What is your RAS set for?

I’m not into whoo-whoo and hairy fairy stuff!!

I like facts!

And a huge part of creating changes in your life and to get from where you are to where you want to be, is pure science! And a lot of this science is related to brain science!

The RAS, Reticular Activating System, is a function in our brain you might call the “Search Engine” of the brain!

Let me share two stories to illustrate how it works.

My first car ever was a Daihatsu Charade. When I bought it, I had never heard of Daihatsu before, neither had I ever seen this model! I thought it would be cool to be the only one driving around in a Charade! From the very day I bought it, I began to see Daihatsu Charades everywhere!! Like someone had thrown hundreds of thousands of them down from the sky!

When my wife was pregnant with our daughter, I realized, that almost every single woman I saw was pregnant, too! I thought: Wow, this is a serious baby boom!! I had never seen so many pregnant women in my life before. When our daughter was born, all the pregnant women dissappeared, and suddenly every woman I saw was driving around with a baby carriage! Just like us!

Now how come?

If you see the RAS as the search engine of the brain, you should see your thoughts and inner pictures as the text you write in the Search Engine Field. The function of RAS is to filter all the impressions from the outside world, and just let in what you are focused on.
To make your inner world harmonize with the outher world!

Now, this is interesting. Take a look at your life! It is the search engine result from what you have put in the search field! Perhaps a bit scary!!??

One thing is cars and baby carriages. More important: If you have beliefs like: “I never succeed in anything”, “I can never afford this”, “I’ll never find the love of my life” etc., then your RAS will affirm this for you in your life!

The good news is, that if you don’t like what you see, you can change what you are searching for! By changing habits of thought and action!

A powerful way of doing this is reprogramming your conscious and unconscious mind using Powerful Affirmations. If you use Powerful Affirmations, and you add visualization and the feeling of how it would be if it was already true for you, you have started the process of making changes in your inner world, and as a result of this, your outher world will change, too!

Your RAS will start to show you new “search engine” results!!
