ESOTERIC PENTECOST SUNDAY
PREPARATION
The Pentecost celebration is traditionally begun at 9 am on Sunday in your time zone - or a derivative of 9 such as 3 or 6. Remember to tune into the 'living reality of Pentecost' during these times and throughout the resonant hours of the day, evening or night. The energies will increase in magical beauty, strength and power. Angelic/Devic life is magnetically attracted to participate and more so when invited and invoked.
"Properly prepared we must always BE"
Individually and as a group, our spiritual practices have prepared us for a “unified group approach to divinity.” Ritual observances lend immeasurable power to these group approaches. Together as a group we have been oriented in one direction, engaged in spiritual study, meditation, visualization, contemplation, deep inner listening and magical building. We aligned and attuned with the Group Soul and the "Great Potency of the Inner Groups" ... sounding the Great Invocation — the "world prayer" for the upliftment of Humanity … and we aligned and strengthened the life and reality of the Soul in the world of form while facing the obstacles and strife of our times.

A Communion of Souls
“The keynote of the New World Religion is Divine Approach: "Draw near to Him and He will draw near to you" is the injunction, emanating in new and clear tones from the Hierarchy today." (POH, 158)
Long ago when Christ openly walked the Earth, men and women gathered in the “upper room” to meet as Souls. They met in the chamber for “holy” communion. They met in "Group Approach to Divinity.” They met in the spirit of Christ, their hearts and minds unified and vibrationally lifted. They unified their spiritual qualities and powers, and in one accord sent forth a united invocation to the “Most High God”.
The Holy Spirit answered, descending upon them like a great rush of wind … "tongues of living fire" shone above their heads.
"And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." (Acts 2:1.)
‘Holy Communion’ is a meeting within the inner 'chamber’ with the most ‘High God'.
Inner Communion is a “Heart” experience imparting gifts of spirit ~
Loving Understanding and Divine Comprehension.

ORIENTING THOUGHTS
“Pentecost is the universal dissemination of the Christ Consciousness throughout all time in the heart of every human being”.
“The fact of the resurrection will be demonstrated during the next few centuries, and the Living Christ will walk among men and lead them onward towards the Mount of Ascension. The Pentecost will become truth. All men will come under the tide of inspiration from on high, and though they may speak with many tongues, they will all understand each other.” (EOH, 470)
"God, in the person of Christ and His Hierarchy would draw nearer to His people; God, through the instrumentality of the Buddha, would reveal His eternal light and evoke our intelligent cooperation; God, through the spiritual Hierarchy and through that centre where the will of God is known, would bring humanity to the point of resurrection and to a spiritual awareness which would bring about goodwill towards men and peace on earth. The will of God transcendent would be carried out through the medium of God immanent in man; it would be expressed in love in response to the work of Christ; it would be intelligently presented on earth because the minds of men would have been illumined as the result of their united invocation, the unity of their effort and the oneness of their understanding.
It is for this that humanity waits; it is for this that the churches must work; it is these qualities and characteristics which will condition the New World Religion." (Problems of Humanity)
“Come therefore unto me, and learn of the truth in you. The mind we share is shared by all … , and as we see them truly they will be healed. Let your mind shine with Mine upon their minds, and by our gratitude to them make them aware of the light in them. This light will shine back upon you and on the whole Sonship, because this is your proper gift to God … [WHO] will accept it and give it to the Sonship, because it is acceptable … This is true communion with the Holy Spirit, Who sees the altar of God in everyone, and by bringing it to your appreciation, calls upon you to love God and Creation. You can appreciate the Sonship only as One. This is part of the law of creation, and therefore governs all thought.” ACIM, 123
Prepared, we now make our deep inner contact, through which ‘invocation and evocation” make possible the manifestation of the Holy Spirit.

ENTERING THE INNER TEMPLE
♫
ʘ Let us gather our forces in the “upper room” as we reach toward the True Soul Self … sounding the sacred Word OM, we bring our focus into the ‘life, light and love’ of the "Soul that is the Self".
OM
Take three slow, full breaths deep within the Silence of the Observer
Let us recognize the energy filling our awareness as the life presence in the innermost altar of the most High God.
OM
ʘ Again sounding the sacred Word, OM, imagine (intuit, see, sense) a great Universal Heart appearing before us — that we recognize as the Heart of the Christ … pure Love and Light streaming from the Lord of Love to the Heart of All here assembled … suffusing all Souls with Universal Love.
ʘ Let us hear the Words:
“Draw near to Me and I will draw near to You”
(Take some time to enter into this living truth)
OM
ʘ Gathered around the Christ are Holy Companions — the Masters of Love-Wisdom … Behind Them hover a vast assembly of Angelic presences and energies … and behind These a still greater potency — Sanat Kumara, the Ancient of Days — Youth of Endless Summers.
ʘ Surrounding all the above burns the fire of the Holy Spirit — Fohatic Essence — great Maternal Being sub-standing all forms …
Known by many Names in cultures of the world, Her all-encompassing, inter-penetrating Embrace — ancient yet familiar, softly pure, infinitely wise, safe and known … flows through every space, every cell, every fiber of our Being.
Let us open to Her Welcoming Presence deep within the core of our Being.
ʘ Thence, in the ever present Now, the silent Power of a planetary OM sounding, we find ourselves inside a great assembly of Communion. A celebration feast led by the Lord of Love is underway … Whose "Planetary Heart" beckons ALL to His table … to enact a ceremonial ritual of ancient origin known to mankind ~ as we hear the Words:
Lift up your cup — take, drink from the waters of Life laid out before you that have been Blessed by me. Do this in remembrance of Me.
Likewise, lift up your bread — take, eat the bread of life given to you and the peoples of Earth in my Name — Blessed by me. Do this in remembrance of me.
As we drink the wine of infinite love and eat the manna of the stars ~ we are nourished for growth and ultimate Union.
OM / AMEN
ʘ Filled with joyous expectancy, Christ continues with invocative appeal … An invocation to the Holy Spirit …
Our minds turned inward to the Secret Place … an inner temple of pure vibration
Every invocation, swiftly answered and opened, joining one unified movement.
Awareness whole, Hearts pure — we join the Christ invoking Spirit ~ in One speech of Invocation deep ~
Veni Sancte Spiritus - Come Holy Spirit
Veni Sancte Spiritus - Come Holy Spirit
Veni Sancte Spiritus - Come Holy Spirit
(we pause in meditation deep)
ʘ Beyond the temple walls ... forms disappear … as Holy Spirit streams through the Christic Field … penetrating layers through and through with unstoppable Holy Fire pouring through the Chalice Crown of all assembled … every atom, every cell drenched with life … touching, electrifying, suffusing, warming …
We ~ opened to the power of Pentecost ~ now receive …
"Life-giving" … “love sustaining” … “fiery substance” ... "the universal dissemination of the Christ Consciousness throughout all time in the heart of every human being" ...
… waves ripple through Humanity ... through all the worlds … all forms made by man and not made by man
Tongues of fire can now be felt and seen above every human crown,
As separation ends … Spiritual understanding informs all hearts …
Spiritual comprehension fills the mind … No words spoken … Communion deep, shared and known.
Blessed are we who are living this day in the Fire of Love and Essential Divinity ~
for in this Field a promise is told and a secret revealed for Humanity’s future to unfold.
OM
Let us Meditate as the energies settle into our group Consciousness.
Meditation: In the deepening Silence of Holy Communion ... in the field uplifted by the Holy Spirit’s Presence ... the abiding Fire of the Christ Spirit and the Company of Heaven, we contemplate:
“This is a feast unlike indeed to those the dreaming of the world has shown.
For here, the more that anyone receives, the more is left for all the rest to share.
The Guests have brought unlimited supply with Them. And no one is deprived or can deprive.
Here is a feast the Father lays before His Son [Humanity], and shares equally with him [All}.
And in Their sharing there can be no gap in which abundance falters and grows thin.
Here the lean years enter not, for time waits not upon this feast, which has no end.
For love has set its table in the space ...” ACIM, 598
OM
To these words and promise we bear witness –
"Lo, I am with you all the days, even until the end of the world"
(EOH, 356)
OM

A FUTURE JOURNEY OF COMMUNION
֍
A United Nations Creative Meditation — Now and for the Future
Building a Communion of Peace by the Nations of the World
Esoterically, Pentecost is a “Coming to Union” — a Communion of all peoples, nations and Faiths, wherein one common-union is universally wrought through oneness — innately divine. No words need ever be spoken in the communion of the Heart of God that knows all, feels all, sees all, understands all, and unifies all in a greater synthesis.
Let us now distribute Pentecost energies received on behalf of the world by envisioning and stepping into a Culture of Peace embodied by and lived through all the Nations of the World.
A brief but potent creative meditation now follows for building 'a better world we would all want to see and live in — a world in union'.
֍
Let us now imagine a day in Humanity’s future — a sacred ritual is about to begin. The scourge of war has ended. All the world leaders (nearing 200 Nations), deeply Soul inspired, are ritually gathered round an enormous oval table. The purpose for gathering the global community is to celebrate the Communion of Brotherhood – the Desire of all Nations for perpetual World Peace.
In the center of this table is a large crystal Chalice — a Christ Chalice filled with pure spring water from an eternal spring deep within the primal well of Earth. This world communion Chalice is charged with the vital waters of Love from the Heart of God and Life more abundant awaiting Humanity.
Blending with the Chalice of clear blue water is a stream of etheric light emanating from a golden triangle around which hover Three great BEINGS — The Spirit of Peace ~ the Avatar of Synthesis ~ and the Buddha — each holding a space upon a point of the Triangle ~ with the Christ standing firm in the Center.
Angels gathered fill the dimensions of this inner space, creating a great continuity of downpouring and uprising energy.
The energy in the room is filled with Joy. The Blessed Ones are focused upon the Christ, streaming Their Unique quality of energy to the Christ in support of His mission on Earth for the next Millennia. A serene expectancy now fills the atmosphere from all here present, bearing witness.
In the Presence of the Christ as World Teacher and Lord of Love and Light, the Nation's leaders re-commit to expressing “The Good” for all their people and the Good for All the Peoples of the Earth — for Right Human Relations to prevail. Each leader sounds a keynote of Unity from the One Great Heart of Love.
A ritual celebration of unity and brotherhood now begins. Good Will and the "Will-to-Good for All" permeate the atmosphere and condition the proceedings, resulting in supreme reverence and respect, true dialogue and deep understanding of the issues facing each leader. As Soul leaders of their respective Nations, they begin by recognizing one another for their nation’s achievements in the past year on behalf of world Good. Pledges of support are offered for each nation’s needs and solutions are brought forward. World problems are surfaced and brought to solution ‘as if by one mind, one heart and one unified will’ flowing through our "One Humanity and One World".
Each world Executive — a Soul-infused leader, drinks a cup of pure water from the central Chalice, infused and magnified by the Christ and Avatars, instilling in ‘their water’ the Water of Life with the Power to "Make all things New". The Words now spoken come from one spiritual speech. A fullness of understanding arises as each sees into the needs of the other through the language of the Heart, knowing only Unity, Goodwill and a true realized Brotherhood of Light, of Love and Holy Will.
This Light and Good Will now extends to and through the Soul of Humanity, drawing it forth, drinking deep of the abiding PEACE that rises from Right Human Relations.
Pause
This Day of Pentecost “signifies a gathering of spiritual powers for the purpose of harvesting the Fruits of Spirit" and dedicating those Fruits in service — living a spiritually ordered life that expresses the higher order and pattern of the Soul brings the lightness and Joy of being en rapport with the spiritual Hierarchy.
We recognize problems as potentials to be solved … re-sol-ved … solutionized … by the Soul which is aligned and over-lighted by the “Son (Sun) of Divine Love.”
Let us remember on this Day of Pentecost that the “universal dissemination of Christ Consciousness throughout all time in the heart of every human being” brings about the end of separation.
~ At-Onement will be realized ~
Let us NOW project the fruits of Pentecost forward — into the Future, sending the energy that has been gathered to Peace Day in September for the opening of the United Nations general assembly purposed to “Whole” the world.
Let this Peace that our “Acceptance brings and makes Real” — be Given as Peace pervading all Humanity — encompassing the whole of Earth.
We sound the Sacred Word ~ OM ~ making the vision real.
"Let it Be Done".
◊
In closing, the Communion Feast of Esoteric Pentecost, let all assembled on this Day sound the Great Invocation — a World Prayer led by the Christ and Spiritual Hierarchy.
(Words to The Great Invocation below combine the alternate version [in brackets])

THE GREAT INVOCATION
From the point of Light within the Mind of God
Let light stream forth into the minds of men [into human minds],
Let Light descend on Earth.
From the point of Love within the Heart of God
Let love stream forth into the hearts of men [into human hearts],
May Christ [the Coming One] return to [appear on] Earth.
From the center where the Will of God is known

The purpose which the Masters [the Great Ones] know and serve.
From the center which we call the race of men [the human race]
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.
Sound the sacred Word, Om (embodying the Light of God)
Sound the sacred Word, Om (embodying the Love of God)
Sound the sacred Word, Om (embodying the Life and Will of God)
~ And Help Us To Do Our Part ~

A NEW WORLD CULTURE OF PEACE AMONG NATIONS
We can repeat this creative meditation ritual as often as we are called for building a new world and culture of Peace — of Light and Love and higher Will — into manifestation. It would be especially potent during the new and full moon times when the Hierarchy works with Humanity, and in Gemini – during the Festival of the Christ and Humanity, and again in Libra when the UN General Assembly meets whose Keynote is Peace.
Behold the architecture of Sacred Space — a modern temple pre-figured with an Upper Chamber and firmament above.
The Avatar of Synthesis works through the United Nations General Assembly. Let us hold in heart-mind the full Potential of this modern temple and its spiritual purpose to assemble leaders for the Souls of Nations working on behalf of the One Soul of Humanity, world Good and the Earth we love.
In this upper Chamber open to the firmament above, Spirit descends upon the assembly unified in purpose!
The United Nations Charter was signed by delegates from 50 Nations (the number 5 of Pentecost) during the solar full moon of Gemini on June 26, 1945 in San Francisco. It was the conclusion of the United Nations conference on International Organization. The next day, the delegates gathered across the Golden Gate Bridge in Muir Woods National Forest (in Mill Valley, CA) — a living sanctuary of nature, to celebrate the historical event of the founding of the United Nations. A plaque commemorating the event is placed in Muir Woods where the 50 delegates had gathered and stood in joy and celebration for the forming of the United Nations.
Master DK described the period leading up to the signing of the charter as the “cycle of conferences.” We need to see those conferences from the soul’s perspective, that people of various nations gathered to talk to one another, worked to understand one another and come to agreement on how to end the scourge of war and promote well-being for all citizens of our One Humanity and One Earth.
Today, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals represent the next phase forward for unfolding the fuller potential of the United Nations. “The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future.” Irrespective of the effectiveness of the UN today, it is a significant part of the Plan for Humanity and will one day come into full fruition as the souls of all nations flower through “soul relations.”
Let us note the significance of the fact that at the same Gemini Full Moon of 1945, by permission of the Lord of the World, Christ gave to Humanity The Great Invocation, thereby releasing a new energy into the world for strengthening the Soul of Humanity, but which also posed some dangers as it stimulated both the good and the unredeemed aspects of humanity’s lower nature.
Let us REFLECT on the above significances at this time now.
LET US BE COGNISANT and VIGILANT
In the days ahead, let us be aware and vigilant of the energies invoked and evoked that are now circulating and expressing anew.
The ongoing custom of Pentecost Trinity observes Sunday, Monday and Tuesday as part of Pentecost. Some may want to repeat this ceremonial ritual (or the earlier days rituals) each morning or evening, for three days, to confirm and extend it. Angelic workers stand ready and on-call to participate during this period.
In the orthodox tradition, Pentecost begins at Midnight Saturday night with an all-night vespers into Sunday.
THE SEVEN-DAY SOLAR FULL MOON RITUAL OF GEMINI FOR 2025 — now begins
The energies invoked are held intact and in abeyance (suspension) until the Gemini Solar Full Moon.
This Year’s GEMINI SOLAR FULL MOON is June 11. To participate in the 7-Day Full Moon Ritual, go to the tab titled: 7-Day Full Moon Rituals.
June 11: 12:44 AM PDT; UTC/GMT 7:44 AM; 3:44 AM EDT
DAY ONE of the 7-Day FM RITUAL OF GROUP APPROACH TO DIVINITY BEGINS TODAY!
Let Us Be aware of the circulation at the top of the head expanding. Pentecost is a world-wide celebration inclusive of all dedicated light-workers committed to “right human relations” and disseminating love and light throughout the world. Our “hands and feet” are strengthened in ~
“the universal dissemination of the Christ consciousness throughout all time in the heart of every human being.”
ABOUT THE GREAT INVOCATION: "The great Invocation or Prayer does not belong to any person or group but to all Humanity. The beauty and the strength of this Invocation lies in its simplicity, and in its expression of certain central truths which all men, innately and normally, accept—the truth of the existence of a basic Intelligence to Whom we vaguely give the name of God; the truth that behind all outer seeming, the motivating power of the universe is Love; the truth that a great Individuality came to earth, called by Christians, the Christ, and embodied that love so that we could understand; the truth that both love and intelligence are effects of what is called the Will of God; and finally the self-evident truth that only through humanity itself can the Divine Plan work out." (Problems Of Humanity, 165/6)
