| 0:00.0 | Hi, everyone, and welcome to episode 24 of our podcast. We're going to have a pretty interesting topic today, the spiritual understanding of natural disasters and why sudden painful things occur. I think it's a topic, obviously, that is applicable to what's going on. |
| 0:22.6 | Some of you might have seen my post sharing that my family as well lost our home in the fires |
| 0:31.0 | here in Los Angeles. And I'm also happy to kind of go through the spiritual process that I went |
| 0:35.9 | through as well and to share that with you |
| 0:38.7 | in hopes that that would be helpful. But I do think also it's important to understand what the |
| 0:44.1 | Kabbalists, what the sages share for thousands of years about why do global catastrophes, |

| 2:10.6 | the endless light, received the fulfillment, but there was one thing that this vessel could not |
| 2:16.1 | experience, which was its own ability to be a creator. |
| 2:19.7 | This was a passive relationship that it was just receiving. |
| 2:23.7 | But in the same way that when we are created from our parents, |
