The natural "frumkiet" of the soul, the (sixth) "sense" of Chassidus the soul has and Chassidus as tea "essence".

When the soul is aroused by the initial understanding of an explanation in Chassidus, people are mistaken in assuming that it is only an intellectual arousal and has no divinity in it. They therefore don't want it at all and even revile it. However, this arousal is not in the category of a divine intellectual arousal, rather a natural instinctual arousal,set within the nature of the divine soul in Israel, aroused by the divine for no apparent reason. 

This is an expression of the lowest level of the soul, of the five: Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Chaya and Yechida. This level the the lowest (katnus) of the level of Nefesh. This level is known as the "natural frumkiet" of the soul. 

However, this that you feel the divine within that idea is the souls "sense" ("chush") of Chassidus, the essence of that idea. Just as one might make an essence of liquid (like tea) that you will use for many cups, so too this essence is the point where all of explanation will come from ("chomer hi'yuli, pashut")

Yakov said to Eisav כה אמר עבדך יעקב. - the word כ״ה hints to the acceptance of  מלכות שמים in the 25 letters of the pasuk שמע ישראל, the concept of עבדך. We say "listen ישראל,"  like it says in this pasuk, "thus says Yakov.״ He then says עם לבן גרתי I lived with Lavan, גרתי גימט׳ תרי״ג, this refers to the second paragraph of Shma, והיה the acceptance of the מצוות.  This is like our sages said about Shma, why do we preface the first paragraph of Shma to the second? To first accept upon yourself the rule of heaven and afterwards the rule of the מצוות. Ohr Hatorah Vayishlach, Mamer Im Lavan Garti

There both is and isn't a mazel for Israel and how the name Moshe is not reflexive. The two opinions in Gemara about whether or not -יש מזל לישראל Israel is under the influence of "mazal" are actually both in agreement with each other מר אמר חדא ומר אמר חדא ולא פליגי. The mazal that Israel does not have is to be under the influence of the astrological signs and heavenly מזלות. Where Israel does have mazal is the higher concept of mazal, beyond nature. About this it states, "everything is dependent on mazal, even the sefer Torah in the heichal." Hence, Avraham was told to leave his land, since, as Rashi explains, "here you won't have children." If Avraham was beyond the mazal already, this would not have mattered.(Even with his name change where he was told - "leave behind your astrology", it was that the mazal of "Avraham" would have children even if the name "Avram" wouldn't.) Under the mazal,

Ahavat Aztmo

Ahavat Aztmo is usually hidden. It is only revealed at certain times, for example, when a person is in danger.  It is then that a person strives with the utmost and for self preservation. -Mittler Rebbe With this we can, perhaps, get insite into the mitzah of loving ones fellowman like yourself.  First, it is the hidden level that you are loving, not the revealed.  Second, expressing this love means striving to the point of self sacrifice to preserve the well being of another who is in trouble.
