This week I was delighted to hear the Vedic Worldview on
the differences between Envy and Jealousy
from my ultimate Guru,Thom Knoles.
With a broader discussion with my teachers
Melanie and Neil Kirkbride last night
that brings me to this post today.
(I would be remiss if I didn’t share this weaving
commissioned awhile back by Ken Cohen…
on his birthday week! HB Ken and Thanks.)
We have all felt the heightened state of watching
someone having an experience that inspires us.
An enviable position that was self created.
I felt it this week at “Lunch at a Landmark” as I watched
with pure joy Shigeru Ban being honored and speak of his work.
I pondered as I started my trek homeward
how wonderful his mission in helping aid so many people in crisis
by creating housing for them around the world In times of disaster.
It felt wonderful to be in his presence in this enviable state.
Not to mention, seeing his numerous masterpieces.
I believe that Nature organizes for those that help others.
He is a case in point.
We can’t speak about envy without discussing
the anti evolutionary, consuming state of low
self worth called Jealousy.
Jealousy arises when one wants to have unity
with someone or thing and cause the other not to have it.
To have something that others have.
If you have waves of this….stop before it takes over.
As it is self fulfilling and causes others not to be around you.
Jealousy is considered a comfort tactic not a strategy for growth.
Melanie and Neil stated that as
we get older our most important mission is
to continue on a spiritual path of learning,
growing and helping others.
And Thom stated that these moments are all opportunities
to share our practice.
In becoming more and more conscious of our deeper
states of awareness.
Step aside states of Jealousy.
Weave / Build / Create– Be sustainable! Be Green.

in all that we do to evolve and grow.
