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

[Max]

It entails the desire to bestow. Asking the creator for a need to give to those around you, and to receive with the intention of bestowal from the creator.

[Tiffany]

Transitioning from a self-centered perception of reality to that of one grounded in altruism would entail annulling oneself and setting the intention toward the desires of others, such as others’ desire for adhesion to the Creator. In other words, reducing one’s will to receive for oneself in order to receive on behalf of others (bestowing). I’m not sure I’m articulating what I’m trying to say correctly…

[Koena]

It would entail the ability to connect my desires to the desires of others above my ego-self.

[Eric Snow]

To realize that we are all one and to treat other people’s desires as your own

[Greg]

Know and accept that I cannot change my nature, I can only change my intention, and only the creator can change me to the point of being equivalent in form. I can only be altruistic with his help and no one else. I can only get into this state by putting myself in the right environment, working with Friends, by having a teacher, and studying the books of those who have already attained them.

[Ed]

To understand that self is a black hole that sucks everything in and emits nothing.
