What does this even mean? That there are multiple parallel paradigms of existence happening simultaneously?

yet none of those previous opinions held that events that affected ישראל, even individuals, how much more so the entire nation, is not השגחה, so your discomfort with שיטת הבעש"ט is a red herring in this part of the discussion
I agree that God intervenes to ensure the destiny of the larger jewish people, and thus it's unlikely any of us would be able to succeed in overriding the holocaust even if we thought we had the means to try, because it was probably a significant event (although I don't think any of us or anyone alive today is qualified to say this for certain, emotion aside).
But he said everything is hashgacha pratis, and it's not a red herring or even creating too much of a tangent to take umbrage with that word.

I had a feeling it was a concept from fiction.

Either nothing is hashgacha pratis, everything is, or something in the middle. CMIIW but no source earlier than the bal shem tov holds such an extreme position as "everything". To each their own, but it's totally counter intuitive to me and doesn't sit well with me at all.

I never really known that there are opinions that disagree with the Ba'al Shemtov on this. Thank you for teaching me something. To me the Ba'al Shemtov's shita is the only intuitive notion and without it... well, lets just say its the only way I can perceive Judaism and reality.

It is much more comforting (intuitive) to say the Holocaust happened by Hashgacha Protis, than without it. (As precedent, I would also point out how Hashem explicitly planned Galus Mizraim in the text)

I don't think anyone would disagree that the Holocaust on a general level was hashgacha pratis.

Point taken. I guess it depends where you draw the line between the macro and the micro.

Not looking to start a fight but personally I would say we don't know either way. Like we know hashem hardened paroah's heart, because it was in the torah. But we don't know that hitler's free will was removed to enable the holocaust. I just don't think we have the standing to say so either way.

For me, first and foremost things need to make sense rationally. I guess I am attracted to this religion from a different perspective. I certainly get why it's comforting. I'm not allergic to other opinions, like I said above to each their own.

I don't think anyone said Hitler's free will was removed. It was hashgacha, and at the same time he did it through bechira. Fwiw, some learn that paroah also had bechira

The concept of the universe we are in being finite and there being other universes which are totally separate from this one is very different from the time travel concept.

Time travel is related to the existence of alternate timelines and being able to traverse the multiverse.

A concept which is nothing but fantasy made purely for the purpose of time travel in fiction and unrelated to the multiverse in science which is spacial.

Here's a better link to the scientific concept I was referring to. It's not a spacial concept.

What about rashba opinion that the world goes through 6000 year cycles? Do we do everything exactly the same way every 6k years?
