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

[Shane]

Having an egoistic perception of the world means that my perception is very limited and narrow because it’s focused on a single point—me. When I shift to the point of view of bestowal, my perception opens up because I’m focused on many points, meaning the desires of others.

[Tove Jo]

Passare da una percezione egoistica della realtà sembra che ho bisogno di vedere il mio egoismo di più.  Per cambiare la mia percezione basato sulla dazione mi serve capire come pregare o chiedere aiuto dal creatore per migliorarmi.

It means being in an environment that is fixated on what I don’t have or what I want versus creating/praying for an environment where what matters is what the Creator wants. AKA reception vs bestowal

[Michael]

To shift one’s identity from ‘me’ to ‘we’.

[Peter]

The concept is still a bit nebulous to me, but I feel like I am slowly starting to grasp it. I hope to gain a better understanding this week, as well as an understanding of how to apply it.

[Katel]

To shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal means:

To intentionally rise above the default human nature of fish love; i.e. selfishness and exploitation at the expense of others and nature to a loftier position of  love for neighbor as oneself; and only by the help of the Creator.
