REFLECTIVE MEDITATION ON
ATTRACTING MONEY FOR HIERARCHICAL PURPOSESStage I.
After achieving a positive and intended personality quietness, formulate clearly to
yourself and in your own words, the answers to the following questions: [229]
- If money is
one of the most important things needed today for spiritual work, what is the factor which
is at present deflecting it away from the work of the Hierarchy?
- What is my
personal attitude towards money? Do I regard it as a great and possible spiritual asset,
or do I think of it in material terms?
- What is my
personal responsibility in regard to money which passes through my hands? Am I handling it
as a disciple of the Masters should handle it?

Stage II.
- Ponder on the redemption of humanity through the right use of money. Visualize the money
in the world today as
- Concretized energy, at present largely used for purely material purposes and for the
satisfaction (where the individual is concerned) of purely personal desires.
- Visualize money as a great stream of flowing golden substance, passing out of the
control of the Forces of Materialism into the control of the Forces of Light.
- Then say the following invocative prayer, with focused mental concentration and from a heartfelt
desire to meet spiritual demands:
"O thou in whom we live and move and have our being, the Power that can make all
things new, turn to spiritual purposes the money in the world; touch the hearts of men
everywhere so that they may give to the work of the Hierarchy that which has hitherto been
given to material satisfaction. The New Group of World Servers needs money in large
quantities. I ask that the needed vast sums may be made available. May this potent energy
of Thine be in the hands of the Forces of Light." [230]
- Then visualize the work to be done by those groups which claim your present allegiance
(i.e., the Arcane School and the Service Activities, or any other group which you know is
attempting to carry out the hierarchical Plan). Then, through the creative imagination and
by an act of the will, see untold and unlimited sums of money pouring into the hands of
those who seek to do the Masters' work.
- Then say aloud, with conviction and emphasis:
"He for whom the whole world waits has said that whatsoever shall be asked in his
Name and with faith in the response will see it accomplished."
Remember at the same time that "faith is the substance of things hoped for
and the evidence of things not seen." Then add:
"I ask for the needed money for... and can demand it because
'From the Center which we call the race of men
Let the Plan of Love and Light work out.
And may it seal the door where evil dwells.' "
- Close with a careful consideration of your own responsibility to the Plan, and each week
plan your financial cooperation with the Hierarchy. Be practical and realistic and know
that if you do not give, you may not ask, for you have no right to evoke that which you do
not share.
Suggestions:
- This meditation is so simple that many of you may regard it as innocuous and perhaps
futile. Used by many simultaneously, it may shatter the impasse which [231] at present
prevents adequate funds pouring into the work which the Hierarchy seeks to accomplish.
- Do this meditation every Sunday morning. Take what you have saved during the
previous week and dedicate it to the work and present it in meditation to the Christ and
his Hierarchy. Whether the sum is large or small, it can become an attractive and magnetic
unit in the Masters' plans.
- Realize the occult Law that "to those who give shall be given" so that they
can give again.
- Attempt to feel true love sweeping through you, and have the fixed intention to express
this love to all you contact. It is the great attractive and selfless agent in world
affairs.
