Never allow others to be quietly jealous of you. They're going to kill your energy and your success. You need to shut that noise down immediately, even when it's awkward. Whatever negative energy you feel coming your way has to become a conversation - right then and there in the moment. Jealousy is the strongest projector of deficient energy and QUICKLY sours into ill-wishing. And ill-wishing freezes your projects and your progress until its spell is broken. Most humans don't understand just how potent and constant something like that is. Because most humans don't know that energy projection is real. If nothing seems to be going forward in your life, look around you and *really* study the reactions of your friends and family (painful, yes) when it comes to your success. When others are afraid of your success, their fear becomes food for the demons of misfortune that tug at the strings of your fate. You must teach yourself to ask the difficult questions and call out negatively charged behaviors. It will literally save you tons of pain and heartbreak. "That didn't seem like a genuinely happy reaction." "You almost sound jealous. What do you have to be jealous about?" "You don't seem very glad about my success." Yeah, it might make you cringe, but remember that the other person doesn't feel awkward at all about their literal dark energy towards you, about wishing you deficit and lack. It's infinitely better to have these awkward conversations than quietly eating all that dark energy. The biggest sufferers of misfortune from others' jealousy are the ones who are in denial about other people's jealousy. "Oh they're not jealous! What do they have to be jealous about?" The one other way to completely cut off this dark energy without saying it out in the open is to mark the ill-wisher with the genuine truth. This means that you MUST confess to yourself that they are a jealous person, and you must start treating them as such. "X is a truly jealous person. They are jealous of my success and of my happiness." This takes away their power completely and their projections lose influence the moment you assign their true name to them. But most people don't do this. You either need to assign the name of JEALOUSY to the person that is - not matter how painful, or simply make their jealous behavior known through conversation. No one wants to feel lonely or attacked by their friends and loved ones, but if you just take a short moment and assign a single strong emotion to every person in your life that defines them the best - you WILL understand that most of your friends and allies are not your allies at all. Don't be afraid of the truth, and don't be afraid of loneliness in the face of that truth either. The truth will set you free and open your gates for you - for you to find success and real friendships. Could be your own brother, sister, mother, father, aunt, grandparent - whoever. Call the serpent by its name.
