Do You Want To Leave Your Own Egypt This Passover???

leaving your personal Egypt you know the Jewish people they left Egypt 3,334 years ago but each one of us is going to leave our personal Egypt this particular Passover so what is it all about so really people have a very very small view of themselves people see themselves as like these scrawny nothings I remember when my grandfather used to take us to sheep shearing he was a wool Trader he would take us sheep sharing and we would get out of his Jeep and there would be all these gigantic sheep and we were so scared of the sheep we were hiding under his legs and they were really going to be shorn so they got to the shearers and the Sheep you know would go from these gigantic Woolen sheep to these scrawny goopy you know full of uh what's called lanolin uh you know very thin scrawny sheep just like oversized rats or something we came out from under my grandfather's legs we were no longer afraid of those sheep each one of us has underneath all the wool we all have that scrawny sheep that that uh what we call mnus in uh in uh Hebrew which means uh constricted Consciousness but even a constricted Consciousness about ourselves and we so we live very often in a very small view of ourselves now what's the wool so the wool is is how we show up that you know look at me with all my wool you look at my beautiful coat of wool and we show off and we go for attention and we do you know anything to not feel that scrawny self well the term for scraw in Hebrew is the word matar madik R and the word for wall isik me it's the same letters now why would it be that the big coat of wool is the same letters as the scrawny self the answer is is because the root of the showing off the root of the attention seeking the root of the being the big guy is really the scrawny guy underneath the showoff is the person who's really afraid that they're not worthy of anyone's attention whatsoever and so here in lies The Secret of leaving your personal Egypt it's a chance right now to take a moment and just look inside yourself and say Where am I really generating from am I generating from a an expanded Consciousness which in Hebrews it's probably Aramaic or am I which is expansive expansive Consciousness which includes how I see myself as a portion of God I'm a I'm part of God I'm I'm created in His image like a really expanded version of self or am I really seeing myself as the scrawny good for nothing no one wants them no one needs them no one you know that that uh you know failure small unwanted unworthy worthless self which is the scraw that's the Egypt that's the matar and so we have this chance on the 10th of Nissan which is my birthday we're going to have this chance which is coming up in a few days where we take that sheep and we tie it to we tie it up and inspect it for 4 days you know just like the P view which runs at least in America for 4 days or in England runs for 4 days so we inspect the Sheep like where am I where I generating from is it from the the big self the self that comes straight from Hashem or is it from the the negative beliefs inside of myself is that where I'm generating from and then of course am I surviving off this big Cal wall meaning is is am I trying to be big stuff in the world trying to get attention trying to seek adoration is that what's going on with me and if it is you know it's true because it's exhausting it's exhausting it's and it's never enough got to keep doing it got to keep doing it cuz a second you would stop using those tactics for that attention so then you're right back to the scrawny you know narrowness and so we are very um we so this is our chance is to go deep inside to look into ourselves and say what am I all about where am I generating from and and then on the fourth day of inspection which is the 14th of Nissan what do we do we Slaughter the sheep and then we go out to freedom and then we eat it we eat the schwarma the Corbin Passover the the pesak offering the Pascal lamb we're the Pascal lamb that we we sacrifice ourselves to just do what's right to just do what's good to make a difference in the world to be a to be a a uh contribution so I'm not taking but I'm I'm actually giving and that is the ultimate freedom and that's the ultimate Freedom also to serve Hashem to be a servant of God in this world P happy and Kosher Passover
