Question: Who are the Egyptians and Israelites in spiritual work?

Answer: The Torah speaks of a person as an object that includes the entire world. Everything is inside a person.

The Egyptians in us are egoistic forces; the Israelites are altruistic forces or forces that want to be altruistic but are under the control of the Egyptians (egoism).

Pharaoh represents the entire egoism in which we exist.

The Creator is the upper force that governs Pharaoh, Moses, and everyone else. His task is to bring all creation to become similar to Him, to altruism. But this requires recognizing egoism as evil and exiting it.
Moses is the force that represents a part of the Creator, which is located inside a person and pulls him forward to the revelation and attainment of the upper spiritual qualities.

Between these forces, interactions occur where a person feels within himself which of his desires are egoistic, which are altruistic, which require a connection with the Creator, and which cling to the Pharaoh.

Thus, he sorts them out in himself, and as a result of his work understands what is speaking within him; he sees that he is completely under the authority of the Pharaoh. Wherever he turns, there is the Pharaoh hiding inside of him.

It seems to him that he is already working for the sake of bestowal and love for the other and that he is above all earthly egoistic desires, but he continues to constantly reveal them inside himself. In the end, he does not just despair, but he is convinced that the Pharaoh owns him 100%.

At the same time, a special point becomes apparent within him called Moses, which opposes the Pharaoh. It enters a fight with him and condemns itself to the ten Egyptian plagues, which must be performed on the egoism. In this way, a person begins to understand that he can get rid of the ego. But how? This is not clear yet.

With this feeling, he enters the dark night, where, on one hand, it is not visible and it is not clear how the redemption takes place, but on the other hand, he longs for it. This night is called the night of the exit from Egypt, which we celebrate at Passover.
