Here again, there is a grain of truth in this kind of historical representation of envy and its origins and consequences. The falling out in heaven, of the angelics working with Lucifer, began with envy of those with greater authority and a greater measure of control and influence on things, perceived as "a greater level of status," and that envy fueled the ego and resulted in conduct that was out of alignment, and grew in frequency and intensity, causing those angels to experience a greater and greater deviation from the ideal divine alignment they had enjoyed. The further they departed from that ideal, the harder they found it to recover until eventually, it became impossible for them, and this downward spiral led to a state of being where they refused all help, through a growing mistrust and then fear of the light, not wanting to have to face an inevitable reckoning as seeming far too painful. That is a huge price to pay—being at the risk of never returning to heaven and eventually losing everything through a recycling of the soul back into a basic generic energy—the ultimate expression of death forever.
This speaks strongly of the wisdom in not overreaching because someone is further along in their journey, has more learning and capability, and thus enjoys the advantages you have not acquired yet. There are no real shortcuts to such attainment other than putting in the effort and the work, the passion, the duty, and the meeting of responsibilities to remain steadfast and see to your personal growth and learning. That is how all rewards come about, they cannot simply be taken from others and, to the extent you might become preoccupied and be envious, it becomes an attack on your very soul at some point because it will sideline you through misdirection and a lowering of your sights to indulge in negativity that is destructive and ultimately life-limiting.
