Convergencias teóricas entre el sistema reticular activador ascendente, la sintérgia y la ley de atracción.

Abstract

Introduction. The understanding of human perception has evolved toward models that recognize the active participation of the nervous system in the construction of subjective experience. However, while neuroscience has studied mechanisms such as the Ascending Reticular Activating System in the regulation of attention and consciousness, other conceptual approaches have addressed the influence of attention and intention from different perspectives. This diversity highlights the lack of analyses that integrate these perspectives within a unified theoretical framework. Objective. To analyze the theoretical convergences between the Ascending Reticular Activating System, the Syntropic Theory, and the Law of Attraction, based on the scientific literature. Methodology. A narrative literature review was conducted using a qualitative approach with an exploratory-analytical scope. Information was obtained by consulting specialized scientific databases (Scopus, PubMed, and ScienceDirect) using descriptors such as attention, perception, consciousness, intention, and ascending reticular activating system, combined using the Boolean operators AND and OR. Peer-reviewed articles and relevant theoretical sources were considered. Results. The reviewed literature shows that the Ascending Reticular Activating System has empirical support in the regulation of attention and states of consciousness, while neurocognitive models describe perception as a constructive process. Additionally, theoretical approaches indicate that the Syntropic Theory and the Law of Attraction address the relationship between attention, intention, and subjective experience from distinct conceptual frameworks. Conclusion. The theoretical integration suggests conceptual convergences, particularly regarding the active nature of perception and the influence of attentional processes on human experience.
