One of the most fascinating experiences in life is the notion of speed

Imagine living even just five hundred years ago, the fastest a person could get from point a. to point b. would basically be about 1-3miles an hour, which included both walking and wagon driving, as horses cannot run very far without needed a lot of rest (which is why the pony express changed horses every 10-15 miles) so to make this whole thing realistic, the journey from New York to San Francisco by coach took six months, on the other hand, when trains came in, it took on average ten days, today we do it in six hours.
But today we have Facetime, this very second, I can literally be talking – and have – with my children in South-Africa.
In other words – gone are the very notion of boundaries.
Time really is a boundary – but its boundary is only limited by speed.
The Rebbe explains: the physical, is a manifestation of the spiritual.
The advancement of speed and ultimately the current lack of time boundaries with us – in instant communication – is a profound spiritual notion, for what once upon a time took someone six months to ten days or even six hours of traveling time to cross boundaries, today it is all available instantaneously – as long as you push the button, connecting the infinite one to you!
