A very interesting perspective for one who just began studying the torah. The five levels of the soul are very interesting because they reflect how people grow in faith. Thank you for your study. I would like to begin studying more of your series with the talmud. I am a student so I watch and read when I can.

very glad you used the term 'technological metaphor'..
interesting possible note- that because of the denial of inner workings by mans collective world soul - or elimination of the hunter gatherer tradition by a 'controlling party', that these stages have occured on the external instead of the internal, in effect distancing man each time from the reality of the 5 stages on the inner plane.... what a partnership to grasp!!!
I feel something is coming back to us that has been lost through the control of man via this growing technology on the outer plane- if one can mirror this on the inner, and see the symbolic representations from the outer as a guide, then we may see positive outcomes for those trapped in the material expression of 'I'... and ourselves
thankyou agian Rabbi.

I agree technology is progressing at an alarming rate. Behind it all are things being done no one wants to face. How is this happening and who are the victoms. Technology will always have its place but at what cost. I have noticed over the year how children are harder to adopt and children can be bought through government agencies by business. food for thought

Is there any chance that the videos will be offered in IPad accessible format? Many of us now are using Ipads without Flash capability.
Thanks

I do agree that we are progressing at a phenominal speed. I can't keep up with the amount of ways we can communicate. However good it is, and I think its very good, many of us have problems on a personal level. So many people are stuck in their own world and becoming disconnected from each other in the physical world. Because of this lag of ability to connect with our physical neighbor and family as compared to email, or texting etc, we are becoming more lonely and detached. I only hope we can bridge the gap and connect the technology with the real physical human being of the physical world. ie. parents working and children are neglected, so children use computer etc to talk to people who really don't know them and may even harm them, all without the parents ever knowing what is going on; schools contact parents via computer never picking up the phone to have personal contact. So Rabbi is right about the stage we are in. I look forward to this series.

Technology is extremely dangerous to man; see Heidegger the "question concerning technology"; mankind is now being determined by random or unleashes technological process.
Technological process are party responsible for the current financial crises. very basically increasing sophistication and abstraction is increasing volatility and unlinking the interests between principal and agent.
Globalization itself is a technology process in a true sense. Like in the financial world much celebrated in the 90s but now being questioned - human control is being lost.
On a more superficial level, technology can create massive dangers - note BSE, which could have killed millions. Nano-technology, GM food and animals. We do not have the understanding of such processes to prevent and watch ur for such possibilities. In many ways science - the priest of technology - have an unwarranted and dangerous authority.

So in order to bring G-d to us we must first reach for Him. The child will always reach to his or hers parents for attention. Getting the attention of G-d is achievement, for the merit of His blessings. Keep in touch and look forward to even more lectures from you.
