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

[Amirhossein]

In the perception based on bestowl we are functioning as a gear in a whole machine. Whatever we feel is how to be one with the system that we perceive it’s interconnection. We feel it’s beauty and want to be a part of that beauty rather than taking control upon it or owning it.

Everything comes from the creator.  I want to be like the creator and give.

[AspiringAltruist]

The shift means purposefully living in that reality of bestowal.  To perfectly balance the additional force of ego with the force of the creator and taking the infinitely narrow middle path that can only be done through the help of the creator.  I was watching Marcus on kabtv and this visual helped:

Love the graphic!

To me it means shifting how I look at the reality I’m in.  My egoistic perception is always noticing where and how my desires are being frustrated.  Shifting to a perception based on bestowal would mean that I’d look at reality as interesting, and often inscrutable, evidence of the Creator’s love for me, no matter what it “looked like.”

Looking for ways to bestow to the Creator from the blessings that I’ve been given.

looking for opportunities to give rather than seeking what I can get
