Instructions

Each Litany starts at the beginning of the day at midnight. At midnight read and contemplate the complete current Litany along with its relationship to the corresponding Litany and Rays. During all the days of the Litanies please play the Great Invocation or any of the Soul Therapy music as they all apply to the same understanding, The Great Invocation is the best for all the Litany Meditations as it says exactly the same thing, its outcome is the same: the ending of all evil. Use your Etheric Weaver throughout the days to contemplate and meditate on this Invocation and its Ray qualities. Throughout the days study the Ray qualities. At midnight, on the day before the Litanies change, follow the same guidelines as above, shifting the focus to the new Litany and its corresponding Ray and Litany relationships always bearing in mind the purpose of the Litanies as a whole: the ending of all evil and establishing of Peace on Earth.

Purpose of the Litanies

The main focus of the Litanies is conquering Satan by dethroning him, and conquering the process of being asleep while alive. Because as long as people are asleep Satan rules. When they wake up they choose to seek Christ, and find out that He has reincarnated, and then people choose to become a disciple to Christ. That's what the Litanies are for. And to understand that life means absolutely nothing unless that is what they are doing. Because this is the purpose of the human incarnation. Every human hears the words of the Litanies when they are born as a human, from being a plant or an ant or an animal. They are here to overthrow human nature and the King of Earth, who is Satan.

It was the work of the Christ to show the meaning of the Cross, and to teach the great lesson of sacrifice which means that none shall seek Freedom till all are saved. He promised to remain with us always, renouncing his Nirvana until the end of the world, and dwelling with His beloved children - the publican and the sinner - in the mysterious inner places of consciousness. And those who follow Him must do likewise, and must enter into the state of the desire of birth each year with a yearly increase of the will to help the world. Thus the desire changes its character by degrees, and becomes selfless instead of selfish. The soul of man, and the soul of the world, the soul of nature and of sub-Nature, all pass alike through the birth-throes.

In December, the birth month, there are seven great and vital Ceremonies, filling the whole month with their observances. The first is the Desire of Birth, the commencement of the mystic story. It is so remote from human and material life that its impossible to describe it in human language. It is witnessed consciously only by the spiritual being before its descent into matter. The disciple who seeks to take part in it while living in the body must endeavor to recall to his memory the litany which he heard chanted in the spiritual sphere from which he came when he sought the experience of human life.

The Ceremony of the Desire of Birth lasts for four days and nights, beginning on 1st December. During this time it is necessary for the disciple to contemplate all that is implied in its litany.

At each midnight, and at the hour of dawn, he should meditate upon the words of the litany, endeavoring to obtain understanding in respect to them. They are very difficult and obscure, so much so as to seem meaningless to the man in material life if he tests them by the light of intellect. But the disciple who belongs to one of the occult schools, and who desires to become a conscious part of the Divine whole, must enter into the higher psychic, telepathic life of the world at this sacred season, and apprehend from year to year more and more of the mystery of the divine life in himself, and its union with the material.

Seven Rays - Seven Litanies

Try not to see the Litanies as separate daily Invocations but the bigger view, understanding the relationships between the Litanies and between the Rays. Study all the days and how they compliment each other and listen to the track of the Great Invocation to receive an impression of the larger picture. The First Litany is the First Ray: the Logos, the Self-Born, the Planetary Logos, which is a powerful energy. In the first simple sentence of the Litany ‘I desire birth’ it collects all of that energy to invoke a purpose, the working out of a Plan. In the end, there is no longer Satan as King, ruling the dominating forces of Earth, we have Christ, liberating and awakening Buddha-Nature and all those Seven Rays manifesting as Soulful qualities with no glamours. If the Litanies are put together in this way then you receive the manifestation of revelation of the Fourth Ray. It is why Buddha Maitreya talks about World Peace, not just personal peace but World Peace, how is this brought about? The only way is through magic, through Christ Mass. All Masters of Loving Wisdom do this work like Christ, and during this time it creates Christ Mass or Michael’s Mass. To do the Litanies is to join with this group and with this work. When understood, it is a profoundly powerful Invocation that brings the incarnation of Christ and the ending of evil. The Litanies end on December 25th with the birth of Christ, which we all celebrate together.

The Ceremony of Desire of Birth

December 1st-4th

I. I desire birth.

II. I am ready to be burned and consumed; for that is what birth is.

III. I am ready to be naked and unprotected, and to suffer from my nakedness; for that is what life is.

IV. I am ready to make the pilgrimage through matter in darkness and in fire, so that the circle of the uncreate shall become one with the circle of the create.

December 7th-10th

I. I devote the spirit that is being born within me to the service of the spirit of love.

II. In this coming year I will dwell in the sanctuary of love; I will not offend against the law of love.

III. I will remember that I have not to ask love but to give love; that I have to give of my very self to the world.

IV. I will molest none; I will forgive all. In return, I demand that the spirit to be born in me this month shall be beloved of the brotherhood of souls, and shall be recognized as a soul of love.

The Feast of Love

December 11th-14th

I. Love is the only King; the only Ruler, the only Creator

II. Hate and Satan one; rebel, anarchist, destroyer.

III. Love’s action is what men call charity.

IV. The action of hatred is known as malice.

V. Love has only one punishment for the sinner, and that is forgiveness.

VI. To live according to the law of love is a hundred thousand times harder than to live according to the law of hatred; to this great effort I pledge myself. To live according to the law of love means the acceptance of every evil as a good. By that acceptance, if it is done in the spirit of love, the evil becomes good. It is to the conversion of evil into good in our natures, in the natures of others, and in the affairs of life, that we devote ourselves. Henceforth we do not avoid evil, we love it and transform it. By loving it we make ourselves a part of the creative principle which is love.

VII. To this great effort the disciples pledge themselves during the Feast of Love, and bind themselves together to unite in it. It cannot be done alone.

V. I am a soldier in the army, and from the one who is next to me I cannot swerve by ever so small a fraction; for if I did, the march of the whole army would be disordered. I remain, therefore, immovably associated with my fellow soldiers.

VI. I know that I take upon myself the responsibility of the whole when I pass consciously into union with it.

VII. I am ready, without complaint, to be cast down from the place in which I stand, should I swerve or flinch under any trial falling on those next me; for I know that my strength can never be exhausted, since my comrades also stand unswervingly by my side; and while united we cannot fall.

I. The divine satisfaction has fallen upon me.

II. I give because my heart is too full;
it cannot contain all that it has.

III. I am conscious that love is infinite, though I can hold but one
drop. Therefore do I cut down the little tree which was the expression of my personal growth.

IV. Here on the floor of the place of learning, lies the myrtle of my life; then it will wither, and it will be swept away when the floor is prepared for the next great Feast. I am satisfied that this is so, for I have entered into all.

V. I myself am nothing and have nothing.

VI. Yet I have all and I am all.

Ray Relationship

Ray Relationships

December 1st - The Ceremony of Desire of Birth - First Ray

December 25th - The Birth Day - Seventh Ray

The First Ray and First Litany are like the pyramid capstone, and the Seventh Ray and the Seventh Litany like the pyramid base. The desire of birth is the reincarnation of Christ, the Planetary Logos.

December 5th - The Ceremony of Terror - Second Ray

December 21st - The Feast of Satisfaction - Sixth Ray

The Second Ray and the Sixth Ray correspond to the second initiation, the energy of the United States. The two Rays and Litanies personally relate. Everything works in a complementary way in an Invocation. If you look at the Ray energies they have the relationships of devotion - service, dependence - independence. Perfect service is being nothing, a mantle of service, a mantle of grace, like a chalice.

December 7th - The Ceremony of Consecration - Third Ray

December 15th - The Feast of Union - Fifth Ray

Now, instead of a veiler, the Fifth Ray becomes the revealer and the energy of extreme personal reverence. The Fifth Ray also opens up the Third Ray, seeing everything and applying everything. The Fifth Ray de-crystalizes and re-crystalizes, perfect devotion to re-crystalizing and restructuring.

December 11th - The Feast of Love - Fourth Ray

This is the Fourth Litany relating to the Forth Ray, which represents Earth. This Litany is the outcome, it represents the midpoint which is the outcome of everything: 'Love is the only King, the only Ruler, the only Creator.' The Great Invocation is the perfect complementation to the Litanies as it says exactly the same thing, its outcome is the same: the ending of all evil.
