There are many adults in our world who enjoy watching fairy tales even though they know they are just fairy tales.

Question: Why is that? To escape reality?

Answer: It is more real than our life, actually.

Question: Fairy tales are more real than our life? But what is the reality in a fairy tale?

Answer: That justice is rewarded, loyalty is rewarded.

Question: Is that really so?

Answer: It is, but all this has to go through many twists and turns, through all sorts of corners and labyrinths of our egoism.

Question: So do fairy tales actually tell about what will truly happen?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Will good triumph over evil?

Answer: Definitely. Otherwise, nothing would have begun.

Question: Are fairy tales precisely the ones that end well?

Answer: They all must have a good ending because it is predetermined from the very beginning.

Question: And fairy tales with a bad ending, what about them?

Answer: There is no such thing. That means they are unfinished.

Question: Are they something the author did not finish, did not have time?

Answer: Yes, something remains unsaid.

Comment: So a fairy tale is written…

My Response: From the end. But the good ending must contain the whole structure: the setup, the development, the climax, in short, everything, and necessarily a good ending. It is all conceived from the start.

My conclusion is this: a fairy tale should begin with an introduction. Then there must be some demonstrative process—educational, accusatory, and so on. The characters should fall apart and be dissatisfied with what’s happening: this one wanted to kill and could not, that one wanted to escape and did not manage, these two wanted to marry and it did not work, and so on.

That is, within the whole setup, they cannot figure out who is writing this fairy tale. The Creator! When they gradually despair of their own solutions, each in their own way, and do not know what to do, then they begin to understand that they are under the control of the upper governance, and only then do things start working, coming together. It turns out that this upper governance, this upper force, brings them to the right solution.

Comment: To a good ending. And good triumphs.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Were you actually talking about our time now?

Answer: It is precisely in our time that this upper force begins to reveal itself in various states, when humanity has no other answer to its questions but to say: this is the upper force.

Comment: This not-so-kind fairy tale which humanity sees, starts to shift…

My Response: And then it becomes kind! Because it points you to the highest solution, to the one who started it, who conceived it, started to develop and shape it, and is now about to complete it.

Question: Are we being led to love, to happiness? Straight there?

Answer: Yes!
