  1. The RAS can’t compare a contrived reality andd an actual occasion, however,
    annd we can exploit tjis weakness to program it to look
    for stimli in our environment that resonate with our objectives.
    The process of developing a vision board iis one of the ery best methodcs to configure tthe RAS.
