its center, displays the total number of Joins made within its geographical area. Depending on the total count, the placeholder may assume different colors. (A reference table is exposed in lower-left corner.)

2nd level:
To examine individual Joins in detail, zoom in on the specific area of interest until the cell placeholder disappears to be repplaced by the individual placeholders indicating the precise geographic locations from which the Joins originated.

3. How to Make the Join

To participate one must press "Join", the button located at the bottom of the Earth page. The button becomes active at 12:00 PM, and may be used within the next 12 hours (in case a network connection is not available after reciting the Great Invocation.)

To the right of the button is the option to select the number of participants (up to a maximum of 7) for a group. In this case, the placeholder's color displayed will be red to differentiate it from blue, the color assigned to the default Join for a single person.
