Holiness

Very interesting discussion w/ Rabbi Friedman... My question with all due respect is how does the Tao Te Ching agrees or adds to the subject matter, and how a book like "Stillness Speaks" by Eckhart Tolle and his concept of inward connection and the disolution of the ego and trying to create awarness of self and nature makes it easier to grasp the Kabbalistic concept of transparency?
