"Look," he tried. The poor angel was almost hysterical. "Our job was software. How were we supposed to know that the hardware was to be made from mud? We pleaded with The Engineer to find a more fitting encasement for such an ultimate being than this gray meat patty..."

This is a terrific story; I believe I understand enough of it to make such a statement.
But there's one thing I keep going back to. Your "Take a look in the Genesis account, you'll see where The Boss, May His Name Be Sanctified, says, 'Let us make Man!' That 'us' is a reference to none other than us angels..."
But, in Genesis, it doesn't say that (that the us = the angels).
I'm sure this is something you've heard over and over, but you yourself wrote in another publication that one should stay away from that "I have heard that already."
I personally hope that the 'us' does = the angels; it's something I want - even need to believe. But I should not ever say that something is true just because of want and need.
How can you be so sure that G-d really DID consult with His angels?

Actually, that's the comment of Rashi, the classic Jewish commentator, on that verse. Rashi, in turn, got it from the Babylonian Talmud (Sanhedrin 38b).

Wow!! That was a truly amazing experience reading Seder Histalshelut in such a pragmatic perspective, traversing both directions...
A big thank you to the author Tzvi Freeman for helping close the existential gap, may Hashem bless you with continued strength to speed up the process as fast as possible leaving no trace that there was a gap to begin with!

Tzvi Freeman, I love you!!! A gezundt to dine shaine Keppalah (or however that is said) What brilliant comedic creativity!!!!

This truly explains ro me the Tanya and Chassidus I have been learning.

WOW! That really took my breath away. Thanks a bunch for explaining such lofty concepts in such easily understandable terms.

It was and it is hillarious; I didn't stop laughing until the end. A beautiful work of lively words for the layman.

This is an extreme expression of unbelievable creativity, in my opinion.
I intend to reread this, extremely slowly, over a couple of hours, and take in the textual wealth being imparted.
The inspiration and level of intelligence required to create this, leaves me speechless. I have not read any text, even remotely ressembling this one, in an extremely long time.
Thank you.

Tzvi, this is just like you.
Reminds me of your sun and moon dealie.
