Skeptics often dismiss repeating numbers as selective observation, and modern neuroscience explains part of this mechanics through the Reticular Activating System (RAS). The RAS acts as a biological filter in your brain stem, processing roughly 2 million bits of information per second down to the few thousand your conscious mind can handle. When an internal priority shifts, your RAS flags corresponding symbols in the environment.
