Thanks for the reply.
Ok so forget a story written in bible language then… how do we get guidance on our lives we are living?If the language of the bible isn’t the highest but something I’ve attained is more relevant, I have scenarios I could use help deciphering. I just thought the bible was a good example to help outline but if not, I can ask based off my own examples like yours of being called husband and dad.
would that help?
When do we map out specific stories in scripture?
everything so far that makes sense makes sense directly because of Torah….The repetitive nature of the process.
is it possible to not be sure exactly where you are, but by just overcoming ego and submitting to the process and working on our desires, we do the same work until there’s results?
For those of us who are helped by stories….
Am I correct to think there is an explanation here that matches the experiences of Joseph?
He had a position as favourite amongst his brothers, and a clothing (coat of colours) and lost it, then went “down” sold, but we elevated to Potiphar’s top overseer, but then he lost his coat again. Prison was another down in the ups and downs.
He would have worn Egyptian clothes in the next phase and the final reveal was more subtle as he didn’t change clothes per ce but instead became known to his brothers.Is there a parallel here to the process? Like buying a steak, being favourite of brothers. Half a steak = head of Potiphar but still a slave. Just fish = being head over prisoners. Just salad is now being head of egypt but desires are refined enough to manage such responsibility. And just a piece of bread is now being able to be trusted with his brothers again?????
Am I remotely on the right page? And if so… do you have content connecting this story? Or maybe another story?
A link would be great!!!!
Interestingly enough, it’s around this point I felt to put the studying aside to spend time worshipping.
I once heard this as a picture: the angels run towards his beautiful presence and they become awe struck with the amount of light and as if they bounce back a bit, they cry HOLY HOLY HOLY and run in again!!!
I don’t know how accurate the concept is, but I use it as motivation from time to time.
