So do your friends/ kids think you are mad?

[sheme]

How do you manage to share your thoughts fears with friends and family? Have you been shuned, cut off, declared loopy? Do you stil come back with more or do you spare them the information and hope they escape to a different reality?

LOL, LOL, I'm down to a couple of cats and a consort ...

I do sprinkles of info. Nothing to deep. Don't want to upset fragile minds stuck in illusions.

I've always told mine, it may be crazy, but this is what I believe.... if you tell people you do too, they may think you are crazy (& try to take you away from me, knowing to themselves that I must be!)...so I just warn them basically, making sure they know I think anything is possible

The most important thing I tell them is I don't KNOW anything. This my kids get (of course everything dad thinks is stupid or lame) but alas, they are at the ages (9 & 11) that is the wheelhouse for knowing EVERYTHING...

My babe on the otherhand, she is doesn't get that...she believes everything I say, which I think is intellectual laziness, she'd rather accept it than do any research.

In general, I've learned to try to always qualify everything I say. I still end up misunderstood.

One thing I have noticed lately...even the hardest-core skeptics seem more open to anything lately...I like to think the veil is lifting.

Glad to say I have had mixed results some outright hostile, some polite and patronising ,and the most important one from my child -support and interest, but I still keep giving it out where ever I see a chink of light, be brave and tell it as you see it no matter where the objections innuendos come from (PA sometimes). Some one some where needs to hear what you have to say, without fear. Blessings to all. Remember they thought the the earth was flat not so very long ago.

I'm with you dude....find a opening and try to finesse it into their awareness whenever possible. It's an art.

LOL, I don't why this made me laugh Jagman, just picturing you "sprinkling" ...

Laughter is not just a sign of madness. Laughter is of a very high vibration when wholesome.

One of my workmates, who was really starting to question what was being played in front of his face deliberately turned back one day.

Asked him what he was up to, and he told me that he was starting to understand my world view, and that if he kept going, he wouldn't be able to get out of bed in the morning...in his words, it was easier to go back to trusting TPTB.

Family...I'm old enough that my parents take about 10 years, then tell me that I was right about something.

I must be pissing the right people off 'though, as there's always something going on to make mine difficult...e.g. negotiating for a promotion, then at the last minute get transferred sideways, and first job is to promote a well connected incompetent.

I don't care what other people think because by then I become as them, prisoner of the "normals prison".

It is good to start with something that interest them like money and health explain how it works. They will be all ears when subjects like these are discuss. Present evidences that is verifiable by simple common sense not the sort "according to this to that". You will have them nodding in no time although the info may not be long lasting you have made the first stage. The moment they hear something similar somewhere it sinks deeper and deeper.

When i talk to friend's about things i read on threads like these, I say ''I don't know if it is true.. But I read on the inetrnet... (tells the information)''

That way, i don't seem crazy because it is easy to find crazy information on the internet. Also, that way, I end up knowing how open minded they are to these subjects without making a fool of myself

I think everyone should try this

Loss And Gain

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

When I compare
What I have lost with what I have gained,
What I have missed with what attained,
Little room do I find for pride.

I am aware
How many days have been idly spent;
How like an arrow the good intent
Has fallen short or been turned aside.

But who shall dare
To measure loss and gain in this wise?
Defeat may be victory in disguise;
The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.

[skippy]

"If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, let him become a fool that he may become wise. For the wisdom of this world is folly with God." (I Corinthians, 18-19)

i dont talk about this stuff with most people, but if i sense someone is interested in these coin of topics or keeps looking critical at public media and politics im starting to throw some bits and pieces, sometimes this can be realy interesting but you have to be carefull what you throw out but years teach some

some reactions i got past the last 15years or so:

- you should stop reading this stuff this will drive you crazy
- im to old for this you are young
- where do you got that from? how do you know if this is for real??? <<( the media and programming at young age in schools made people forget how to build their own opinion)
- we cant change anything
- you are very depressing and negative

but if they think im mad this is what im answering

Hmm. Well, I did well at keeping my mouth shut for 24yrs while I had to. Once I could speak a little I did. It was VERY hard to put the muzzle back on myself once it was off.

Not that I had many friends at the time, but I lost what I did have. On an immediate level, due to the nature of my personal situation, I became alienated from my family as well. And so.. I learned to put a muzzle on.

This worked great for a long while. I did have people I could talk to who were aware, but they were not people I could consider friends in the "let's hang out and talk" sort of way, but any friends I did start to make, I was very careful with.

In the process.. I learned how to fit in. Another face in the crowd. No one really noticed anything different about me unless they could "feel" strongly (intuition, aura recognition ect) or stared too long. Those that did, were typically open to the topics and theories behind my experiences and subsequent world view.

Then, one day, people started talking to me about this Zeitgeist movie, or that Loose Change movie, or about Jordan Maxwell, or David Icke.. It was around that time that someone came along to tell me I had to start paying attention again.. Something was changing.

So I did. I found Project Camelot and other sites were exposing the truth (finally, from my perspective) interviewing some old friends, some people who also experienced things most do not. "Different paradigm" I guess some call it. Different perspective on the world.

This made everything seem different. I thought; "Now I have all these other people who know what I know and are speaking about it in interviews and writing blogs.. Wow, now I can scream from the rooftops and people will actually listen!"

So I did.. But they didn't. The family I could still talk to at all started treating me like that "crazy uncle who lives in the basement" (joke) and my friends would talk behind my back for a while and then eventually stop talking to me.

Instead of backing down at that point, I simply slowed down. I realized, I have no need to convince anyone of anything. I know what I know, and if people want to know too, synchronicity/the universe/fate/what have you, would bring them to me. When that happened I gave them "half a glass of water".. Some came back for more, others did not, and I accepted this as it occurred.

It's more important to be kind than it is to be right.. Some people subconsciously want someone (like us) to alter their world view (or shatter it as is often the case) and those people will find you, or you them. Others do not, and it is terribly unkind to force someone to drink water when they do not want water. My respect for freewill and my understanding that I can only ever open a door and it is up to others to decide to walk through it if they want, does not allow me to "force someone to drink water".

I just always keep the glass of water on hand, in case any thirsty people come my way.. Let them have as much as they want, and leave the rest.

I smile while they drink it down, and I smile if they spit it back in my face. Content to walk the path I am on all by myself.. and if anyone tags along and walks with me for a while.. Great!

(Most kids I get to talk to, think what I have to say is brilliant, and so much better than what their schools and TV's tell them. My own included.. I am lucky in that.)

ive found something realy funny just read and compare




Cage-bound Bird: Underlying Causes and Symptoms:


A cage-bound bird is one who will not leave his or her cage. It is an attained phobia. I parallel this condition to agoraphobia -- the generalized fear of a bird to leave his or her home or a small familiar "safe" area.

When rehabilitating a cage-bound bird, it is very important to remember that any aggression, screaming, and other unwanted behaviors are generated by fear. Attempting to correct these behaviors without correcting the underlying condition will cause further harm to this bird. Before trying to resolve any other undesirable behavior, the initial phobia of leaving the cage needs to be corrected.

Eventually, the bird gets scared of "the outside world," considering the cage a sanctuary of safety. Most cage bound parrots become terrified or even aggressive, if removed from this "safe place."

"The fact is that most cage-bound birds become this way from spending too much time in their cages, oftentimes without good human interaction. Even when provided with toys and other distractions, a cage is still just a cage.

I've convinced them I'm crazy ... but to my advantage when something happens in the world they cannot explain , I"m the first one they all seek to get my take on the events ... go figure
