Preparation Prompt: What does transitioning from a self-centered perception of reality to one grounded in altruism entail?

[Tydus]

This means that I shift from wanting anything for myself to connecting to all others and feeling their desires as my own. Once this happens then the reality is a perfect, abundant and loving one.

[Marcy]

To me, it means to go from a “the world revolves around me” mentality to one that recognizes that we are all one and I am a part of the whole. When I receive from the bestower, I can bestow back to him and to others which in itself is a form of this infinite cycle of receiving and bestowing.

It starts with a true act of free will : saying yes to the will of bestowal even though we still misperceive it almost completely due to our egotistical mode of reception. By embracing our conscious input with a non judgemental, curious and loving mind we learn to sense differently. It feels as though the world changed. In reality though it is our representation of the world that changed. By adapting ourselves  to the changes in a spontaneous manner we notice the difference between our new take on life and the robotic conditionning we upheld before our surrender to a more holistic & integral worldview. By sticking to faith above reason we overcome many blockades that kept throwing us back so many times before. Best of all, we find it easier to connect with our  fellows and so get a sense of the beauty of our interconnectedness. We come to appreciate our differences and feel happy when others experience beauty, wellbeing personal progress. We become more aware of our negative attitudes, feelings towards our kind. We thus can observe our habit of criticizing ourselves and others and formulate a conscious desire to stop doing that. And so we formulate a new prayer for help and start with the help from above a new cycle of healing and growth…

To shift our perception we need to feel others needs as our own.

[Kristin]

The shift begins outside of myself and how it benefits me to how to benefit others as myself.
