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

[csilla]

transition in my native language implies a temporary thing, which may fit well with the weaning process from self-centered perception to “anything else”… imo, “anything else” necessarily leads away from selfishness and that could either be done alone through ‘ignoring’ one’s selfish desires and considering one’s pov irrelevant, and such similar mind-tricks and strategies or decisions… and, it seems likely that by weaning one’s self from selfishness, it seems that the developmental stages of easing into a perception of reality that is grounded in altruism would come naturally without specifically thinking of other people 🙂 . However, it would seem more efficient to add simultaneously the basic idea of ‘altruism’…, which could even be considered, at first, as a means of becoming less selfish, since prioritizing others’ needs implies being less egocentric…, but, this transition from one to the other entails … after thinking about it like this a bit, i think it sounds like a lot of work, so…, from what i’ve learned from KabU so far, i’d like to suggest it entails help from the Reforming Light, which seems to me the happiest way of weaning and glowing. I look forward to seeing what happens !

It entails pure bestow without expecting anything back from it

To connect with others by being empathetic to their needs and desires, and assist in positive and uplifting ways where possible.

The first step is to remember that my perception of reality is primarily guided by the biases of my Five Senses my ego and my will to receive, keeping this in my awareness allows me then to engage with what is in front of me with more responsibility and to respond rather than react with the intention to be more like the Creator and that means to see what is outside as part of creation rather than separate for me and to aim to act towards them with love

You can’t change others so you have to change within  yourself. Show more compassion and understanding toward others. We are seeing our world through our eyes, others see world through theirs. Don’t worry about what others are thinking, doing or seeing as their reality. Their ego creates their world. Work on yourself to reach spirituality.

I might be late in understanding how to transition from egoism to bestowal. In watching and listening more carefully to the videos and after watching them three times, I believe I understand better regarding how to fix the egoistic desires. I have learned that one begins with fixing one’s relationships/attitudes towards others. I vaguely was able to understand the Point in the Heart. I understood the concept. However, I was not able to answer the question to myself on how to reach that Point. I understood that one had to desire,feel the way to the Point in the Heart, but how? Again, reaching the Point in the Heart has to do with fixing one’s relationships towards other and follow the values base on connection, unity, and bestowal. Mainly, what clicked for me was the fixing part that I believe I now understand.
