I've certainly noticed a reaction from my family lately, but it hasn't been a shunning or unwelcomeness. I was discussing things with my mother lately (she's aware that I've "become involved" in nondual spirituality) and asked her if she noticed any changes in me lately. She said "Yes - you've become MUCH less self-centered than you used to be, much more serene and calm, less depressed, and seem much more contented and happier than you used to be, and you don't seem to have that inner loneliness you used to have." BTW, she's a licensed psychotherapist, if that makes any difference...

We have all gone through the 'shunning' and unwelcomeness in our families and with our friends. We are the 'menatlly ill' and as such are being systematically excluded by 'normal' society. It is only now, I believe, that we are reaching critical mass on this side and the 'world' will have to deal with our mentally ill existence as, perhaps, the next evolution of 'conscious' being. We need to be a peaceful voice for that is what we are. We must be careful not to create an 'opponent' to fight they will surely find us as we grow in strength. If we do, then we are no better than those that would shun us. Our vision must no compromise existing systems of religion, politics, and science beyond providing peaceful solutions to the problems that are a part of these systems but 'not' the whole. Please consider my quote in the context of yourself to see how its meaning applies to you. "Imagine how our perceptions would change if 'you' KNEW that 'my' cause 'was and is' your cause. But, alas, 'you' have decided to be 'my' effect rather than 'our' change. I can not add to what you 'know'. I can only embellish it. Is it any wonder then, that you cannot see this as your own? I am the effect of your cause. I am the result and the product of all that you know and all that you have done to this planet. To say that I, Tim Harris, 'know more' is to say that I have a source beyond mankind. Where does this leave you and me? I am a husband, father, employee,...a man. What is it that you claim to be?"
