the truth is you can't open up anyone's eyes unless they ask for it. i used to openly speak my mind about the things i've learned to family and friends, thinking that they were listening...only to realize over and over again later, that they let what i said go in one ear and out the other. in the last year or so, some of them have finally started to get intererested in these things since they're being featured more prominently in tv shows & movies & what not. they'd ask me a question and i would always think to myself "i already told you before", but that's just it. people don't learn until they're ready to. like jesus famously said, "you don't need to cast your pearls before swine" or whatever. so even if you have loving family & friends that are willing to tolerate your perceived nuttiness the messages won't sink in unless they're truly on that path of self-knowledge themselves. the best thing to do is just be an example. walk the truth. shine your light. wise enough people will take notice of the 'fruits' of your work...your health, peace of mind, wisdom, balance, etc. & will look to you for insights.
