Embracing the Mystery: Transforming Jealousy into Personal Power

Jealousy often reflects an absence of personal power, a feeling that can consume individuals and cloud their judgment. This emotional state suggests a disconnect from one's own strengths and capabilities, leading to comparisons with others that can be both unproductive and damaging. Through the wisdom and guidance of the ancestors, who have traversed the complexities of human emotions and experiences, I have come to understand the profound importance of taking full accountability for our feelings and actions. Embracing the mystery of our true essence is a journey that requires introspection and courage, as it invites us to explore the depths of our being and recognize the unique gifts we possess.

As Sister Nataline R. Cruz profoundly reminds us, "Know thyself" and "Energy observed changes behavior." These powerful words serve as a guiding beacon, urging us to delve into self-awareness and self-discovery. When we truly know ourselves, we can identify the roots of our jealousy and understand that it often stems from insecurities or fears about our own worth.

By acknowledging these feelings, we can begin to shift our focus from external comparisons to internal growth. By creating and holding space for ourselves and others, we can cultivate awareness that allows us to reflect on our emotions without judgment. This practice of mindfulness can illuminate the hidden aspects within ourselves—those parts that we may have neglected or suppressed due to societal pressures or personal doubts. As we shine a light on these shadows, we can begin to heal and integrate them into our understanding of who we are.

Ultimately, this journey leads us to a deeper connection with our true power and purpose. It empowers us to transform jealousy into admiration, competition into collaboration, and fear into confidence. By embracing our individuality and recognizing the interconnectedness of all beings, we can foster a sense of unity that transcends jealousy and allows us to celebrate the successes of others as reflections of our own potential. In doing so, we not only honor ourselves but also contribute positively to the collective human experience.
