My Friends,

I am still horrendously busy. Hope to catch up on things by Friday.

Just have time to make a comment on the current discussion of invocation.

I do not see anyone suggesting we throw a rope around some avatar's neck and drag him into our presence or service. I think we all realize that the Masters have their free will and can respond or not respond to invocation.

That said, the power of invocation is great indeed. Anyone who has had kids and has been talked into taking him to the zoo or buying a toy knows this. A parent can be invoked into responding to a child he loves in many unplanned ways that lead to actions he would have never done without the invocation.

DK points out that during World War II the power of invocation made the difference that won the war. He stated that the invocation of humanity was so intense and the cry for justice was so great that it reached the ears of avatars beyond this solar system who responded by clouding the minds of the German Scientists and enlightening the minds of the Allies.

To invoke the Avatar of Synthesis can make the difference as to whether he works through us or not. We will not force him but we can be like the child getting the attention of the parent and thus receiving a beneficial response for all involved.

You can't shake hands with a clenched fist. --Indira Gandhi
