Hello All, The deeper my practice, the better I become at dealing with situations concerning anger, hate, jealously, judgement, etc. This of course is to be expected if anyone truly endeavors to transform their negative traits in the soul mirror. Yet, on the other side of the coin, I notice that I am beginning to deal with people more as an observer. I listen to what they are saying, talk less, smile, and rarely become interactive anymore in a conversation, especially if I sense anything negative or not spiritually beneficial. To be honest, the daily concerns of most people is beginning to feel like a chore to listen to. I am sure people are noticing this new behaviour. I even notice people getting mad because I do not choose anymore to "participate" in their emotions as I may have before. I also choose to keep my spiritual life very private and never talk about it, but there are always clever people who notice things... Does anyone here on the list have similar experiences and any advice how to deal with people that are happy not to ask questions in this world of delusion? (that shouldn't be read as condescending).
