The RAS-It Seeks Out What Is On Your Mind

This little bundle of nerves in back of your brain is responsible for seeking out what is on your mind and filtering out what you do not yet know or have no concern over.

Not too many people know about this physical component of how things come into our  awareness.. Animals also have this which helps them find what they are hunting for. 

•  when we see things that match what we thought or saw just the day before
•  have an answer come to us easily, or see that perfect gift on a commercial we been searching for 
•  notice a friend in a crowd we have been thinking of.

  A part of these experiences are what we may call synchronicity, coincidence, serendipity. We have discovered this physical component of the RAS we can now assume that it is certainly a part within a universal plan to assist us in effortlessly discovering the very thing we are seeking.  That is why it is best to let go of the outcome. We attract what we focus on. If we pursue looking for these hidden treasures and find they are "not there" you may focus on that they are not there and this is what will reflect back to us until we let go  and allow it to come naturally. It is always a delightful surprise which seems comes out of the blue. Our  body, mind, spirit, emotions and our 5 senses are woven  into the fabric of our eternal life and work together to bring us our experiences. 

At any one time there exists opposites of good and bad, positive and negative, dark and light. When we are focused our interests, and positive aspects Reticular Activation System (RAS)  seeks out  more of that. The opposite is true as well.  We can focus on abuse, disease, or poverty or we can focus on our abundance, wellness, opportunities and the good aspects of our relationships. Each of us has a choice and opportunity to have a good life.

 Back in 1991 I began to notice what was dominantly on my mind began showing up in my reality. One family I was friends with had an orange Volkswagen with a grey fender. I began noticing them everywhere! I became aware of these objects or people or opportunities showing up in my experience and began writing about them, photographing and chronicling the occurrences. I have tubs full of these testimonies in which I was going to reveal to the world.  I called this phenomenon "The Orange Volkswagen Theory".

The RAS,  that bundle of nerves in the back of our brain moves before us vibrationally in every movement of our life seeking what we are aligned with.

Seeing Number 1's Everywhere?

Seeing 1's everywhere? Here is why.

 Here are 3 reasons why you are seeing 1's.


1. In numerology this means the universe has opened a gateway for you. 

2.  1, 11, 111, and 1111 in Angel Numbers all mean: "Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts are manifesting instantly into form. Focus only upon your desires and not upon your fears." 

3. When number 1's show up in a sequence, it may jog your curiosity and interest. The part of your brain called the Reticular Activating System (RAS) actually senses this number you find intriguing and signals you to turn and see it when it appears near you. This seeking system within your brain also exists in animals for hunting. 

FYI: whatever you give most of your focus to your RAS will hunt down for you. This could be for good and not so good. Choose your focus wisely.

You are the creator of your experience so you can attach your own meaning to these 1's, for example, intend them to be a sign that the angels are with you. You will be delighted how these 1's showing up can help you feel loved, watched over, connected, and it can encourage right thinking. 

I have had such meaningful experiences with the 1's showing up just at the right time to assure me and guide me. I love sharing this with you and hope you have fun with this.

Our Brain And Law Of Attraction

Our Brain and The Law of Attraction

Law of Attraction is mysterious unseen force. Our brain is involved in the process by determining what revealed to us by what we focus on most of the time. There is a tiny group of cells the size of your little finger tip located in your brain called the Reticular Activation System or RAS. Your RAS is a station for incoming sensory impulses. It is an automatic mechanism inside your brain that brings relevant information to your attention according to your beliefs and perceptions.

There are millions of information bits at any one time in our present experience. However, our brains can only take in 125 bit's of information at one time. Most of what is going on around us is not even seen or noticed. I have examples of this further along the article. The RAS not only selects certain stimuli, it removes 99+% from our very perception.

  The human brain sees and hears only what we are conditioned to see or hear. Our brains delete whatever information is not in line with our set of beliefs, biases and prejudices. We focus on our perceptions and set the RAS to make decisions.

The mind sees only what it is trained to see. If the mind is not open to it, it will pass by unnoticed. Deborah Moen

Sometimes it may be your own doing through your perceptions and belief systems, sometimes it is brilliant marketing or propaganda that has snuck in there.

It is interesting to note that the RAS is responsible for revealing what you ask for and it also reveals to you what you fear or hate or do not want. It reveals to you what you focus on. 

For example: When you are thinking I do not want to eat candy, the RAS hears only that you are focusing on "candy" and your attention to candy will be sorted as an important conscious bit of information to notice "candy" everywhere. Candy will be in your face 24/7.

Another way to focus on your desire to eat less candy would be to say or think, I "allow" a healthy lifestyle or I desire nutritious foods. Your RAS will sort that information as important and all opportunities in your experience that represent healthy eating will be easily noticed.

This phenomena works with everything. If you fear spiders and focus on that, chances are your RAS will seek them out and you are going to spot them everywhere. When you have your mind on a new car you will begin to see the exact make and model in places you never saw them before. You will see that particular car everywhere. If you fight against cancer, war, gangs, the government you will notice and experience more of the "fight" than the solution.  If you think the world is out to get you then you will notice all the incidents that prove this true. If you are worried about parking, your RAS will affirm there is no parking by blocking available empty spots from your awareness. When we are confident a parking space will show up our RAS will seek it out. You do not have to believe in this for it to work. This mechanism is working whether you are aware of it or believe in it or not.

The FEDEX White Arrow

A FEDEX truck. We see them everywhere.
Have you noticed the white arrow in the logo?

Look closely between the green letters E and X
Most people have not noticed this white arrow.

The mind sees only what it is trained to see. When the mind is not open to it, "it" will pass by unnoticed. Deborah Moen


 Abraham Lincoln said, "If you look for the bad in people you will surely find it".

BUT...If you look for the good in people you will surely find it. The choice is yours. This is where these tiny little cells in our brain called the Reticular Activation System can with awareness and retraining, help us achieve success and attain our goals and help us recognize all the goodies that come along on, what I used to call, the conveyor belt of life. 


When we are aware of this function of the brain and set out to understand it and retrain our beliefs and responses to life, we begin to notice that the right book, just the right phrase we catch on TV, a phone call, or a billboard will magically show up.

The Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria

 The Niña, The Pinta and The Santa Maria came across the ocean in the breaking waves. It is said the natives were blind to the ships because they had no-thing in their experience to reference them to. This is a feature of the RAS.

The RAS and Law of Attraction

The film The  Secret began a surge of awareness of universal law called the Law of Attraction (LOA). But successful people throughout history have been aware of a phenomenon that like attracts like. There are those people who interpreted The Secret

Those who have studied Law of Attraction know that it is working whether you know it or not. The law of gravity is working whether you are aware it or not.  One of the main keys to an abundant life is living in a state of allowing, releasing resistance, finding relief and better feeling thoughts, becoming appreciative with our life now and experiencing happiness and joy.  The Non-Physical part of us is always in this blissful state. Getting the mind used to this way of thinking takes practice. But once you begin to notice the subtle and not so subtle differences that occur as a result of this practice, you will know come to know a happiness and peace  aligned with your spirit.  This alignment is downloaded into our RAS brain function and begins to assist you in seeking those things you desire automatically.  

 I will leave you with this story 
Author unknown:

A wise old man sat by the side of the road. A traveler approached and inquired about the village that lay ahead.

"What kind of people live there?"

The old man asked, "What kind of people lived in the town you just left?"

The traveler responded, "Oh, they were awful people, thieves and villains...liars and cheats."

The old man said "Well, that's exactly the kind of people in the village up ahead."

Presently another traveler approached and asked, "What sort of people live in the town over that hill?"

The old man asked him what kind of folks he had left behind.

The traveler replied "Oh they were wonderful, warm people - the kindest folks ever." And the old man said.....

"Ah, well that's just the kind of people you'll find up ahead."
