It's interesting to meditate upon the behind-the-scenes action of life. What actions are performed by God, the angels, Christ just to keep us alive and functioning? Christ is said to be interceding on our behalf. The angels are servants of the called out ones. Certain things in life are the result of unseen work of dramatic proportions, yet we don't see them. Consider your salvation. For you, it's a revelation, an input of God's knowledge into you by His Spirit, and of course, the result of Christ's magnificent work on the cross. You believe, but you don't see all that went before to bring you to believe.
In the first scenes of the Matrix, Trinity contacts Neo by way of his computer, which leads him ultimately to accept the path offered by Morpheus - enlightenment as to the nature of the Matrix. But he never sees that Trinity risked her life to do that for him. We see her on a laptop making a simple communication to Neo's computer, when the police come in, and she escapes. Then, the computer-software-agents of the Matrix, Mr. Smith and his cohorts, arrive, and her life-and-death run ensues. She does all that just to get a simple message to Neo. Yet, all he sees are a few short sentences on a computer screen which cause him to want to meet and learn more.
We see so many "simple," seemingly easy things, both in the natural world and in the spiritual world, but they cannot be simple. And they are not easy. Like a computer - we use them, but the technology behind them represents years of manhours and centuries of accumulated knowledge.
