Leave Envy Behind
The power to teach a more accurate way of perceiving includes the power to know a more accurate way of perceiving. The power transfers from the teacher, who knows, to the person who does not know. The transfer is almost imperceptible, at times, while other times the transfer arrives like a slap to the face. Power flows from someone slowly or power flows swiftly from someone to someone else and in this present case where I am writing there can be no mistaking that the power fails to transfer. The power either transfers or it fails to transfer. No on can accurately claim to be ignorant any longer. Someone can claim any false claim, but to do so is to be inaccurate.
Envy can easily be left behind because envy has no productive employment. Once envy is recognized as being useless the perceiver can discard it at will. Envy is more accurately understood as a form of hatred and again once the perceiver understands how useless these types of perceptions are the perceiver can willfully discard such folly. If someone understands that barking at the moon does not cause the moon to go away does someone continue to bark at the moon in the effort to make the moon go away?
Why does someone perceive hatred, envy, jealousy, or any useless emotion? The answer must be answered by each individual who suffers from these base emotions. If the answer is such that the individual has a purpose for such a thing as envy, then ignoring that fact will certainly remove any power that can be exerted in the effort to leave envy behind.
I suppose that someone could employ envy for a reason and with that question in mind it is now time to begin the inquisition. The reader can play along if the reader is similarly bewildered by this question. One obvious fact that can aid in this inquisition to answer the question of why someone would embrace envy is a relative condition between the person who experiences envy and the person who exists in a perceive condition that is perceived as being enviable. There is the person experiencing envy and there is the person who is seen by the envious person as someone who is enviable. Two people are involved. One is real and the other is not necessarily real.
The person experiencing envy may not actually know that the person inspiring envy is actually enviable. What happens if the supposed enviable person is truly miserable and the supposed enviable person is projecting a well constructed false front? Suppose the person suffering from envy finds out about the true nature of the supposedly enviable person? Does the envy cease to occur once the true nature of the enviable person is accurately known by the person suffering from envy?
The next obvious thing to occur is some form of action performed willingly by the person suffering from envy. Does the person suffering from envy employ envy to accomplish something that can be accomplished willingly? If the person envies another person’s enviable position of wealth, for example, does the person suffering from envy decide to gain as much wealth or take the wealth from the enviable person?
If the person suffering from envy decides to gain as much wealth as the enviable person without taking wealth from the enviable person is that not a case of desire rather than envy? If someone chooses to gain wealth because of envy while refusing to take wealth from an enviable person does that person choose to leave envy behind in favor of desire?
