How perception creates perceptions

People have this image of men and women based on their perception of how they viewed women and men, which obviously was first encountered with their parents, siblings etc.
Ultimately we build an associative picture of the universe.
So say you had a sweet dog, you love all dogs; say you got bitten by a dog, you are afraid hence hate (for we hate the feeling of fear) all dogs!
Ultimately the question is never perception, for that is a highly subjective limited false paradigm; as in reality, it relates only to our emotional reaction based on specific stimuli which not only can’t be applied to all things in that category, cannot even be applied to what we saw, because, maybe the dog was afraid of you or maybe the dog had a positive experience with people, hence perceives you in his associative picture of the universe, as a source of joy.
So what is the true perception?
So the true perception is what comes to us from the Rebbe, pure undiluted Judaism – God’s – truth as revealed in all of Judaism, from Kabbalah down to Chumash etc.
And what then is the Rebbes perception?
Well the Rebbe being a Chossid perceived the same universe the Baal Shem Tov perceived, albeit clarified it a large extent, as Chabad Chassidus did for us!
And what is this clarity?!
* 1. All is God
* 2. The Jewish people are God’s purpose of creation
* 3. God is for man
* 4. Man finds meaning by being for God
* 5. Our generation will witness the coming of Moshiach
* 6. We need to give all our money to charity to bring Moshiach! Sent via my BlackBerry from Vodacom – let your email find you!
