Question: A British movie called Before We Disappear dynamically changes scenes and storylines based on audience feedback. It uses technology to analyze audience reactions and adapts the story depending on the viewers emotional engagement.

If we could program the storyline of our own lives the way we want instead of being dictated by circumstances, could there be an interesting development of events?

Answer: Only a very egoistic person would think about controlling the world in this way. After all, I live in a world where billions of other people also exist. If I want to change myself, my existence, my life path, I inevitably would influence the destinies of everyone else. I cannot act solely based on what I want without affecting others.

Thinking about it is, of course, possible, but it is absolutely unrealistic and will never work! What could work is this: If I wish well for everyone, always think and act in ways that benefit everyone and I know what “good” truly means without making mistakes, then I can positively influence the world.

Question: What if it is not just one person but everyone who wants to do good so that everyone benefits?

Answer: For that to happen, we need to reveal the bigger picture—the fact that we are all interconnected, part of one network, and there is no escaping from each other!

If even in my thoughts I wish something negative for others, even just a little, I am already distorting the entire system of our connections. The system then turns back to me, the one who caused this distortion, and forces me to correct it. It bends me back into place. That is why we are all so unhappy.

We all try to bend each other to our will, but the system works differently, it bends us because each of us creates faulty connections.

Question: What percentage of people would need to desire to develop a caring scenario for this system to change?

Answer: It depends, are we talking about a specific country or the world as a whole? But, in principle, it is possible. Even in a particular region or group of people if they truly desire it. However, this requires changing the individual. And a person can only be changed through education. Without a serious educational system and a thoughtful approach to people, it will not happen.

How can you even approach people with this? First, they need the desire for it. Today, such desires are slowly forming.

Only then can you approach people and share what you have. And what do I have? I have the key to happiness, not just any happiness, but eternal, perfect happiness! At this point, people become bewildered: “What eternal, perfect happiness? I do not even want to open my eyes in the morning.”

Question: Can a person desire this on their own?

Answer: To do so they would need to go through very serious trials.

Comment: This leads to a very pessimistic scenario.

My Response: I am not pessimistic because the program of nature exists and it will lead us to this outcome. I only wish to soften its course. That is all! I have no pessimism whatsoever. I act, I believe, to the fullest extent possible.

Comment: It is a life’s work. When people dedicate themselves to their life’s work, they draw inexhaustible motivation from the process itself.

My Response: You might think that a Kabbalist has endless energy, that their inner volcano is constantly bubbling and erupting with steam through its summit.

Question: So what is the constant driving force for a Kabbalist?

Answer: Only one thing—direct connection with the Creator who governs everything and with whom you must constantly feel mutual action, a partnership.
