Invoking the Divine: Using Spiritual Invocation

What is an invocation?
In short, a true spiritual invocation is a phrase charged with spiritual magnetism. It embodies, behind the words so to speak, a transcendental dimension of awareness.  Invocations instantiate Sacred Space.

One who repeats an invocation with feeling, sincerity and belief makes themselves a receptacle for the magnetism or truth which the invocation embodies.  The power of an invocation is "TO BE", in other words as you say it manifests.  Regular use of a spiritual invocation builds an atmosphere of emotion, thought, and spirit from the all-pervading life into your present life. The practice and use of spiritual invocation and affirmation utilizes the principle called: take one step toward God and God will take ten steps toward you.

Here are a few invocations you may enjoy using:

May the holy ones whose pupils we aspire to become show us the light we seek, give us the strong aid of their compassion and their wisdom.

There is a peace that passeth all understanding; it abides in the hearts of those who live in the eternal.
