Question: If my perception paints an external picture of the world for me, and this external picture is actually me, then what is the point of transitioning to a state of bestowal to others if they are me?

Answer: You never actually bestow anything to anyone else. What you do in your life is develop your perception, engage in self-knowledge, self-understanding, and self-discovery. That’s it! Everything that appears to be outside of you are your own sensory organs, which are intentionally made to seem foreign and unrelated to you. This is done so that by attracting them to yourself, you develop the desire for bestowal and love instead of egoistic desire, and you discover that all of it is actually yours. These are your attributes, your desires.

There is nothing in the world that does not belong to you. By integrating these so-called external objects, which are actually forces, attributes, and desires, you form a vessel within yourself for perceiving the Creator, the upper world.

The idea that something exists outside of you that is seemingly not yours and foreign is an illusion. It is you!
