You might want money and say it’s for one purpose, but if you’re given a bit more, you’ll spend it on something completely different. Likewise with time, you might complain about not having enough time to read a book. Then you’re given plenty of time, and you think, “Well, I read the book, so now I can spend time on social media.” But you don’t understand that you weren’t given time for social media. If you were given free time, you should, in respect of that gift, devote it entirely to something productive, not to idleness. And here’s one of the main keys: people must understand that a heavenly life is real, it’s possible. But people simply can’t live in that rhythm, in that frequency, because they lose their heads. They can’t, in good conditions, voluntarily continue to work actively, fruitfully, and productively. The system gives exactly those illusions and conditions from which it knows you’ll stay active.
I’ll say this: of course, it’s better when, for example, a creative person like a musician feels inspired and drawn to creating music during positive, uplifting events, like when everything is going well, and they’re in love, rather than only when they’re suffering. But if they only retreat and start writing music when they’re suffering, then life will continue to bring them suffering. Because when they encounter love, they forget they’re a musician. Do you understand?
The second key, which I have repeated many times before, is this topic of illusion. What is an illusion? The film I recommend for you today, at this very moment, is Inception, which beautifully illustrates what a dream within a dream is. These are different worlds, like multiverses. When a person dives into various worlds, when you interact with people, it’s already a connection to a kind of dream. You must understand that this is a dream and not lose yourself in it. Don’t forget to disconnect from it. Also, in “Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief ”, there’s a great scene where he and his friends end up in Las Vegas, and they all fall under a spell. But Percy wakes up, starts shaking his friends to wake them, and notice how they react. I’ve often been in that situation when I tell people, “Wake up!” and they respond with, “Let’s party. Come on, don’t be such a bore.” I tell them, “Snap out of it! We came here for something else. We have another goal”, but everyone is already off course. And people often encounter this. You need to remember when you are the most clear-headed, the most conscious. Most often, for people, this happens when their material-social world is at its lowest. That’s when a person seems to wake
