What Do You Reckon? If No Lust then No Jealousy? - (1951)

What Do You Reckon?

If there is no lust, i.e. not that possessive aspect of lust, don’t you think it would be difficult for a person man or woman to become jealous right?

Also, if there is no inferior feeling or no debt or resentment, it is once again difficult for jealousy to arise.

When we work on jealousy these aspects: inferiority, psychological debt, resentment, and the possessive side of lust (i.e. wanting to control the focus of the other’s sexual desire to be directed at us) could be worked on.

Jealousy does not think that way does it? When we realise we don't own
people, and love is elastic and fluid in its presence and, not fixed and 
rigid, jealousy, self-importance etc. get weaker. 

Why So Strong?

Jealousy is a very strong emotion that is terrible because of the strong expectation we have to be felt as first in the focus of the other person. WE believe that to not be first in their focus is to not be loved. But love is fluid and elastic.

It is so strong because it manages wrongly the forces in love. Love is very powerful and when it is polarised against us, by using the wrong reference point, it hurts like hell.

If you have made others to feel jealousy when you know that it could have been avoided, it is best to work hard on that ego now because we will feel it, just as we have made others to feel it.

Core of Jealousy

The ego of jealousy wants to tie things down, it ties everything to this one reference point that “I must be first place in the focus of the other and that means that I am loved and when I am loved all that I have done for you has been worth it”.

If Not

If not I feel terrible betrayed, mistreated, mocked, ridiculed and used.

Having no reference point and understanding the truth about love, that love is free, fluid, elastic and expands out like light, as does consciousness, dissolves and undoes undoes a lot to do with jealousy.

End (1951).
