What if you could learn – truly know – everything! – as the Rebbe says (amazingly in his last major edited address) our sages teach “the Torah contains everything” – in fact great scholars could see all of science in the Torah. (It is known, a Rabbi hundreds of years ago used electricity) and it all boils down to a single principle, for such is the nature of infinity – a simple algorithm which controls through its replication every algorithm, as Kabbalah calls God, the cause of causes.

To begin with we must perceive that reality is an act of unconditional love.
Like parents birth their children and then give their lives not only for their physical but primarily spiritual welfare, so God.
So to help another requires a couple of components – the first is freedom – for without freedom the other doesn’t actually exists.
Secondly – kindness – a willingness to give everything.
Thirdly, ultimately you wish not to give your son a fish, but a fishing rod.
In other words, you wish for your child to freely choose to engage your wisdom using it to self-sustain.
As such, first God gave us freedom, as our sages state, the first two thousand years of existence are called creation, where man was given the notion of his “supposed” invincibility – we created “civilization” be it ancient Rome or others.
The second step is communication.
And hence God came to a a single chosen people and gave the truth.
This nation then had to spend 1000 + years integrating this truth, by which time after they spread world-wide, others adopted, albeit in co-opted formats (be it Christianity, Islam etc.)
But beneath all of this lay a far deeper plan, one which is revealed in Kabbalah.
For ultimately God is obviously unlimited.
He is just as much here as he is not; hence can be both simultaneously.
There is no being to God, that needs to be in one place to the exception of another; thats revelation is manifest at a certain intensity etc.
Much like a thinker can choose what to think about, how hard, how long etc. there are simply no limits.
So in reward for our – particularly the Jewish people’s tenacious – often perilous – adherence to God, the ultimate messianic era which as the Rebbe said, has begun, began.
An era in which free from all bounds, man when s/he seeks, shall not only discover truth, ,but walk with it!
