Welcome back to Circa 1945: Breaking the Machine.

A podcast that asks one question. What would it take to build a genocide-proof society?

Today, instead of telling you a parable, I want to take you on a journey with me.

This journey will take the form of a guided meditation. So relax, close your eyes if you like, and listen to my voice.

You see, I had a spiritual experience in summer 2025 that led me to Judaism, and eventually to my chosen purpose in life. But somehow every time I try to describe it to anyone, words fail to capture the essence of it.

But if I translate it into symbols and weave those symbols into a story for you, I think we can experience it together.

Let’s begin.
