ATTENTION IS DECISIVE
To study and comprehend, the human brain is sliced into hemispheric studies and different nervous systems and we all know it to be untrue! Though the brain can be dissected for medical students, it can not be bifurcated for living life.
The coming of the technology of the latest scans (fMRI etc.) gave a deeper information with a bit of increase in the accuracy in terms of the functioning of the brain and its’ connectedness to living.
One thing that moves our attention immeditately is what we focus on. The Reticular Activating System helps us move our awareness to a domain we were otherwise ignorant of. Let me give you an example here- has it ever happened for you that you booked a car/ bike for yourself and you thought that you “exclusively” had that partiular colour/ model and as you stpped out of that showroom, you saw more vehicles exactly like the one you booked for? So what happened? Did a lot of people around you instantly bought the same colour/ model? Obviously not! It is our RAS that moved out awareness to that thing which we focused on. I am sure you are bringing to get the drift of the enthusiasts of Positive Thinking (by the way, I am not an advocate for that though!).
The flow of chi (Universal Energy) happens where the focus is. So if you want good things to happen to you, focus on the good things you already have. It’s the same like, money begets money. Something which is now advertised largely by new age modern spiritual groups is actually psychology in action. Just focus on what you want and that activates the RAS which in turn brings to mind information that was previously filtered and hence, a new reality sets in!
