Your Brain Is Filtering Out Miracles – Here’s How to Change That

Your life isn’t manifesting based on what you want.
It’s manifesting based on what your brain thinks is relevant.

Let that land.

Because if you’re constantly noticing things going wrong… people being flaky… money being hard to make…
It’s not because the universe hates you.
It’s because your brain is literally programmed to see that stuff.

And it’s time we talk about the reason why:
The Reticular Activating System (RAS).

So what is the RAS?

The Reticular Activating System is this little bundle of nerves at the base of your brainstem.
Its whole job?
To act as your personal filter.

You’re hit with over 11 million bits of data per second.
And your conscious brain can only handle like… 40.
So the RAS decides:

“Okay, she thinks THIS is important. Let’s show her more of it.”

That’s why when you’re heartbroken, every song is about them.
And when you’re craving a croissant, you suddenly see five bakeries you swear weren’t there yesterday.

Your Focus = Your Filter.

Here’s where it gets juicy.

If you’ve been repeating thoughts like:

“No one chooses me.”
“There are no good guys left.”
“It’s so hard to make money.”

…Your RAS goes:

“Ah. That’s our focus. Let’s show her proof.”

Now flip the script.
Start training your brain to look for:

“I am constantly supported.”
“Aligned people find me easily.”
“Opportunities are always showing up for me.”

And guess what?
Your RAS will start surfacing evidence to match.

Not because the outside world changed overnight.
But because you trained your filter.

Your Manifestation Isn’t “Blocked.”

It’s Just Filtered Out.

This is the science behind the Law of Attraction.
You don’t manifest what you want.
You manifest what your subconscious thinks is true.
And your subconscious only believes what it sees on repeat.

Which means if you want to manifest miracles…
You’ve gotta start seeing miracles as normal.

How to Reprogram Your RAS in 3 Minutes a Day:

1. Start your day with intention.
   → “Today I’ll notice every tiny moment of support and alignment.”
   
2. Use one powerful affirmation.
   → Try: “I always see signs that I’m on the right path.”
   
3. Collect proof before bed.
   → Even the smallest things count. A free coffee. A kind word. A perfect parking spot.
   

The more you notice the magic, the more your brain starts assuming that’s just how life works for you.

And that’s when things get freaky—in the best way.
