For instance when the sight on the life has changed through the knowledge of Ra and the changes in the world?
It is very difficult when there is no common way any more ...
That's the point. It's like you have gone forward and the rest just don't want to move.
Here you can say: O.K. Just keep where you are, please don't stop me.
It's quite more difficult to keep a conversation, because you must lie about the facts.
When you have "leave the world" of fiction, scientificity, religion you can only keep quiet.

Like the saying goes, before awakening fetch water chop wood, after awakening fetch water chop wood.
It changes everything and yet it changes nothing. You meet all the same catalyst and the same people, but it's how you meet these that changes. You can make an example of your life by asking the Christ consciousness to flow freely through you.
Like Jesus, we are not supposed to become estranged from others. We are supposed to mingle with all the same people that are meant to come within our sphere of influence. And not judging or changing them, but loving and positively influencing them by your very being. If they want more from you they will bring the subject themselves.
That's really wonderful, but it has do be a daily job again and again, maybe until you leave this incarnation.
Rudolf Steiner did write about this problematic of being an adept too, but he did not have an solution.
He only writes that you should do everything like before, just try to help if possible and to keep distance if needed.
Quote:We suggest the nature of all manifestation to be illusory and functional only insofar as the entity turns from shape and shadow to the One.
That's a solace but not really a solution, specially when the polarity / differences seems to increase.
