Your Reticular Activating System Creates Your Reality

Grab my guide here: The 5 Secrets To Creating Extraordinary Love http://www.claytonolsoncoaching.com The reticular activating system (RAS) plays an important role in shaping our perception of reality by influencing what information we pay attention to and how we interpret that information. The RAS works in conjunction with our beliefs, expectations, and past experiences to create our reality. The RAS acts as a filter, sorting through the vast amount of incoming sensory information and prioritizing certain stimuli over others. Our beliefs, expectations, and past experiences can shape the RAS' filtering process, directing it to pay attention to certain types of information while ignoring others. For example, if you believe that the world is a dangerous place, your RAS may filter incoming information to prioritize stimuli that align with that belief, such as potential threats or negative news. This could result in a heightened perception of danger in your environment, even if the objective reality is not as dire. Conversely, if you believe the world is a benevolent place, your RAS may filter information that aligns with that belief, highlighting opportunities, and positive experiences. Additionally, the RAS can also help us to confirm our beliefs by selectively interpreting ambiguous information in a way that supports them, known as confirmation bias. This also happens because the RAS can also bias perception and recognition of information through selective attention and recognition mechanism. In summary, the RAS is an important filter system that can influence what information we pay attention to and how we interpret it, based on our beliefs, expectations, and past experiences. As a result, our perceptions of reality can be shaped by the RAS' filtering process. It's important to be aware of this mechanism and try to question our perceptions and beliefs, and seek different perspectives to have a more objective understanding of the world.
