This week’s question from our portal “Ask Us Anything” comes from Javier.
In “Think and Grow Rich”, Chapter 14, they talk about the sixth sense and having a round table with nine invisible counselors – heroes you admire. You shut your eyes, use imagination with them seated around a table, and ask for their qualities and understanding. Do you have experience doing this? Can you explain the mechanics?
Yes, absolutely. I do it frequently. It’s exactly the way Napoleon Hill lays it out. I do it with people that were either mentors of mine or people that I admire in life – all of them are dead at this point. It works. It absolutely works.
The one suggestion I have is that you actually set it up on a table. I usually do it on my dining room table and I will put a piece of paper like a place setting – this person, then this person sitting next to them. Then I will sit at the table and address that person exactly like Napoleon Hill’s talking about and specifically ask the question for the information you want feedback from them.
It’s incredible.
I do it when I get really stuck – when there’s something I’m not seeing, when I know I’ve got a blind spot someplace. And I don’t expect an immediate answer. Usually it comes to me over a period of days.
There’s a shortcut to it: Napoleon Hill picked those people because there were qualities of their life he absolutely admired. However, if it’s just a problem you’re facing, you can ask your subconscious mind to give you the answer to the problem without actually doing that other exercise.
When you do it, say “Subconscious mind, I command that you give me the answer to this problem.” Then you let it go. It will show up in a dream or it’ll show up in an idea. Do the command and then it’ll come when it’s going to come.
