Chabad philosophy Puns

In whichever hypotheses shows to be true in the end extraterrestrial or inter-dimensional beings being true. The conclusion in the end is that the mind is much more important and powerful than we thought.

If Interdimensional Being are true , than somehow our consciousness is in that extra dimension.

If extraterrestrial exist and we are hybrids of a species able to communicate with the mind, our mind is thereof a intergalactic tool. able to telepathically communicate with other beings.

in both cases mystical meditative religions that cultivate the power of the mind and the power to control it  seem to have the right approach to the human being and to live in general exp.: stoicism, Zen Buddhism, Chabad philosophy, Sufism, Hinduism , Gnosticism ect.

In the end whichever hypothese is true. We know as a fact that this entities have used religion to guide us in the right direction that means that the stories in the books may not be true but The message the essence is true. the distilled version of this religions is true.and  we have to take these stories as a metaphor not in true value.

Non-dual elements in philosophies interest me, and I recently came across the school of thought Habad Hasidism, which is the point of interest in this post.

I'm only trying to understand the philosophy of the school, so I'm aware of the cautionary mention in the FAQ that it isn't advisable to get into Mysticism before fully reading the primary scriptures. Just clarifying this upfront.

Started off with reading Roman Foxbrunner's book on Habad, but it didn't address the philosophy directly, so I found another book by Rachel Elior - 'The Paradoxical Ascent' , which kind of addressed the basic philosophy in a straightforward manner.

With my limited understanding so far, Yesh(being) and Ayin(nothingness) are the unity of two opposites that constitute the Infinite Essence. It is from our relative perspective that Yesh appears to be separate from the Infinite, but Yesh is just an abstract manifestation of the Divine Ayin itself that appears distinct due to our own animalistic soul, which needs to be annihilated.

From the perspective of the Divine, the distinction of Yesh-Ayin also is necessary only to explain creation, but ultimately that one True, Divine, Infinite Essence is nothing but Ein-Sof, the eternal, that which existed always, and could manifest being out of nothingness.

So with this as the basic understanding, is it accurate to express that our true nature is actually not just the manifestation of the Divine in the nether world(not the mind-body, not the animal soul), but we are that Divine essence by defualt? This is where I try to understand the similarities with respect to strict non-duality that emphasizes the non-difference of self and truth, but here there is a clear emphasis on manifestation, and so the question only pertains to whether our true Essence is non-different.

Because our animal self is annihilated as per the opposites teaching to realize our own true Essence, and the stages in this journey is described in Tanya, that realization is nothing but to understand that there can't exist anything that isn't the Infinite Essence, implying we are that Infinite, albeit the creation powers.

Tanya - true nature

Hi,

I am not Jewish but sometimes like to read Jewish Philosophy such as that pertaining to Chabad.

I came across this Jewish education resource for Educators that is currently free so thought it might be good to share it.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

I want to know more about learning of my ancestors. Very often when I search for something related to Judaism I came across Chabad. I heard about some controversies surrounding them and I would like to know if this is good source and If I can trust them.

Do your worst!

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Buenosdillas

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

When I got home, they were still there.

Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.
