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

[tefo bogosi]

To think of us instead of me. To be selfless instead of being selfish. To derive pleasure from giving without expectation of anything in return.

[Danielle Vergonet]

I think it means to see each other as a whole and work together as a collective. So instead of wanting everything for ourselves, experiences to help en be there for each other.

[Marion]

It means that I start to feel that everything is ‘myself’, and therefore feel equal love for all.

[Mira Brooks]

I would say that it involves extending love and altruism to others and the environment, relating with qualities of giving and bestowal. Through that, we feel a deeper sense of connection and begin to understand how we should relate to others, outside of the selfish drives of ego or self-gain.

[Joanne Kabu-W10]

It’s a shift in attitudes toward others. To examine and change my intentions to bestow to others instead only for my own benefit.

[Camila]

Changing from egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal means change our intentions, restricting the traditional use of our desires and start using only those we can work for the sake of the Creator.
