    The Way of the Bodhisattva 06 Generosity: The Chaste Power of Conscious Love

    The sexual force is the power of divinity to create through love, constituting the basis for generating and cultivating genuine virtues. Learn how the Buddhist paramita of generosity is taught within the three levels of religion (introductory, intermediate, and advanced); the nature of giving material goods, fearlessness, safety, protection, and spiritual teachings (dharma); the four ethers that inform the mastery of creative energy and amplification of consciousness; how its purification leads towards liberation from suffering for oneself and others; the dangers of mixing bodhichitta (tantra: sexual energy) with lust; the impediments and precarious situation of a bodhisattva who just reached the Venustic Initiation; and the reasons why bodhisattvas must perfect generosity to advance to superior levels of development.

    The Way of the Bodhisattva 05 The Aspirations, Initiations, and Humble Confessions of a Bodhisattva

    “When the mind has achieved absolute calm and silence, it can concentrate on the Inner Self. This concentration is done with the help of prayer. Pray to your Inner Self. Try to converse with your Inner Self. Remember that praying is conversing with God. You can pray without formulae; in other words, talk to God: tell him what your heart feels with infinite love.” —Samael Aun Weor, Introduction to Gnosis While sincerity takes precedence over scripted prayer, many religious traditions like Tibetan Buddhism still preserve beautiful exemplars of how to pray to, provide offerings for, and develop a personal relationship with divinity. Although languages and forms differ, the principles of prayer are universal. Therefore, they are useful to study and practice no matter one’s faith, denomination, or creed. This lecture examines the path and qualities of a bodhisattva as taught by Shantideva and Gnostic masters, focusing on initiation, bodhicitta, prayer, and selfless service to humanity. Explore practical methods and esoteric symbols: the Tree of Life, the five lower initiations, sexual alchemy, the six paramitas, and the mantra Om Masi Padme Hum, all of which emphasize meditation, introspection, and ethical transformation. By examining Shantideva’s confessional prayers, one discovers the upright attitude and longings of a bodhisattva: an initiate who perfects bodhichitta, renounces heavenly power, and aspires to the spiritual heights to better serve suffering humanity. These reflections on humility and sacrifice can guide students to develop more patience, concentration, and wisdom to truly help others and incarnate the Christic force within. See also what how any spiritual student can cultivate bodhichitta on a daily basis.

    Guided Practices | Awakening Compassion Through Concentration, Imagination, and Prayer

    This spiritual exercise is known in some gnostic circles as the prayer for the irradiation of love, a direct means for awakening, developing, and empowering bodhichitta. Such an exercise can be practiced any time to inflame and inspire the consciousness towards alleviating humanity's suffering. It is also a remedy for reducing one's own pain, because by focusing on others, we develop genuine virtue and strengthen our best qualities (because if we are blinded by our passions and desires, we are less effective in serving our communities). Learn how to develop concentration, imagination, and prayer in combination to produce a profound synthesis: the rare virtue of impactful, 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.

    The Way of the Bodhisattva 04 Cultivating Bodhichitta Through Intention and Practice

    “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.

This exercise of Ham-Sah Pranayama accompanies the lecture on Bodhichitta: Alchemical Medicine for the Soul. For further study: Ham-Sah Pranayama (Guided Practice)

    The Way of the Bodhisattva 03 Bodhichitta: Alchemical Medicine for the Soul

    While a Mahayana text, The Way of the Bodhisattva encodes tantric teachings about harnessing the creative sexual energy. Literally the seminal force in Tibetan Buddhist tantric texts, bodhichitta is the power of awakening enlightened compassion through selfless love, especially within a perfect matrimony. In other words, bodhichitta is the power of ennobled or chaste sexuality, whereby dense desires are transformed into unlikely and impactful virtues: generosity, altruism, ethics, patience, diligence, concentration, meditative serenity, and wisdom, otherwise known as the paramitas or perfections of a genuine spiritual master. It is also the fuel by which real faith is generated—the direct spiritual experience of divine, ultimate reality—which inspires any initiate to serve and sacrifice for humanity.

    Gnostic Mysteries of the Bible | Alchemical Nativity of the Magician Christ

    Christ was a divine magician (from the Persian magoosh, magushan, or high “priest”), demonstrated by his self-mastery and command over the elements (transforming water into wine, walking on water, healing the sick, etc.). His transformative abilities were also symbolized by the principles of alchemy: the transformation of base metallic substances (negative psychological qualities) into superior gold (elevated spiritual consciousness). Such mutations constitute the central tenet of spiritual rebirth, for by perfecting the creative sexual energy, an average or degenerated person can be born again as an enlightened sage (John 3:3-5). For these reasons, the Nativity was and is celebrated by gnostic magi: true priest-kings who worship and strive to resurrect Christ within their being. See how through the writings of Samael Aun Weor and an explanation about the esoteric symbology of Christmas.
