Life Is not the amount of breaths you take, it’s the
moments in your life that take your breath away.

My thoughts Chapter 14 This time
Whoa Another set of Aha moments, more like Aha
hours LISTEN to this
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
“The ‘thirteenth’ principle is known as the SIXTH
SENSE, through which Infinite Intelligence may,
and will communicate voluntarily, without any
effort from, or demands by, the individual. This
principle is the apex of the philosophy.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This little paragraph now holds such significance
for me - I can VOLUNTARILY without effort communicate
with what Mr Hill describes infinite intelligence -
How could I master this I asked myself each time I
read this chapter - Well first I had to learn to
dream again, to see in my mind my achieving the life
I have always wanted - Why have I never quite got
here before ? What stopped me three feet from the
Gold —— I DID———
I listened to OPP “other peoples programming” I let
their thoughts become my thoughts,….their beliefs
become my beleifs, I stopped dreaming —— Once I
STOPPED the chatter and reintroduced me to me, the
dreams started ——- once the dreams started my
imagination woke up just like Rip Van Winkle awaking
from a 20 year nap….
My imagination fires my visualizations I now see my
self living the reality I have always desired , but
until now has been a fleeting image in my mind _I was
unable to grasp it firmly, unable to beleive it could
ever come true - Today when my “little voice” speaks
it sounds as if she is using a megaphone, she will not
ever again be denied existence, never again be shut
out - I listen and the opportunites are brought to
me - my desires are MY reality…
The starting point of ALL achievment is Desire. How
can there be any doubt in my mind that I need to have
clarity of thought as to what it is that I desire. Mr.
Hill, again and again has made the point that the key
to achieving ones goals is to have the burning desire
to ignite the the passion within us to move us from a
state of merely wishing to one in which our actions
bring about the desired goal.
Were I not able to imagine this, I would not be able
to Visualize it, Were i not able to visualize my
desires I would not be able to achieve them - Wow I
am soo happy I let my imagination run wild - how can
I have passion without imagination - Simple I can’t
How can I have clarity of thought If I am stifiling
my imagination, I can’t, how can I resolve issues,
disolve doubts If I refuse to listen to my inner
voice my sixth sense simple I can’t How can I
achieve that which I DO NOT allow myself to Dream
of, simple I can’t…
My dreams and imagination are the fuel that stokes
my emotions, raises the passion that I posses to
achieve my burning desire How ?
Simple I can see it -If I can see a point off in the
distance walking there is easy I just do it And to
imagine This began because one man said ..”Sarah,I
will beleive in You until You believe in Your self.
He told me “I will never give up on you “My children
are the only ones who ever (prior to Michael and
Linda) had unconditional love and belief in me.
Thier (Michael and Lindas ) beleif was not based on
what I had done, Simply based on what they Knew I was
capable of achieivng once I learned to believe in me.
All I had to do, is take the simple step to to make
the choice to beleive in me Easy to do, and ya know
what also very Easy not to do,, this is a step now
take every morning
Thank you both for the precious gift of time and
belief

Chapter 14
The Sixth Sense
The Door to the Temple of Wisdom
The Thirteenth Step toward Riches
The last time I read this chapter I came to understand
that the sixth sense is, in essence, man’s human spirit
since that is the only way we connect with Infinite
Intelligence, spirit to Spirit.
This time I picked up on something that I totally missed
before and that is the statement “The next best thing to
being truly great, is to emulate the great.”
I have never before now emulated anyone. Notice I
said before now. You see, I have never had a mentor
or anyone else I desired to be like. Sure, I’ve known
people who have been successful in their chosen field,
but never thought about emultaing them to build my
character through autosuggestion. Until now.
In examining Napoleon HIlls’ cabinet members, there
are several character traits I wish to emulate so I
started thinking about people who I could possibly
follow. However, I could only think of one person who
I admire and respect, someone who has literally
changed the lives of thousands and one day soon,
millions of people.
I desire to acquire their freedom of thought and the
courage and clarity with which to express convictions.
I desire to acquire from them the marvelous patience
and ability to study cause and effect without bias or prejudice.
I desire to build into my character the keen sense of
justice, the untiring spirit of patience, the sense
of humor, and human understanding.
I am already indebted to them for helping me to
succeed in my business, which is bringing me great
happiness and peace of mind. I wish to acquire
thorough understanding of the principles of organized
effort, which they have used so effectively in building
their empire.
I wish to acquire their spirit of persistence,
determination, poise and self-confidence which has
enabled them to master poverty, organize, simplify
and unify human effort so I may help others to follow
in their footsteps.
I wish to acquire from them, by emulation, the
marvelous ability they possess to inspire men, and
to arouse them to greater and more determined spirit
of action. Also, to acquire the spirit of enduring
faith, which enabled them to turn defeat into victory,
and to surmount staggering obstacles.
Emperor of Fate, King of Chance, Man and Woman of
Destiny, I salute you, Michael & Linda Dlouhy.
(Behind every great manis a great woman and you two
do flow as one).
Thanks for giving me someone to emulate so I, too,
can step into my greatness.
Sincerely,
Irma White

Chapter 14 The Sixth Sense
The sixth sense is not something easily described to
people who have not studied and mastered the other
principles in this book.
It is another name for Creative Imangination. The
Creative Imagination is the part of us that suddenly
gets a great idea, or thought or a plan that comes to
mind to achieve a goal or solve a problem.
It is a mixture of the mental and the spiritual.
When I sit in church and clear my mind of ALL thoughts,
I begin to hear solutions or ideas for attaining a new
goal in my business, or ways to love on my children or
just gratitude for being alive and having fun in my
business and in my personal life for the first time
Ever.
Hill says that we also have a sense of impending dangers
in time to avoid them or opportunities in time to embrace
them. Probably the hardest lesson I ever learned was to
listen to my foreboding, when I felt a knotting up in my
stomach when I was going to do something somebody wanted
me to do that I wasn’t’ sure of, or paid somebody for
something that I was uncomfortable doing. I used to get
taken advantage of so SO much before I learned this
lesson.
Hill speaks of building character through auto-
suggestion. He speaks of having a table of people
you admire to council with every night. What an
Awesome thought! I know that I now do this with
my therapist who became a mother to me.
She told me I would be able to do this one day. To
learn to know what to do because I had learned so
much from her. Because she had comforted me so much
through my difficult days. I learned to comfort My
self, and draw on her and what she’d taught me.
Now I see doing this with my Network Marketing mentors.
To have more time spent with them in my mind’s eye. We
don’t always see each other in person Michael, but I
can still take what I’ve learned and what I am learning
from you and council with you and Tom “Big Al” Shreiter
and Art Jonak every night before I go to sleep, and
receive what Hill is talking about.
WOW! What a thought! This is how my sixth sense will
be able to draw from the ether and the ideas floating
around out there!
This way I can continue to expel all negative thoughts
that used to live in my mind that sometimes I find move
in without my realizing it. Today, as I was teaching
my daughter’s religious education class, this 6th grader
talked of a baby being brutally hurt by her father, or
killed or something to do with a microwave.
Michael my mind immediately graphically saw this. My
stomach knotted up, I wanted to run to the bathroom and
sit on the floor rolled up in a tight ball fighting tears.
I realized immediately that the thought had been so power
ful it had permeated all my defenses. I could see myself teetering on the brink of succumbing to all the horrible physical and mental anguish I used to feel.
I began my self talk fast and furious. I did not have
much faith that I would be successful in dispelling it,
but lo and behold! It worked! I was Amazed!
Thank you so much for this lesson. It has probably saved
my life in more ways than one.
So with that, I have to say, that what I would ask you
to give me in my Nightly Council before I go to sleep
is: Your confidence, your total mastery of this
business and relationship building, your vast un-
believable knowledge of all the nuts and bolts, the
good the bad and the ugly.
Your Amazing love for so many. And last but not least,
your Unbelievable conviction that you DESERVE a life
most people only dream of and the Powerful Powerful
ability to VISUALIZE beyond belief.
From Tom “Big Al” Shreiter, I ask the ability to make
people laugh. The poise and the knowledge to stand in
front of many and teach such skills and talents. The
character to become so beloved among his peers.
The freedom to travel to all ends of the earth. And
the wonderful gift to have raised such beautiful, self
adjusted children.
From Art Jonak, I wish to acquire his ability to create powerful relationships and respect in this industry.His
UTMOST professionalism to never say anything Negative
about Anybody.
His skillfulness to always make me feel good and gently
suggest and not Criticize and last but not least, his
ability to Enjoy “life and work” to the Fullest!
I Absolutely know and trust, that I will gain my hunches, ideas, plans and actions from Infinite intelligence more frequently and more Powerfully than ever before from this
point forward! And in turn, I will most importantly be
able to share them with the people that I mentor on a
daily basis.
Your Friend For Life,
Cynthia Breed
