Cultivating a positive internal state is necessary for the Gnostic path. This means to be as conscious as possible, through the esoteric practices, meditation, breathwork, and relaxation. Allow time to slow down, and thereby slow the perpetual chain of causes and effects creating our tangled web of karma.
A positive internal state is not an artifice but an acceptance of reality which includes suffering and all the complexities of the human condition.
There is a Buddhist prayer known in the Gnostic teachings as the Prayer for the Irradiation of Love. With this prayer we pray that all the points of light which are the essences of all beings may have happiness, joy, and peace. With this prayer we want to reach into our hearts and find the sincere yearning that all beings may be free from suffering and find the joy and peace of their true divine nature.
As we practice this we can imagine and perceive a beautiful blue light emanating from our hearts, from our own essence and expanding out and connecting with all the essences on this Earth. This prayer can be chanted three times followed by the mantra AUM three times.
May all beings be happy!
May all beings be joyful!
May all beings be in peace!
