Just last night I learned Likutei Mohoran 49:1. It's totally related to this movie. In the notes in English (BRI): "After describing the Act of Creation in it's macrocosmic sense, Rebbe Nachman shows how this same process applies to the microcosm, to each and every person. Each person has his own vacated space, his heart, within which there is innate wisdom. Through his personal vacated space he is attached (albeit in a limited manner) to Ein Sof, an attachment that manifests as a flaming desire and yearning to be one with G-d, his Source. However G-d created man intending that he serve Him commensurate with his abilities and in line with the spiritual level he has attained. A person whose heart flames for G-d must therefore contract and contain this flaming desire within the midot (attributes), the olamot (worlds). This is accomplished by occupying his vacated space with good thoughts, this forming within it good attributes and a creation that is good. Such a person fulfills the purpose of creation by revealing G-d's Malkhut through his good deeds. If, however, he uses his free will to think evil thoughts, he clogs his wisdom and innate creative abilities with foolishness; the consequences of which is a creation that is evil."

Imagine G-d as the Cloud and we're all just downloading stuff.

Thanks for sharing that. This all reminds me of the saying "The Path you choose to follow is the way you will be led".
