Our understanding of “reality” is like the joke about the 3 blind men and the elephant. One feels the leg, and says “the elephant is a kind of tree”. One feels the trunk, and says “the elephant is a kind of snake”. One stands near the back of the elephant at the wrong time, and says “no, an elephant is a kind of rain shower”.
We only see a part – if we even see that part accurately.
Executive: What we’ve come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts. One: People aren’t wearing enough hats. Two: Matter is energy. In the universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive. Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person’s soul. However, this “soul” does not exist ab initio as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self-observation. However, this is rarely achieved owing to man’s unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.
Other Executive: What was that about hats again?
Executive: Oh, Uh… people aren’t wearing enough.

I’ve got a smartphone and I don’t concern myself with all that stuff either, but I still enjoy using the apps that serve me in some way.
