      Preparation Question: What does it mean to shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal?

      It means to attain spirituality, which is to be done in four stages .

      When the light of the creator is received by the point in the heart, it aims towards unity, oneness, and love.

      One learns to have the right desire, and not corrupted,  to love thy friend as thyself. We should have a desire to give to others without self-concern.

      To shift is to change.. have a different view/understanding…   Will need more explanations depictions as to egoistic and bestowal.

      Question: What does it mean to shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal?

      To look at everything from the eyes of the creator. To understand that we are not in equivalence of form with the Creator therefore we suffer. Our suffering is a means for us to evaluate and correct our selfish ways. We must look at our efforts to love everyone as we do our selves as the only way in which to become equivalence of form with the Creator. We must do this by first connecting with others who have this same desire

        “Our suffering is a means for us to evaluate and correct our selfish ways.”

        And this really changes how you see life, doesn’t it? Great insight, thank you.

      To shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a pereception based on bestowal, means to start looking and acting towards situations with a non-selfish perspective, meaning that we think upon others first in any situation we are involded in.

      We dont know what is to bestoal, because we have a egoistic nature, so I dont know what to answer.

        I feel this. I wish I knew the answer! But we’re all on the way, together, thanks to the Creator.
