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

[Douwe]

Our ego is an obstacle in this transition.

[Joe]

Channging our desire from to recieve for self alone to to receive to bestow.

[Grady]

Being honest with yourself. Knowing your egoistic desires and asking yourself if you are performing an action for you and your self-centeredness. Or am I performing an action that is beneficial to all creatures in creation; being altruistic and acting with love.

[malcolm]

For me it means thinking possitively from one’s own ego, to that of bestowing our love, help and thoughts to our neighbours and friends.

[Mitch]

For me it means take control of your ego and don’t let material things control your emotions and help others to free themselves from it.

[Ewelina]

It consists of noticing the needs of others, without calculating one’s own benefit. Even if the effect of such altruistic action is one’s own loss, what counts above all is the intention and willingness to help. By such actions I mean the right approach to the right action.
