We can get in touch by transforming our egoistic intentions to altruistic intentions.

I wish that everyone has the ability to feel what its like to receive joy in selfless giving.

I try to remember that everything that is happening to me is sent from above rather than some random occurrence and that if I respond to it correctly, I can progress spiritually.

Is there an example that can help illustrate what putting a different intention over a desire looks like? I’m having trouble understanding this. For example, if a person desires a really nice car because they are looking for prestige, and then they realize that this prestige (the intention) is egoistic, and therefore leads to misery. What would this same desire look like with an altruistic intention over it? Is it necessary for an individual to know this in order to progress?

I want to be able to perceive the creator.

I don’t know what expect from this lesson. However, I desire to achieve the ability to transcend egoism and I’m hoping that this will assist me in that process.
