The Sixth Sense is the door to the temple of wisdom and the thirteenth step toward riches.

The Sixth Sense is the way the Infinite Intelligence communicates with your creative imagination, voluntarily, without any effort or demands from you.

This principle is the highest point of the philosophy.

It can be assimilated, understood, and applied only by first mastering the other twelve principles.

The sixth sense is that portion of the subconscious mind that has been referred to as the creative imagination.

It has also been referred to as the “receiving set” through which ideas, plans, and thoughts flash into the mind.

The flashes are sometimes called hunches or inspirations.

The Sixth Sense defies description!

It cannot be described to a person who has not mastered the other principles of this philosophy, because such a person has no knowledge, and no experience with which the sixth sense may be compared.

Understanding of the sixth sense comes only by meditation through mind development from within.

The sixth sense probably is the medium of contact between the finite mind of man and infinite intelligence.

It is a mixture of both the mental and the spiritual.

It is believed to be the point at which the mind of man contacts the universal mind.

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 author is not a believer in, nor an advocate of “miracles,” for the reason that he has enough knowledge of nature to understand that nature never deviates from her established laws.

Some of her laws are so incomprehensible that they produce what appear to be “miracles.”

The Sixth Sense comes as near to being a miracle as anything I have ever experienced.

It appears so, only because I do not understand the method by which this principle is operated.

This much the author does know…that there is a power, or a first cause, or an intelligence.

This power permeates every atom of matter, and embraces every unit of energy perceptible to man.

This infinite intelligence converts acorns into oak trees.

It causes water to flow downhill in response to the law of gravity, follows night with day, and winter with summer, each maintaining its proper place and relationship to the other.

This intelligence may, through the principles of this philosophy, be induced to aid in transmuting desires into concrete, or material form.

The author has this knowledge, because he has experimented with it and has experienced it.

If you have mastered each of the preceding principles, you are now prepared to accept, without being skeptical, the stupendous claims made here.

If you have not mastered the other principles, you must do so before you may determine, definitely, whether or not the claims made in this chapter are fact or fiction.

While I was passing through the age of “hero-worship” I found myself trying to imitate those whom I most admired.

I discovered that the element of faith, with which I endeavored to imitate my idols, gave me great capacity to do so quite successfully.

I have never entirely divested myself of this habit of hero-worship, although I have passed the age commonly given over so such.

My experience has taught me that the next best thing to being truly great, is to emulate the great, by feeling and action, as nearly as possible.

Long before I had ever written a line for publication, or endeavored to deliver a speech in public, I followed the habit of reshaping my own character, by trying to imitate the nine men whose lives and life-works had been most impressive to me.

These nine men were, Emerson, Paine, Edison, Darwin, Lincoln, Burbank, Napoleon, Ford and Carnegie.

Every night, over a long period of years, I held an imaginary council meeting with this group whom I called my “invisible counselors.”

Just before going to sleep at night, I would shut my eyes, and see, in my imagination, this group of men seated with me around my council table.

Here I had not only an opportunity to sit among those whom I considered to be great, but I actually dominated the group, by serving as the chairman.

I had a very definite purpose in indulging my imagination through these nightly meetings.

My purpose was to rebuild my own character so it would represent a composite of the characters of my imaginary counselors.
