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

[Brenna]

I think it is a realization that there is great personal benefit in ensuring the well being of others (people, animals, plants, fish, etc.). Some examples: our children benefit more when all children receive a quality education because they will need to work together in the future. Or that we need healthy trees and fish for a healthy climate, which in turn translate to our own health. Or that ensuring that everyone feels confident in the ability to have their needs met removes the need for revolt/revolution and provides peace for all of us, etc.

En últimas significa que hemos corregido nuestro deseo y dado el paso de la norma egoísta de Nimrod de “lo que es tuyo es tuyo, lo que es mío es mío”, con toda la secuela externa de catástrofes, pandemias y desolación global y personal, hacia la forma más amplia de amor al projimo en la cual ” lo que es tuyo es tuyo, lo que es mío también es tuyo”, y la llegada del alma hacia los mundos espirituales y a una convivencia pacífica y amorosa entre todos.

To shift our perception, first we need To acknowledge that our ego is corrupt  then learn to look to its opposite form to begin to see the light of bestowal

[Carlos]

That’s means the path of Torah & Mitzvot that produces a progressive & a constant correction of our ego, in order to attain more & more equivalence of form with the Creator, & the transformation of our Kli. A transformation that gives us the force to use our natural ego (or will to receive) in order to bestow, & to develop a higher sense or consciousness in perceiving  “really” reality (the Creator’s thought).

as an example i used to work to make money so i can pay the bills.

i shifted my preception in the way that i work because i enjoy making products for my employer.

the intent changed from me based to the company was a whole.

Perception of reality is the key to all answers.  If we chose to look at things that are bad as bad we simply do not understand reality.  The creator created everything in 6 days, he saw that everything was good and rested Shabbat.  This means that everything is still good and the creator is still resting because time does not exist in the spiritual worlds.  The sooner we understand that all is good, and ask for understanding of what we feel is bad; as to how something can be considered good, the better.
