Implica la posiblidad de empezar a revelar la dinámica del sistema del cual formamos parte, y sólo así sería posible acceder a dicha comprensión, superando la perspectiva egocéntrica y alcanzando la búsqueda del altruismo absoluto.

understanding that I am not created for myself, and am here to receive and give to mankind

[Ben]

It entails seeing the world through a much clearer lens of feeling one with everything as opposed to having the ego be like a wall that separates you from everything.

[LORI]

Truly letting go of my habit of thinking of how to get my own needs met, in order to embrace a new way of thinking of focusing on G-D and His plans for me.

[Peter]

It will entail desire and commitment to practice, paying attention to present moment and intention. It will require hard work.  It will require connection to others, and connection to the Creator through prayer voicing my desire, “I want this.” Please let me see wider, please let me be strong, compassionate, courageous, determined, humble, trusting. Please let me fulfill Your plan for me.

[Philip Iyov Ecks]

Understanding that my desire is not that different from the desires of my neighbor. I need to learn how to feel that deeply and develop the intention to bestow upon my neighbor. To fulfill the needs of others without any expectation of reward or receiving for myself.
