The challenge that has kept showing up for healing and ascension this week is jealousy. This emotion flows from a center of fear within the old world experience. Fear and jealousy always lie to us. The old world is an illusion built on lies, but lies that have been useful to us during the old world experience. Now, as we begin to enter the new world a little bit more each day, it is helpful to become aware of the foundational lies which we need to let go of as we ascend. Jealousy is one of them.
Each person contains a seed of the One Source of Life. That seems like a small thing, but it is not, it is completely in union with the One Source and all that is true of life. Its job is to activate within body, emotion, mind and spirit, the alchemy of loving union with our Highest Self, so that everything we are is stimulated to grow into its true state.
When we find ourselves feeling jealous, it is a product of the impulse of the old world experience that has pushed us out of unity and into individual expressions of life. The impulse toward separation has been as necessary to our development as the contractions of a mother’s womb when it is time for a child to be born. Much of what we experienced in the old world could fit within this analogy of painful and traumatic transformational birth. The process of individuation through the old world has been hard, and left us feeling evicted from love and wholeness; tiny and vulnerable in a frightening world. But through this we have learned to find our individual power and use it; very necessary for each of us. Jealousy is that wounded part of us that recalls feeling so vulnerable and helplessly insignificant. It believes that someone else has it easier and it wants what they have, thinking it is better.
Like the person who sits down to dinner at an expensive restaurant with friends and always feels the other person’s meal is better, bigger and tastier than their own, jealousy never believes in the gifts that it owns. That is an outward projection of their post traumatic stress from the old world journey. Here we are, my friends, entering the new world experience where we will find the fulfillment and truth we know exists and live within it; and yet we have trouble owning it and honoring our true selves, because we have PTSD from the old world journey. And then the world around keeps distracting us with horrible old world news! These things keep sucking us into fear, and fear breeds all negative states and experiences, including jealousy.
One step you can take to honor your new world self, and own the gifts that are daily laid on your table of opportunity, is to choose trust. Trust yourself, trust the intelligence of the Higher Power/Great Spirit/One Source/God…however you like to name or define that; and trust the experiences life gives you today. They will always be what you need. Trust is always a choice, though it often is not your first impulse! Use all your opportunities to actualize your potential, because that is what they are for. Your purpose in life is to build the soul muscles your eternal seed of Oneness needs you to have. Remember that! People tend to think their purpose is acquisition of possessions and comfort; this belief creates a lot of frustration and jealousy!
Every life needs enough comfort, nourishment and security to provide the right foundation for growth and self-actualization. But what is right for one person in the present time is different than what is right for another. We are all eternal, and all have chosen at a higher level the experiences we will undergo in each lifetime. During the old world experience each of us will have experienced our own share of lack, victimization, loneliness and hardship. We will each have also experienced our share of prosperity, love and ease. Hopefully we get a balance of that in our current lifetime! But whatever we get it will be what is necessary for us to self-actualize. So use what you have been given, and don’t compare it to anyone else. Rarely will life be fair, but it will always be what is necessary.
Honor yourself and the wisdom which has given you gifts both comfortable and uncomfortable in your life. Access the seed of Oneness which is planted within you, and from that place of truth and wisdom, make the most of the opportunities you are in at any given time. When you do, what is there will fulfill its purpose and pass from your experience — rather than staying and repeating endlessly — and then the next muscle builder will arrive on your plate. There will continue to be challenges, but recognize them as helping you to fulfill your destiny, rather than as something wrong or to be avoided.
Honor and trust yourself, you are perfect! You have what you need to grow through each circumstance. In so doing, you will get to know the power and wisdom which you possess. The unconditionally loving universe always sends outer support for what you don’t have within you yet. So if it is not showing up outwardly, you know where to look — right on your own plate!
Thanks for liking and sharing! May your week be filled with blessings dear friends!
Love, Eve
