Respecting the individual

"We must respect the body as an individual planet. No person should try to own another. We should assign ourselves to assist and to help one another, but never try to own or possess. Jealousy is a deadly disease which disintegrates the body."
— "Mr. A", in Born to Heal by Ruth Montgomery

There seems to be some confusion over what jealousy is really all about. Some seem to believe that it has everything to do with loving someone. But when jealousy enters into a relationship, anger is soon to follow. Anger and fear are two of the greatest emotional setbacks a person can experience. They can actually make a person sick by drawing out all the energy from the body where it is needed to maintain optimum health and placing it into the negative emotion instead.

Think back to any of your relationships, past or present, that entertained jealousy on either side. How well did the relationship do? Did it survive? Did it blossom? More than likely it did not. Jealously drains the soul and depleats any love that may have been there in the first place.

Remember the Law of Attraction: like attracts like. If you are a loving, giving, and respectful person in a relationship, you will attract the same in your partner. Focus on respecting the individual in yourself and in your partner and you will see your love grow.
