I think we all go through different stages on our journey in this lifetime.
There is a stage where we discover spiritual teachings which make sense of our lives, and we feel full of joy and relief. We then want to share these teachings with friends and family, and we are puzzled when they fail to share our new-found enthusiasm.
Our biological parents may have provided our current physical body but in terms of spiritual awareness and understanding we may have nothing in common with them. And the same for other members of our family.
And whatever religion we may have been brought up in also becomes irrelevant. These religions may be fine for people at a certain stage of development but we have outgrown these particular beliefs.
Then we reach a stage where we accept that everyone is at different points on their journey, and what seems obvious to us is outside their comprehension. We let go of trying "to elevate their thinking and point of view" and allow them to be whatever they are.
If we are fortunate we find a group of people who also have spiritual interests, allowing for deep discussions and shared practices. If we do not find such a group then we pursue our journey in solitude, and maybe this provides lessons we need to learn.
If you feel alone in your spiritual journey then try to trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. Other spiritual people will enter your life when the time is right.
Peace.
