It is well known by some followers of the New Age movement , where it is widely used as part of meditation , particularly in groups . For instance , the invocation has been used in the Findhorn Foundation community since the 1970s . In response to the September 11 attacks ( 2001 ) , the Great Invocation was used as a central element of a new daily program at Findhorn known as the " Network of Light meditations for peace " . Rosemary Keller described the Great Invocation as a call for " the Christ to return to Earth " and wrote that Bailey-related groups purchased radio and television time to broadcast the invocation as part of their mission , and that often the invocation was recited in what Keller called " light groups " , to accomplish what Bailey 's disciples considered to be attracting and focusing " spiritual energies to benefit the planet "
