CS, I don’t want to insult you as you seem a very earnest person, but from all your posts about the greatness of your Rebbe and the mystical sense that could be felt, coupled with the fact that you were born after he passed away, I have come to the conclusion that you were educated in a way where lofty concepts that were above your intellectual age at the time were “explained” to you, you accepted them without understanding them but you thought you understood them, and that now you are repeating them here and elsewhere without realizing what they mean and what you are saying.

I think that it is not without reason that the rest of the world does not believe in the system of education where chassidus is taught to people too young to understand things on an abstract level. It is the same reason that they prohibited kabboloh being learnt by people under 40. The young mind can’t comprehend that these are concepts that are not gashmius. The result, in your case, is people feeling the spirituality of the lubavitcher rebbe, “knowing” he was a tzadik gamur of Tanya, and saying that there is nothing wrong with a human of flesh and blood being atzmus melubash.

You may not see the connection that I have made, but I do.
