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

[Eugenio]

Transitioning from a self-centered perception of reality to one grounded in altruism entails shifting and constantly maintaining the intention to perceive the broader reality beyond the material world of the five senses.

The ego is wrapped up in Our World and fights the higher will. It chases shiny new objects all day long,  It is constantly scanning for the next best thing, news, idle distractions, etc. It defends against threats to its comfort and gloats in success when times are good. It’s never satisfied.

When the Point In The Heart awakens, our spiritual nature starts to shed the cocoon of the ego. it sees the limitations of the ego, becomes dissatisfied with that and begins strengthening intention to ascend to the spiritual world where it belongs.

That is our how we rise to achieve equivalence of form to the Creator.

I think transitioning from a self-centered perception of reality to one grounded in altruism entails gradually recognizing the limitations of our egoistic perception and reaching the desire to correct our intention. Instead of perceiving everything only through my own desire to receive, I begin learning to rise above my ego and perceive the desires of others as my own.

[Aguinaldo]

It means that we have shifted reality from one perspect to another altruistic perspective.

Is it the integration of everything and everyone into the sense of self?

[Angel]

I think it is reminding myself we came from one soul, and to treat others the way I want to be treated.

I think that the first step is courageous honesty in what emotions and thoughts arise in us when we are in the presence of the feelings, deeds and realities of others. To be clear when we compare (ego), envy (ego), judge (ego), desire (ego). It is important not to fall into despair at this point but maybe to be a good scientist – observing without self-judgement (still ego) but with clarity and curiosity to experiment with how it feels to be without these reactions, and what I can bring in place of them into this situation.
