Wow! The talk of micros, nanos, and the picos, just blewed my mind off.
Someone once said that the computer intelligence is of G-d's imagination and the Amish hollored that the computer is the work of the evil one. Most of us have a glimpse of how the universe works to a certain extent with its laws, gravitational pull, matter, the dark energy, and the elements. The ultimate designer is G-d and we are not his pawns but his creation because He breathed His breath in us. So we have a soul that is connected to Him. The connection comes by reading the word and that word to me is like the atoms that does not go void but returns to the creator.
We become real only with the connection to that great power. Until then we live a life of fantasy, an unfruitful one, or in darkness. Similarly, our relationships with others become real only by maintaining the connection.
I wonder how people are connected to G-d if the person is afraid of making connection with the people in the synagogue. I seem to notice that people are afraid of each other and hold a reservation to know and to interact with them, therefore, creating a superficial relationship only to end up in demise.

Every time I come to expect something wonderful from chabad.org, along comes Rabbi Freeman and raises the bar.

Indeed, but think instead of the integers within the reals. In their integral nature, they have a secondary form, shinui tzurah -- they are something else. Yet they have never left the reals. Nor they the higher, etc., and nor the whole chain, the point of origin of all.
Even before the physical act, the idea of the the imaginary world of the animator is separate from his general mind in its very specification -- yet it has never left. Its all consciousness. It is this separate consciousness, brought back in communion to its origin - a paradox of absolute unity, but yet separate conscious existence, that is the greatest gift imaginable. As the story of Pinochio from concept, to wood to real boy -- so we with our Creator, yet so-to-speak, it has never stopped being just Geppeto.
Blessed is He who created paradox itself to give us life eternal.

Along with most other of Freeman's pseudo-philosophical articles, this one is riddled with assumptions that should never be made. The first unwritten rule he conjured, is that the imaginer's mind (the entity that is imagining us) is limited to the laws of human minds, and of our earth and our logic. After that, each topic is another baseless system designed for Freeman's goal, not any ultimate truth.
The truth is, that there is no proof for G-d, and any theology based on "proofs" is precarious.
A more mature mode of devotion is kept by the individual who embraces the gray, acknowledges their own limitations as a human, and can go to sleep at night knowing all that all they believe just may be false, that they may just be the figment of some greater power's imagination, but they nonetheless decide to wake up the next morning with "Modeh Ani" on their lips.

You need to read the redemption part to understand where Freeman is going rather than pick on his wise riddles.

shades of quantum physics, or like Carly Simon (and Rabbi Freeman) I've looked at clouds from both sides now, If I am a figment, I thank G-d that I am a Jewish figment looking forward to the coming reality.

Only in a universe of infinite mass could sufficient force be generated to pull mass at the speed of light. Comet tails, radiometers and event horizons, among other thiings, manifest mass in light, so there must somehow be infinite force present. Infinite mass in an infinite space (You know, that flat, straight geometric stuff to which the curved "ether" is compared, to prove its very existence) sounds, looks and even acts like an infinite universe.

"So you see that vivifying and is-ifying is really one thing." THus when G-d tells Moses that "No one can see Me and live, it means no one can see me and have ever existed.
To this, on the previous comment, the Light of seeing is a spiritual Light. As to physical light, relativity would tell us that light has zero mass, divided by a zero of the Lorentz-Fitzgerald contraction. This of course, tells us that light can have any mass -- so its kind of a trivial answer. So we go to quantum mechanics to find that the mass per photon is Planck's mass times the frequency divided by the speed of light squared. THat is to say, the phenomenon noted do not maifest rest mass pulled by infinite force to the speed of light, but rather introduction of finite mass in the form of finite light (kinetic/field --- not rest) energy. No infinite mass/physical-universe required.

So, universal frequency should be easily identified as v=mcc/h, eh?
