This is an excellent post with so many good points, Chris!

My belief and understanding of the metaphysical processes in tandem with physical reality has grown tremendously lately. I can remember back on a time not that long ago when I would have considered it all fantasy (faeries, nature spirits, etc.) and yet now this knowledge has been given to me and is integrated into my thinking and daily life. I understand that what I think and intend creates and shapes my physical reality, so I strive to think more carefully and consciously, inviting positive, happy, fascinating things into my life even if they aren't popular.

And it is taboo , as you say, to discuss such things as faeries, etc. Even many of the people who know me best and love me most seem to tighten up when I discuss any of my visions or experiences. Some friends make jokes about it (that's the most popular coping strategy) and others just ignore what I am saying. I have therefore held back a lot, not wanting to cause others discomfort. But it is my intention to push through this invisible forcefield and continue presenting my experiences and the amazing lessons that are coming from the spirit world. Acclimatization and desensitization must be the key. I hope others will just take me as I am and accept my reality as valid at least to me. I can't pretend that faeries aren't true to please others when I know differently. That would be like trying to carpet the world instead of wearing slippers!
