As I read through this
Parasha
This Parashas is the
ninth Torah Portion, Vayeishev means “and
he settled.” After devoting a mere chapter to the genealogy of Esau and his
offspring, the Torah now turn to the story of Jacob and his family. As been its
practice, the Torah gives short narrative to people who have fallen short of
its goal, but speaks volumes of those who have managed to overcome and secure
their inheritance.
So it was that great men
like Noah, Abraham, and Isaac were discussed in great details, while millions
of others men and women since creation, were mention briefly, and some not at
all. It is not what is written on my tomb stone that is of concern to me. It is
what is written about me in the Lamb’s Book of Life that I am concern about.
Jacob had twelve sons and
one daughter. The Torah says that Jacob gave to Joseph, the second youngest son
more than the other, so much so that Jacob gave Joseph a beautiful coat of many
colors.
Understandably from a
purely human perspective, how the other sons ego allow them to became jealous
of Joseph. Adding to the tension, Joseph ego also moved him to tell his brother
his dream, the purpose of his life. Like all who are govern by the selfish Ego,
the circumstance of life moves us to perceived situations that will benefit us
and reject the seemingly negative, so the brothers understand that Joseph desire
was to rule over them.
They, like many of us
today, we fail to understand the circumstance in which our ego would function,
and the benefit of Joseph talents would eventuality saved there lives. This
Parashas was written to instruct believers that we are living in the present;
we have no idea of the future. The circumstance that occurs in our lives today
is to provide us with the necessary tools that when the future arrive we will
be ready for it.
If Jacob’s sons and we would
only pray for revelation, they as well as we might have understood why we like
Joseph was given these dreams. The CREATOR will never leave us without a
witness. As Yahushua says some of us are given 5, 2, and 1 talent and life is
design for us to transform our selfish talents to a talent that loves.
The brothers took these
dreams to mean that Joseph intend to rule over then, so YAHVEH send Him ahead
to prepare a way for then as a savior would. It was a prospect they did not
understand, when looking at it from a selfish egotistic point of view. In fact
they were so resentful that they made a plan to even kill him. Every time an
emotion is trigger in our lives, let’s pay close attention to our reaction; for
within our emotions, our true character is manifested.
Every crime, every antisocial
behavior, every misunderstanding is a result of the inner programming of our
consciousness on our Ego, which determine our emotion. Human treat these
emotions by seeing each other in the Prisons of the 10%, ABBA YAHVEH uses these
emotions or characteristic traits to show us what we are to change to achieve
the 90%.
By placing people into
prisons does nothing to renovate the ego. Prison is an institution that
magnifies our already selfish ego. These boys were all sons of the promise;
however, the selfishness of their Ego was been exposed. Now is the time to deal
with the exposed selfish traits.
