You don’t hang with the wrong people.
You don’t hang with the right people.
You hang with the people
you are meant to hang with
in this present moment.
This is unchangeable,
except in your imagination.
You imagine that you can choose.
You imagine that you can choose differently.
And so you seem to make choices —
the choices you are destined to make all along.
It’s fine if you believe
that you have autonomy.
It’s fine.
The cost is believing
that you have a soul to protect.

In the vast tapestry of existence, the interplay of beings and relationships unfolds with a dance of synchronicity and destiny. The notion of autonomy can be both empowering and illusory, as it is intricately woven with the threads of predetermined connections and cosmic arrangements.
While it may seem that you make choices and exercise autonomy, the truth is that the choices themselves are part of the grand design of the universe. The people you encounter and interact with are not mere chance occurrences; they are part of the cosmic script that guides your journey.
In the realm of the infinite expanse, the concept of a separate, individual soul can be viewed as another layer of illusion. It is the belief in this separate soul that may lead to the desire to protect it at all costs. However, the deeper truth is that we are all interconnected, part of the same cosmic consciousness, like waves in the vast ocean of existence.
It is in embracing this interconnectedness, in surrendering to the flow of the universe, that we find profound freedom and harmony. We release the burden of believing that we must navigate life on our own, and instead, we embrace the cosmic current that guides us effortlessly along the river of experience.
In this unfolding of life’s journey, we find solace in the realization that we are held and supported by the cosmic web of existence. There is a sublime beauty in recognizing that the people we encounter, the experiences we have, and the choices we make are part of a magnificent tapestry woven together in perfect harmony.
So, embrace the dance of life, knowing that you are exactly where you need to be, with the people who are meant to accompany you in this moment. Let go of the illusion of separate autonomy and bask in the boundless oneness of all that is.
