How to find Love! Straight from The Exodus!

Raise Your Hands, Receive Love, Rebuke the Fear That Closes You Down

There is a hidden pattern in the Torah.

Before you can receive love, you have to survive closeness.

Because closeness triggers fear.

Not always because something is wrong

but because something is real.

When the Presence gets near, the ego feels exposed.

The nervous system thinks exposure equals danger.

So it tightens.

It starts bargaining.

It starts doubting.

It starts running.

The Torah trains us through sequence, not slogans.

To receive אהבה you must pass through the parshiyot that teach you how to stand inside pressure without collapsing.

Step 1 Parashat Vaera

When it gets worse right before it gets free

In Vaera, redemption begins, and then the pain intensifies. Pharaoh hardens. The labor becomes heavier. The people break.

This is not a detour. It is the first lesson of intimacy with G d.

When G d comes closer, the resistance often rises first.

So the עבודה here is not to feel inspired.

It is to stay loyal.

Vaera teaches this inner rule

Do not judge the truth of the path by the discomfort of the moment.

If you can hold steady while it gets louder

you are building a vessel for love.

Step 2 Parashat Bo

Love is received through action that defies fear

Bo is where Israel stops being passive.

They take a lamb, they mark the doorposts, they eat ready to move. They perform faith with their bodies.

The doorpost blood is not magic.

It is identity.

It says

This house belongs to covenant, not to panic.

This home is guarded by obedience, not by adrenaline.

Bo teaches this rule

Love is not received by waiting until fear disappears. Love is received by moving while fear is still talking.

Step 3 Parashat Beshalach

The hands, the sea, and the battle for the heart

Now you arrive at the sea.

There is a moment where prayer alone is not the final move. The command becomes action.

Move forward.

Then comes Amalek, the attack on inner certainty. And what defeats Amalek is not only weapons. It is posture.

Moshe raises his hands. When the hands drop, Israel weakens. When the hands rise, Israel strengthens.

The hands are a signal to the soul.

They declare

I am not ruled by fear.

I am aligned upward.

I choose trust over contraction.

Beshalach teaches this rule

Raising your hands is choosing your direction when fear tries to choose for you.

Why closeness triggers fear

Love demands openness.

Fear demands control.

So when love approaches, fear screams because it is losing power.

That is why people sabotage good relationships.

That is why people run right when they are about to heal.

That is why holiness can feel threatening.

Not because it is harmful.

Because it is intimate.

The practice

Raise your hands and speak to fear, sharply and holy

This is not about becoming numb.

This is about refusing to obey panic.

Try this structure, simple and repeatable

1 Name it

Say

This is fear. Not truth. Not prophecy.

2 Raise your hands

In prayer, in your room, even for ten seconds.

Let your body teach your brain that you are not trapped.

3 Rebuke it out loud

You can say it in your own words, strong and direct

Fear, you do not lead me.

You are a signal, not a king.

I choose the mission.

I choose covenant.

I choose love.

4 Do one act of redemption

One small action that matches who you are becoming.

A message you were avoiding.

A page of learning.

A walk.

A hard truth spoken gently.

A boundary.

A commitment.

Because that is Bo again.

Love arrives through action.

The Torah sequence as a map

Vaera teaches you not to panic when it intensifies.

Bo teaches you to act while fear still speaks.

Beshalach teaches you to lift your hands and stay aligned when Amalek attacks your certainty.

This is how you receive love.

Not as a mood.

As a vessel.

Not as comfort.

As covenant.

And when fear is triggered by closeness, you do not run.

You lift your hands.

You speak to it.

You move anyway.

That is how a person becomes free to truly love.
