It's a bit awkward when some distant family members ask you to meet and it comes out that you are happily busy every night of the week and the whole of Saturday. They then say doing what? You then say Gnosis. Ok so they go look at you puzzled and they go away and what do they do? They look it up, on where? Google of course. Thank goodness some decent sites appear in the search results.
Of course they click on some of these search results and of course they click the links related to sexuality and the death of the ego. Then come some questions of course.
In my experience it is best to meet those questions with good and clear explanations.
If we remain silent they talk and spread all sorts of wrong perceptions and concepts, which in time end up festering. We may not care about what they think and so no problems, but it can create a problem for your immediate family where these distant family members start bombing your parents for example with questions and rumours and all sorts of hearsay etc. And of course your parents gt really worried and not having studied Gnosis can not produce any really good answers to allay the fears, misunderstandings, bias, prejudices etc. and the festering and disturbances continue to one day be addressed. By who? You! So I reckon better to do it on the spot if it can be done in a gentlemanly fashion.
When giving these explanations it is 'secret to ourselves only evaluation time'. The better we understand something the better we explain it and the more relevantly we can tailor that explanation to the level of understanding of the listener.
If we actually understand things well we won't be dogmatic nor condemning in our explanation. But balanced.
When they hear a logical and clear explanation which makes sense to them they respect what you are doing.
