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

[Dennis Ibrahim]

It is means to that I am part of the whole and not an individual, and to start feeling and caring for the concerns of others. That is the others become included in me (my feelings)

[MARTA PAGES ALARCON]

If I expect that everything that surrounds me give me satisfaction, I won’t find contentment and I will suffer because of the belief that is the base of my perspective: that I am defective and lacking. Giving springs from the opposite belief regarding who I am and what do I have. Relationships are a good field for sharing and giving, but a bad business for getting what I expect.

[Shadi]

Our inner intentions of love and giving to others change and in this way we gain a similarity of form with the Creator

[Boke]

It means changing my egoistic intentions for altruistic intenstions. To put my friends needs before my own needs. It means eighter just to bestow or to receive (desires) in order to bestow.

 

[Sharon]

To shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal is to put the friends interests above my own through correcting my desires and intentions

[julie]

Instead of doing or receiving for oneself, have intentions to bestow for the Creator or a friend.
