Episode notes
Trauma Fractures Self and Return
- Trauma from exile causes alienation within ourselves, separating mind, heart, and body into disconnected parts.
- True return to God begins by reintegrating these parts, restoring wholeness before reconnecting to God's commands.
Return To God's Voice First
- The initial stage of returning to God focuses not on His words but on His voice—an emotional, pre-conceptual reconnection.
- This mirrors returning to a more primal, intimate relationship with God beyond intellectual understanding.
God Witnesses Trauma Compassionately
- In moments of deepest trauma, cries from people reach God and deeply move Him.
- God witnesses and remembers the trauma, forming a compassionate response rather than punishment.
