Arcane School Prayer
This comes from the Arcane School, (of Alice Bailey and the Tibetan), and defines all of us:
"I am a point of Light within a greater Light.
I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of Love Divine.
I am a point of sacrificial fire, focused within the fiery will of God.
And thus I stand.
I am a way by which Men may achieve.
I am a source of strength, enabling them to stand.
I am a beam of light shining upon their way.
And thus I stand.
And standing thus, revolve and tread this way the ways of Man
And know the ways of God.
And thus I stand."
As we listen to this prayer we begin to see ourselves as follows:
I see that I am a vortex of light, and thus I stand,--revolving, knowing the ways of God, and walking the ways of Man. I see myself as a beam of light, shining upon the way of my fellow-Man. I see that--I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of Love Divine. Thus I descend into a form and return by way of urgent desire,--to know more, and to go beyond my individual hunger, desire, ambition and aggregated experience. In this way, I become larger; aggregating by serving others, aggregating by loving and being loved in return; aggregating by serving and feeling the being and the growth of the other. Thus I (who am Consciousness, Life and Desire) descend and live and serve a life of form. Thus I (who am Consciousness, Energy, Desire) return by expanding, wanting, joining, serving until I find myself embracing all others and being embraced and enfolded as one of them. This I am the unity, the ocean, the faith, the summation of molecules that we all are, urging onward to the expansion of joining of all-in-one and one-in-all. I am energy, consciousness, desire,--descending and ascending in return. Thus I travel from Heaven to Earth and Earth to Heaven, knowing that we are all in One and one in all. We are a growing, desire for Unity.
These are the prayers that I say in meditation. But what is for me is for you, and then it is for me again--for we are all a part of a network, a holographic scheme, a plan in which each of us contains the other, and is contained in the other--yet each standing in our individuality. This is a Truth in which we are embedded.
