Upon contemplate on meaning of eliminating Chometz

I followed you through the class and found it to be very practical. The hierarchy you build between layers of our psyche and type of elimination of Chometz that sages determined for us is very profound and may be beautiful reconciled with modern psychology. The question aroused when you told that sale of chometz is the final step and there is nothing higher than that. It might be true from G-d’s perspective, but who is immune from strong temptation of stealing back something precious ( our habits, addictions etc. included) that had been sold?
In this case I think that this hierarchy of all types of elimination or crashing our ego is pretty relevant. It is different case by case, and we may get directions from Him (you can call it epiphany) what type of cleansing we have to focus on in particular time and particular place. Statistic would not help here; it’s Tanya that can help but with good portion of our own SECHAL. (not sure of correct spelling)
