Polgara, I do not see anything resembling negativity with you. The impression I got came as I read your OP. I felt as if your true self was wanting to come to the fore but you were determined to hide it from view.

Have you noticed recently whether or not different opportunities have arisen where you may have found yourself biting your tongue? If this is the case, it is time to consider speaking out and become to all the free individual that you already are to the few.

I know how hard it can be to stand firm with conviction when others are not on the same soul level, but I do feel the time has come to open up. There's no need to defend, tell them this is how it is and how it will always be. If they object it is their loss not yours. If you were going to try and convert them it would be more understandable. Their attitude is in the most due to fear of the unknown. It's is not their time yet, that is all.
