Ahah is what we say once in a while when a truth penetrates

The Rebbe teaches us that we are in the Messianic era, an era mainly categorized by a complete and total unity with God.
Now for two things to unify there must be a third higher force capable of uniting disparate entities. Take two pieces of paper, there must be glue that can stick them together.
The ultimate glue is a level of Godliness that transcends the previous revealed levels of Godliness namely, The Essence Of God, the creator of Godliness.
Basically there are three dimensions to the creative energy that flows to create everything we see etc.
The highest is God himself, the second is what is called Haveyeh the holy name which we pronounce not, being beyond time and space, yet being the forerunner of the energy which comes into name Elohim which is the Godly energy that manifests into time and space; in other words, that limits the Godly infinite light (for if infinity was revealed nothing else could be independently existing, like plugging in your computer straight into the nuclear reactor,) so here the Godly energy is limited, contracted, concealed and all we see is the physical, not the God that is its true essence.
Now both Elohim and Haveyeh relate to limitation, one is beyond space and time (an infinite being hence limited to the role of infinity) and Elohim is within space and time, hence limited to the role of finite.
The essence of God is unique in that he created both the unlimited and limited, for he is infinite potential, but non-defined in either infinity or non-infinity (i.e. finite.)
Now the ultimate G-d is not Elohim nor Haveyeh but the essence, and this level is beginning to unite in all people.
Now while man and God couldn’t previously unite – if man sees the face of God he shall surely die, was told even to Moses, the greatest prophet ever – this is only because the lower level of Haveyeh was revealed and this being infinite would be like the example we brought before of plugging in your computer into the nuclear reactor.
