Her ringlets curl like snakes And her gaze is stony cold, Her whole being is a warning To men who think they're bold enough To take what isn't theirs; Who are slyer and more cunning than The snakes of Medusa's hair. -RD image

Jealousy is when you want what you do not have. Well, in fact, you may even have it, but you feel as though you do not and it sets up a feeling of anger and results in you not feeling good enough because somebody else has something that you want and do not have. Jealousy, with many other emotions belonging to lower vibrational frequency, it can bring your energy down and can never makes a person feel good. Souls with higher frequencies can experience lower vibrational emotions from time and again but they aren't comfortable living in lower frequencies for long. What is yours comes to you. Allow others to shine, for you do not know how many lifetimes they have been developing the skills that give them their results. Find humility. Focus on your self. A world full of self-realised souls will create a balance of peace in our world. πŸ•ŠοΈ

Patience with God is called Faith, Patience with Oneself is called self-confidence, Patience with Others is called Respect, And Patience with Family whether it's your wife, husband, mother or father is called Love...

Even after Buddha's answer, King Pasenadi was never fully convinced that his chief Queen Mallika loved him entirely. His soul is still searching for an answer. And in his 21st century reincarnation he has developed a new set of parameters to confirm his answer. ;^P

Always pray before you eat. Not to God (optional). Every food plant-based, meat or fish has life, and by consuming it you are converting it's life into your life. Be thankful for the plant and animal who gave it's life to change into your life and also be thankful to all the people who are involved in bringing every ingredient onto your plate, from harvesting to packaging to cooking, each one. It's a small daily habit that can have a big impact on your life... πŸ™πŸΌβ€οΈ

Who Is Mara to You? "First, what is Mara's domain? Where does he operate? At one point the Buddha indicated that each of the five skandhas, or the five aggregates, as well as the mind, mental states and mental consciousness are all declared to be Mara. Mara symbolizes the entire existence of unenlightened humanity. In other words, Mara's realm is the whole of samsaric existence. Mara saturates every nook and cranny of life. Only in Nirvana is his influence unknown. Second, how does Mara operate? Herein lays the key to Mara's influence over all unenlightened beings. The Pali Canon gives initial answers, not as alternatives, but as varying terms. First, Mara behaves like one of the demons of [then] popular thought. He uses deceptions, disguises, and threats, he possesses people, and he uses all kinds of horrible phenomena to terrify or cause confusion. Mara's most effective weapon is sustaining a climate of fear, whether the fear be of drought or famine or cancer or terrorism. Identifying with a desire or fear tightens the knot that binds one to it, and, thereby, the sway it can have over one." As in most Buddhist teachings, the point of Mara is not to "believe in" Mara but to understand what Mara represents in your own practice and experience of life. Jnana Sipe said, "Mara's army is just as real to us today as it was to the Buddha. Mara stands for those patterns of behavior that long for the security of clinging to something real and permanent rather than facing the question posed by being a transient and contingent creature. 'It makes no difference what you grasp', said Buddha, 'when someone grasps, Mara stands beside him.' The tempestuous longings and fears that assail us, as well as the views and opinions that confine us, are sufficient evidence of this. Whether we talk of succumbing to irresistible urges and addictions or being paralyzed by neurotic obsessions, both are psychological ways of articulating our current cohabitation with the devil."
