Napoleon Hill says the Sixth Sense IS Creative Imagination, which IS the “receiving set” through which inspiration and hunches come to us.
Last April I had a breakthrough when I understood that the Real Me had been hiding deep within, afraid to come out for fear of what others could do to me. I did open the door at that time. Yet the feeling persisted that part of the Real Me was still hiding in a chamber of safety deep within, watching and waiting until she felt it was safe to emerge.
Tonight the long awaited flash of insight came. It is my Creative Imagination that has been held captive all this time.
What is the answer?
SELF TALK!
No situation is hopeless. I don’t even HAVE to know WHY or WHAT is holding me back. As a Green Personality, I want to sit down and figure it all out… but I’ve DONE that, many times in the past year, to no avail.
Self talk is a marvellous tool we have at our fingertips. In fact, Hill says it is the ONLY principle through which character is built. VOLUNTARY REBIRTH, he says. I like that word “voluntary”. It means taking action, which is always a challenge for me, but such a blessing when I do.
This chapter ends with a brief intro to the next chapter. Hill says the “Six Ghosts of Fear” are nothing but ghosts because they exist only in one’s mind. And that they can be as dangerous as if they lived and walked around in physical bodies because we believe they are real.
And sandwiched between those two statements is a tiny phrase that is KEY for me…
Those Ghosts are creations of uncontrolled imagination!!
My Creative Imagination has not only been held captive by me in a little prison within me… it is also cowering in fear. Well, no more! My Creative Imagination is my FRIEND, and key to my future and my success. She isn’t under my control in that prison cell… she’s held there against her will, and of no use to me at all. It’s time to unlock that prison door with my self talk, and set her free!

P.S. Hill says the next best thing to being truly great is to emulate the great, by feeling and action, as nearly as possible. The longer I am in Mentoring For Free, the more I WANT to emulate mentors such as Michael Dlouhy, Don Standard, Sarah Thompson, and Judi Sheehan… by sticking close to the MFF Recipe and staying close to the fire. I thank you all, from the bottom of my heart.
