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

[Alice]

That entails that we can transform from an evil nature into a godly nature. All eight billion people could treat one another with humility and gentleness, for everyone shares a single Soul—that of Adam—living together in the Garden of Eden.

[Olav]

It means that I go from egoistic grounded behaviour to include desires which lead me towards a more bestowal level of life.

[Susan]

Switching the intention from receiving for oneself to bestowing for the good of others.

[Suzanne]

Shifting from reasoning of the ego to reasoning above the ego.

[Nicole]

To not take anything personally and love and treat another like you would yourself.

[Ngozi]

Shifting my perspective from “what’s in it for me?” to “what’s in it for the Creator?” I don’t know how to be grounded in altruism in a spiritual manner and not a corporeal manner (in day to day life, since we are all egoists). I am hoping Kabbalah can teach me this.
