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

[Mike]

Not speaking from attainment here, just theoretical: it means perceiving directly that the world is not a place of corruption, old age, disease, death and evil but is instead filled with divine light and is all good. It would mean crossing the machsom, and becoming a hub of light filling existing connections and making new connections in this world based on an entirely different basis than that of the ego today.

[Ed Mereoară]

Internally feeling all the humans desire and give them love.

Shifting from the egoistic perception is allowing the ego of personal gains to die.

Moving to the perception of bestowal is equivalence of form, giving like the creator with no personal gain in mind.

[Beth]

An egoistic perception of reality is when I see myself as the centre and all must satisfy me. This is not sustainable. A spiritual perception based on bestowal is not about satisfying my desires but satisfying the desires the whole, of which I am part. This is sustainable. This shift is done in the name of the Creator.

[Ty Palodichuk]

To consciously think about how I affect the whole system in my life

[ARD51306]

I’m trying to apply this very practically, so when someone was behaving badly towards me the other day, after initially getting angry (my desire), I thought I should see this person as the Creator himself delivering a lesson to me.  Then I can thank God for providing the lesson through this individual.  That allowed me to direct love and appreciation toward this person for the lesson in controlling my emotions.
