0:00.0	Hello, friends. Welcome to this reflection session on a seven-episode series once more,
0:12.2	exploring reincarnation and the gap between lives. First, I want to tell you a little bit
0:18.2	about my inspiration to host this series in the first place.
0:23.3	One of the things that I've been looking at is what happens when we commit ourselves to
0:31.9	exploring the questions, the inner questions on the spiritual journey that we care the most about,
0:38.9	that are the most alive for us. You could call this the practice of spiritual inquiry.
0:46.3	I think the first part is identifying, what do we really want to know more about and why? And then secondly, treating it like a golden thread that we

2:15.8	Colorado that I'd lived for 40 years, moving to British Columbia.
2:20.3	What I noticed in these changes, passing the 60-year-old mark and not being that young, I don't know,
2:32.3	I had to open up to the transition of not having a frame that I could identify with any longer. You could say a physical form. I was talking to a friend recently and I said, you know, it used to be,
2:53.6	even though my inner nature is very porous and cloud-like, that that cloud had a picture frame
3:01.6	around it and I knew what the picture frame was. Now there's just a cloud that seems to be evaporating, raining, looking like a strange
