Summary
Your brain’s spam filter hides most of reality based on old beliefs and doom-scrolling. Chapter 6 shows how to reprogram it so you notice what actually matters to *you*.
The story
Problem:
Your brain is running a brutal spam filter on reality… and you didn’t configure it.
Your conscious mind sees a tiny fraction of what hits your senses. The rest gets screened by your subconscious filter—trained by old beliefs, fears, and whatever you’ve been doom‑scrolling this week.
Set that inner filter to:
– “I’m unlucky”
– “No good opportunities exist”
and your Reticular Activation System [RAS] will faithfully hide anything that doesn’t match. Not because you’re “broken,” but because your brain thinks it’s being *efficient*.
Result?
Smart, driven young pros walking through life like brilliant, well-dressed NPCs. Tons of potential, tragic targeting system.
Solution:
Chapter 6 of Attila B. Horvath’s *The Journey – I wish I knew this before I was 21* is basically a user manual for that filter.
Attila:
– Explains how your RAS decides what you notice [without fluff or “manifest and chill” nonsense]
– Shows how visualization actually works as *neurological programming*, not magic
– Ties it all back to individuality and Jung’s individuation: the goal isn’t to copy someone else’s dream, it’s to train your brain around *your* authentic path
– Warns how selective perception plus cultural noise = you outsourcing your life direction
If you’re a young professional who wants self‑reliance instead of autopilot, Chapter 6 is a very clean question:
If your filter shapes your reality…
Who’s training your filter—you, or the algorithm?
