the truth, nothing but the truth, so help me God

 

the truth is as the Bible of Jewish mysticism and completed by the Rebbe, the seventh generation – the level of humility that integrates the truth has taught, is as follows:

in order to understand something there are two mechanisms, the first is inside out, the other, outside in

effectively science is looking from the outside in – we look say at a flower and dissect it and say what its components are – however this can never tell you why the flower was made

Chassidus is the reverse, we look at God and say why he made the flower

When the Rebbe first accepted, the Rebbe position, he began that this world is God’s garden.

And inside the garden there is a bridal chamber.

God was the ultimate bachelor looking for unity, for no matter how great you are, nothing can compare to love.

So as we know in a marriage, it doesn’t help if I wish you to marry me, you must likewise seek the same.

So God cast us into our ridiculous sexual and egotistical fancies, until having had our fill of these ridiculous stupidities, whether by the way of conquest that led to horrific (hence being repulsed by it we abandoned power) wars etc. – from the sexual revolution which did away with norms and people became bunny rabbits (with the pill) and realized that too was stupidity.

Once a human has had his fill of stupidity, his soul begins to wonder – why am I here? what is the purpose of life? (ironically the Arabs who as the commentators teach us were blessed with tranquility on their sand dunes, where they spent fantasizing world take overs for four thousand years, have no real life experience – though dare I say, now that they are horrifically killing one another, they may also wake up, as Egypt has done.)

Now truth is not an intellectual idea – it doesn’t exist in a vacuum – rather truth is God – it is simply God’s revelation – and hence as the Chassidic teaching: when you search for the truth, the truth will find you!

Now here is what is most beautiful, for not only are we entering a personal redemptive state whereby individuals seeking the truth are finding God in a very personal and real way, this also has a collective unifying effect; for while physical things can only temporarily unite us in a joint quest say for money or power etc. ultimately as they are finite qualities and quantities eventually they serve as dividing points, for why do you have more than me? – However when we are speaking about the infinite God, whose relationship with every individual is infinite, each one of us then becomes a teacher, for we individually receive transformative wisdom.
