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

[Tom]

To me it means seeing the world in a new way since until I started my study of Kabbalah I did not realize how much ego permeated how I viewed the world.

[Seeker of Wisdom]

Wanting to give to the others as opposed to taking it all for me (ego) and eventually receiving in order to bestow through a change of intention.

[Namron]

I don’t know. I’m egoistical because I’m afraid that if I give then I won’t have enough for myself.

I can say that I receive in order to give, but if I don’t have nothing there is nothing to share, so my desire to receive feeds my giving .

i am still very lost

[Mary]

it means we are entering into the unity phase of human integration.

[Miryam]

At this point in my understanding, it would mean a shift to deeply and naturally regarding this world, and everyone, everything in it with a caringness, a lovingness, a concern that, for now, I can only barely imagine, and yet long for so much.
