The Reticular Activating System
Your Most Faithful Servant

Your reticular activating system (RAS) and the Law of Attraction are highly tuned into to your thoughts and feelings.

You are their Master and they are your faithful servants.

They register your thoughts and feelings as being what is most important to you in any given moment.

And, they deliver - they grant you your every wish.

It behooves you to pay attention...

They do not discriminate between the good, the bad and the ugly – by bad and ugly, I mean those negative thoughts that distract you from the present moment into an unconscious ego trip.

What is the best way to ensure that your most desirable thoughts and feelings are your point of attraction for your RAS and the Law of Attraction?

Become more consciously aware in the present moment
and change your thought patterns.

But I am getting ahead of myself...

What is the reticular activating system?

Your RAS is a magnificent mechanism in your brain that performs many important functions to keep you healthy.

One of which is to protect your central nervous system from information overload from inner and outer stimuli.

The inner stimuli consist of your thoughts and feelings. The outer stimuli are all of the noise and movement of everything that exists in the atmosphere around you.

Your reticular activating system allows in only what you consider to be the most important in any given moment – or in other words what you give most of your attention to. It filters out irrelevant information.

Your name, for one example...

Has this ever happened to you?

Several years ago, while traveling alone on a vacation hundreds of miles from home, I was walking along a very crowded and noisy beach. Over the noise of children shouting and playing, and people laughing, I was suddenly alerted to a voice calling out my name.

I turned around and was very surprised to see a friend from home walking toward me. Her voice, calling my name, came to me as clearly as if we were talking on the phone.

My reticular activating system filtered out irrelevant stimuli like the noise on the beach, and alerted me to the sound of my name which is very relevant to me.

Do you remember the last car you bought?

Did you notice when you picked it up and drove it home that suddenly you started noticing other cars of the same color, make, and model?

I'm sure you have experienced this so-called phenomenon. Well that is your reticular activating system filtering out irrelevant information and allowing in only what is important to you.

How does the RAS complement the Law of Attraction?

This is how it works for me.

I love mountains and water. I always have and I suspect I always will. I actually feel a leap of excitement within me when I see both. So do you think it is any coincidence that I am now living in Vancouver, surrounded by water and mountains?

That would be the Law of Attraction at work drawing like energies to each other - in this case it drew me to the West Coast of Canada.

I also love sailing and because my excitement level matched my thoughts and aligned with my Inner Being, I manifested a few delightful years of sailing on Georgian Bay in Ontario with my partner and sometimes our kids.

My reticular activating system constantly shows me sailboats, water and mountains.

What is your passion? Are you experiencing it now?

If you want to manifest it into your life, set your intentions to do that. Each day set time aside to direct all of your thoughts to it, and feel the excitement of having it in your life. The more you do that, the faster it will come to you.

In the meantime, your reticular activating system will serve you by bringing it into your conscious awareness, making it visible to you.

It has always been in the physical world around you, you just didn't notice it until you allowed it to surface in your conscious mind as relevant information.

Now every time you see the physical reality of what you want, your vibrational energy will increase and hasten your manifesting results.

A word of caution - watch your thoughts and monitor your feelings throughout your day and if you notice any that are counterproductive to your desires, then change your thinking immediately.

Instead think about what you want. The more you practice with this the easier it gets.

When was the last time you gave yourself the luxury of dreaming about what you want in life?

First time around with Abraham...

Twelve years ago, meditation was the furthest thing from my mind. Therefore, my RAS filtered out all reference to it when I was studying the Law of Attraction and the teachings of Abraham.

My two most wanted things were; to calm my inner turmoil; and to have more money flowing into and out of my bank account.

Thoughts about my bank account that constantly ran just over empty stirred up negative energy which also created more inner emotional turmoil.

My reticular activating system brought into my awareness lots of other people suffering from the same lack that I experienced.

In hindsight, I realize that my passionate desire to learn everything there was to know about the Law of Attraction overpowered my other desires because it was foremost on my mind; and because I felt excited and happy while I was listening to Abraham's audio tapes and thrilled while reading the material.

It is said that the universe gives you everything you need to help you manifest what you truly desire.

After two years of studying the teachings of Abraham,I felt disappointed with my manifesting efforts.

An intuitive hunch at that time guided me to learn how to meditate - it was exactly what I needed to improve my skills in manifesting.

The proof of the pudding...

Since I have been meditating I have overcome my negative attitude toward inner emotional movement (inner turmoil).

I manifest most of what I want, eventually. Sometimes it shows up years after I have stated what I want, and of course I am delighted.

Quicker results...

Now what I ask for shows up in months, days and hours. I love to play with "my new power" and am amazed when it works for me in minutes.

Sometimes I feel a surge of energy within that feels like resistance that I judge to be fear. I mean this stuff is exciting and other-dimensional.

Actually it is the thrill of a new adventure and when I allow it to be what it is I enjoy the ride.

The Law of Attraction delivers to us what we want. It is already out there waiting to be materialized. All we have to do is learn how to allow it into our experience.

Back to earth...

In a practical sense, your reticular activating system shows you the already manifested things - in droves sometimes. That helps you to maintain your focus on what you want, rather than on what you do not want.

The Law of Attraction attracts what you want into your energetic realm by the power of your thoughts and feelings. It parks it at your doorstep - all you have to is open the door and let it in.

In addition to my two faithful servants, I have the ability to maintain my connection to my Inner Being - another of the many benefits of meditation.

Meditation, particularly the Ishayas Ascension, is my tool of choice for maintaining my conscious awareness in the present moment, and changing my thought patterns from downward spiraling and stressful to uplifting, peaceful and joyful thoughts.

There you have my insights on how your reticular activating system supports your efforts in manifesting what you want in life.

I hope that by glimpsing my experiences you feel inspired enough to jump on board, read the book, and begin pre-paving your path to manifesting success.

Thanks for being here now. Your highest possible point of attraction is Source within you.
