Threads of Eternity

Kat Cruz, a high school junior and robotics club nerd, thought yoga was just stretching and mindfulness-until one podcast changed everything: The Quantum Sutras, a podcast offering guided meditations based on the 5th-century Yoga Sutras that promises metaphysical liberation.

At first, it feels quirky and fun. But soon, Kat begins experiencing vivid visions: cosmic landscapes, lifetimes long past, and two mysterious figures-Tanmay, her twin flame across time, and Patañjali, the eternal teacher guiding her toward self-realization. The teachings reveal a magical understanding of existence that bridges ancient wisdom with the beauty of everyday life-and she catches herself starting to believe it.

As Kat's fascination grows, her best friend Tala worries about her seeming break with reality. Tala-class president and community organizer-believes the world needs action, not inner peace. As their worldviews clash and the rift between them widens, Kat wonders: What if consciousness really does transcend space and time? And if it does, what does it mean to live this one life well?

This fictionalized commentary on the Yoga Sutras explores love, self-discovery, and timeless truths that go far beyond reason.
