To change your destiny, think differently

This world, in truth, is a grand drama on a cosmic stage. Each soul plays many parts across lifetimes.

This world, in truth, is a grand drama on a cosmic stage. Each soul plays many parts across lifetimes. Just as an actor puts on different costumes for different scenes, the soul takes on new bodies and roles. Shakespeare's timeless line captures it well: "All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players." The drama may appear real, but the soul behind the role is always ultimately untouched and unchanged.

The soul is eternal, and in its purest state exists in a vast, luminous dimension beyond time and sound. Souls in that state are radiant beings of light, suspended in complete peace and contentment. These souls are untouched by thought, desire, or the senses. There is nothing to gain, nothing to lose. They simply are—overflowing with silence, love, and bliss. In this state of wholeness, there is no striving, no story—just the serene awareness of being.

Then comes a shift. One by one, each soul enters a physical body, taking its seat behind the eyes to look out at the material world. Compared to the soul's star-like form of light, the body is dense and huge. Yet the soul observes it all with wonder: the movement of air, the play of light, the variety of form. Initially, this observation is pure and silent. There are no labels or judgments—just childlike appreciation.

But over time, the soul becomes immersed in the world of the senses, of roles, relationships, and stories. It begins to identify with the body and forget its true self. The temporary becomes the focus, and the eternal is forgotten. This forgetfulness is the source of all sorrow, fear, and confusion. What was once understood to be a costume becomes mistaken for the self. What was once a play becomes mistaken for real life.
