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

[Peter Hjorth]

It means to work on correcting my intentions, so that I will be able to bestow when I recieve.
It means that I intentionally strive to reach equivalence of form with the creator.

[Eberhard]

It means to shift my perception from what I receive to what I give.

It means to stay above. It means to be stronger than yourself, stronger than that, which attacks me. It means I contain what I see, not vice versa. it is in my mind and I have the power over it. It means to step back and just be at service. It means to stop wanting and needing. Peace. And it means too, that if all my brothers and sisters finally do this, I will finally be seen and recognized and apreciated right the way I am, so that I will be allowed and supported to do my unique work here, so that finally my basic needs will be covered (and buy books too!), so that I still can continue to bestow being in this body 😄 yes I know I’ve still put a will to receive in, but this was conscious! And it is true!

[Vania]

It means to perceive the world and everything in it as part of me.

[Michelle]

to restrict the desire to receive for self alone to bestow to the friends.

to me…it means to, as best you can, be aware of all your actions, to question why you do/did them, and then to work to change that intention and behavior towards one of compassion, patience, grace, acceptance, forgiveness and love. i’ve been doing this with those closest to me and the results have been beautiful. but who knows, lol…this may not be the right answer to the question of what it means to shift from ego to bestowal.
