The teaching
Yosef dreamed of the sun and moon bowing to him — then was thrown into a pit.
This is the teaching of Vayeishev. Real vision, announced too soon. Yosef had genuine prophetic dreams, but he hadn't yet built the vessel to hold them. He rose before he had rooted.
Your body knows this. Legs pressing down, spine quiet, weight settling through the heels into the earth. You learn to stand before you move.
Thirteen years in slavery were that standing. The pit built what the palace never could.
Press your heels down right now. You rise only as deep as you root.
