I think it has to do with the fact that we are all connected and dependent on each other. So my private correction is dependent on the people around me and in the world.

I think it means to shift your perception from the egoistic mindset of desiring everything for yourself to one that acknowledges the Creator and sees everything as a gift that you can receive in order to give pleasure to him.

I would like to move more towards altruistic intentions and move out of a place of egoism and so much pain

The best experience from the previous course was just having the lessons there to sit down and go over.  Sometimes I lose faith, but then whenever I do another lesson I am excited again and feel that it is true.  I expect to learn from this course more how to work with others.

I have learned how important connection is. I have always had a tendency to be more isolated so there was some resistance to this at first, but I feel more and more how true the need for connection is. I find it inspiring to learn about distinguishing egoistic desires from altruistic or spiritual desires. I feel like throughout my whole life I have had sort of had an inkling of this distinction and some hint that even fulfilling every egoistic desire you could possibly imagine wouldn’t truly bring happiness. It is very comforting to learn about this in a systematic way and try to put words to it.

There would probably be less conflict because people would realize that there is no point to getting things only for yourself and they would want everyone else in the world to also have a good life
