Hello Art I find that your conclusions about what your therapist said are true in my life as well. I quote you here;

“My path to this state was the same emotion that brought me here, Envy.  I prefer the word Jealousy, but my therapist has convinced me in the past that you can only be jealous of losing what you have (or think you have), and envy is the desire for what you don't have (or don't think you have).  Those parentheticals are my addition.”

We talked on the phone the other nite. I have found in my own life that I encounter jealousy and envy on some level but for most of us it is manageable therefore it would not require therapy. There is ofcourse self therapy which occurs as a result of introspection and self analyses. These qualities manifest more and more on the spiritual journey.

One important ingredient I would add here however. Both jealousy and envy fall into the category of what most masters call desire. Desire is what manifests these bodies in the first place. Our bodies are an indication of desire manifest. If it were not for desire we would not be here unless ofcourse we were here to help other body bound souls release there bodies by shedding desire.

On the spiritual journey we more and more become witnesses to the play or Lila around us... just as we become witnesses to our own thoughts in meditation. In this sense we dissolve some of what you called boiling over in the somewhat rambling discourse (lol). And we may have a bubbling pot from time to time however we are quick to cool 😎 down due to our reactions being tempered through years and years of spiritual experiences and practicing.

In our encounters with worldly people we often find that we are on dissonate wavelengths and must move on with other people leaving them and reasserting our connection with spiritual connections.  🙏
