The central nervous system (CNS) plays a key role in how you create reality. The CNS is like our operating system that stores and processes information.
The quality of the information stored in your memory banks (your hard drive), determines how you create your experience of reality.
How we experience life is determined by how we think, feel, and act in response to external stimuli.
Frontier researchers in neuroscience, quantum physics, psychobiology and consciousness studies suggest that how we create reality is not something we passively encounter — it’s something we actively produce.
Our thoughts, emotions, and behaviours influence how we interpret, react and attract experiences. And the science is beginning to show that this isn’t just a spiritual metaphor — it’s energetically and biologically true.
Every action we take is rooted in a thought or an emotion. But where do these come from?
Thoughts and emotions are expressions of information — the dynamic, moment-to-moment awareness that emerges from our nervous system. They are the result of electrical signals travelling across neural networks in the brain and body.
These networks are shaped by memory — stored information we have collected from past experiences. Each time you have an experience, your CNS encodes it, processes the input and stores it as memory.
The quality of the information that is accessible to the brain gives you a perspective that determines how you react and what you attract.
In effect, the information stored as memory informs us how to react. How we create reality is pre-determined in most instances.
But it can be changed. Memories stored in the CNS can be upgraded.
Some quantum physicists propose that information itself is the fundamental building block of reality. “In-formation,” write Ervin Lazlo, “links all things in the universe. [1]
According to Dr. Amit Goswami:

“Everything (including matter) exists in and is manipulated from consciousness… the reality of matter is secondary to that of consciousness, which is the ground of all being.” [2]

In this view, your thoughts — which are informational and energetic — don’t just reflect how you create reality; they shape it.
This is supported by ideas in quantum theory where observation affects the outcome (as in the famous double-slit experiment). The observer is not separate from what is observed. The act of attention influences the field.
Quantum physicists have discovered that energy exists in bundles of matter, force and light. These bundles have no definite characteristics but, weirdly, exist in several states at the same time.
They are not separate but interlinked, regardless of how far apart they are.
Physicists call this phenomenon string theory or quantum entanglement.
This discovery was first identified in the famous double-slit experiment which prompted Albert Einstein to comment that particles perform “spooky action at a distance.”
Even Einstein didn’t understand how we create reality.
The double-slit experiment was first performed by Thomas Young in 1801 to explore the nature of light. He aimed to settle the debate over whether light behaves as particles or waves.
In the experiment, light was shone through two narrow, parallel slits onto a screen. Instead of producing two distinct spots (as you'd expect if light were made of particles), a pattern of light and dark bands appeared, known as an interference pattern — clear evidence of wave-like behaviour.
When the experiment was replicated in the 20th century, this time with electrons and individual photons — particles of matter and light — physicists observed something astonishing:
The double-slit experiment challenges our understanding of reality by suggesting the act of observation affects the behaviour and outcome of energy.
The act of thought and attention influences the field.
In 1964, physicist John Stewart Bell devised a way to test whether “hidden variables” which had not been discovered could explain quantum entanglement.
Bell formulated an inequality — now called Bell’s Inequality — which mathematically defined the limits of what any local hidden variable theory could predict.
If measurements of entangled particles violated Bell’s Inequality, then it would mean:
Since the 1970s, and especially with Alain Aspect’s experiments in 1981–82, physicists have tested Bell’s Inequality in laboratories using entangled photons.
The results? Bell’s Inequality was violated.
Again and again.
This means that entangled particles are mysteriously linked — a change in one immediately correlates with a change in the other, even if they’re light-years apart.

“Until particles are observed or measured, quanta These states are not "real" but “virtual" — they are the states the quanta can assume when they are observed or measured. It is as if the observer, or the measuring instrument, fishes the quanta out of a sea of possibilities.” [3]

The human body isn’t just biochemical — it’s electromagnetic. We’re electric beings:
Classical physics by the likes of Michael Faraday and James Clerk Maxwell shows that electricity and magnetism are interlinked.
A moving electrical charge (like those in the heart or brain) produces a magnetic field. This is how the human system can emit a real, detectable electromagnetic field.
So when we think and feel, we generate energy — a literal electromagnetic broadcast.
All energy has frequency — the rate at which it vibrates. Higher frequency states are associated with:
Lower frequency states include:
These emotional frequencies can be felt — we intuitively know when someone “radiates positivity” or carries “bad vibes.” And this isn’t just metaphor.
The HeartMath Institute shows that positive emotions produce coherent, rhythmic heart patterns — which influence brainwaves and hormonal balance.
Dr. David Hawkins (though controversial) proposed a Map of Consciousness, assigning frequencies to emotions — with love vibrating at 500 and shame at 20.
Albert Einstein noted that higher-energy bundles (quanta) have higher frequencies, suggesting that more information = more energetic potential.
What’s the implication of this?
Your emotional state affects your frequency, which affects your magnetism — the ability to attract people, situations, and outcomes that resonate with your energetic state.
If the human body is an electromagnetic system, then we can think of it as a kind of transmitter.
Your thoughts and emotions set the frequency you broadcast.
Like a radio signal, you “tune in” to certain emotional and mental states — and the world “responds” in kind.
Attention, perception, and emotion influence action, behaviour, and external feedback loops.
Your environment mirrors back to you what you need to know. As Salmon Rushdie wrote: “Our lives teach us who we are.”
Life teaches us how to live.
This is not wishful thinking or spiritual bumbo-jumbo. Medical applications have been built on the premise that electromagnetic waves can influence our biology:
Photobiomodulation: Light-based EM energy speeds up cellular repair.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy: Used to treat depression and bone healing.
Brainwave entrainment: External frequencies can shift your mental state into focus or relaxation.
So if external electromagnetic waves can influence our biology, it stands to reason that the internal electromagnetic fields we generate (via thought and feeling) do the same to the field.
The double-slit experiment shows that it does.
Reality may appear objective and fixed, but modern neuroscience suggests that our experience of reality is highly subjective — sculpted and filtered by consciousness.
Far from being a passive processor of the external world, the brain is an active creator, continuously interpreting, filtering, and reassembling information to create what we perceive as “real.”
And make decisions in response to the environment.
Understanding how this process works opens the door to personal transformation. If your brain constructs your experience of reality, then by understanding — and consciously rewiring — your mental patterns, you can reshape your experience of life itself.
The RAS is the brain’s filter — it decides what sensory information gets through. When you focus intently on something (a goal, desire, or idea), the RAS starts surfacing related information that presents you with knowledge and opportunities.
Once you are aware of something, you see it everywhere. Think of when you decide to buy a car, let’s say a white Tesla, you start seeing white Tesla’s more often than you used to. It’s not that there are more white Tesla’s on the road to spot, it’s just that they’ve come into your conscious awareness.
One of the most revolutionary findings in neuroscience is the discovery of neuroplasticity — the brain’s ability to change its structure and function in response to experience.
Thoughts and experiences physically rewire the brain by building synapses. When you focus on a specific possibility, your brain builds networks that search for opportunity.
Neuroplasticity suggests that:
This is not merely a theoretical flight-of-fancy. Mindfulness studies have shown evidence of neurological changes in areas of the brain responsible for managing stress, self-awareness and emotional balance.
A study coming out of the University of Alabama in Birmingham, USA showed how stroke patients can regain motor function. The novel idea for healing involves forcing patients to use of the affected limb, leading to structural changes in the brain’s motor cortex — even years after injury.
[As a side note, the UAB has had its funding cut. Just saying!]
The brain can rewire itself to compensate for damage, proving that new habits and repeated focus can reshape life experience. [4]
The reverse is also true. When you feel limited and afraid, your conscious mind makes decisions through networks programmed with fear and avoidance.
Many of the decisions you make are probably unconscious. You may be aware of the experience you’re having, but you may not be consciously aware of the motivating factor that is driving the action.
For example, a guy might like a girl and want to date her but avoids asking her out because he has an unconscious fear of rejection. So he never asks the question and never gets a date.
He is unable to fulfil his desire because he made the decision not to ask the girl out on a date.
We self-sabotage ourselves like this all the time.
Confirmation bias plays a powerful and often subconscious role in decision-making by causing people to seek, interpret, and recall information in a way that confirms their existing beliefs or desires, while ignoring or undervaluing conflicting information.
At its core, confirmation bias is a cognitive shortcut that helps the brain conserve energy by reinforcing existing mental models.
Rather than reevaluating our worldview with every new piece of information, we selectively pay attention to evidence that supports what we already think is true.
This can be problematic when what we believe is true is a limiting belief; i.e. I am not good enough, I am not worthy, I am not loveable.
In a 2009 study by Nickerson (Review of General Psychology), researchers found that confirmation bias is present in virtually all reasoning tasks — from political decision-making to medical diagnosis.
Brain imaging studies (e.g. Kapur et al., 2012) show that when we encounter information that confirms our beliefs, the reward centres in the brain light up.
You find evidence to support what you believe because it’s neurologically pleasurable to be "right."
If you think you're unlucky, your brain reinforces it and you experience bad luck.
If you believe you’re capable of reaching your goals, your brain will search for opportunities for you to act on and prove it.
However, to prove you are capable of reaching your goals, you also need to integrate the archetypal qualities that enable you to be successful. And that often involves overcoming emotional wounds.
Two key regions of the brain are essential to this experience: the limbic system and the neocortex.
The limbic system is the brain’s emotional centre. It includes structures like the amygdala (which processes fear and threat) and the hippocampus (which manages memory formation).
The neocortex, particularly the prefrontal cortex, is responsible for rational thought, problem-solving, imagination, planning, and conscious decision-making.
In a well-regulated brain, these two systems work in harmony — logic and emotion collaborating to interpret reality. But often, emotional experiences (especially unresolved or traumatic ones) dominate, creating distortions in how we perceive situations.
For example, if your limbic system is hyperactive due to past rejection, your neocortex may interpret neutral social cues as threats — shaping your reality as hostile or unsafe, even when it’s not.
In this scenario, your amygdala will hijack the decision-making faculty of the brain and activate the freeze-fight-flight stress response.
Learning to regulate emotional responses (through practices like mindfulness, therapy, or emotional intelligence training) restores balance between these systems and allows for a more accurate, empowered experience of life.
Emotion makes habits and goal-chasing stick. A deeply felt desire — one loaded with purpose or love — imprints more strongly on the brain. It boosts focus, resilience, and motivation, increasing your chances of success.
When you adopt thoughts that are healthy, positive and constructive, and then align your behaviours with your thoughts, you learn to elevate your emotions.
When you vibrate at a higher frequency with thoughts, emotions and behaviours that are grounded in love, compassion, gratitude and joy, the morphogenetic field mirrors your experiences within it.
