Leila HavranParticipantIt is a shift from seeing life through personal gain to recognizing a deeper interconnectedness. In a self-centered view, everything is filtered through wants and fears, creating an illusion of separation. Reality feels fragmented, defined by “mine” and “not mine.”
An altruistic perception dissolves this illusion. It is not about forced sacrifice but about expanding awareness beyond the self. The question changes from “What do I want?” to “What is needed?” or “How can I contribute to the benefit of the whole?” without diminishing individuality.
This transformation requires inner attention and practice. It means noticing self-interest, gently redirecting it, or correcting it, asking for the corrective light and being fully present with others. Giving is no longer loss but fulfillment. Influence becomes alignment. The boundary between self and other softens, revealing a more luminous and unified reality.

LogynnParticipantExamining your relationship with everything in reality, from a rock all the way to a person. Understanding how you objectify it all, and realizing that it is ALL the Creator and you. The way you treat each object, creature and person is who you are in your relationship with the Creator. Then you try to develop a conscientious relationship with every aspect of reality. And where you struggle with that, you ask the Creator for help, and He responds in stunningly subtle and clever ways.
