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

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

[Elliott]

To have a perception based on bestowal, one must have someone in mind to bestow to. There have to be others that one wishes to give to. In an ego-driven state of mind, one is happy to give to oneself only.

[Aaron Lessin]

To shift from a desire to receive out of self-interest to a desire to receive in order to give. This change in perception no longer sees the other as separate from my egoistic self, but rather as intimately connected. My “I” expands to include the others. Their desires and needs become mine. I learn to receive in order to fulfill the other, and in the process of doing so, I become like the Creator. This drastic shift in perception changes everything.

[Diane]

From what I have learnt so far, it means to change ones intention to  recieve on behalf of someone else (to recieve in order to bestow and not for ones ego).   Love thy neighbour as thyself!

By doing this, we can become spiritually closer to the creator through equivalence of form.

 

 

[David J]

To connect our main desire together to please the creator.

[Tatjana Ristanić]

To somehow exit my self, and feel desires of others

[Brian Sachs]

Thinking about the needs of others and fulfilling them. Shifting from small desires to a great lofty goal of bringing contentment to the creator.  Seeing the internality of things and correcting my fragment of the collective soul bringing light the world.
