I like to follow the expression "Be the change you want to see in the world." When the light shines out of you, others will follow. I didn't put much stock in this at first, but oh, how true it has become. Live what you believe, and people will be lining up asking for information. One or two people doesn't seem like much, but if everyone inspired one or two people, we'd have the world covered in no time.
Obviously, I don't discourage putting out whatever information you have found helpful, either. You never know when it will be just the thing that someone was looking for. One tiny little post on an obscure forum led me to this site and changed my life. I remember Carla talking about how she, Don and Jim spent so much time trying to find ways to get the Ra Material more "out there", afraid that they wouldn't reach enough people. Ra told them that if they reached just one, their work was successful. They didn't need to worry about who was going to find the information- it would be found by the people that needed it. And look at it now. People all over the globe have been touched by an effort that has perpetuated itself forward in love.
I just don't think there's so much need to worry about how people *have* to change. I grew up in a dogmatic religion that preached evangelism- the need to seek out and convert others . But it was when I finally let go and stopped pushing that people started listening to me. They came to me of their own accord. All will be well. Don't forget to enjoy the ride. :-)
Of course, this is all my humble opinion, which may or may not be accurate or resonate with you. I in no way claim to have a monopoly on enlightenment here. :-)
