Hanukkah: Kabbalistic meaning and interpretation

There were, one can say, first candle of Hanukkah, which has to do with, as I said before, the name of it, has to do with the joining of parts, which are sort of belongs to  last generation, and they are outside of the main body of Torah, but they have to sort of create and form themselves as the support, the support system to complete the will of the Creator. So when we speak about the portion, and it coincides with the first candle of Chanukah, which is to do with VaYeshev, it's actually a question that we need to ask ourselves, is the question of that time: What is the power that actually concealed itself, and still concealing itself, but acts as our captive, and the way we are willing to cooperate with it?

So I can say that this time, the grace that belongs to this time, is to be able to reveal or to see, to perceive our captivity, the way we are imprisoned by, one can say, perception of the world, perception of what is real, the perception of truth, and perception of ourself, of our destiny. So it's definitely a clearing time, but it's not for use; it's just for  enablement of any kind of true spirituality, not of the kind that we are so used to call spirituality in our time.

It's not only to do with New Age; it has to do with all sorts of ideas, theories, that even are deeply rooted within religions of what we call religion today. So, all of this is to do with the way I wish to sort of approach this portion of VaYeshev, which has to do with imprisonment, what kind of perception imprisons Yaakov, Yosef, his brothers, Egypt as a whole, Pharaoh,and what is the destiny of the meeting point, or one can say of exile, I mean, the redemption.
