Manifestation. Yes I do it daily for car parking spots and it seems to work. But I’m reluctant to do it for material goods unless I really NEED something, rather than just desire it. I also do it for healing.
Priming. Yes, I/we experience that every day online. Repetitious ads and constantly repeated ‘info.’
We are all well primed these days to keep buying more and more stuff. And to only think in a certain media or politically curated way. Very interesting to learn this happens because of our clever little reticular activating system. Hmm…. Roseann
Hi Joel, I wonder if this is the same way Confirmation Bias works in the brain? e.g., does our brain repeatedly confirm a belief (even if it’s misguided) because it is under a similar process of ‘focus of attention’, priming and, therefore, ‘manifestation’?
This is after all what "The Secret" is based upon. Going into the jungle scared of snakes then that is what your mind will be focused on.
As such you will be missing out on all the butterflies, birds, flowers and all the beauty it holds.
The same as for our relations, the intentional focus on what we do is deeply ingrained into our neural connections.
This is exactly why there is such a deeply ingrained hate for Trump without any valid reason. The media has gradually diverted the attention of the people to only see what they want them to focus on and subsequently blinded them to a wider outlook.
I believe that those who have Aphantasia are far less succeptable to motivated perception hence Confirmation Bias.
It could be that those with Aphantasia might have fewer mirror neurons or those neurons are more controllable by the person in question.
Having Aphantasia myself I have a very strong will power and have always been seen as rebellious when all I did was standing up for my believes seeing right through the bs of others.
It would also be interesting to know how many with Aphantasia stood up against the vaccinations against covid compared to those with Hyper Phantasia.

Could the reticular mechanism be responsible for waking one up from a nights sleep a minute or so before an alarm is set the night before?
huh interesting, I'd say it plays a role in that, but not solely responsible no.
