Come (with me)

THE BIG IDEA

How do you establish intimacy with a person or people who have only ever known toxic leadership and oppressive relational styles? 

This week’s Torah Omens invite us to come learn God’s formula; control the heart of the villain, execute a series of supernatural punishments so wondrous they will be told and re-told across time, and require the people to take physical action (in the moment and be re-enacted yearly). 

Unhooking a people from a toxic environment takes extreme measures, complete transparency, follow up and eternal maintenance. 

Take some time this weekend to examine places in your life you need a punishing God to come in and break you free from physical, emotional, and mental manipulations, addictions and abuses.  

Allow locusts to strip down the truth of your internal situation, sit in absolute darkness, and make a conscious choice to let this ancient prescribed method of spiritual liberation unhook you from the unhealthy ways you are treated or treat yourself.

Powerful transformational energy is open, use this cosmic residue from this historic liberation (of the Hebrews from Egypt) to lift yourself out of any stuck places, refine your pleasure buds, and spare yourself another cycle of needless suffering.

note — One thing we learn is that liberation is a constant practice. 

Spiritual liberation frees all the other bodies (physical, emotional, mental) because it has the power to connect all your various parts into a singular divine purpose and unify all aspects of your self.

PRACTICAL EXERCISE 

Part 1: Creating a Vision.

Have a vision for something you want in your life.

Write it down on a paper in the form of a prayer. 

Please _-_-_-_ help me become/do/achieve _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 

Complete the vision all the way to the way you want your achievement to be remembered for all time. 

Part 2: Anticipating resistance

Come back to your vision.

Write down any potential blocks from achieving your goal(s).

Remember that in the cosmic design God was responsible for heartening Pharaoh’s heart in order to create a story of overcoming resistance that would be worthy of eternal praise. 

Keep focus on your personal vision and find the Pharaoh (even inside you) keeping you from moving forward.

Remember you are accessing the same creative process as God, but you are not God, you are just as likely Pharaoh offering resistance to your own dreams as you are the one trying to make them happen. 

Part 3: Create a ritual to remember your ability to bring vision into memory

Create a ritual that will commemorate your achievement and forward movement towards liberation from any places that you are stuck.

I highly recommend using the well established passover rituals that arrive every spring to commemorate your personal achievements along with the historic spiritual liberation of the Hebrew people.

Part 4 : Prepare yourself to succeed

Move through these next weeks melting the layers of your resistance so that you are ready to move forward on the 14th of Nissan. 

Shabbat Shalom and Happy New Month!
