Youngmaster,
Namaste,
I am a little late in replying....you have some wonderful answers already.
I will just make a small addition.
You are growing in awareness. You have now begun a spiritual journey.
The people you know, in business, friends, family, etc., have been in your life, and comfortable in the 'place' that you were spiritually.
You are not the same person that you were. Do you think that on other (spiritual) levels that people around you are not aware of this?
Choices have to be made. By them, first of all. 1. They can change with you and support your spiritual growth. 2. they can support your growth and choose to stay where they are. 3. they can go an entirely different direction, which is where you WERE going, and not support your life now. Perhaps causing you difficulty now and then. In this case, leaving time and energy for more supportive people to come into your life.
You are making choices also. To continue on your path, or not to continue because their choices make you uncomfortable.
Perhaps there are now people in your life who are chosen to be difficult to you, in order to help you cement your decision on this path.
Bless them on their path, as well, and stay firm.
