Preparation Question: What does it mean to connect with others? In what desire are we connected?

[KatieBug]

we are connected in our desire for unity with the creator..our desire to reveal the creator, and the desire to reach equivalence of form with the creator in bestowal. this is the desire we connect through and work inside of with one another.

What does it mean to shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal?

 

It means to go above my own reasoning on to every single step I take, every single action I carry out, every thought I think. Instead of just expecting something for me from that action. the goal is to have a human life living it for the creator: breathing the air, feeding myself, and so forth. Instead of just doing it for me, to apply tzim tzum, and to think and feel, this I am doing is for you. So that I am receiving in order to bestow.

Instead of asking, “What can I gain from this?”, we shift to asking, “What can I contribute with?”.

Nobody wants to be alone, not truly.

We all want to belong, to be accepted and understood with all our flaws and talents.

To shift from an egotistical perception of reality to a perception from bestowal, first I really need to have the wisdom in my heart that there is none else besides Him. Once this fills the heart then true spiritual connection will facilitate the shift from egoism to desire to bestow in order to love Creator and the other. I have no real experience of this but long for this to be a way of life for all.

It meaning focusing on connections with others, and seeing them as extensions of myself.

[Theresa H]

It means to see everyone and everything is connected and, to be more of a giving force rather than a receiving force.
