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

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

A shift in identity — from believing what my physical eyes and ego see (which is a reality made up of separate objects), to believing that part of me which knows I belong to a greater whole and which senses that we are connected.

It means shifting from seeing others as the enemy to seeing them as myself.

It means you have capitulate in front of your egoistic desires. You have accepted your egoistic defeat. You have tried everything you could imagine and has lost all egoistic options. You are empty. You have nothing to loose. And than you are ready to try alternative perception. At least taste it. And after it work on developing necessary properties to be able to process desire (which is neutral) in different mode (with new developed properties) – bestowal. Always fullfilled by serving others/Creator.

It is important that when bestowing you need to have the right intentions, similarly when receiving the intent needs to be the same enabling you to give/bestow.

moving from receiving for my own benefit or bestowing with the intention of receiving pleasure to receiving in order to bestow for the Creator.

I believe in making such a shift from receiving for one’s self  to bestowing and thinking of others means moving closer to equivalence of form with our Creator.

Connecting with others is a way of creating the space needed for the ego to step aside. Connection to others desires instead of my own and to create a deeper connection to the transforming light.
