I found a practice: Get a picture that inspires you, put it on your altar and everyday look at that picture, and contemplate this concept of Bodhichitta, and pray for that deity to help you to understand it. Close your eyes and visualize that picture, that image, and make it real in your mind. Imagine that deity coming into your heart and mind, becoming you; you become that, so that deity can help you to act with love and compassion in a way a Buddha would, a way a god would. This is how you can start to teach your mind stream, by the intervention of these deities. They will help you. I am talking about truly elevated deities,related with the Christic path, the direct path.
If I choose Samael Aun Weor or Jesus and have Him in my heart all the time, then I must discontinue chanting om namah Shivai like I usually do? is there a way I can use this mantra (or other) with practice, or it's not recommendable?
For example if someone chooses Padmasambhava, can he chant his mantra together with this practice?
this mantra om namah Shivaya helps a lot, but I don't know how, when I used the mantra klim krishnaya...it helped me be more mindful, but is it right to change the mantra someone uses?
