Moshiach has already begun!

This is one of the hardest concepts to understand for our classic definition of Moshiach – namely a king will arise who will fight the wars of God, will rebuild the Beis Hamikdosh, will ingather all the Jews from exile – hasn’t happened.
But the true definition of Moshiach is very different, for such a figure the Jews had many times – in other words, we were often in Israel with all our people, with the holy temple, with warrior righteous kings who conquered the lands surrounding Israel as King David did for King Solomon.
Obviously Moshiach cannot be a reenactment of the old.
Moshiach is in fact mainly a single thing, namely as our sages state, exile was an engagement and Moshiach is marriage.
Since the giving of the Torah till the present era Jews and God were merely engaged.
The whole truth was not revealed to man.
Only with the advent of Chassidus did the full story become revealed and the full story is beyond anybodies wildest imagination, which is why it is so hard to understand that Moshiach has already begun to come.
The full story is simple:
There are three levels.
The first is us which or whom we know.
The second is spirituality which we dabble in.
But God is in fact closer to us than spirituality, for spirituality is merely an intermediate from God to us, like the Torah teaches us, how to reveal our own Godly soul which is why we can contribute to the Torah.
In other words, God is not spirituality, hence the ability of God is not the limitation of spirituality.
Spirituality means something distinct from our psyche and we believe it to be beyond us.
But God is not.
Hence God has the ability to unite on our terms, in our lives, about our problems and issues.
