Yea, I get it. I guess I feel the presence of Rightness in me when I do it - but I am often the one to stand up and be crucified. It's interesting. The last time I did before a big crowd, I was the only one speaking up for principles and when I sat down after saying my peace, and of course my vote was crushed, people came up to me and said "you failed". And I said, "No, I did not. I said what needed to be said." and I felt fine - in the eye of the storm. I got to set an example for them - or not. It is none of my business, but it was the right thing to do, and the result in me was that I received a spiritual gift of non-attachment. The more I do it, the weller I get - so I will keep doing it, when necessary and also will stand back and try to encourage others to do it as well. There is a lot of spiritual growth to be gained from going through that birth canal.

It's all in the approach. You're coming at this from your angle.
If you want to reach people, think outside the box, pretend you are them, and wonder how they would perceive you with their way of thinking that got them to this point.
They aren't ready for it.
It's almost like: How would you speak to a 5 year old when they're not in the right mindset? Berate them? Flood them with information? Or speak to them slowly, and use examples in a way that even a 5 year old could say "yes daddy. I see your point. can I go out and play nicer now?"
nah - I don't need advice. I don't believe in the "pearls before swine" thing. I speak the truth as I see it and they get it on the spiritual level or they don't - it's none of my business. I think the "pearls before swine" thing is what got the knowledge occulted in the first place - so no. I speak to them as adults and they hear or they don't. That's between them and God.
