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

[Tiiu]

I think observing my thoughts and actions and seeing my intentions helps correct the ego’s inherent desires.  If my intention remains to help others and see them succeed in spiritual growth, it counts as altruism. It does not always mean I have to give someone something or do something, even though its also good. Desire to be more like the Creator puts me on the right path.

Accepting the interconnectedness of everything in our world. Knowing that what affects one will ultimately  be felt by all. I wish to truly be able to live that.

knowing that we interconnected to each other

Knowing our true nature completely, understanding our egoistic nature, not repress it. This will take us closer to others because we will see ourselves in others and see how we are all connected. So we will do things for ourselves (all as one) using our ego but in a corrected way. I will take others as part of me.

It entails thinking about others and putting then above you

Since total altruism isn’t my natural state, attaining that state entails making daily conscious choices as much of the time as it is possible to start moving in that direction, and asking for the Creator for help, for his guidence, for his guiding light.
