Hello. I know you know this since it's almost cliche or captain obvious of me to say, but the number one thing that seems to be a problem with people in my life understanding or accepting or giving credence to things is that they do not value the age-old, cross-disciplinary practice of periodically quieting the mind altogether of all thoughts and relationships of relationships to other relationships, and just being empty as a routine point of departure. Protected, shielded, and careful, whatever in doing so -- however your belief system handles that, but purging thought (in addition to ending the incessant chatter that gets in the way) is also a way for me to stop going crazy even from positive mental exercises like ego dissolution etc., like you were mentioning. I look forward to reading the owner's writings and if I have inadvertently contradicted any of them it is 100% unintentional (though I dout I have).
