The Door To The Temple Of Wisdom

After you have mastered the principles described in this book, you will be prepared to accept as truth a statement which may, otherwise, be incredible to you, namely: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.There comes to your aid, and to do your bidding, with the development of the sixth sense, a “guardian angel” who will open to you at all times the door to the Temple of Wisdom.

The first time I came across this chapter on The Sixth Sense, I didn’t fully understand what I was reading. My beliefs had already been shattered though so I didn’t dismiss it. Instead, like every process in Think and Grow Rich, I tried it.

I’ll share with you what my experiences were with this in my next blog post.

But for now, let’s briefly look over what Napoleon is suggesting.

Simply put, Napoleon would form an imaginary meeting in his mind and would imagine a meeting was taking place. He was the meetings organizer and everyone in this meeting was chosen because they had knowledge he wished to accumulate.

His meeting would consist of;
Himself (Napoleon Hill)
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Thomas Paine
Thomas Edison
Charles Darwin
Abraham Lincoln
Luther Burbank
Henry Ford
Andrew Carnegie

He would hold this meeting every day in his imagination and invited the same members.

What he discovered was that these so called imaginary meetings began not being so imaginary. He found that their characters were being developed in every meeting. Surprisingly, after doing his research on these men’s lives, he discovered that the characters in his mind were extremely similar to the ones in his imaginary meetings.

Here’s an excerpt of one of the conversations Napoleon experienced…

One evening Edison arrived ahead of all the others. He walked over and seated himself at my left, where Emerson was accustomed to sit, and said, “You are destined to witness the discovery of the secret of life. When the time comes, you will observe that life consists of great swarms of energy, or entities, each as intelligent as human beings think themselves to be. These units of life group together like hives of bees, and remain together until they disintegrate, through lack of harmony.

These units have differences of opinion, the same as human beings, and often fight among themselves. These meetings which you are conducting will be very helpful to you. They will bring to your rescue some of the same units of life which served the members of your Cabinet, during their lives. These units are eternal. THEY NEVER DIE! Your own thoughts and DESIRES serve as the magnet which attracts units of life, from the great ocean of life out there. Only the friendly units are attracted–the ones which harmonize with the nature of your DESIRES.”

I believe these are much more than imaginary encounters.
What do you think?
