This is a direct quote from a "lesson" that my good friend John-Paul Plouffe posted in our Think And Grow Rich Lessons forum :
Chapter 14 : The Sixth Sense (Think And Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill)
Napoleon Hill intimately describes how he developed his own “sixth sense” through the use of his CREATIVE IMAGINATION. The Method he chose to do this was through the vehicle of his IMAGINARY nightly meetings with his chosen Cabinet Members, otherwise called his “Invisible Counselors”. This practice helped him to conceive idea’s and impress upon his mind and heart those attributes that he DESIRED in his own Character Traits. He was “influencing his own mind” in a powerful way, which again developed his sixth sense.
Paul McCartney once described how the song “Yesterday” was written. It is fascinating, and is the best example that I have heard of to illustrate the use of this ability. He claimed that while The Beatles were touring in Paris, one early morning, "while still in that 'dream state', being half awake/half asleep”, he tumbled out of bed and this tune was in his head. He thought he had heard this familiar song somewhere before, but just could figure out where or when. He played the melody to different people in the music industry to make sure he wasn't stealing it. The working title was "Scrambled Eggs" until Paul could figure out lyrics. McCartney said the breakthrough with the lyrics came during a trip to Portugal in May 1965:
"I remember mulling over the tune 'Yesterday', and suddenly getting these little one-word openings to the verse. I started to develop the idea ... da-da da, yes-ter-day, sud-den-ly, fun-il-ly, mer-il-ly and Yes-ter-day, that's good. All my troubles seemed so far away. It's easy to rhyme those a's: say, nay, today, away, play, stay, there's a lot of rhymes and those fall in quite easily, so I gradually pieced it together from that journey. Sud-den-ly, and 'b' again, another easy rhyme: e, me, tree, flea, we, and I had the basis of it."
“Yesterday” is the most covered pop song of all time, with over 3,000 versions recorded according to The Guinness Book Of World Records. For years, it was also the song with the most radio plays. Still, at any given time, some version of "Yesterday" is probably being broadcast somewhere.
Did McCartney tap into what is called the “Collective Unconscious” or was he inspired by God, otherwise known as “Infinite Intelligence” by Hill? Who among us does not have a sense of this song written upon their own heart when listening to it?
Hill noted that “Being an earnest student of psychology, I knew, of course, that all men have become what they are, because of their DOMINATING THOUGHTS AND DESIRES. 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.”
The sixth sense can be described as the sense through which your infinite intelligence may and will communicate. This principle is the apex of the philosophy. It can be assimilated, understood, and applied only by first mastering the other 12 principles. The sixth sense is that function of the subconscious mind that has been referred to as the CREATIVE IMAGINATION. It’s also been referred to as the receiving set through which ideas flash into the mind, sometimes called hunches or inspirations.
The sixth sense 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 to serve as points of reference. The sixth sense is not something one can take off and put on at will. The ability to use this great power comes slowly through application of the other principles we’ve outlined. So begin to develop it now by applying the principles we’ve talked about here.
Hill also said to Remember this: Man can create nothing that he does not first conceive in the form of an idea, a desire. Keep fear out of your mind. Concentrate on the mental picture of yourself achieving your desire. Cut yourself away from the average, from the mediocre, and chart your course on the dream in your heart. These 13 principles will never let you down. You need only remember and use them.
“Through some strange and powerful principle of mental chemistry, nature wraps up in the impulse [of a] strong desire that something which recognizes no such word as impossible and accepts no such reality as failure.” Napoleon Hill
