Part of life is contrast and conflict it seems. Conflict that takes the form of trying to change someone else causes more problems, so it seems we have to accept all the differences and focus on changing ourselves. But if the other person won't try to change there will never be resolution will there?I speak particularly about how much my life and perspective has changed, especially after using psychedelics. But my parents and most of my family are very religious and they thoroughly reject the person I'm becoming. I know I can't make them change, but if the hateful ignorance they're living in continues how can we ever be at peace with each other?
Heard! That hits on a personal level with me when it comes to my family as well. However, since birth, I've traveled a lot. So I'm partial to severing those ties when necessary.

That hits on a personal level with me when it comes to my family as well. However, since birth, I've traveled a lot. So I'm partial to severing those ties when necessary. They're just on a different plane than we are. People like us are just trying to tune into the frequency of mother earth and learn from what she has to teach. It's okay to be sad or mourn the servering of ties, but honey you gotta spread those wings and do what ignites your soul. Just stay away from crack, meth, and heroin. Lol.
Unfortunately, No. The thing about people is that we naturally fear what is different even when it’s not going to cause us harm. The other thing is that humans get easily stuck in certain thinking patterns, and its nearly impossible for someone to break out of that programming, especially alone. I’d...

The other thing is that humans get easily stuck in certain thinking patterns, and its nearly impossible for someone to break out of that programming, especially alone. I’d imagine that part of it is that they want to think of you in a way that makes them comfortable and fits their world view, when they see you doing you it likely disrupts that way of thinking and causes anger and frustration. I hope things get better for you, just remember that they likely are more hateful towards themselves deep down and that this is likely very confusing for them. Its not you, its them and i cant solve your problem with your folks but I can and will keep you in my prayers. From your enlightened christian-bhuddist pal - Eric.
