Yah Ouch!
Kinda like, "There is nothing outside of, inside of, here". Reality is simply
the most dense part of your mind and does not exist beyond this point except
in the memory of a past. Yes, the present is the past and thoughts that
transpire are what will create our reality in the now.
So with a foundation in quantum physics we learn that reality is not something
we react to, but something we actively create. If so, then the universal "Law
of Attraction" applies equally to all those who create and always gives you
what you ask for. We complain that "it is not raining" and the universe gives
us ... no rain. We complain that we are "never have money" and the universe
gives ... no money.
The same applies to our complaints about respect or recognition. If we
complain that nobody recognizes us, then the universe simply hears that we
are not recognized and delivers unto us what we asked for.
The Matrix is way due for an upgrade :-)
In the interim the patch is change your thoughts in such a way that the
universe will deliver what you want.
Spooky, but it really does work.
