Human Relationships and the Concept of Judgment

[tadeus]

Yes - adept is only used as synonym for spiritual awakening in a deeper form.

I can't say that I can relate to that point of view Ray. In my experience my faith is not shaken by this contact, but others are positively affected by contact with me. I agree that attachment should not be of the needy type.

My understanding of what Ra meant does not result in estrangement but on the contrary it results in you not being pulled into the problems of others, even if they are trying to have a problem with you. Not by remaining away but by remaining unswayed.

But certainly if one feels they cannot be themselves while in the presence of non spiritual people, then maybe a change in relationships is mandated.

That's a solution - but how to handle with your companion?
