NgoziPartícipeShifting my perspective from “what’s in it for me?” to “what’s in it for the Creator?” I don’t know how to be grounded in altruism in a spiritual manner and not a corporeal manner (in day to day life, since we are all egoists). I am hoping Kabbalah can teach me this.

MsNandi MariePartícipeFor me the self-centered mindset ONLY thinks about what benefits it. The mentality is “look at me” how talented, intelligent, beautiful I am. Look at what I have achieved in life, be it materially, educationally or even spiritually. This is NOT what the Creator wants for his creation
He wants us to love and consider others. We must change/correct our inherent egoistic nature which is one of receiving only for oneself to a nature of bestowal, which imitates the quality of the Creator. We do this by our study of Kabbalah and adopting a higher force or Upper Light that transforms human nature.

EllemaPartícipePerhaps it’s as simple as less is more. I can slave away to own a home on a quarter acre of land that enslaves me like a prisoner in a box or I can choose to live differently and gain the entire world as my backyard.

csillaPartícipetransition in my native language implies a temporary thing, which may fit well with the weaning process from self-centered perception to “anything else”… imo, “anything else” necessarily leads away from selfishness and that could either be done alone through ‘ignoring’ one’s selfish desires and considering one’s pov irrelevant, and such similar mind-tricks and strategies or decisions… and, it seems likely that by weaning one’s self from selfishness, it seems that the developmental stages of easing into a perception of reality that is grounded in altruism would come naturally without specifically thinking of other people 🙂 . However, it would seem more efficient to add simultaneously the basic idea of ‘altruism’…, which could even be considered, at first, as a means of becoming less selfish, since prioritizing others’ needs implies being less egocentric…, but, this transition from one to the other entails … after thinking about it like this a bit, i think it sounds like a lot of work, so…, from what i’ve learned from KabU so far, i’d like to suggest it entails help from the Reforming Light, which seems to me the happiest way of weaning and glowing. I look forward to seeing what happens !
