Does the universe have intelligence and consciousness; is it not far more complex than the human brain?

This interview is the essence of Jewish mysticism. It's the next step where we're not even arrived yet, though advanced theory is with us now for a few hundred years, that is Shem Tov and Tanya. If we'd have more of this, written, spoken and taught, world would be a different place.
The story of Sefer Etz buried with R. Vital is symbolic. We need Kabbalah alive, in Shem Tov and Tanya wisdom, the way you teach it.

Greek vs jewish concept is irrelevant! God is reality itself, that is alive and created all souls. The soul does not create, it merely reflects reality. Reality came first. It is the most primeval of elements: energy that souls are made of. Souls are important tools to get to know G-D, but one's soul is not G-D. G-D is one, souls are one. Soul's are the means to know G-D, but souls ought not to be identified with G-D. In the end the wise will realize, G-D is not a greek, or jewish concept. G_D is reality to be known. Reality does not need to know souls, for he knows everything. It is the rightous souls that ought to be G-D's son and seek after him.

i guess what im asking is... are your ways the only way to achive holyness? i wish to please God but i didnt even know what mitzva was until i found this website.

Did someone imply that in the interview? The Jewish People were chosen to be a holy people. But the Midrash says that any human being can attain holiness, if he strives towards it with all his heart.

so you can only be holy if you are jew? what if my parents are central american not jew, how is that my fault?

I really enjoyed and can relate to the idea of getting on my knees to my children's levels. Would I give my life to save one of my children, absolutely! I love them, I couldn't bare any to perish if I could do something about it.
Will the Messiah find faith when He comes?
We have time.
Very inspiring, thank you!

So nice to see R' Freeman in an interview and not just in print!

Dear Rabbi Freeman,
I never had known, that the Tanya is actually the Kabbala for the "Man on the street". written by R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi in 1796.
I listened several times to your lecture, and then I looked and listened to all the Tanya-Interviews. I really cannot say, that I was able to grasp everything, but I was really delighted to be able to hear and see this. That is the reason too, that from now on I will with an open heart listen to "Tanya".
every day and am thankful for this opportunity
I had several times tried to learn about the Kabbala, but as I am a "women of the street", it was too difficult for me also.
Today I received already the Tanya parts for three days (due to the holidays). I printed them out, so that on Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah I can enjoy it quietly.
I wish you happy holidays!
(I know, this is more a letter than a comment. But this way I could thank you!)
