Your Psyche Shapes Your WorldNapoleon Hill called the thirteenth and final step of
Think and Grow Rich, “The Sixth Sense,” adding: “This principle is the apex of the philosophy.” Time has validated the success master’s insight.
In
The Sixth Sense, Mitch Horowitz, one of today’s most literate voices of self-help, explores the practical uses of this ultimate step in Hill’s philosophy, including how:
- You broadcast your thoughts and self-image to others—and both are changeable.
- ESP, telepathy, and precognition are facts demonstrated by replicable and recent lab data. “Mental telepathy is a reality,” Hill wrote.
- Sexual desire can be placed in service of your creative efforts and strivings.
- Getting free from predatory and negative people has enormous implications for your psyche and its powers.
- You can seek out and cultivate a higher version of your present persona.
- What you think about vividly and frequently selects aspects of your world.
- You are freer than you know from society’s timelines and attitudes about age.
- You can merge with a “cosmic flow” and allow it to aid your success.
- Extra-physical impressions are as real as the air you breathe—hence, you must carefully cultivate your environment and relationships.
- Enthusiasm is vital to accessing imagination, intuition, and insight.
- Andrew Carnegie wrote his own conclusions about wealth-gathering—learn from them.
- Precognition and retrocausality—the subject of recent academic studies and meta-analyses—demonstrate that future actions impact current performance.
- We experience daily moments of relaxation that function as “prime time” for intuition, autosuggestion, and ESP-related activity.
“Your psyche,” Mitch writes, “participates in a network of events, at once infinite and simultaneous, that occupy different intersections or dimensions of time and occur beyond perceptions of linearity.” These are evidence-based truths. Mitch demonstrates how to use them.

Summary
Napoleon Hill called the thirteenth and final step of Think and Grow Rich, “The Sixth Sense,” adding: “This principle is the apex of the philosophy.”
Time has validated the success master’s insight.
In The Sixth Sense,Mitch Horowitz, one of today’s most literate voices of self-help, explores the practical uses of this culminating step in Hill’s philosophy, including how:
- Your brain is a “receiving station” sensitive to influences all around you.
- ESP, telepathy, and precognition are facts demonstrated by replicable and recent lab data. “Mental telepathy is a reality,” Hill wrote, with emphasis in the original. He was right.
- Due to your receptivity to extra-physical impressions, you must carefully cultivate environment, relationships, and colleagues.
- Your psyche functions like any physical organ—it is subject to fatigue, exhaustion, and overuse, just as it performs better under conditions of health, vitality, and adequate rest.
- You must beware of factors that cloud your mind’s functions, such as intoxication, boredom, poor physical habits, and negative emotions.
- Enthusiasm is a vital property in accessing imagination, intuition, and insight.
- By using all the lessons in Think and Grow Rich, it is possible to cultivate a sixth sense through which hunches and flashes of insight reach you.
- Pay attention to enthusiasms and forebodings. This may be the sixth sense communicating.
- You can trust intuitions and insights when they follow dedicated study and effort. These are not fickle or errant notions but possibly the subconscious and sixth sense breaking through.
- Precognition and retrocausality—the subject of recent academic studies and meta-analyses—demonstrate that future actions can improve current performance.
- An imaginary council, as described in Hill’s final step, can augment—but not replace—the Master Mind principle.
- We experience daily moments that are “prime time” for intuition, autosuggestion, and ESP-related activity. Learn how to cultivate them.
