BDSM GONG Yeah so it is a very natural progression on this path that dispersion starts happening.

Yeah so why dispersion is happening that also you understand.

Conditioning dropped off no?

This side conditioning dropped off let's say.

So what is this conditioning?

It was my attachment to something and that attachment dropped off.

When that attachment drops off and that same thing comes my way now I don't interact with it the way I used to.

I'm not attached to it the way I was in the past.

So that little difference becomes apparent to the family members because they see you every day.

So obviously they will feel that this is different but sooner or later they will accept the new you.

So from your side you do your best to be very kind at that point with them.

First kind with yourself that this is just a conditioning that has dropped off a past attachment that was there that has dropped off and I have to be kind with myself and that's okay and I accept this and secondly now bringing that person on board lovingly kindly.

And this is a new change in me and I would really appreciate if you could also appreciate it.

That kind of a thing instead of bringing up a big fight.

If you pick up your horns the other person picks up his horns and there is a nice cool fight.

We don't do it that way.

If you are truly a spiritual person you should be able to maintain that equation with your family members that is your real testing ground.

Spirituality is not restricted to these knowledge sessions.

Spirituality is actually when you go back home with your most strong karmic relationships.

Can I maintain it?

Can I bring it out into my open-eyed daily routine?

Otherwise it's pointless.

Thank you.
