Step By Step - Rabbi Gershon Turetsky

in this week's parasha we're introduced to the foreign four stages in the gula process the first one is we are taken out from the steve which he explains to me is that we didn't even understand and appreciate that we were in gulas so step one is a realization that we don't belong in mitzrayim step two vagalty took us out of the physical servitude of matriarchy and he freed us from the physical oppression that we were experiencing is that not only will we free from the oppression in a physical state but also in a mental state as well it's very difficult to remove from us the trauma of being enslaved to mitzrayim and villa khatti is that akash broker took us as his nation so these are the four steps in the ghoula process explained to the best but perhaps it could also be the four steps in their own personal we have to understand and appreciate that the gula process or the chuva process or the process of becoming the ode hashem that we want to be is a step-by-step process and it's these four steps as well it's understanding safety understanding that we are oppressed understanding that we struggle understanding that we face difficulties to even just the realization that things are not the way that they should be is step one of the process and number two is being salty it's saving ourselves removing ourselves from situations and circumstances that are negative for us and then then it's working on ourselves to remove ourselves to divorce ourselves totally from the either physical or spiritual or mental oppression we've been under because of the state of our affairs so to speak and and it's then once we've achieved this the first three steps we are able to once again be embraced by and embrace the kardash who of course has been helping us embracing us along the way but it is a state of completion of our process so whatever stage we're at in life whatever our struggles are there's always room for improvement and the way we improve is from time to time taking a spiritual accounting of who we are and seeing where we have root to grow and then following the step-by-step process of the hotel and through that because hashem will not only make ourselves better people but the world a better place and helping from here you
