I would like to share with you my very first lesson with Bob Proctor. This was “The Stick Person”.

I had an “ah ha” moment. Now I can not only control my thoughts, but most importantly I can control what I let enter my subconscious mind, therefore changing my life forever in a positive way. I honestly believe that if you study the stick person and start to implement what you’ve learned into your life, you too will experience the positive changes that I have seen.

The Stick Person and You

For the most part none of us have ever seen the mind, and where there is no image there is confusion. The drawing below will give you a picture for your mind to work with.

Conscious Mind – Your thinking mind

Subconscious Mind – Your feeling mind or emotional mind

Body – The instrument of the mind.

Within the conscious mind you have the ability to choose your thoughts, and you can choose any thoughts you want. The conscious mind has the power to either accept or reject any thought or idea that presents itself. So if you have that choice, why not choose to build those BIG, BEAUTIFUL, WONDERFUL pictures of everything you want in your lives instead of choosing to build a picture of all things you don’t want in your lives and all the reasons why something just isn’t going to work out. You can take the very worst of situations and choose to think something positive about it.

So if you have the ability to replace the thoughts of an empty bank account with one full of what you need, or of you surrounded by loving and caring friends or healthy and active then this is what gets passed to your subconscious (remember it doesn't have a choice) and that leads to the results in your life.

Either way, the thoughts you choose to accept, whether they be positive or negative, are then impressed upon the subconscious mind and they dictate the way you feel. So if you think positive thoughts like ‘everything always works out for me, life is great, I am grateful’, you are going to feel good and you will actually attract more of those thoughts and feelings into your life.

Thoughts >> Feelings >> Action >> Results.

When you think of yourself see the stick person. When you think of the stick person see yourself.

When you choose an idea or thought to send to your subconscious mind, you can either do that based on your five senses (hear, see, smell, taste and touch) or you can do it by using your higher faculties – Do you know your higher faculties?

That’s what The Law of Attraction is all about, expanding your current awareness so you have more control and attract more of what you want into your life.

Napoleon Hill’s book, “Think and Grow Rich, was a study of 500 affluent people to find out their secret to success. Hill talks about the intellectual mind and states, ‘An educated person is one that has developed his intellectual faculties to such an extent that they can create anything they want or its equivalent without violating the rights of others”.

The problem is we have been so conditioned by our physical world, through our bodies - physical senses, but not through this higher side of our personality. And that’s really where the magic is! Our senses act like antenna that feed information to your conscious mind and they allow us to see things around us and hear our world etc. The challenge is being able to ignore what's going on around us and originate our own thoughts. If we continually think about an empty bank account then the laws of the universe will automatically make that happen for us, but if we think about having all the money we need to live the life you want to lead then the same laws apply.

The following are 2 of these 6 intellectual faculties Napoleon Hill was talking about:

The first is perception. This is how we see our world. It’s our point of view. Is your cup half full or half empty? One of the natural laws of the universe is the Law of Polarity and it states that everything has a polar opposite. With every up there’s a down, with every in there’s an out, with every bad there is a good. So we must choose to see that good.

When I was a young University student, I applied for the accounting program solely because it was ranked top 3 in the nation. I didn’t get accepted. Looking back; I’m glad that I did not get accepted and believe that it was really a blessing since I would never have gotten into the software engineering field I am in now. It has been a fruitful and fulfilling career for me.

Dr. Wayne Dyer said it best, he said “when you begin to change how you look at things, the things you look at will change.”

The next faculty is will. Will is the ability to concentrate, and stay focused on an idea to the exclusion of all other distractions. Emerson said that, “the only thing that can grow is the thing we give energy to”. You have to have an unwavering certainty that you’re going to achieve our goal. If you can be taken off track easily you will not be successful.

Focus all your energy on the results you desire, don’t allow any negative thoughts, conditions or circumstances stop you from reaching your goal.

The remaining 4 intellectual faculties are imagination, intuition, memory, and reason.

So instead of gathering information from the lower side of our nature you must develop and use the higher side of our personality, our intellect. And when you do, you then can begin to change the way you feel, and move this thing we call a body into a completely different vibration which ultimately changes your results.

Your mind, your intellect is one of the most powerful engines of success. Develop it, use it properly and become a co-creator of your own destiny! Are you ready to expand your Awareness? Are you ready to learn more about each of the intellectual faculty and how to apply it to changing your life?
