In a lecture from 1962, Dr. George King was asked about The Twelve Blessings raising consciousness:

“Well, does the practice of the Twelve Blessings help all these things to raise consciousness, and so on? Oh yes … I mean it wouldn’t be any good if it didn’t. The very fact that it’s some good—it is something which helps to raise consciousness; raise one’s spiritual awareness so that you become more aware of what is happening.”

Because we are all one, by raising our own consciousness we are raising the consciousness of the whole world just that little bit.
