JES-Jealous Eyes Syndrome
We in the Arab world have a saying” May a needle poke the eye of a jealous man” excuse me dear friends if my translation is a bit lame, but It’s the underlying message I wish to pass on and get more perspective on.To give you a better understanding of the saying and why it is around for oh so many years I dare not wonder in history to find its origins, I do know it was widely known during pharoe times in egypt, so I would guess more than 6000 years is close. I dare to speak of this casual social enemy freely due to its reality and would like to get feedback from the western world on the same issue.
The following example is a real life example happening every day for as long as I remember:
- An Arab mother is shopping for her 1 year old baby boy in London while she is pushing him in his stroller, he is awake and kicking with joy at the sight of people and lights and the continuous movement. Another woman comes up and stares at her baby boy and screams out how wonderful he is and how beautiful big eyes he has, what a wonderful happy baby she adds, the mother is happy thanks her for her nice remarks and continues shopping.The same woman comes to Jeddah,Saudi Arabia, same situation and same thing happens to her in a mall, she will turn away and start reciting some holy Quran to sway away the ladies evil jealous eye, and maybe sacrifice a goat in the process to keep harm away from her loved one. Now I did say evil eye, how do I know? How does the mother know? its real my friends.
- A man pulls up with his brand new shiny black BMW, nice black leather seats and a complete individual options package. His friend sees him in his new car, smiles at him and whispers something only he could hear. 5 minutes later this new car has a dent caused by a reckless shopper at the supermarket parking space. A dent that only could be removed by a new paint job, not a chip repair. The owner of the car says” its a good thing that happened!, should keep the eye of jealous people off my back for a while”
I have heard stories of people in my country that can flip cars at fast speeds and have seen tv programs on the subject. I have seen ladies wear a certain blue eye to keep away these evil forces. I know Quran recitations that help us battle such sick people.They say some have it and know it, and others don’t know they have it, but wonder why their friends are all dying or getting crippled or blind? I swear I used to know someone who could say a word Like “ EHIB!” to guy waterskiing and see him fly of the thing flipping like a dolphin. I know it exists, but why do we have it more here than there?
- Why do we know that a foreign woman or man is sincere in his words and our fellow people hide intentions? why hate when you can actually be neutral, not love!
- Why do we seek others fortunes and say that they stole it? Why do we see a success and shower her with doubt? Why do we look for the little black spot on a crisp white shirt when we could compliment the whole package?
- Why is envy a BIG thing in our society? Why do we still see people hiding their possessions afraid of the evil eye?Now this could be true in foreign lands like Asia or Africa for sure, but why do I feel it more here than there?
Did you know that when you actually, truly, deeply,honestly wish the people good things, good returns the favor in your face? Do these sick people know that they are spreading hatred among one another? Why can’t they ask how instead of wish them bad? Why not be humble if you can’t take the heat of other peoples things and hard earned bounties?
I wrote this article to stir the minds of people and see the power of the subconscious mind. In some cases I can actually see the facial expressions transform in front of me when I talk about a milestone covered or new thing bought. Their face seems to be in shock at first, then they realize it( too late, the haters!) and transform it into an ugly shaped smile, you know the one where they don’t actually open their mouth, and bend their head in approval.
Nothing is more gratifying than a clean soul big on other peoples happiness.

I have never believed in JES.
I am totally aware that some people may have bad intentions, but what can just a look do??!!
What kind of radiations could direct negative energy towards a very specific thing??
INTENTIONS ARE NOTHING WITHOUT ACTIONS.
The worst thing that they could be contagious;”when we are around gloomy folks we become gloomy our selves” it is our thoughts. When we strongly believe that something bad gonna happen because of JES we end up hurting our selves.
Hope I did not cause a sparkle.
Great way to look at it. Its the secret at work. It works in both directions btw
