<p style=”text-align: center;”>What does it mean to shift from an egoistic perception of reality to a perception based on bestowal?</p>
 

Egoistic perception: equal to getting the bigger piece so I am better, smarter, & richer  then the others.

 

Bestowal: If I win, all of us win, because we are part of each other, if I create something is for the common good of all society.

 

[Jan Koons]

wanting to give love and light instead of only receiving it

[Niki]

No longer feeling that you are a separate individual always needing to compete with other individuals but feeling that we are all interconnected and interdependent and that we need to collaborate and cooperate because we are really part of one single organism.

[Attila]

To shift from the interest of self to the benefit of the greater good.

E.g. what I want for myself is what I want for everyone else as well.

[Etienne Fourie]

I Think is is to enjoy what we receive from the Creator but then to enjoy as a whole and to bestow back with love on the whole

[Esther]

Using your 2 ears to listen twice as much as you use your one mouth to speak.  Being open and brave enough to let down your defenses.  Being able to buck the egoistic norms of our society.  Being able to care for every person as you do your own precious child.  Being sensitive enough to feel another’s emotions in yourself.
