About Elias Raes, CSE

Elias Raes is a self-taught mind explorer, author, and transformation mentor who has spent over 15 years studying the brain, consciousness, and human behavior. His education didn’t come from institutions. It came from the classroom of real life, through thousands of hours of dedicated research, inner work, and helping others shift their lives without asking for anything in return.

As a CSE (Citizen Scholar of Enlightenment), Elias stands for a new kind of authority. One built on experience, not diplomas. He believes you don’t need a fancy degree to create genuine change. What matters is the depth of your understanding, your willingness to grow, and your ability to apply what you learn to help others rise.

Elias specializes in cognitive neuroscience, behavioral mindset strategies, and thought engineering. He is the creator of the Mental Coding System (MCS), a practical framework that bridges brain science with habit formation and shadow engine reprogramming. His writing blends psychology, spirituality, and personal mastery into clear, actionable systems anyone can use to reshape their mind and reclaim their potential.

Known by many as “The Citizenologist,” Elias makes complex ideas accessible and usable. His work's foundation is action, not merely knowledge. He teaches from the life he lives.

Beyond the page, Elias is a devoted husband and father. When he’s not writing, he’s training, meditating, reading, or passing his insights to his daughters—living proof that wisdom is something you embody, not just explain.
