CHAPTER 14: The Sixth Sense
My fifth baby was born at the break of dawn on the first day of summer. As
the day wore on, I could feel him getting warmer and warmer, till he felt quite
hot to my touch. The nurses thought I was worrying over nothing.
He was a big baby, over 12 lbs., but the nurses kept him wrapped in a warm
blanket as if he were 5 lbs. I unwrapped him every chance I got, but would
wrap him up quickly every time a nurse came by, because I knew I would get
in trouble with them if they knew I was unwrapping him.
Late in the afternoon, someone took his temperature -- and next thing we
knew we were in an ambulance, enroute for the city an hour away. They
thought he had sepsis, or blood poisoning from aspirating amniotic fluid. They
put him in the NICU, where he was poked and prodded and put on an IV. He
wasn't allowed to breastfeed again till he was three days old.
The tests came back negative and they proclaimed him a healthy baby boy.
Their conclusion? He was such a big baby that he was too well padded.
Newborns do not sweat, and he had no way of releasing his excess body
heat, so his temperature soared.  
Fast forward nine years to the birth of my youngest. He was also big, over
9 lbs. A month later they discovered he weighed a whole pound less than he
did at birth. That sent them into a tailspin, and we were subjected to regular
visits from the public health nurses, who came to our home and weighed and
measured him. For seven months they invaded our privacy and made me feel
like a second rate mother. Why? Because my perfectly healthy baby boy did
not gain weight as quickly as they thought he should. They wanted to stick
him with the label "Failure to Thrive", but they couldn't because he was
developing very well in every way except that he gained only a few ounces
a week.
I knew there was nothing wrong with him, just as I knew his older brother
just needed to cool off! WHY do nurses and doctors think their medical
education is everything, and mother's instinct is nothing??
As I relate these stories, I wonder how many other times in my life I have
lost myself as I allow the "experts" to dictate to how I should think and act.
We live in a time when there are far too many "experts" out there, and many
of them are spouting head knowledge or theory, and have no experience of
their own to draw upon. It's time to get to know ourselves by quieting the
chatter in our minds and learning HOW to think, not WHAT to think. We need
to learn from those who have gone before us and are currently doing what
we want to be doing. The voice of experience trumps the voice of theory or
education.
Thank you, Michael and Linda and our other awesome mentors in Mentoring
For Free, for being our voice of experience!

Our mind is sometimes a pain the butt. I know, I know, it’s where we “live”, but our mind is always trying to get in the way. It’s always trying to control and filter everything. And when it does that we miss out on so much. Instead of just letting it happen, our mind thinks it knows best and really doesn't let us experience all that we should.
Take our normal 5 senses for example. Sight, Sound, Taste, Smell, Touch. We tend to take them for granted until we really focus on one of them. We go about our day seeing what we see, smelling what we smell, and tasting what we taste. But on rare occasions we focus on something beautiful that takes our breath away. We smell something wonderful that makes us sigh. Or we taste something heavenly that comforts and satisfies us. We touch that someone special in our lives and the electricity flows and we can’t get enough.
That’s when we’re truly using our senses. And when we do that, everything is heightened. Everything is focused. We’re in that moment. We’ve let everything else go and we’re in the NOW.
The other senses are not at all like our Sixth Sense. Our Sixth Sense is only heightened when we take the time to let everything else go. When we trust the feelings we have. It’s unique because it’s not something we can use any of our other senses with. It’s a feeling, a knowing. The only way we can get to that place is by being in the NOW. If we let our conscious mind try to get us there, it only gets in the way. Thinking about the past, the future, the dog or whatever.
If we try to focus on it, we miss it. We can’t concentrate on it or we miss it. The problem about this is that we as humans tend to discount the things we can’t control. We tend to disbelieve the things we can’t explain. So we ignore them. We let them go. But the fallacy in that thought process is that when we do that, we miss out on so much.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that I believe our Sixth Sense is a way to communicate with God or the Universe, or whatever that higher power is that you believe in. I believe that everything we need. Every answer we seek. Every path we follow can be guided by the messages and feelings emanating from our Sixth Sense. It’s our choice to follow them. It’s our choice to listen to them.
And really, that’s the meat and potatoes of our whole life. The choices we make. Every one of you on this call today or who is reading this has a choice. You can choose to start living your destiny, or you can choose to continue to struggle. Deep down you know the way. It’s already been laid out for you. It’s your choice whether you decide to listen.
Much love and gratitude,
David Haines

Chaper 14 - The Sixth Sense
Hill writes “This chapter on the sixth sense was included, because this book
is designed for the purpose of presenting a complete philosophy
by which individuals may unerringly guide themselves in attaining
whatever they ask of life. The starting point of all achievement is
desire.  The finishing point is that brand of KNOWLEDGE which
leads to understanding - understanding of self, understanding
of others, understanding of the laws of Nature, recognition and
understanding of HAPPINESS.
We have all come to this “mental cleanse” process because we
were looking for help in our Network Marketing Business.  Some
of us were told “We need the Mental Cleanse more than we need
oxygen.”  With that we began the process of reading “Think & Grow
Rich” each week and submitting our lessons.
We had a desire. For most, if not all, that desire was to make a
certain amount of money.  In order to make this money and build
our business we used “Success in 10 Steps” as our lead to find people
to talk to who could eventually become partners with us in our business.
This became our “Agenda”.
As we went through the process we learned that we had to get rid of
the “Agenda” and we truly wanted to help these people whether they
ever became partners or not.  Getting rid of “Agenda” is a huge step
because it is something we don’t necessarily recognize in ourselves.
We learn to love ourselves so that we can learn to love others.  This takes
getting to know ourselves by getting rid of the fears we have allowed others
and circumstances to influence us by and by what we allowed our
subconscious mind to accept.
We are now ready to accept the fact that we are responsible for what
happens in our lives.  We live in the “Now”.  We don’t live in the past
and we don’t dwell in the future.    We have opportunities made available
to us all the time.
We are by this time ready and have the confidence in ourselves to be
able to accept the value of the sixth sense with its “flashes, hunches
or inspirations” and trust in it.
We are ready to understand and accept happiness.   It is not money. 
It is not material things.  It is not selfish.  It is confidence in helping,
giving and sharing with a caring attitude.
Happiness is a state of mind.

Chapter 14--The Sixth Sense
Sometimes you know that you know that you know.  Even if it doesn’t make sense.
Throughout our lifetimes there are those divine appointments that occur for which there is no human explanation.   It’s not pure luck nor is it simply an accident.
I believe it’s by Divine Design. 
Some call it Infinite Intelligence or Higher Power.
I prefer to call it God. 
In His Infinite Wisdom, God placed within Man the ability to connect through the power of the Sixth Sense.  It wasn’t enough that He gave us Ears to listen, Eyes to see, Hands to Touch, Tongues to Taste, and Nostrils to Breathe.  He loved us so much that He gave us the amazing ability to hear His voice, sometimes at the most unexpected times or places.
Sometimes we don’t even realize that He is working until much later on.
Such was the case when I met my husband thirty-one years ago.  We had a mutual friend who set us up on a blind date despite our scores of reasons why we were perfectly content in our individual and single lives.  Vicki was persistent and we both finally agreed to let her “fix us up.”
I can still see Ray walking down the concrete path to my house; but never in a million years would I have guessed that inside of four months, we’d be walking down a wedding aisle.
You see, I knew that I knew that I knew within a few weeks that God was at work in my life in a pretty big way. 
We know that thoughts are things.  Across hundreds and hundreds of miles, two people who had somewhat different pasts, yet the exact same crystal clear desire for their future, were brought together.  A perfect Love Triangle was being formed between two imperfect humans and their Heavenly Father.
We witness the miracle of the Sixth Sense in the ordinary daily activities of life, often attributing it to being at the right place at the right time.  But when we peer into the rear view mirrors of our lives, we can more clearly see how God’s hand has led us through the ups and downs of life. 
I am forever grateful for the connection that I have with the One who created me. 
And for those uncomfortable times when I can’t see His hand at work, then I know I can trust His heart.

The SIXTH SENSE is that portion of the subconscious mind which 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.”
This past month has been the start of a major career transition in my life, the likes of which would have resulted in much doom and gloom and feelings of shame and failure just a few years ago. But, because of my committed participation in 30 Day Mental Cleanse and my commitment to actively learning and practicing the Law of Attraction,  I am seeing this transition as a major blessing and an opportunity to truly step into and follow my bliss by welcoming and acting on my sixth sense. I want to share with all of you what happened, what I did about it, and how I am progressing toward my dream life by listening to and following my sixth sense.
On Oct. 29th, 2012, I received a call from a social working informing me that two of my four foster care clients where moving out of my home on Oct. 31st; two days notice. What was interesting was the fact that just a week earlier I was informed that my other two client would be leaving as well, most likely by the end of November. Over the past 3.5 years I have come to rely exclusively on the money from my foster care business to easily pay my bills, and I have not saved a dime.  Panic, right? No, and here is why…
I wanted to move out of foster care, and I had created a 5 years plan to do so. What I had not anticipated was the strength of my positive emotions around moving out of foster care. My emotions and anticipated where so strong that "Infinite Intelligence" tuned into those strong, positive emotions and gave me exactly what I wanted, out. So, went from a five year plan to a 30 day plan. Wow!
The key difference between how I used to react in situations like this (my income taking the glide angle of a brick), and how I have now been taking Action, is that I made a decision to listen to my sixth sense, or what I call "the still, small voice". I was encouraged by a friend to participate in a 21 Day Mediation Challenge on Creating Abundance by Deepak Chopra. The timing could not have been more perfect, and I did it… All 21 days in a row.  Another Wow!
Because, I got focused on my sixth sense and decided to listen and take action, I have found a good job, I've found a wonderful opportunity to expand on and do more of what I am really good at (helping business owners follow their bliss and thrive), and I have opened several doors to securing living arrangements for my son and I.  There is much more unfolding every day, and I am in gleeful anticipation of the amazing possibilities.
The big lesson learns this week for me has been: Learn to hear and take action on your sixth sense, and abundance and prosperity will poor into your life like a never ending waterfall.
To Your Peace and Prosperity,
David H. Paul
