To love your neighbor as your self

[Rosie]

Stretching beyond our own self-centered needs and desires. Taking a step outside ourselves (our ego) and taking a bigger view of reality and how we can affect it.

[Gamelah]

Im hoping to learn how to do this.

An egoistic perception of reality puts me at the center of anything that is happening … “what does this mean for me, is it threatening or beneficial?” A perception based on bestowal sees things from the Creator’s point of view … “this thing that I am orchestrating is for the benefit of My creation, all of it simultaneously, to bring every part to its intended purpose and goal.” If I can therefore step outside my own narrow and self-serving perspective I can open my self to glimpse a larger purpose for all the things that are happening around me. I can’t know or understand very much at the beginning but over time I will be given help from the Creator and other spiritual seekers, my teacher and the authentic texts to see more and more of this “hidden reality” … and in the process to transform from being so self-centered to care deeply about others and how I can help meet their needs. And as I do so I will bring pleasure to my Creator.
