Can't Find What You Are Looking For?

You don't see with your eyes - you see with your brain!

Every second, over 400 billion bits of information flood into the brain, via all your senses, yet you are only consciously aware of about 2000 bits of information.

What happened to the other 399.99999 billion bits of information? Well, your unconscious mind remembers everything, but that's not much use to you unless you know how to recall it.

What is important is what determines which bits you "see", and which get skipped over.

That all-important, life-shaping decision is made moment to moment, day or night, awake or asleep, by a part of your brain called the reticular activating system (RAS).

The RAS is literally a little net made up of nerve pathways, at the base of your brain that connects the spinal cord, cerebellum and cerebrum. It acts as a filter for all the sensory input that you see, feel, hear, taste of smell. It then relays the signal on to the appropriate part of the brain for processing.

A mother who is fast asleep will wake at the slightest whimper of her baby, even when she is sleeping in a different room.

I once bought a Honda CRV, it was pillar box red, I was certain this was the only one of that color. Until I drove it home, then I saw them everywhere! How is that possible? Did everyone go out and buy one on the same day? No. I just became aware of them. They were there all the time. I just didn't 'see' them. Until I bought the car, my unconscious mind was programmed to not see a pillar box red Honda CRV, as soon as I bought one (has some emotional attachment to it), the programming changed and I could see them everywhere.

If you type the word 'poverty' into Google, what do you get? 167 billion references to poverty!
If you type the word 'wealth' into Google, you get 291 billion references to wealth.

Your RAS does the same thing for you, but it does it so quickly, it makes Google look like a chalk board.

Here is the most important thing about the RAS. When you program a specific idea or goal into it, no matter if you are asleep or awake, thinking about it or not, the RAS will do its job to filter through 400 billion bits of information every second to find precisely what you've told it to find.

When you create a clear focused picture of what you want, and emotionalise it, your RAS kicks in and doesn't stop until it finds what you are looking for.

Get CLEAR.
Get FOCUSED.
Get EMOTIONAL (in a good positive way).
