The Sixth Sense

Your Psyche Shapes Your World

Napoleon Hill called the thirteenth and final step of Think and Grow Rich, “The Sixth Sense,” adding: “This principle is the apex of the philosophy.” Time has validated the success master’s insight.

In The Sixth Sense, Mitch Horowitz, one of today’s most literate voices of self-help, explores the practical uses of this ultimate step in Hill’s philosophy, including how:

You broadcast your thoughts and self-image to others—and both are changeable. ESP, telepathy, and precognition are facts demonstrated by replicable and recent lab data. “Mental telepathy is a reality,” Hill wrote. Sexual desire can be placed in service of your creative efforts and strivings. Getting free from predatory and negative people has enormous implications for your psyche and its powers. You can seek out and cultivate a higher version of your present persona. What you think about vividly and frequently selects aspects of your world. You are freer than you know from society’s timelines and attitudes about age. You can merge with a “cosmic flow” and allow it to aid your success. Extra-physical impressions are as real as the air you breathe—hence, you must carefully cultivate your environment and relationships. Enthusiasm is vital to accessing imagination, intuition, and insight. Andrew Carnegie wrote his own conclusions about wealth-gathering—learn from them. Precognition and retrocausality—the subject of recent academic studies and meta-analyses—demonstrate that future actions impact current performance. We experience daily moments of relaxation that function as “prime time” for intuition, autosuggestion, and ESP-related activity.
“Your psyche,” Mitch writes, “participates in a network of events, at once infinite and simultaneous, that occupy different intersections or dimensions of time and occur beyond perceptions of linearity.” These are evidence-based truths. Mitch demonstrates how to use them.
