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

[Oliver]

Being able to see the interconnectedness of things that dont seem to have any relation to each other.

[Diana]

The transition from a self-centered perception of reality to one grounded in altruism involves seeing everything outside of us as actually being part of ourselves, and relating to it in the same way we relate to ourselves.

[Jon Alto]

We always do things for a reason, someone or something. Lets ask ourselves, why, or for who, do I do those things? When we are more and more aware of our own patterns, and where those intentions originate, we are able to reprogram ourselves, and consciously replace the ‘why’ of our actions for something greater. Our actions still depend on our egoism, but originate from an altruistic force.

[Cynthia]

It means shifting from experiencing life as “me versus the world” to sensing oneself as part of an interconnected system. Motivation moves from personal gain towards reducing harm and supporting balance without erasing the self. Pleasure comes less from acquiring and winning and more from fairness and contribution.

[Linda]

Self-centered perception organises reality around ‘me’, while altruism perception organises reality around truth, balance and collective well being.

[Kyro]

Transitioning from a self-centered perception of reality to one grounded in altruism entails perceiving the needs of another creature as your own and thus treating the other as you would treat yourself.
