Your brain filters out 99% of what’s happening around you. Chapter 6 of “The Journey” reveals how to reprogram this system to spot opportunities you’re missing.
The story
Your brain filters out 99% of what’s happening around you right now. The question is: what’s it letting through?
Chapter 6 of Attila B. Horvath’s “The Journey” breaks down something most people never think about – your Reticular Activation System. It’s basically your brain’s bouncer, deciding which opportunities you notice and which ones stay invisible.
Here’s the wild part: when you visualize something consistently, you’re literally rewiring this system. You’re not just daydreaming – you’re programming your subconscious to spot patterns and chances that match your goals.
Think about it. Ever notice how when you want a red car, suddenly you see red cars everywhere? They were always there. Your brain just wasn’t filtering for them.
Horvath digs into Carl Jung’s individuation process too – how developing your unique self apart from what everyone expects is crucial for a meaningful life. Most people skip this step and wonder why they feel lost.
The chapter shows how visualization isn’t wishful thinking. It’s brain training. When you consistently picture desired outcomes, you’re teaching your subconscious to identify relevant information that supports those goals.
The real insight? Your focus controls your reality filters. Change what you focus on, and you literally change what opportunities appear in your world.
Most people let their brain’s filtering system run on autopilot, missing countless chances for growth and success. Chapter 6 gives you the manual to take control of that system.
Your subconscious is already working. The question is whether you’re directing it or letting it direct you.
