hi wanderer
wow - i have been "chewing" on this line of thought for so long...
just this morning as i was getting ready for work, i was mentally trying to organize my beliefs and how i would present my "change in perspective" to family & friends - if or when they might ask.
my situation is that of one coming out of a very conservative religion. i feel as if i have "reawaken" to truths i set aside 25 years when my husband decided for both of us that this religion was the way to go. about 4 years ago, i began to feel the pull of the truths i'd set aside, and i know that i have been directed to the loo series, among other wonderful, insightful, amazing information as i reawakened.
as for what to do with it...
i agree with you in that i don't want to infringe on anyone's free will by sharing information they may not be ready to hear, so i don't share it - even tho i am filled with such joy and love because of what i know! it's hard and yes i did feel pretty isolated until i began reading the discussions on this site. that has helped tremendously - to realize that you are not alone in this journey.
as for my family, i have shared some things with one of my sons - from the moment he was born we have shared a connection that is eternal. from a plr (past life regression) i learned that we have incarnated many times together in different relationships. this i shared with him and he was interested, but not convinced. i have shared bits and pieces of the things i have learned - but only when i sense that the time is right, or the conversation drifts in that direction. i have been open about reincarnation with my daughter also. over the past couple of years she has become a believer in reincarnation, but nothing else.
i have not shared what i believe with anyone else in my family, as they are either totally immersed in the conservative religion, or make jokes about beliefs that are out of the main stream.
as i have removed myself from the religion, i have slowly distanced myself from the friends who are still involved. this is my choice, as i do not want to share what i believe because i know that they will pretty much freak out and think that i am "lost" or want to "save" me. it is not easy, but for now i feel it is the best solution. they will not want to hear anything that i have to say, and will try to change my mind. ( so much for free will!)
as for my husband, we have a mutual non-discussion agreement. it has taken many years, but i have stood my ground and informed him that i do not intend to continue any involvement in his church. he has agreed, but does not want to know what i am involved in.
interestingly, some of the things discussed on this forum have been happening to some of my family members. (waking at 3am, seeing thru the political situation) when i mentioned that i had been reading about those very things on this site, i was met with some teasing and comments about et's trying to take over.
so, wanderer, i know that you see that the path we have chosen is not an easy one. especially when we have such a different perspective of what is going on in 3rd density than our loved ones. i try to send only love to my family and friends. i try to remember to understand that they are learning and growing at their own pace, just as i am. but it can be lonely sometimes...
again, that's why i am so grateful for this site and those who share their thoughts with us.
hope this helps you.
love & light
