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

[Elliott]

I’m not sure I’ll get this right … but I’ll give it a shot. An egoistic perception of reality is one where I see, hear, feel (etc.) so that I can determine how I can receive for me alone. I perceive things according to my selfish interests. A perception based on bestowal allows me to perceive (and determine) how I can receive to bring pleasure to others and to the creator. The information coming to me might be the same … but how I filter that information changes.

To change your intention from receiving to bestowing

[James Wright]

An egoistic perception of reality involves intentions and actions which serve the small self, a shift to perception based on bestowal is holding the intention to bestow and act in service of the creator and creation.

[Jonathan Hague]

It means to become closer to the ‘purest’ form of existence: Oneness. One Creator.

[Brian Sachs]

It means that we become like the Creator. Our perception becomes broader and we see the whole of reality. Everything is happening within me, the desires of others become my desires, like one organism.
