You know, I went through
how the conscious mind works,
how the subconscious and how
the body is an expression
of the mind.
And as you go through
that, if you go through it
a few times, you're going
to see that's exactly
what happens.
Now, I want you to think of this for a moment,
when you impress an idea
upon your subconscious mind,
that alters the vibration
of this instrument
we call our body.
You see, our body is
a molecular structure,
really what it is.
It's a mass of energy in a
very high speed of vibration.
Now, we invented a word
to describe our conscious
awareness of our vibration
and that word is feeling.
If you ask a person, "How are you today?"
They'll say, "Oh, I'm feeling fine," or,
"I don't feel that good," "I feel great."
You never hear a person say,
"I'm consciously aware of
"being emotionally involved
with a negative idea
"so therefore I've moved
into a negative vibration."
But that's exactly what happens.
So, you see, as we start
to understand this and we
become aware that we're
not feeling too good,
we can change it.
It takes a little training,
but you can do it.
We are really in charge of how we feel.
Now, we let other people
upset us, but we don't have to
let other people upset us.
We don't need to react
to them, we can respond,
we can listen to what
they're saying and then say,
"Well, you're entitled to your opinion,
"but that's just not what I'm like."
And we can hold our own idea of ourself.
You see, it's important that
we grasp how the mind works
and that we understand the
relationship of the body
to the mind and the mind to the body.
Now it's our results
that we want to change.
Now our results could be in our physical
body, it may want to be,
you may want to cast off a few pounds,
you may want to put on a couple of pounds.
You may want to have a
little higher energy.
See, all the energy there
ever was or ever will be is
100% evenly present in all
places at the same time.
Everything's energy.
Do you know, you'll hear people say,
"Where does he get all the energy?" Or,
"where does she get all the--"
Nobody gets energy,
everybody releases energy.
Desire is the triggering
mechanism that woo,
let's the energy flow.
Now, let's go back and
have a quick review.
Here you've got the
little stick person here.
There you've got the
conscious mind and remember,
you have the sensory
factors hooked up to the
conscious mind.
And then you have the
subconscious mind and then
you have the body.
Now, the conscious mind has
the ability to choose thoughts.
Those thoughts turn into pictures.
We turn the pictures over
to the subconscious mind
and then the subconscious
mind expresses the action.
Now, what is the problem?
Remember we said the
subconscious mind had no
ability to reject?
We said the subconscious
mind cannot differentiate
between what's real and what's imagine.
How did we arrive on the scene?
I'll tell you, when you
arrived on the scene,
you did not have any conscious
facilities developed.
The sensory factors
weren't even developed.
This is how you arrived.
That's called the little
life, that's the baby.
No conscious mind.
So there's the subconscious
mind, it's wide open,
you can put anything in it.
Do you see, your subconscious
mind is programmed
genetically, that's why we
look like our relatives,
it's built right into the genes at birth,
but then we're programmed environmentally.
Carl Menninger from the
Menninger Foundation in Topeka
one time said, "Environment
is more important than
"heredity."
Why do you think you speak
the language you speak?
You speak that language
because you were surrounded
by people that speak that
language in your little life.
And the language just went right
into the subconscious mind.
If you grew up in a
home that was bilingual,
you learned both languages.
I had an associate over in
(mumbles), had a little boy,
he spoke four languages
at four years of age.
And you'd look at that
and you'd think, "My gosh"
No no, the baby was programmed.
Why do you like the food you like?
It's programming, that's right.
Now, let's stop and think
about the environment
we were raised in.
Here's the baby and look it,
the ideas and the thoughts
and the concepts that are
going on around that baby
are going right in to that
baby's subconscious mind.
Now, through repetition,
over and over and over again.
And remember, the baby's
getting it all day every day
all week, every week,
all month, every month,
all year and this goes on
for four or five years.
And the baby reaches the
age of four or five where
they can start to think
that baby's programmed.
That baby is programmed to
think like the people it
had been surrounded by.
If the people that
surrounded that baby had gone
right through school, that
baby will probably grow up
and go right through school.
If the people that were
surrounding that baby always
lived in hard times, never had any money,
always in debt, that's
probably how that baby's going
to grow up.
Now, this is bizarre, but
this is how it happens.
It's how it happened for me.
I was raised during a depression.
We didn't have any money.
There was always talk about no money,
you should be satisfied
with what you've got.
Well that's not true, you
should never be satisfied
with what you've got.
You should be happy with what you've got,
dissatisfaction is
actually a creative state.
So here we have, now, a baby
that has been programmed.
Now, let's take and think for a moment.
What happens when that baby
starts to think for itself?
Now think of this, the paradigm
controls the vibration,
the vibration controls
the action which produces
the result.
Now here we go, here you've
got the baby with the paradigm
and the conscious
facilities have developed.
They have the ability to
think, there's a power flowing
into them, what are they going to think?
They're going to think
thoughts that are in harmony
with that paradigm.
That's right.
We've been raised to believe
we go to work to earn money.
Do you know that working
is the very worst way
to earn money?
That's right.
You should go to work for
satisfaction, not for money.
You provide service for money.
You can earn money while you're sleeping.
In fact, we have programs
where we teach people to
actually earn more money
while they're sleeping than
they'll ever need to
use while they're awake.
You say, "Well that's a pipe dream."
No, no, that's a paradigm
that causes you to think
that's a pipe dream.
There's people doing that
that are no where near
as bright as you.
But here we are now, we've got the person,
they've been programmed in
their little life genetically,
and environmentally.
That paradigm is nothing
but a multitude of habits.
A habit is an idea that's
been programmed into the
subconscious mind over
and over and over again.
Now the paradigm is literally
controlling the behavior.
Consciously you can think of one thing,
but subconsciously the other
idea'll be controlling you.
See, we can sit down and
we can read these self-help
books, we can listen to
the recordings, we say
"Yeah, I can do that, that
makes sense, that's logical."
But then we can't do it. Why?
Now, think of this for a moment,
I want you to imagine that
you're going to accept an
idea right now to turn your
annual income to a monthly income.
You say, "Well I'd like
that," but will you do it?
Probably not.
Your paradigm will stop you.
See, your paradigm literally
controls the results.
Now, let's think of how
the paradigm was formed.
The paradigm was formed
through repetition.
The ideas being planted
in your subconscious mind.
Now understand your paradigm
dictates your logic.
Your paradigm controls
how you utilize your time.
Your paradigm controls your
perception of situations.
Your paradigm controls your effectiveness.
Your paradigm controls the
amount of money you earn.
If you want to change your life,
you must change your paradigm.
Do you see, to most people
it's illogical that they
could take and turn
their annual income to a
monthly income.
But if you follow our teachings
we'll show you exactly
how to do that.
We'll show you how to
accomplish anything you want to
accomplish because what we're
focused on is showing you
how to change the paradigm.
When the paradigm is
changed, your life changes.
It's a beautiful concept.
It's an absolutely phenomenal concept.
Now you know why you're getting
the results you're getting.
It has nothing not do with your intellect.
Your intellect, you can
figure out how to do things.
That doesn't mean you're going to do them.
You'll hear people say, "I believe that,"
but their behavior would
indicate they've never even
heard of it, why?
We believe something on a conscious level,
on a subconscious level
the paradigm believes
something else.
There's a word called praxis.
Praxis is the integration
of belief with behavior.
We've got to take the beliefs
that we have consciously,
that we determine by thinking
and plant them in the place
of the old belief.
See, I used to believe
that I couldn't do anything
better than what I was doing.
I felt fortunate that I
was on the fire department.
The idea of building a
company that operated all
around the world - furthest
thing from my mind.
But you know something?
As I changed my paradigm,
my whole world changed.
That's what we do, that's
what it's all about.
You've got change your
paradigm if you want to change
your life.
You can study all you
want, if you don't gain an
understanding how to alter that program,
and that's what the
paradigm is, it's a program,
it's a multitude of concepts
that are fixed in your
subconscious mind that
literally control your behavior.
It's a beautiful concept to understand.
It's a terrible one if
you don't understand it.
Because it literally controls your life.
Why do you think most people
go right through their
life and keep getting the
same results year after year
after year?
Well, it's just the way it is.
And they don't know.
We should be taught this
in school, but we're not.
How is the paradigm formed?
Through the repetition of information.
How is the paradigm changed?
Repetition of information.
Now let's suppose you're
having a difficult time
with money.
You find that you've got more
going out than coming in.
You've got to change
your concept about money.
How do you do that?
Through the repetition of an idea.
That's where affirmations comes in.
I'll give you one I've
been using for years.
I am so happy and grateful
now that money comes to me
in increasing quantities
through multiple sources
on a continuous basis.
I am so happy and grateful
now that money comes to me
in increasing quantities
through multiple sources
on a continuous basis.
You don't just say that once or twice,
you've got to repeat that
maybe 1,000 times a day
every day for maybe 90 days.
And you'll start to change
your whole concept about money.
Wealthy people all have
multiple sources of income.
Now I'm going to tell
you what happened to me.
I drove around with a battery
operated record player
and a long playing record
and I played it over and over
again every day for
probably a couple of years.
This was so totally
illogical, it was behavior
everybody thought I was losing it.
And I'm reading the same book every day,
Think And Grow Rich.
As a matter of fact, I'm
still reading the same book.
And it was the repetition
of Earl Nightengale's information
and the book that changed the paradigm.
I didn't know what I was doing,
I didn't understand what
I was doing, but I did it.
Do you know I had a man
come up to me in the Waldorf
Hotel in New York, Waldorf Astoria.
At the end of a three
day program and he said,
"Bob, I really want to
thank you for what you've
"just given to me."
He said, "For the first time
in my life I've understood
how I accomplished what I did."
I said, "What did you do?"
He said, "I won the gold
medal in the decathlon
in the Olympics in
Melbourne Australia in 1957."
That's right.
Milt Campbell.
And he said, "I never
understood how I did it."
He said, "The next time
you run a seminar I want to
bring my boys," and he did.
Milt and I became great friends.
In fact, Milt has a key to our house,
he can come stay there anytime he wants.
I live in Toronto, he's in New Jersey.
But here was the top athlete in the world,
very best athlete in the
world, he didn't understood
how he got there.
Most people that are very
accomplished cannot tell you
why they are.
That's why they are.
They've rewritten the program,
they've changed the paradigm.
They might not have
understood how they did it,
but they did it.
That's what our company is all about.
We teach people how to change paradigms.
I want to thank you for watching this.
But I'm going to ask you to
share it with other people.
Share it with them.
Say, "Come and watch this."
Start a rapport, build
a rapport with people.
It's a great way to live.
And this is great
information to understand.
Thanks for listening, it's Bob Proctor,
I enjoy sharing it with you.
