The Sacred Word & the Great Invocation
To sound the Sacred Word (OM) with right intention and to recite the Great Invocation as a daily mantram, using sound and meaningful formula to purify, align, and invoke and ‘distribute’ light and goodwill.
Open meditation by sounding OM slowly, with the clear intention to purify and align — and with right motive, never mechanically. Recite the Great Invocation as a daily mantram, calling Light, Love and purpose, then visualise that light streaming through you out to all as goodwill. Close by sounding OM again. Same time daily.
What it is
Within his meditation system Saraydarian teaches two related sounding practices: the Sacred Word — the OM, sounded slowly with right intention at the opening and close of meditation to purify and align the vehicles — and the Great Invocation, the short Bailey-lineage prayer recited daily as a mantram to invoke Light, Love and the divine purpose and “distribute” them outward as goodwill.
The Science of Meditation explicitly covers “the use of the Sacred Word.” Both rest on sound, repetition and meaningful intention. The practice operationalises repetition installing patterns (The Inner Creates the Outer), focused attention (The Inner Creates the Outer), the vibrational quality of states (The Inner Creates the Outer), and the linking of higher and lower (The Inner Creates the Outer).
How this differs from the Bailey entry. The companion file treats the Great Invocation as the climax of Bailey’s whole staged meditation, centred on group “distribution of light.” Saraydarian’s distinctive emphasis is the sounding of the Sacred Word (OM) as a purifying/aligning act within personal daily meditation, with the Invocation as one mantramic expression of it — and his characteristic warnings about sounding the Word with right motive and never mechanically.
The Method
- Open with the Sacred Word. From the aligned, settled state, sound OM slowly — a long, full intonation — with the clear intention to purify and lift the three vehicles. Saraydarian treats the Word as a real instrument of alignment, not a vocal warm-up.
- Sound with right motive. Before sounding, set the motive: purification, alignment, service — never personal gain or display. The Word is “used,” he warns, with care.
- Recite the Great Invocation as a daily mantram. Slowly, mentally or aloud, recite the Invocation, which calls Light “from the point of Light within the Mind of God,” Love “from the point of Love within the Heart of God,” and purpose “from the centre where the Will of God is known,” asking that “Light and Love and Power restore the Plan on Earth.”
- Visualise the distribution. After reciting, picture the invoked light streaming through you and radiating outward to humanity — an act of goodwill, not acquisition.
- Close with the Word. Seal the meditation by sounding OM again, then carry the steadiness into the day. Done at the same time daily, the repetition builds the practice and (in the tradition’s view) joins a wider group sounding. (Sourcing note: “the use of the Sacred Word” is named in The Science of Meditation; the Sacred Word = OM and the right-motive caution are Saraydarian’s, consistent with his lineage. The Great Invocation is the 1945 Lucis Trust text — short key phrases are quoted; the full prayer is summarised, not reproduced.)
Source & Lineage
The sounded OM / AUM as a sacred, purifying syllable is ancient (Patanjali, the Upanishads), and Saraydarian — Patanjali-based — carries it directly. The Great Invocation is Alice Bailey’s 1945 mantram (Lucis Trust).
Saraydarian taught both within his Ageless Wisdom meditation, stressing sound, right intention and service.
Common refinements
Sounding mechanically. Saraydarian is emphatic: the Word with no intention, or wrong motive, is misused.
- Using it for personal gain. Both Word and Invocation are framed as service/purification, not as spells for outcomes.
- Forcing the tone. Over-loud, strained toning over-stimulates; sound it full but easeful.
- Skipping the distribution. The Invocation is meant to flow outward as goodwill, not be hoarded.
