The GREAT INVOCATION Community

The establishment of genuine, harmonious right human relations has never been as urgent in human history as it is today. There are no alternative solutions capable of resolving the profound problems of our time, which stem from the clash between the “new” that bursts forth to emerge and the “old” that strenuously tries to hinder its progress. Beyond appearances, the true challenge facing humanity is the advancement of its own consciousness—a necessary step toward approaching the threshold that leads to the discovery of “new knowledge.” Never before has this goal seemed so within reach! It is in this context that the most sensitive men and women, capable of sensing the breath of change, find a precious opportunity in the initiative proposed by this App. The daily and shared use of the Great Invocation can serve as a powerful lever to channel collective efforts toward the construction of a new temple for human life, guiding them in the right direction.

Tips for Group Action

• If possible, just before 12:00 PM{1}, withdraw 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{2}. 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.

App Instructions

1. 3D Map of the Earth.

When the App is opened, the surface of the Earth{3} that is facing the Sun at that time is displayed. The gold-colored line in the center indicates the meridian of natural solar noon{4}. 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.

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.
