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

An egoistic perception of reality is an experience for me of walking along in my own movie. I am the star, the director, and the voiceover narrator.  While perception based on bestowal is rather a documentary with all the  emotion and close up faces and connections.

Looking forward to learning about bestowal.

To start really living under the understanding that we are not one complete self, but part of a greater “organism/system/soul”. If my skin is not my “frontier”, then I can’t really be egoistic (at least not as before the information we’ve received), as I will realize that anything egoistic is also harming “my little me”, not only the system I now still see as outside “me”.

I think it means to perceive things more from the perspective of the creator who knows only bestowal. This is a more altruistic way of seeing reality than the egoistic perception.

Thank you so much for these lessons!

I read this in The Kabbalah Experience, pg 214

“During the study of Kabbalah, when the will to receive grows, the measure of the screen grows with it, which is the aim to please the Creator, rather than yourself. Thus a great man, a Kabbalist, has a great desire to enjoy, but a corrected one. “
