That has been one of my greatest challenges on the spiritual path. I try to get her on the same path but she seems to be at a different frequency. I often think of the Buddha and his decision to leave his family behind for enlightenment. It was through trial and error and then finally enlightenment that he discovered that one doesnt have to fully renounce the world to be liberated. However, to get to that point of conciousness one must make great sacrifices. But I dont want to leave me family. And I hope that by embodying these spiritual concepts it will influence those around me whom I love to follow me on the journey. As time goes on its becoming more and more of a pipedream. One day I'll have to accept that my loved ones are exactly where they need to be in their level of consciousness and there is nothing I can do to change it.
Nah, Buddha fully renounced the world, Mara tempted him with worldly things and he passed the world must die to one for the veil to be removed to see the truth. Buddha went back a couple times and seen his wife and child but other than that he lived his own life.
You sounded like me the more consciousness I grew spiritually U was trying to give the wisdom but it fell on death ears and you must understand that they are spiritually young souls, they are children still and because of that they give this world up, this is all they know and they're going to keep being reincarnated until one finally grows up and desires more than what the world can give them.
But it's like Jesus said until one hates the world, even hates his own life he won't do the kingdom of Heaven. And that your family is the people vibrating on the same frequency as you
So you and your lady got a lot of thinking to do i wouldn't tell you to leave her because I don't know how determined you are to become enlightened and the path of enlightenment is a lonely one and I don't if you can handle that, but you can if you desire bad enough to transcend this world.
