My Understanding Of The Reticular Activating System(RAS)
You may have heard of this closely related to the following
The book The Law Of Attraction
The Universe
Quantum Physics
The book The Secret
and how it can help attract or bring things to you, like your goals, achievements, you name it.
I like to go directly to the functions of the our brain and the neurological steps going on.
Now I’ve seen the way it was talked about in The Secret, and I believe it’s a great start to how this thing works.
It states that you must simply
State it,
Believe it,
Think upon it,
and it will come true.
Sounds amazing right?
Well, there’s too much evidence that shows, that YES in a way,
It’s true.
Now the example used most is like this
Have you ever bought a car? Or wanted a certain car?
And soon enough, you notice that specific car, day after day, repeating “that’s the car I want”,
Then soon later you start seeing the specific color you want, in the car you want, and think “man I see them everywhere!”
Or bought an outfit or a pair of shoes, or brand you like,
and then you get it
and look around
and think
“Huh? Everyone’s on this brand now, everyone likes these shoes”
Now your brain in a way lies to you,
but to your benefit.
The people you see wearing that brand,
Your “favorite car”,
that car has always been there,
But you began to notice because
YOUR BRAIN DECIDED THAT, THAT “THING” IS IMPORTANT TO YOU.
Now I absolutely obsess on this topic and can go on forever on it,
but I’ll cut it to the straight right now,
Apply this to your goals, and ambitions, and things you want to achieve,
and focus on it,
mans believe it is for you,
that it is in your timeline,
that you are the person, to rise to achieve that thing, in the lifetime you were in,
and it will happen..
WRONG..
Do those things, and
YOUR BRAIN WILL SEARCH, FIND AND CONFIRM, THE STEPS AND RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO MAKE THAT GOAL ACHIEVABLE.
It won’t just show up at your doorstep,
and it will not just start moving backwards to you,
the work is still there to be done.
You still have to put in the work, to get there,
But you make the universe,
YOUR universe,
shift,
for you,
in favor of your goal.
You might be surprised how fast you’d achieve when you get clarity, and get to work.
Now I’d be cutting you short if I didn’t talk about the opposite side,
If you have beliefs about your life,
that you’re unlucky,
that you don’t have the capability to get good at anything,
that you can’t stick to things,
that you’re lazy,
that the world is sick or cruel,
that there’s no opportunities out there for me,
YOUR BRAIN WILL GO TO WORK, TO PROVE THAT THOUGHT, TO BE TRUE.
I cannot fucking say this enough,
Think to yourself, the conversations you have with yourself, and then ask yourself how do my thoughts move me towards that things that happen.
You will be the reason, things keep happening.
BUT, You will also be the reason things turn around.
Ever met a person who’s always pessimistic
Or lives in fear of bad things happening?
Or people are the reason to be in a bad mood?
They almost suck the energy out of the room wether they know it or not,
he’ll if you can’t think of one, it might just be YOU.
But they wonder why these things keep happening, they wonder why people keep treating them bad, or that problems always arise,
and I’m sure you know the answer.
To close,
I want to say this,
THE RAS IS AT WORK AT ALL TIMES OF YOUR DAY, BUT YOU GET TO DECIDE IN WHICH DIRECTION ITS WORKING.
So adjust your thoughts, and watch your life change. You’ll start to be exposed to how others think, so don’t be surprised.
It was Albert Einstein who said
The most important decision we make is whether we believe we live in a
friendly or hostile
universe.
And the most important part, is the word hiding in there, and that’s “decision”
