Well said Anchor. Teach through example. Not so far in my past my husband thought I was nuts, then slowly he started to ask questions and begin his own research. Then by some lovely providence he saw a UFO for the first time. That was it for him, he realized that there was a much grander picture then he had previously been privy to. I stuck to my truth, but never forced it upon him. Even if he had never questioned his reality, we still would have had mutual respect for eachother... and so remained happy.
We will all leave our physical bodies behind us eventually. This is but a blink in the eternal. Happiness is a state of soul. I try to respect everyone's spiritual path most of all. We are all so different and imperfect. It's really quite beautiful. No matter what happens in the future, how I treat others has been paramount to my soul's happiness. Everything is choice. I hope that your path is respected too.
As to how I live on the planet; well I've noticed that the closer I am to Gaia the less money I need and the system effects me less and less. In return I am helping to take care of Gaia by being closer to her (the planet). It's a win win situation for me. But the choices that we make are personal... I would encourage anybody to start a garden, live a simple life, and brew your own. And of course... Make your own fun!
I know it is hard, but you have support here and friends to keep you going migp!!!
Peace of Mind,
