Lost? Use your R.A.D.A.R

Mar 27, 2016

Get out your R.A.S.

Huh?

Reticular Activation System

Your Reticular Activation System, or R.A.S. is the part of the brain that forges a link between the conscious and unconscious mind. It is of huge importance because it regulates the achievement of your Acting goals.

Begin to get excited now...

Your RAS acts as your brain's information filtration system. A person is exposed to millions of “bits” of information every second — in other words information captured by your 5 senses.

We know that a human being can see things, hear things, feel things, taste things and smell things all at the same time, right? Your RAS filters these pieces of information and lets through only the bits of information that are relevant to you.

Everyone's RAS is unique to them and, therefore, the pieces of information filtered are unique to YOUR specific goals, wants and needs. Your RAS is a highly specialized tool - it is your best friend - a benevolent R.A.D.A.R. - It lets through very specific information for consideration and focus, and is guided by YOU on a daily basis.

So...

It is very important to be mindful of what your RAS focuses on because the RAS can not distinguish the negative from the positive so if an actor focuses on “never getting good acting work” or “only getting small parts on TV” - then YOUR RAS will only let information in which supports those ideas and beliefs....which will eventually result in that actor not getting the job he or she desires...

Fortunately the opposite is the case as well. Hooray!!!

So...

If an actor focuses on positive goals your RAS helps you get them.

I like to think of an actors conscious mind as “The Goal setter” and your unconscious mind as the “Goal getter.” Remember The Captain and The Crew Video - Watch again now if you need a review.

Whatever a person focuses on internally will be created in the outside world.
