Exodus 3:22 · World English Bible
But every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her who visits her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing. You shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters. You shall plunder the Egyptians.
The spirit within gathers up consciousness and god consciousness from the bondage it is leaving and passes them to every faculty of a person. The woman is spirit, and she draws silver, which is consciousness, and gold, which is god consciousness, out of the house that has held her, then lays these upon the sons and daughters, the inner faculties she is raising.

ESOTERIC
The spirit within gathers up consciousness and god consciousness from the bondage it is leaving and passes them to every faculty of a person. The woman is spirit, and she draws silver, which is consciousness, and gold, which is god consciousness, out of the house that has held her, then lays these upon the sons and daughters, the inner faculties she is raising. To spoil the Egyptians is to strip the old left-brain captivity of its treasures and carry them into the freedom ahead. Nothing of value is left behind in the bondage; the awakening self takes consciousness itself as its plunder.
When the spirit leaves its old captivity it does not go empty but carries consciousness and god consciousness out with it, dressing every part of a person in what was reclaimed.
Woman: the spirit within a person, gathering treasure as it leaves bondage Silver: consciousness itself, drawn out of the old captivity Gold: god consciousness, the higher awareness reclaimed House: yourself, the dwelling from which the treasure is taken Egyptians: the old left-brain bondage whose treasures are carried into freedom

What you take from a hard season is your own judgment and character, and no one can confiscate that. The circumstance goes, the thing you built in it stays.
The lotus does not grow on dry ground, it grows out of mud and water. Awakening comes up out of the troubled conditions, not away from them.
Rumi says the reed must be cut from the reed bed before it can make any sound. The loss is what turns the hollow thing into music.
