Jealousy


Jealousy is a poisonous snake which abides in the hearts of those who have darkness within themselves. When we are jealous, we serve our jealousy and turn into its slave. Jealousy first manifests when a person hates the following in others:

- Beauty
- Abilities
- Success
- Talents
- Health
- Perseverance
- Energy
- Dynamism
- Solemnity
- Wealth
- Possessions

The second phase of jealousy manifests when the person attacks in others those qualities or attributes that he does not have or are better than what he has. He slanders the person, ridicules him, laughs at him, deforms and changes the expressions of the person, or implies wrong motives behind all his efforts and actions.

The third phase of of jealousy is when the jealous person hates himself and falls into depression. He respects no value and thinks that he does not exist.

Man blooms only by appreciating others, by being grateful for their talents and their beauty, and by helping them unfold and flourish more. When, because of jealousy, a person rejects the recognition of the value of others, their beauty and talents, he creates a blockage between his Soul and his personality. The Soul stops providing inspiration to the person. It is a deeply psychological fact that jealous people eventually become ugly, parched lands because their Soul does not precipitate the rain of talents upon them.

Jealousy damages the red blood cells, liver, and pancreas. The greatest damage a jealous person does to himself is when, in the heat of jealousy, he petrifies his pineal gland. Medicine will one day discover that jealousy is the cause of many complicated diseases.

Jealousy disturbs our relationships with people. It creates tension, fighting, animosity, and separation. Jealousy eventually leads to suicide. It creates a grey mist in the aura and poison in the bloodstream. Most of the crimes committed in the world are caused by jealousy.

Jealousy can be overcome only through the exercise of identification with the one of whom you are jealous. Be him, be her, and see yourself

  • In his beauty
  • In his talent
  • In his position
  • In his glory
  • In his success
  • In his prosperity

Through identification with the other person, you draw those same elements to yourself of which you were initially jealous.

Pray and bless those who are

- More beautiful than you are
- More successful than you are
- Happier than you are
- More prosperous than you are
- More talented than you are

The Law says to recognize greatness in others and rejoice in it if you want to find the path to greatness.

Every jealous person carries within himself the seeds of worthlessness - and worthlessness is the cause of moral and physical suicide.

Beware of people who develop ego, vanity, and a sense of superiority. The presence of these three poisons indicates that the Chalice is cracked and is emptying. Sooner or later, the person will be aware of his worthlessness. Jealousy manifests as ego, vanity, and a sense of superiority as the treasures in the person slowly evaporate.
