I’ve recently been programming my subconscious directly through the RAS (Reticular Activating System) by priming it with questions. The process of asking questions opens up loops in the RAS and sets it off an automatic search of the subconscious mind to retrieve the answer (of said question to close the loop) and present it back as an experience.
I’ve been doing this to shape my self concept so it may in turn be expressed through the personality in a deliberately chosen way. I have been mainly focusing on priming ‘qualities’, e.g. love, peace, harmony, gratitude etc. to have these qualities show up more in my day to day living and the results have been remarkable. I would have to say that this exercise is the single most transformative process that I have done and has gotten me out of a right life pickle.
The ‘RAS Priming’ process is simple, all that is needed is to sit down and freewrite/brainstorm a load of questions regarding your chosen quality or theme and the subconscious will automatically provide the answers as experience. Optimally this is done each day before we do anything else such as checking socials, emails etc., though it is not totally necessary to gain results.
The RAS works by filtering (generalising, distorting and deleting) information so that we as humans don’t get overwhelmed trying to sort out what scientists say is about 11 million bits per second of information coming into our system from our environment. We consciously deal with 40 bits and most typically retain about 7 bits at anyone time, so as you can see the RAS does a valuable job. I would personally say that its an infinite amount of information coming into our system as we are entangled with the entire Universe and also because we dwell in the realm of the Absolute which is infinite in its nature.
It is its filtering capability of the RAS that can be tailored to our chosen preferences and build experience as we would like them to be. All we need do is to simply prime it.
The other side to this is that the RAS is being “Primed” all of the time anyway without us being consciously aware of it by the news, media, advertising, politics, family, relationships peers, our past etc., all which all goes into filtering the information we receive, shaping our personalities and in turn our experiences, whether we like it or not.
I’ve started a You Tube Channel as an example to show how I prime the RAS with this technique. And in doing some experimenting I even found benefit by just playing the video back without watching it and letting the information permeate the environment.
