      In corporeal terms, this shift essentially means living each day in the service of the needs of others before your own.

      In Kabbalistic terms, it is the complete and total nullification of egoistic desires, aspiring only to desires that aim to bestow upon the Creator or his creation (also the Creator). This is a higher level than just the actions that are taken in the corporeal definition mentioned above, as the inner desires inside of a person must be directed to completely reject any and all sensations for pleasure to the extent that they cannot be enjoyed outside of motivation of self fulfillment – which below the Machsom is virtually all of our desires.

      Only after help from above can we actually begin to feel and perceive reality as a force of bestowal. Until then we must maintain a constant aspiration to be brought into this state and a Faith in the Creator that all of the events in our lives are meant for the purpose of bringing us into this state.

      To experience the world more outside his ego.

      It means to see nothing wrong with anything.  It means to see the world through the eyes of innocence.  It means to understand the reason for our inborn nature and to look at it with kindness.  It is to fully accept the world as it is, without trying to change anything outside of us.  Instead, we choose to see it differently and to use our vessel of reception to obtain peace.

      Shalom,

      Perceiving every living entity as an Individual Kingdom, understanding that the wants and needs of my Kingdom have a ripple effect on other Kingdoms.  That Kingdoms have more strength and endurance when they come together as allies, combining strengths and sharing sacred soul knowledge to problem solve towards a solution orientated global mindset.

      To switch from seeking my good only to seeking the greater good that includes everyone and everything, like the Creator does.
