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

[Peter]

The concept is still a bit nebulous to me, but I feel like I am slowly starting to grasp it. I hope to gain a better understanding this week, as well as an understanding of how to apply it.

To shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal means:

To intentionally rise above the default human nature of fish love; i.e. selfishness and exploitation at the expense of others and nature to a loftier position of  love for neighbor as oneself; and only by the help of the Creator.

[Marko Podgorsek]

It means that we have to ‘reject’ everything we can perceive or feel or think and choose the alternative that we don’t perceive in any way. It’s like leap of faith. In other words, we choose something above our nature. We learn this wisdom so that we reduce the ‘anxiety’ and we choose the alternative, because we learn that Creator is Good that does Good and that all will be well.

Shifting from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal means to forego self-love for the  love for one’s fellow.

[Ricki]

to shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal means the process of learning how to correctly relate to nature above one’s ego and will to receive, all for the sake of Love. The shift implies there is a desire to come closer to the creator, and to obtain this one must adjust their intention to replicate His qualities.

[Peter]

It means replacing the intention to receive for one’s own sake with the intention to receive for the Creator’s sake.
