Limited or unlimited thinking, that’s the question?

A Rebbe’s thought process included the unlimited element.
Menachem Begin would often take counsel from the Lubavitcher Rebbe – coming out of one of his meetings, they asked him once, – what do you think? “He knows Israel better than I do he replied, and he believes in God like a savta Grandmother.”
In other words, our thinking is often limited thinking.
We see the reality we have seen and imagine the future to be like the past and base our present decisions on this paradigm.
This obviously is limited.
There is a famous book called black swan.
Researchers left England to travel to the distant continent of Australia and found a unique black fish like thing.
It looked like a swan but as it was black it was a different species.
After much categorization of the new specie they were eventually informed by greater minds that in England there are only white swans but in Australia there are also black swans.
The premise of the book is that no person can really predict the future for the variables are too great.
Black swan, is very much about the financial model, but certainly about the reality of life itself.
Could anyone have predicted the internet – could anyone have predicted cell phones – even people who had computers and regular phones couldn’t have predicted this, how much more so all the upgrades and new revelations that the future will hold.
One person I know believes that just as we look at the olden days as not having technology soon the day will come when they will look at all of our technology as if it isn’t technology.
Should the horse and wagon be any different of the future perhaps car planes we will use relative to the clunks, gas guzzling cars, of today.
Now this is a disconcerting thought, because if we stand for anything, it is order.
By nature our minds hate not being able to predict, for there is the fear of the unknown.
But what if it is a known?!
And this is the heading of the article, unlimited thinking!
Through looking through the unlimited mind of God who directs reality we can truly see the future and quite simply, based on all the sources it will look like this.
The holy temple will come from the sky.
Clouds will bring all Jews to Israel.
All the great Tzaddikim, righteous men and prophets of the old will arise.
One of them, probably the Lubavitcher Rebbes, will be Moshiach, if not all of the Moshiachs i.e. David etc.
The world will have prosperity to the extent that fruits and vegetables will produce an abundance that there will be no more need to worry about food etc.
In this state of plenty, all people will desire, is, truth – for it is the natural desire of man in Maslow’s hierarchy which we have reached in the western world in any event.
The greatest secrets of God will be revealed through the “new” Torah of Moshiach.
We will (forty years after the coming of the Moshiach) experience the resurrection of the dead.
In this era, miracles will be natural and nature will be miraculous.
All animals will become herbivores and non-aggressive as it states, the child will put his hand on the vipers nest and the wolf will lie with the lamb.
