THE GREATER THE CHALLENGE THE MORE PRIMAL YOUR DESIRE MUST BE         *the greater the challenge    the more primal your desire must be    and    the more primal your desire is    the more the challenge turns into bliss

*and we all are stuck in some kind of story some kind of exile  and the doors to freedom refuse to open so we somehow settle in  and build our lives around that impossibility accepting acquiescing comfortable in this cocoon    *but that special day  that rare occasion  presents itself  and we find ourselves garbed in the meta-physical lvush-garb of the Israelites of old faced with that same primal choice  to stay or to go    Go Now

*and when a person finds  that they get to a space where they can't stand it anymore they scream out from such a deep place  that the world submits itself to them and says ....ok, go go.. go now    *and the doors [the impossible to open doors] come flying open  and the wise ones  run out immediately  and the logical , careful, calculating ones  they stay where they are forever

GO NOW    *we are a microcosmic people  everything outside of us  is inside of us    *and that whole egyptian experience  of escaping the being trapped situation is inside of us  right now [with a special intensity]

**No matter what you do    What you say    No matter which way you face    Which way you feel     How you move    How you do what you do    You can’t break free    You certainly can’t speak                ** When you're immobilized    Impotent-ized    Paralyzed    Then the only thing    That I can say    Is that you have to leap    Out of your personal Egypt    In any way that you can    Every night    And every day    In any way that you can

LEAVING EGYPT EVERY DAY                **The Kur habarzel    The iron furnace    The mission impossible    When you're stuck in that place    There is really  no where to look for help     There is no way to pull yourself out               **When you are stuck    in a state of constriction    When you are stuck     in a place of small mindedness     You don’t have any extras to draw upon    You don't have any extra reservoirs to draw upon     no extra associated thoughts     no extra plans that you can pull out     like a magician pulls a rabbit out of the hat    You don’t have those things     because you are stuck in a stranglehold     in Mitzrayim in your own personal Egypt

*****and we are Down here     in the shadow world    Down here in the narrow straits    Down here in the darkness     Down here in Mitzrayim    Down here in the MEITZARIM    Down here in the narrow straits     Down here in the confusion                 ******And if it wasn’t for Hashem,    then who is with us    When this constant barrage    comes up against us    we'd be like a bird    caught in a hunter's trap                ******But in His endless mercy    He breaks the lock and the bird escapes

THE BIRD ESCAPES           ***** For 209 years    Our ancestors    Our proverbial ancestors    Our nonverbal ancestors     Our slave mentality ancestors    Our suffering ancestors    Were put into a strangle-hold    They could not breathe     in the true sense of breathing    They could not see    not in the true sense of seeing    They couldn’t hear Hashem’s voice           *******And we are them    and they are us     isn't it obvious    how us and them    and time and space  melt away     in the intensity of these chaotic days

listen to  what they're chanting with their still small voices--------it seems you really have no other choice-----if you truly want to return to the luminosity--------the odyssey of the potential human condition calls out your name------- go now ----somehow you will find your way out of here ----and know that the greater the challenge—the greater will your desire navigate you to the home of the brave and the land of the free-----and trust in the distant shores now appearing on the horizon-------to lead you to the times when lives will be reclaimed and the correct choices will be chosen ------a time  when one door closes---another one opens-----so leave your personal Egypts every day---------follow the free bird who knows the art of breaking away

*Set list parsha vaeira 2021*      THE POETRY OF PERSONAL EXODUS    Dear sacred strugglers of the endless night…..dear former citizens of the lands of luminosity------you know better than to believe what you presently see……..come on now---if you can't breathe---how can you believe that this way of living---is the only option available to you now------look underneath the happenings--------

Warning! EARMUFFS for the children!... please don't freely listen to this shiur on your house speakers. There are a lot of freaky and super-not-pretty commonalities between the parsha and these crazy times... and a lot of profound lessons about enslavement and subjugation... AS we taste the darkness of the exile, both in our personal lives and in the parsha, let us pray... 'some say that Hashem sent the Jewish people into exile so He could bring them out with a display of the most spectacular miracles the world has ever seen' (Deutsch).... may it be so! Thank you JIC Israel Shiur & Beer, Johnny Stross and some mid-shiur shout-outs to some fellow truth seekers in this shiur Leah Rivka Sand Soetendorp, Avnei Shelem Yaakov Fauci Yehoishophot Oliver Carolyn Croft Shlomo and Shammai Siskind and some other Jedi Light Warriors that shall remained unnamed...
