Listening to another

QUESTION: Masters my Mother has been suffering for a year because of a neighbor who has decided that she hasn’t the right to be happy. It began when my mother found a boyfriend. What can she do to stop this person? It is very difficult for me and my brother because we don’t know what to do. Is it karma? ~L., Portugal

ANSWER: Every soul creates its own reality. If you do not believe something can hurt you, it generally will have no effect on you. Your mother’s neighbor is jealous of her, particularly concerning her new boyfriend and the fact he makes your mother very happy. The neighbor tried flirting with him, and he saw only your mother. So the neighbor, who is always negative, sent as much negativity and animosity toward your mother as possible.

Your mother is a very caring, sharing person. She tried to console her neighbor at first, but then the woman heaped insults, accusations, and fear upon your mother. She has given your mother the impression that she can curse her and interfere with her life. She has no supernatural power, just a very big mouth and a hyperactive imagination.

This woman, in addition to being jealous, is also very lonely and unhappy with her life. She lives in negativity and thinks everyone else should as well. Your mother needs to cut off all contact with her because she will never be able to help this unfortunate woman. If your mother does not listen to her or respond to her ranting, she will eventually get tired and move on to someone else.

All this negative energy generated by the neighbor will remain in the area until it is replaced by something else. Have your family and friends gather and share their love for each other and the lives they have chosen. Have them send unconditionally loving energy to the environment, and it will chase away the negativity. Burning candles and incense will also alter the area.

Have your mother ignore the neighbor and spend time on creating the feelings of love and joy she desires.
