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

[Scott]

I believe we don’t lose the ego or become completely capable of bestowal, so it’s mostly intention based. Therefore, we’re using the method of Kabbalah and intention to receive to create an intention to bestow

[Annmarie]

To shift from egoistic perception of reality to a perception of bestowal we must begin to see through our life’s experiences by feeling the Upper Forces. To do this we must feel the light of the Creator. We must receive (everything that comes to us) with an intention of pleasing the Creator. If we can keep that intention, to please the Creator, we will become givers like the Creator; and therefore, our egoism will shift to bestowal.

Changing our egoistic nature to receive with an intention to bestow.

I would need to know my egoistic nature is to receive and strive to uncover a point in the heart.

In doing so I begin the attainment of the 125 degrees of bestowal.

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.
