Does Judaism Embrace Individuality? - Likkutei Sichos Shabbos Chazon #2

What’s said in this shiur

The opening of this shiur, in Rabbi YY Jacobson’s own words — taken from the captions, so names and Hebrew terms may be approximate.

Shabbos when every Jew is given a vision of the future Beis Hamikdash, the third Beis Hamikdash. And the Rebbe said, obviously we know that he wasn't talking about tzaddikim, he was talking about every individual. How can you say this? What does it mean every Jew is given this vision? I mean, we don't see the Beis Hamikdash on the Shabbos Chazon or on any other Shabbos. The Rebbe said, perhaps one explanation is based on the Gemara Megillah in the beginning of Gimmel that there's a concept called af al gav de'eileh chazei, maslei chazei. Sometimes I don't see something but my mazal sees it. My mazal doesn't mean that I get affected because somebody else saw it and told me about it. My mazal means it is a part of me, there's a dimension of me that experiences reality even if consciously it has not been processed. Like the Baal Shem Tov said that the bas kol that goes out from Har Chorev every day, Chazal say, is heard maybe not consciously but by your mazal it's heard and it affects you, it impacts you. You may not identify the source of the impact because that source is invisible to you at this present moment. Because many of us are not in touch with our mazal, there's no seamless flow between our mazal and our conscious self as we call it today or as Chassidus calls it the koach hagiluyim. In other words, the way I the way I I identify myself to myself. The mazel is not the way I identify myself to myself cuz I'm unaware of it,
