There is only one force in the universe, namely, the Power of God, which
He sent forth through space in the form of a Word; not a single word, but the
Creative Fiat. This Creative Fiat by its sound vibration marshaled the
millions of chaotic atoms into many shapes and forms, from starfish to star,
from microbe to man; in fact, all things that constitute and inhabit the
universe. The syllables and sounds of this Creative Word are being sent forth,
one after another through the ages. They create new species and evolve the
older ones. All this goes on according to the thought and plan conceived in
the Divine Mind before the dynamic force of creative energy was sent out into
the abyss of space.
God Is the only source of power, and in Him we really, truly, and
literally live and move and have our being. It was no mere poetic sentiment
when the Psalmist said: "Whither shall I go from Thy spirit, or whither shall
I flee from Thy presence? If I ascend up into heaven, Thou art there. If I
make my bed in the.grave, behold, Thou art there. If I take the wings of the
morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there shall Thy hand
lead me and Thy right hand shall hold me."
We all know the power of thought when directed to a given purpose, and we
thus can unite our thoughts with those of all peace lovers in the following
prayer: "Our heavenly Father, according to Thy will, may the Love-Wisdom
Principle of Divine Power eradicate discord and establish harmony and
universal peace in the hearts and affairs of men."
If preferred, the Rosicrucian Fellowship Prayer may be used in response
form in the place of a silent concentration, or an oral repetition of the
Prayer may be given to break the silence if this meditation is used by a
group.
The Rosicrucian Fellowship
Prayer
Not more of Light we ask, O God,
But eyes to see what is;
Not sweeter songs, but ears to hear
The present melodies;
Not greater strength, but how to use
The power that we possess;
Not more of love, but skill to turn
A frown to a caress;
Not more of joy, but how to feel
It kindling presence near,
To give to others all we have
Of courage and of cheer.
No other gift, dear God, we ask,
But only sense to see
How best the precious gifts to use
We have received from Thee.
Give us all fears to dominate,
All holy joys to know,
To be the friends we wish to be,
To speak the truth we know;
To love the pure, to seek the good,
To lift with all our might,
AII souls to dwell in harmony
In Freedom's perfect light.
