In this episode, we explore a universal truth that transcends time and belief systems: the quest for identity. From the earliest stories of humanity, like Adam and Eve in the garden, we see how a single deception shifted our understanding of ourselves and the world. The serpent's lie wasn't about breaking a rule—it was about distorting our sense of who we are.

We'll revisit the Genesis narrative, where Adam and Eve hid from their source of love, creating a false image of themselves and of God. This ancient story echoes through time, speaking to the way we still grapple with questions of identity today.

Drawing from wisdom across various spiritual traditions, we reflect on how our distorted self-image has led to separation, fear, and confusion. But the journey doesn’t stop there. This episode explores how wholeness and true identity can be rediscovered, not by following rigid rules, but by embracing the deeper truth of our oneness with the divine and with each other.

We are reminded that identity is not something we have to achieve—it's something we are born into. This episode invites listeners of all backgrounds to reflect on their own journey of identity, wholeness, and belonging. No longer nameless or formless, we are each part of a greater whole, connected in love and purpose. Listen as we explore what it means to move from separation into unity, and from fear into freedom.
