Published 2025-09-22 08-44
Summary
Your brain processes 1 billion bits per second but you only consciously use 10. Learn how to tap into that hidden 99.999% using your brain’s built-in filter system.
The story
Your brain processes 1 billion bits of information per second through your senses, but your conscious mind only handles about 10 bits. That’s like having a Ferrari engine powering a bicycle.
Here’s the problem: You’re missing 99.999% of what’s happening around you. Opportunities pass by. Solutions hide in plain sight. You stay stuck because you’re only using a tiny fraction of your brain’s capacity.
Most people never learn to bridge this gap between their subconscious processing power and conscious awareness.
The solution? Your Reticular Activating System – your brain’s built-in filter. When you visualize specific goals, your RAS starts highlighting relevant information in your environment. It’s why you suddenly notice red cars everywhere after deciding to buy one.
This isn’t wishful thinking. It’s selective perception training.
Your subconscious is already scanning reality 24/7, looking for patterns. But without clear direction, it just processes random noise. Give it specific images of what you want, and it becomes a heat-seeking missile for opportunities.
Carl Jung called this individuation – becoming who you really are instead of what society expects. Your subconscious wants to create your unique path, not copy someone else’s.
Napoleon Hill was right: “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” But he left out the how.
Stop limiting yourself to conscious-level thinking. Your subconscious potential is waiting for instructions.
In Chapter 6 of “The Journey – I wish I knew this before I was 21,” I break down exactly how to program your RAS and unlock this hidden processing power.
