Has anyone noticed that they create a whole new set of problems the further down the spritual path they go?   I am in the process of looking at my thoughts and understanding them to be irrelevant. But at the same time I have noticed that I create a set of dysfunctional behaviours that co-exist alongside my deepening sense of freedom. I've noticed that the less bothered I become about strict behaviours like constant politeness, organization, friendliness, the usual mind games that people need to play in order to "get along" in life, the more I seem to offend others and make others resentful at me because I'm just not minding these petty survival behaviours anymore. I find them irrelevant, unnecessary and detrimental to my sense of well being. I'm just not as interested in playing the game of life as much as I used to be because I see how much suffering is involved in keeping up these facades.   I've actually become a lot more accepting , accomodating, embracing of others and my own faults but in doing so I find strangely that it's backfiring on me. I'm finding that a lot of people would prefer that I didn't love and accept my and their whole being as it is, and they would actually prefer me to hold them to the conditional standards.   Any insight to share?
