The difference between "slug bug" and the version they were playing was that they were looking for any vehicles that were yellow instead of for VW's. As the game progressed, I found myself looking for yellow vehicles as well. To my surprise, there seemed to be a lot of them! I had never seen so many before.
I started thinking about this and realized that there were not any more yellow vehicles around than there had been, but I was just more aware of them. I had shifted my awareness and now yellow vehicles were on my radar when they hadn't been before. I started remembering different articles on the subject of mind filters and awareness shifts that I had read over the previous month. I realized that this incident didn't mean I had changed any energy levels or reached a higher level of awareness, I had just adjusted my 800 bit filter and was now aware of the yellow vehicles that I wasn't paying any attention to a short while ago.
800 bit filter? What in heavens name is that?
Like many things that are simple Mike Trout Womens Jersey , the concept itself is simple, but the ramifications are enormous. The long and the short of it is this. Scientists have discovered that the brain, through the input of the 5 senses, takes in approx. 200 million bits of information per second, while the brain only acknowledges approx. 800 bits per second!
Wait a minute! The brain only acknowledges 800 out of 200 million bits of information taken in? So what about all the rest of that information that comes in?
Well Shohei Ohtani Womens Jersey , obviously there is much, much, much more information available at all times than we are consciously aware of. So what is the determining factor that controls what 800 bits of information we consciously accept out of 200 million bits of available information?
Again the answer is deceptively simple. The answer is, CHOICE! You create the 800 bit filter by what you choose to focus on. Just like in the example above, when I chose to focus on seeing yellow vehicles Justin Upton Womens Jersey , my filter shifted just enough to allow me to be aware of the yellow vehicles that we passed instead of labeling that information as unimportant and ignoring it. You can use this ability to adjust your 800 bit filter in many ways.
Again, it comes down to how you choose to use it. You can choose to focus on every annoyance and depressing thing that you come across, or you can use it to tune these things out and focus on all the exciting and inspirational things that go on around you. It is all there, it is simply your focus that determines which your filter allows through to your consciousness.
You can also use it to see and take advantage of opportunities for personal andor financial growth. Or, you can choose to not acknowledge these opportunities in order to maintain your choice of being a victim and harvesting the pity and sense of others feeling sorry for you. It all comes down to CHOICE!
