We are each striving to live in the center of our being, in harmony, in a state of peace, in a state of compassion and in unconditional love. Remaining in one's center requires one to not engage in any emotionally charged thoughtform or judgmental assessments. As one disengages from all emotionally charged thoughtforms, a state of inner peace follows… When one is in judgment, one engages in emotionally charged thoughtforms which have the effect of moving one out of the center of their column of light or their being. As one moves out of one's center of their column, one becomes disconnected from their I AM Presence and from the guidance of God/Goddess/All That Is. Emotionally charged thoughtforms are tied into aspects of one's personality or ego. In your self observation, as emotionally charged thoughtforms become engaged, simply ask that the personality aspect that is related to the thoughtform be dismantled, and so it is.

When someone attaches unkindness to criticism, they're angry. Angry people need to criticize as an outlet for their anger. That's why you must reject unkind criticism. Unkind criticism is never part of a meaningful critique of you. Its purpose is not to teach or to help, its purpose is to punish. Life isn't supposed to be an all or nothing battle between misery and bliss. Life isn't supposed to be a battle at all. And when it comes to happiness, well, sometimes life is just okay, sometimes it's comfortable, sometimes wonderful, sometimes boring, sometimes unpleasant. When your day's not perfect, it's not a failure or a terrible loss. It's just another day. (Barbara Sher, American Author of I Could Do Anything If I Only Knew What It Was)
We only love what we feel is like us. What we do not understand, we fear. (Dean Fraser)
Now is the time to make the "connection" to know you are the "oneness". This is the ultimate "partnership". This is why we are here doing this whole journey – we gave ourselves permission to leave the love of the universe to explore what love is not and to remember again when it was finished and not fun anymore what that love was and return home to wholeness again!

Jealousy is the jaundice of the soul. (John Dryden, 1631-1700 British Poet Dramatist Critic)
One would always want to think of oneself as being on the side of love, ready to recognize it and wish it well - but, when confronted with it in others, one so often resented it, questioned its true nature, secretly dismissed the particular instance as folly or promiscuity. Was it merely jealousy, or a reluctance to admit so noble and enviable a sentiment in anyone but oneself? (Shirley Hazzard, 1931 Australian-born American Author)
Where does this jealousy come from? It comes from feeling that one should emulate the leader or creative one of parallel archetype, and if one is not succeeding as they are, then one is worthless or useless. Beloved, each archetypal expression has its own gifts and talents and spiritual objectives to express. In polarity, no two are going to express even the same gifts and talents in an identical manner. Each must learn to express yourself as they feel called to from within.
Often those who feel jealous have unconsciously given their gifts and talents to the other of parallel archetype, and then are jealous as the other manifests with their information. The solution to this is to retrieve your own information [via intent] and then utilize it for your own creative goals. In the act of creation, one will feel fulfilled, and in the fulfillment, there is no room for jealousy or competition. (The Ancient Grand Masters through Karen Danrich "Mila") - www.ascendpress.org
Friendship in the current paradigm is generally founded upon jealousy, or the feeling of being either superior or inferior to another. Such forms of jealousy, whether they be conscious or unconscious, create harmful energy flow between parties. For the one who is superior inflates their field to be far greater than it should be, and the one who is inferior gives their chi and information away in the dance. Then the one who has given their information away looks at the other and thinks “I’m jealous!” What is one really jealous of? One is jealous of one’s own information in another’s field. Take your information back, retrieve your power, and you will find your own inner truth.
Inner truth is not jealous, nor does it desire to be “like” another. Inner truth understands that it is one’s truth to appear as one does, or dress as one does, or to feel as one does, or fulfill upon the preoccupations that one does. Truth does not question if the appearance, clothing or preoccupation is better or less than another. Truth only desires to be expressed and shared. Truth was lost as humans began to intertwine and give parts of themselves unto another. As others held parts of you, then you became jealous of the other. And who are movie stars or anyone of fame anyway? They are ones who have taken parts of the selves of all who follow them, and inflate themselves to be seemingly “greater than life”. Those who have lost parts of themselves to the ones of fame then are envious, as they perceive themselves within the star or one of fame. Retrieve the parts of self from any star or one of fame that you have given away, and you will cease to perceive them as anything but human. (The Ancient Grand Masters through Karen Danrich "Mila") - www.ascendpress.org
To the mean eye all things are trivial, as certainly as to the jaundiced they are yellow. (Thomas Carlyle)
