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

[Seeker of Wisdom]

Wanting to give to the others as opposed to taking it all for me (ego) and eventually receiving in order to bestow through a change of intention.

[Namron]

I don’t know. I’m egoistical because I’m afraid that if I give then I won’t have enough for myself.

I can say that I receive in order to give, but if I don’t have nothing there is nothing to share, so my desire to receive feeds my giving .

it means we are entering into the unity phase of human integration.

[Miryam]

At this point in my understanding, it would mean a shift to deeply and naturally regarding this world, and everyone, everything in it with a caringness, a lovingness, a concern that, for now, I can only barely imagine, and yet long for so much.

I learned theoretically that we have to receive not to fulfill personal desires but receive for the benefit to fulfill the goal of the creation … that is how I understand it intellectually. But I do not truly know as I can not experience it … I have a deep longing to truly know it, as to sense it so accurately as I can perceive my surrounding with my five physical senses, but I can not. The lack of felt experience leaves me in the “unknown”.
