One thing David Bronson pointed out to me in the LeM of Rav Nahman. That one word religious authorities love is "No." They see one's "Ratzon" [Desire, Will.] as an evil thing. It is only Rav Nahman that see the Ratzon [Will] as the great and highest of all things. Just that one needs to raise his desires towards God. That is what you see in the LeM chap.13 about how the tzadik helps to raise the desires of people towards God.
[This reminds me of Schopenhauer who also saw the root of everything as being the Will. Logos to him is a secondary derivative.]
