Feeding Your RAS is not enough

"Make sure you’re feeding your RAS the right stuff"

Whether what Brian is say about the reticular activating system is right or wrong, I somehow feel that the mind is not so simplistically modelled. There is an element of truth to the idea that you see and pay attention to the things you expect to see.

Here too however what you need to ask yourself is whether the good I want to see for me will be good for the whole. If you consider this in a context reduced to you or those close to you only, you may be misled into thinking that if you look for the good then your looking for the good will "trickle-down" to the whole.
