Rabbi,
I have been diagnosed with bi polar disorder. Are you saying it's not biological, rather I'm trying to philosophize a dishwasher on my shoulder?

So go outside yourself and be a guest watching yourself! It'll give you a different perspective!

RE: the 10 machot
the Midrash says, there was a speciric reason, based on the Egyptians/Pharoah's behaviors towards the Jews, for each of the plagues.

The story about the tailor amazingly explains some dysfunctional systems. It took a beautiful Torah yiddishkeit and crippled it to fit their narrative. Never heard a better metaphor.

Maybe the rabbis only talk about it because
they haven't actually experienced it (the getting into yourself so as to heal?). I think that if a person (rabbi) experiecned it, he would share that experience, and I haven't heard that experience being described by someone who actually experienced it. It's like you say, it's easy to talk about it; it's much more difficult to actually experience it.

Question for Rabbi YY

The Pharoah with Moshe said "I made myself"
Abd "I don't know this G-d"
But....the Pharoah with Yosef said "Surely the spirit of G-d is in this man", i.w. he recognized Hashem..
Some say it was the same Pharoah but he changed. But it was over 200 years later!
So it was a new Pharoah. Looks like these Pharoahs didn't have an effective mesorah!

Rav and Shmuel....
The New Pharaoh was in denial. You know that Shmuel was a talented Dr.?
Psychologist?? This is according to Admore Hazaken!
This discussion is literaly above time and space.
This is how we can grasp the reality of this world which is truly ungraspable.
What's Pharoah?
A totally new, different, wild, unruly crazy 'yetzer hara.
That's the tradition that we are referring to here.
Hashem goes down with us into this psychotic disconnected reality.
