Actually rather than just linking to the Maamar, I linked to a printing of it that has a summary in the intro.

I highly recommend learning this, as it will give you the proper framework of Chabad-Lubavitch in this generation (or of what Yiddishkeit is all about...)
(Yeah I get it now. Didn't realize that this was the whole main chabbad {propaganda} ideology about how special y'all are...iv read up on these maamars in the past)

I was interested a little in an alternative perspective to the ramchal on tachlis habriya, ie. Purpose of creation...

For that you'll have to do more intense studying, the purpose of your creation should not be learned via forum imho

...perhaps it's the purpose of the DDF forum...  8)  to spread this knowledge and to elevate these items into Gdliness.

This isn't a chupa, where the עדים are called up and it is announced "to the exclusion of all others", on the contrary, we're being very inclusive:

1. All yidden are special (though this generation has an extra special mission).
2. The explanation based on באתי לגני doesn't contradict the רמח"ל, it rather complements it. (It is not far fetched to believe that ALL נשיאי חב"ד were fluent in ALL of the Ramchal's books - see for example the story brought in the left column here).
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

.....haaa..... funny,
actual purpose of creation is for us to care for all Jews and to elevate the high-sourced sparks that are hidden in materialistic and mundane places.

So, yes, caring for Jews who need quality parve Belgian chocolate, plus to elevate the cocoa beans and make a bracha -- that's all part of elevating the mundane and materialistic.   ;)

1. All yidden are special (though this generation has an extra special mission).
1b. Chabadskers are extra special because they were zoche to be mekushar to the nosi hador who puts them on special unique missions
1c chabadskers in this generation (actually last one but who's counting) are extra extra special because this was the last generation of the 7 special generations with the most special of all rebbes...
2. The explanation based on באתי לגני doesn't contradict the רמח"ל, it rather complements it. (It is not far fetched to believe that ALL נשיאי חב"ד were fluent in ALL of the Ramchal's books - see for example the story brought in the left column here).

Nah. That's not a term I use. I would call you a Lubavitcher (at least בכח). ;)

One does not have to be a "chabadsker" to be mekushar to the Nosi ha'dor

I'm shopping Nachas. You show so much Bkiyus even in Chabasker Toires.

But if that's the message that you got from what you read/studied, then you definitely missed the point.

General question, Can Calabria trees be planted in CA/IL etc or is that not good?
Not good.
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.
