Hey Colorado,
I also can sympathize with your feelings of frustration here. For me it's a one-two punch because when someone responds in an attacking / close-minded way to something metaphysical that I am interested in, 1. it feels like an attack on me, with regard to what I believe in. (E.g. you believe in god/ufos/channeling/spirits? you must be really dumb!) And 2, it is an attack on the credibility of whatever it is we are talking about, which I see as detrimental towards that topic gaining more credibility in the mainstream (which would be nice, eh?).
Whenever you venture to talk to someone who may or may not be open minded to metaphysical topics, you are taking a risk to some degree that you will get a response you are not looking for. On some level I see it as duty (in a minor way) to raise the topic now and again, so as to better introduce metaphysics to our collective consciousness, but I have learned to do so in non-obvious and/or non-direct ways. And when I get the "you're stupid" response (usually implied) I take it as a clear message from that person's higher self that he/she is NOT ready to take on this sort of material at this time so as to best fulfill his/her life lessons/missions. I make sure to never bring it up to that person again, unless initiated by that person.
Being a part of a group that is an extreme minority on earth (people who are consciously aware of the Law of One material) is in and of itself an interesting catalyst, wouldn't you agree?
