“Through the aid of the sixth sense, you will be warned of impending dangers in time to avoid them, and notified of opportunities in time to embrace them.” — Think And Grow Rich

This book on making money has suddenly taken a turn into serious woo-woo territory, if one has a strictly “practical” view of the world. If you don’t allow the possibility of psychic phenomena, intuition, and the like, then it would be useful to simply say that he is speaking of what happens when all the different aspects of the mind, heart, and body align to a common purpose.

The author makes it clear that, as this is the last principle, to determine whether or not it is real you must first practice the first twelve. Only then are you in a position to know.

I can only say here that most of the most advanced teachers I’ve had in any discipline have spoken of this phenomenon. That doesn’t make them correct — they might all be deluded, of course. But my own experiences align with that, whether it is ideas coming from “nowhere”, warnings of impending danger flashing to mind during periods of intense training and meditation, or absolute clarity that Tananarive was “the One” without any real evidence at all.

I totally understand why you might bail at this point, but if you will invest yourself in this program, you’ll have the data to make a real decision.
