Check this out and ponder on it. Dictionary description of reality.
1. the qualities of being real, resemblance to an original. 2. all that is real, the real world as distinct from imagination or fantasy, lost his grip on reality.
3. something that exists or that is real, the realities of a situation.................. Notice realities of a situation, it does not say reality of set in stone fact/truth.
Like your mapping of the territory we see the illusion as the reality. What we call being a reality of our life at the present time is merely our vision of what we call reality at the present time. If being in poor health, being poor, being mentally lacking, or you name it was a reality then it could not be replaced in our life experience. Yet we know from experience those things are not actual reality but illusions of our mapping/describing our life at any given time.
A friend of mine got screwed over by a program glitch and she lost any records of her time on the job, therefore she lost those wages. Here is the KICKER, she prior to the incidence had changed her password to "this job sucks". Thank goodness she realized what she claimed as a reality of her job. The tongue is a double edged sword, it cuts both ways. Watch what you use to sharpen it.
As far as it always works when you know what you are doing, nope it works whether you know what you are doing or not. God always says yes, the universe is always totally subjective. It can only say it is manifested as you called it forth.

Open2It,
Welcome to the Forum! I like the way you think! And you're right! The Universe
always works whether you know how it works or not. I think Jonathan Livingston Seagull definitely confirmed that for himself....when Chiang had helped him "with his control", by the time they returned to the Flock (but that's another sea shore story for another time).
...and Yes, if one's password affirms, "This job sucks", the Universe says yes to that too, to her chagrin (because she
meant it affirmatively!).
If you think about it, a "password" is what a computer uses to "Say Yes" to its "universe", right? No different than a firmly expressed affirmation being what the Universe uses to "Say Yes" to us.
I just changed my signature to reflect the Truth you've stated, herein.
Thanks for your excellent answer....
