For the explorer, this would be a sign of sickness, weakness, and degeneracy. For the urban sitter, for the unchallenged man with a lack of perspective, he is infected with jealousy and is an urban tubercular of the soul.
An explorer takes what he needs, including women he may well meet along the way. He takes them then and there and if she is desirable, he takes her--he does not compete or consider other men.
It would be in degeneration, then, that jealousy occurs. Jealousy is the sudden belief that somehow the Great Creator is anything other than a chaotic flux of spontaneity (anything othen than what the earlier Moraline called "tragic indeterminacy"). To be clearer: Jealousy is the idea that, under a paternal Father God, a woman has been chosen for you. No others have been with her or could have ever been with her because God the Father had chosen only her for you. Nothing is left to chance, there were no tragic indeterminacies, you met her at that spot on that day because God planned it. Your love for her was predetermined in His eyes, and she could not have ever loved other any other circumstance, permutation of chance, or context.
Thus jealousy is a degenerate combat between a healthy outlook--pantheistic tragic indeterminacy (i.e., the God of King's Forest, et al.)--and an unhealthy outlook: God the Father.
It is unthinkable for a degenerate and lost man of God the Father to consider that his beloved might not only be loving another, but many others. It is no worry for a true man of God, a man of the true panthesitic God of tragic indeterminacy, the God of the King's Forest and the God of the road and the mountains.
Jealousy is correctly a deadly sin, but it is not a sin against God the Father but a sin of God the Father. If a man is jealous, he is sick, and is sick because he has turned his back on the one and true God.

Jealosy and desire for what one does not "have" will be the first to go when one moves out of "this" stage into the next. Further one no longer believes they have any sort of ownership of things, much less others. Jealosy is the result of the incorrect belief that you deserve anything or have anything to lose.
ReplyDeleteA man with a strong project cannot be jealous.
ReplyDeleteA woman however should be jealous. It is her nature to be so. The only question is finding the right man to deserve her jealousy.
Jealousy is rightly a sign of weakness. A sign of insecurity obvious to all but the jealous one. If the jealous one were truly confident, the threat of another would be a non-issue.
