Episode Synopsis

Are you ready to Assume your Role in the Tapestry of Creation? Pharaoh begins to share his dream with Joseph in Genesis 41:

[Genesis 41:17-18 chabad.org] “17 In my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile. 18 And behold, seven cows of robust flesh and handsome form were ascending from the Nile, and they pastured in the marshland.”

The dream shows us Pharaoh’s philosophy of life. To Pharaoh, life is a river with himself standing on the riverbank. He sees himself on the outside of the river's flow meaning that he is a passive bystander to what takes place in life. Pharaoh’s philosophy of life is diametrically opposed to Joseph’s philosophy of life. Joseph recounts his dream in Genesis 37:

[Genesis 37:7 KJV] "7 For, behold, we [were] binding sheaves in the field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood upright; and, behold, your sheaves stood round about, and made obeisance to my sheaf."

Both Pharaoh and Joseph see the future in their dreams with a significant difference. To Joseph, life is a field where he works. He sees himself laboring in the field. He is an active participant within the tapestry of Creation. To Pharaoh, life is like a river where he stands as a passive bystander. There is no fulfillment within the Pharaohic mindset. In contrast, you have the potential to experience tremendous fulfillment and invigoration when you assume your role in the tapestry of Creation with the mindset of Joseph.
