Suresh,
I worked as a scientist for a long time, and found almost no one who had
experience personally in Zen practice or with awakening.
All I could do was continue to treat them like everyone else, a part of my
sangha.
This was good practice!
You can do it!
--Joe
PS But *do* be a part of a spiritual sangha, so you can give each other
support, and develop ways in yourself to bring all your gifts to whatever OTHER
circle(s) you are then a part of additionally.
