[Music] paradigms control the results in your
life they have the power over everything in
your life from your relationships to your
income and when you shift your paradigm everything
in your life improves hello I'm Bob Proctor
and I want to welcome you to paradigm shift
where we're going to teach you how to make
quantum leaps in the improvement of the results
in your life you know to do this we have to
get in talked about the mind because paradigms
it's all about the mind if you stop the next
10 people walking down the street and ask
them what a paradigm is they're gonna look
at you and they're not gonna know the answer
to it so you may not know the answer to it
but it's a part of the conditioning in our
mind and to help us in this particular show
we're going to be talking about developing
the higher faculties of the mind now when
it comes to talking about the mind we've got
to get an image to work with you see no one's
ever seen the mind and we think in pictures
if I asked you to think of your automobile
you'd get an image of the automobile on the
screen of your mind if I asked you to think
of the refrigerator in your kitchen you'd
get an image of the refrigerator on the screen
of your mind however when I asked you to think
of your mind what image do you again you see
most people don't have an image and unfortunately
when there's no image there's confusion when
there's confusion we immediately start thinking
of something else and that's precisely why
most people stay stuck you see our mind controls
our results and as our results that we want
to change and if we're going to change the
results we're gonna have to change what's
going on inside now dr.
Thurm inflate back around 1934 was interested
in the healing arts and he said we're just
treating the body if you're gonna have any
health you've got to treat the whole person
so he originated this image of the mind I've
been using it now for 38 years I have shared
this image with people all over the world
and I have been focusing on helping people
improve their income I've watched people gone
from earning a couple thousand a year to over
a million because they understood how to make
the necessary changes inside so that they
can enjoy the changes outside now Jeannot
Napoleon Hill was a phenomenal author and
he talked a lot about the mind he talked a
lot about our thinking he talked a lot about
our conscious mind and the way we think do
you know that there's a thought power flowing
into our consciousness and we can think anything
we want anything play with it for a moment
start to let your mind wander you can think
of the beach you can think of a lake you can
think of fishing you can think of golfing
you can think of playing with a child just
like that you can change your thoughts and
your consciousness but you know something
that doesn't necessarily change your behavior
you see your thoughts are in the top half
that's what we refer to as the conscious mind
the subconscious is what's controlling the
behavior of your body it controls every action
you're involved in now your actions control
your results in napoleon hill's book he said
an educated person is not necessarily a person
with an abundance of general or specialized
knowledge he said an educated person as a
person who has so developed the faculties
of their mind that they can acquire anything
they want or its equivalent without violating
the rights of others you know I was doing
a seminar for two thousand schoolteachers
a number of years ago I couldn't find one
teacher that could tell us what the faculties
of our mind we're now they didn't know what
they were they're sure not gonna be able to
teach us how to develop them do you know that
we have mental faculties inside and that's
where all our power lives and what we want
to learn to do is develop those faculties
now let's come back to this little drawing
and we take a look at it and I want you to
take a look now at these little antennae that
are sticking up from the part where the feelings
are resident why do we feel the way we feel
we feel the way we feel because of the vibration
we're in see feelings are a word that we invented
to describe our conscious awareness of the
vibration we're in now we have sensory factors
we can see hear smell taste and touch and
do you know that you and I are conditioned
to live through those sensory factors we look
at our bank account and that tells us we're
at financially we take a look at x-rays or
listen to the doctor and that tells us where
we are physically insofar as our health is
concerned but does it really why do we do
that well we do it because we've been conditioned
to do it as a little child we were told to
listen to what I'm telling you will you look
at this and then we went to school and what
did they do they give us a sheet of paper
that they called a report card and on that
report card were all the marks that we'd achieved
on our last exam and we started to let that
report card dictate what kind of person we
are does it really not at all but that's the
idea we're operating with and that's the idea
that's controlling many of our lives you see
what the report card really did was tell you
where your mind was at for a few minutes maybe
three four weeks ago it is absolutely nothing
to do with your potential and that has absolutely
nothing to do with what you're capable of
accomplishing in your life now let's take
a look at these higher faculties we have reason
memory perception will intuition and imagination
and that's really what I want to talk to you
about here on paradigm shift today because
as we start to understand these faculties
and how they work we can literally start to
take control over our life let's take a look
at the reasoning factor what do we do with
the reasoning factor we choose our thoughts
to see there is a power that flows to and
through us and thence that power is flowing
into our consciousness we can make anything
out of but we want that is really where all
creation starts in our life you can think
anything you want as a matter of fact that's
where your freedom comes in you know Viktor
Frankl of Viennese psychiatrist a Jewish psychiatrist
that spent the war years in a camp he said
that while he was in that camp regardless
of the intellectual or physical abuse he was
subjected to no one could cause him to think
something he didn't want to think our reasoning
factor is the mental tool that we think with
now do you know all the great leaders all
down through history have all been in complete
and unanimous agreement then we become what
we think about what do you think of it do
you want to know what you're thinking about
most of the time take a look at the results
you're getting that'll tell you exactly what's
going on inside you know the sad truth is
most people don't think I had the very good
fortune of working with Earl Nightingale for
five years he was considered the Dean of personal
motivation he was an incredible human being
he and Lloyd Conant really had a impact on
my life but Hurley used to say if most people
said what they were thinking they would be
speechless now you may laugh at that but think
about it for a few minutes dr. ken MacFarlane
he said 2% of the people think 3% think they
think and 95% would actually rather die than
think Henry Ford one time pointed out that
thinking is the hardest work there is which
is the probable reason so few people engage
in it make you say well everybody thinks now
the truth is hardly anyone thinks stand back
and watch people's behavior just study their
behavior and you know something you're gonna
quickly realize they never do what they were
doing if they were thinking or listened to
their conversation they'd never say what they
were saying if they were thinking the truth
is most people don't think well how did they
function well they've tricked themselves into
believing that mental activities thinking
they're just letting whatever's going on outside
of them control what's going on inside now
that's rather sad but it's true now go to
the next one memory you know the average individual
wanders around their whole life saying I've
got a terrible memory I've got a terrible
memory I remember one time I was working with
Harry Lorayne Harry flew in from New York
to Toronto he picked up a Newsweek magazine
published every week when he got to Toronto
it was a recent magazine that day when he
got to Toronto he gave it to someone and asked
him to cut the spine off it and go and duplicate
all the pages now on each page he had taken
the number of a page with black marker and
big letters and rewritten a number of the
page there was around 3,000 people at that
conference everyone was given a page and you
know you could stand up during his presentation
and you could yellowed page 26 and start reading
and wherever you stopped he would continue
Harry Lorayne had a phenomenal memory he stood
at the door and met most people coming in
or a good number them and when he started
he asked them he said if anybody was at the
door if I met you stand up for a few moments
he not only told everybody what their name
was if was a difficult name to pronounce he
would spell it Harry had a phenomenal memory
now you know I remember asking Harry one time
I said Harry how long do you remember something
he said till I want to forget it you see the
truth is there's no such thing as a bad memory
there's only weak memories think of this for
a moment these mental faculties that we've
got there's something like our physical muscles
there our mental muscles and if we want to
develop our mental faculties we're gonna have
to exercise them I want you to imagine if
I let this arm in a sling and then lifted
weights with this arm every day what would
happen I think you'd quickly recognize that
this arm would be rendered useless in a relatively
short period of time if this one would develop
very powerful muscles I often say it's fairly
obvious I haven't done either of these things
but if I had you know what would happen you
know it's exactly the same with our mind if
we don't exercise our mind it becomes lethargic
it becomes useless it's been said well we
don't use we lose now take a look at those
just those two mental faculties reason and
memory we have the ability to think anything
we want and we become what we think about
we've got a phenomenal memory we can remember
anything you see memory is developed through
association not just association but ridiculous
Association I want to recommend you going
buy a good book on memory now if you get a
good book on memory you're gonna find that
there's many chapters in the book one is to
remember names and other ones numbers in other
ones places if you want to remember names
that's what most people would really like
to do just take the section on names and study
that study nothing else and work at it do
you know if worked at that every day for 90
days just developing the technique of remembering
names pretty soon you would be construed be
considered an extraordinary thing by all your
friends they'd say had been talented they'd
say you've been born with a photographic memory
the truth is you haven't not any more than
I have or anybody else so as you work at this
everything in your life is going to change
now let's take a look at the next mental faculty
is perception what are we talking about here
we're talking about our point of view we're
talking about how we look at a situation you'll
often see two people in total opposition and
they both think they're right the truth is
they both aren't right you know I have a book
that I hold up in a seminar it's thinking
Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill I've been carrying
this book with me since 1963 and on the one
side it's a black leather cover on the book
on the one side it says Think and Grow Rich
and Gold stamping goals almost war enough
now but it is there on the other side there's
nothing now I will frequently stand in front
of a person and hold that book up there staring
at it all they can see is what's on the cover
of the book and then I look at the person
and I say I'm going to tell you there's nothing
printed on the cover that book yeah my right
or wrong and they'll immediately say I'm wrong
now I said if I insist that there's nothing
on the cover of the book what have I done
I have drawn your conscious attention to what
is printed on the cover of the book you see
I am causing you to focus on what is in front
of you I'm not causing you to look at it my
point of view I'm causing you to look at it
from your point of view and they'll insist
that I'm wrong and then I turn the book around
well they don't want to let go of the fact
I'm wrong but I said there's nothing on the
buck and there's nothing on the book where
I was looking at what was I doing I was looking
at the opposite side of the same thing we're
both looking at the book now I find out there's
two sides to the book and since that person's
facing me or I'm facing them what I consider
the right side of the book they'll consider
the left side would I consider the left they
consider the right think of this this whole
universe operates by law to Wernher von Braun
said that the natural laws of this universe
are so precise that we don't have any difficulty
building spaceships we can send people to
the moon and we can time the landing with
the precision of a fraction of a second one
of these laws is the law of polarity the law
of polarity decrees that everything has an
opposite it's the flip side to the coin the
right side to the book the left side the front
the back well you might consider this the
next time you disagree with someone and you
might be saying they're wrong they're right
from their point of view it might not be taking
them where they want to go but their point
of view is still just as every bit as accurate
and as right as yours said you see it's not
what we're looking at it's how we're looking
at it you know until I was 26 years old I
looked at the side of me that wasn't capable
of doing anything I never accomplished anything
nothing I feel that almost everything I ever
did school I went into the Navy I went in
an ordinary seaman come on in able seaman
then I went to work in factories and bars
and I was sitting in a fire hall when I picked
up napoleon hill's book and I started to study
it and that got me to think I started used
my higher faculties and he stopped and I used
to think wonder what I am capable of doing
you see what I was doing I was looking at
the downside of my life I wasn't looking at
the upside I was looking at the things I had
done wrong I wasn't looking at my potential
and you know that book cause me to totally
shift my perception of who I was and what
I was I started to understand some of these
higher faculties and my whole life began to
change you know I went from earning $4,000
a year get one year to 175,000 then went over
a million I have shared these ideas with people
all over the world for the past 38 years I
am firmly convinced I can show anyone how
to become a millionaire simply by shifting
their paradigm and if you're going to shift
your paradigm you're gonna have to learn how
to use these higher faculties now take a look
at the next mental faculty is the will the
will is a marvelous tool the will gives us
the ability to concentrate you see I mentioned
earlier that there's a power that flows to
and through us and as it flows through us
we give it direction you know the will to
the mind is something like what a magnifying
glass is to the Sun I can hold a magnifying
glass and I did when I was a child and you
probably did too if we could cause the Sun
to focus we would marshal that energy and
bring it to a white-hot bead possibly on a
piece of paper maybe leaves sometimes on ourselves
and what did we do we started to fire with
it we took the heat of the energy focused
it brought it to a white-hot beat wood you
know that's what the mind does with the will
the will gives us the ability to take an idea
and hold that idea that's zero right in on
something you're gonna find that all top salespeople
have a highly evolved will all top leaders
have a highly evolved will you see it's the
will that gives us the ability to focus think
of this for a moment remember we have those
sensory factors we can see hear smell taste
touch well there forever picking up information
from outside all of nature's creatures respond
to outside stimuli well the will picks up
information from outside if it scatters our
brain literally so we've got a zillion pictures
most people have more ideas on the screen
of their mind then you'll find in an encyclopedia
in a matter of a minute or two but the person
who is a highly-evolved will they think they've
build an image and they focus on that image
and they're the people that really make things
happen it's a salesperson that focuses on
the sale gets the leader that focuses on the
objective you know I've got a couple of statues
of Napoleon in my home and I've got him there
for a couple of reasons I don't think he was
a particularly nice guy but he was a very
powerful leader one of his biographers called
him organized victory another one said he
had immense capacity for sustained concentration
you know one of his biographers quoted him
he said I see only the objective the obstacle
must give way well Napoleon had a highly-evolved
will now let's move on to the next one intuition
you know we talk about a woman's intuition
women don't have any more intuition than men
do intuition is a mental faculty you'll often
hear people refer to it as a sixth sense it's
not a sixth sense we have five senses we can
hear see smell taste touch get intuition is
a mental faculty and it's something everyone
has everyone has a highly evolved intuition
your intuitive factor is what picks up other
people's vibration when you wander in the
home and somebody says what's wrong you say
nothing the dog even knows something's wrong
you'll see it shooting under the table you'll
pick up people's you know people that are
moody people what do we mean by that well
they're either in a good mood or a bad mood
in other words there's good energy around
them where there's bad energy around them
got some people you want to take their temperature
before you even speak to them because you
don't know whether they're gonna kiss you
or kick you your intuitive factor is that
mental faculty that picks up the energy around
the person you see your mental faculties really
tell you a lot your body is a molecular structure
your body is a massive energy and a very high
speed of vibration you know Semyon Kirlian
way back in the 30s perfected a form of photography
where you can photograph the energy field
around the body now as you change the images
in your mind the density and the color of
this energy will change well it's your intuitive
factor that picks up that energy and you see
when you're dealing with the mind there isn't
any such thing as time or space you could
have a good friend that's wandering under
some say they say in Paris you could be on
Fifth Avenue in New York and you'll get a
strong vibration that you should phone that
person you're picking up their energy they're
thinking you see thought waves are cosmic
waves that penetrate all time and space well
your intuitive factor is what picks up their
thought vibrations you know I've got a very
highly involved into a defector and it isn't
by accident I've conscious I deliberately
worked at developing it because I'm working
with audiences all the time you're going to
find that most musicians have a highly evolved
intuitive factor there now they may not be
aware of it but they're working with the energy
of the audience all the time well when you
develop your intuition you've got one of the
most phenomenal faculties that you're ever
going to find and it's going to work for you
and you can do that now let's go to the final
one we're going to the imagination someone
said it's the greatest nation in the world
Napoleon Hill said the imagination is the
most powerful most miraculous inconceivably
powerful force that the world's ever known
think of it an imagination you know we can
build anything in our imagination do you know
that's where all creation begins in your life
then go was a great artist he was asked one
time he said how he did such beautiful work
he said I dream my painting and then I paint
my dream well you know that's what you do
that's what I do everything's created twice
once on a mental plane and once on a physical
plane do you know that the Internet has always
been here it took someone's imagination to
see it how do you really want to live do you
know that your imagination will take you there
you know what our problem is we build the
picture of how we really want to live and
our paradigm knocks that out of our mind because
the paradigm saying you can't do this see
the paradigms like a group of little monkeys
in your head they keep talking to you and
they keep telling you why you can't do something
the paradigm doesn't want to change the paradigm
is a multitude of habits that's what culture
is group habit I have traveled into many different
countries in many different cultures and you
know something when you get past the culture
people are essentially the same we look different
we speak different languages we'd wear different
clothes you know we eat different food but
you want to know something we're all the same
we are all the same we have a marvelous mind
there is only one mind it's not a mind for
the black and of mind for the white mind for
the Asians mind for the Asians that's not
the way it is at all there is one mind yet
we all tune into the same mind and these higher
faculties everyone has and we can develop
them and we can develop them to a phenomenal
degree how well have you developed yours have
you ever worked at developing them that's
what paradigm shift is all about to see we
want you to take a serious and a conscious
look at your life and ask yourself how do
you really want to live that's what this series
is all about you're capable of doing anything
you want I want to suggest you start thinking
of your income that's an area that most people
want to improve I think its inherent with
them as to to want to enjoy time and money
freedom and you're capable of enjoying time
and money freedom you're capable of doing
anything that you really want to do what do
you really want to do you know most people
really don't know if you stop the average
individual on the street and ask them what's
your goal where you going what do you want
to accomplish with your life most people don't
know it's rather sand now I'm going to share
some statistics with you that are rather shocking
do you know that one percent of our population
earns ninety six percent of all the money
that's being earned think about that for a
moment that's almost ludicrous as a matter
of fact if you're not familiar with it you'll
probably think I'm exaggerating but I'm really
not one percent of our population earns ninety
six percent of all the money how did I go
from four thousand year to over a million
was no accident I decided that I was going
to figure out what exactly did happen and
I've never stopped studying that was 45 years
ago did you know what I found anyone can do
it you know most of the information that you're
operating with that's been programmed in your
paradigm is false oh yeah you see I grew up
with the idea if you're gonna earn a lot of
money you've got to be really smart well I
knew that wasn't truth because I wasn't very
smart and I was earning over a million dollars
a year think about it for a moment I grew
up with the idea if you're going to really
win you're gonna have to go through school
I've gone to high school for two months and
yet I teach mental health to psychiatrists
today how do these things happen well they
happen because the person decides they're
going to happen you see you and I have the
ability to make a decision of what we're going
to do with their life or we can let the paradigm
control us and just sort of march along in
lockstep type fashion that's what most people
do you know most people live the same they
live the way the guy next door lives who's
following the guy next door who's following
the guy next door and you know something unfortunately
none of them seem to know where they're going
why do they do that well they don't really
know do you know what it is it's their paradigm
go into a welfare area and you know something
almost all welfare recipients are 3rd 5th
and 6th generation welfare recipients you
know no one ever went through school in our
family when we got to a certain age we were
asked are you gonna go and I said no I'm out
of here and as I started to study this material
before I had any children I just changed one
question I didn't ask them if they were gonna
go I asked them where they were gonna go and
they've all gone through school don't you
know you have the ability through a decision
of changing your life I'm going to ask you
to stop and ask yourself what are you gonna
do with your life do you know if you've got
it written out in a clear concise statement
do you know what your purpose is give a vision
do you know what your goal is now in this
series we cover all these different points
you're not going to learn how to make a paradigm
shift here in 30 minutes but if you keep studying
this information it will become as clear to
you as it is to me you see I often say I've
got license to brag about all the information
I've got because none of it's mine I have
just been absolutely fascinated with why you
and I do what we do why we don't do many of
the things we want to do I decided a long
time ago that I was going to be in control
of my life no one else was and then I took
a look at a globe one day and I thought you
know this world isn't that big as a matter
of fact the world shrinking and I decided
I want my company to span the world and today
I have offices all around the world I'm doing
exactly what I decided to do did you know
something when I decided I had absolutely
no idea of how I was going to do it that's
part of our paradigm the paradigm we get hung
up on how do you remember when you were just
a little child that's really when the conditioning
was really moving into high gear and you come
and said mommy daddy I want to do so-and-so
and they say how are you gonna do that and
because you didn't know how they discouraged
you where are you going to get the money and
because you didn't know where I was going
to come they discouraged you I heard a beautiful
answer one time when a person was asked where
all the money was going to come from he said
wherever it is right now you see you can attract
it to you you can attract it to you in enormous
quantities now this is about all we have time
for today but remember there's no shortcuts
in life there really isn't however I have
found that you can make quantum leaps through
the transference of information and experience
and you know that's what this channel is all
about that's what these programs are all about
and that's specifically what the paradigm
shift is all about so I'm gonna ask you to
join me again in the next show and I'm gonna
dig into this a little deeper wherever you
see me I guarantee I'm talking about one of
two things I'm talking about money or paradigm
shifts this is Bob Proctor and I want to thank
