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

[Elena Ester Rivka Guadagnini]

If I have understood correctly so far, it means being aware of our egoistic nature (desire to receive for ourself) and start having the intention of receiving in order to give (desire to receive for the others). In this way we use our nature to go beyond ourself in the attempt to give pleasure to our Creator and be united with Him and all His other creatures.

[Michael Schwartz]

Changing intent from pure reception of pleasure to the intent to bestow pleasure.

[Zorica Kostadinovska]

To be able to get out of yourself and see the big picture and its all connections

[chris patton]

observing more than participating

 

[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.
