What is the RAS?

The Reticular Activating System

This is a bundle of nerves in your brain stem. Its purpose is to look for information that validates your beliefs – and it uses this to filter the information coming into your brain from the world around. The parameters you establish for your Reticular Activating System are essentially your core beliefs and the goals you set. Whatever these are, this part of the brain will look for evidence of it – and it will stop you from seeing anything that doesn’t support these core beliefs and goals.

For example, if you believe you’re going to get a great new job, you’ll start tuning into the information and opportunities that could help you do that. If you believe that you’ll never get a great new job, the Reticular Activating System will consider information relating to great new jobs irrelevant and will instead show you evidence to the contrary. To put this in very simplistic terms, if you feed into the Reticular Activating System that you are going to buy a small blue car you will start seeing small blue cars everywhere. Even if you’ve never noticed them before.

You control your RAS - you tell it what to focus on so you can start to attract and find new opportunities to make that manifestation true.
