This spiritual exercise is known in some gnostic circles as a prayer for the irradiation of love, a direct correlative of awakening, developing, and empowering bodhichitta: the enlightened compassion of selfless cognizance striving to alleviate humanity's suffering. Learn how to develop concentration, imagination, and prayer in combination to produce a profound synthesis: the rare virtue of divine compassion in service of others' wellbeing.

This exercise accompanies the lecture Cultivating Bodhichitta Through Intention and Practice from The Way of the Bodhisattva course.

“People are weary of so many theories, now they want practical matters. They do not want more theories, or more intellectual vagueness, or more exploitation. So, let us come to practical facts. Let us come to the point.” —Samael Aun Weor, The Major Mysteries Enacting enlightened, compassionate, or conscious love is different from intending it. While intention and action are different, they are both needed to awaken and develop bodhichitta. See how through an exploration of Tibetan Buddhist psychology and Gnostic exercises.
