- Hello there and
welcome, I'm Bob Proctor. I was doing doing a seminar recently that our Creative Director
happened to be in, Tommy Collier, he saw
me make a presentation, and he said, Bob, that
information is gold. He said, you've got to
put that on a video, and we can put it online,
share it with anyone and everyone anywhere in the world. He said it would change a lot of lives and it would solve an enormous
problem for a lot of people. So, here I am, and this
is the presentation. Now, there's a fair amount
of information here, so I would recommend that
you get a notepad and a pen, and you jot the notes down as we go along. You may want to watch this a few times, and let it really sink into your mind. It's very valuable information. You know, this year is
the start of 59 years that I'll be in this business. For 58 years I've been working
at studying one subject. Now, even if you're a little slow, you're going to learn a lot over 58 years, and the subject I've been studying was me. And as I know me, I know you better. Do you see, we are all the same. We're God's highest form of creation. We have a marvelous mind. We live in a physical
body, and we correspond with the material world. We can create the kind of life we want. We are God's highest form of creation. The only two sources of
reference that you have to go to to find anything about yourself both clearly indicate that. One's science, and the other is theology, and they both make that very, very clear. We are truly the highest form
of creation on the planet. All the other little
creatures on the planet are completely at home
in their environment. They blend in. You and I are the only
creature on the planet that's totally disoriented
in our environment, and that is because we've been given the mental faculties to
create our own environment. We truly can create the
kind of life we want. Now, unfortunately not
all this information that we're sharing we learn in school. We just don't learn it in school, and if we don't learn it at home, odds are pretty good we
don't learn it at all, and many people go
right through their life and never understand what
I'm going to explain to you. This is without question
valuable information. Now, I began to study this many years ago, and when I started to learn
about a subject, anxiety, that many, many people suffer
from, I came to the conclusion there's no need of a person
being in a state of anxiety. Now, there's all kinds of
people taking drugs today to ease this problem that
they're experiencing. I'm going to show you
that as a person starts to understand how their
marvelous mind operates they can eliminate anxiety
and replace it with something much more beautiful. You and I have the ability to do that. Now, the graph I'm going to show you, or the drawing I'm going to show you, I learned many, many years ago. And as I'll mention again,
it is without question the most valuable idea
I have ever learned. I'm going to talk to you about the mind, and about paradigms. See, paradigms are ideas
that are fixed in our mind and cause us to keep
operating the same way, and if we don't change the
paradigm nothing changes. So, let's look at your
mind and your paradigm. Now, when it comes to
this, not many people really understand it very well. You can go to psychiatrists,
psychologists, behavioral scientists,
and they will give you a lot of information, but
you may not understand what they're giving you. There was a doctor back around
1934 in San Antonio, Texas, and he was very involved
in the healing arts, and he was very involved in metaphysics, in anything beyond the physical. And he said, you know, one
of our great problems is we're treating symptoms all the time. We're treating effects. We're not going to the cause of problems. We always work from a
higher to a lower potential, from the mind to the body. The body is a physical
manifestation of the mind, and he made that very, very clear, and he said one of our great problems is no one's ever seen the mind. And yet, we operate
with images in our mind. So, when anybody talks about the mind, they don't get a picture. Now, many people get
a picture of the brain when they talk about
the mind, but the brain is not the mind anymore
than your fingernail is. The brain, as magnificent as it is, is an electronic switching station. As you think, you activate brain cells, alter the vibration your body or parts of your body may be in. Now, anxiety is a vibration, and it's not a very healthy one. It's a very destructive one. So, I think as we start to
understand some of the laws and understand how the mind works, we're way ahead of the game. So, I'm going to share
with you what a good doctor shared with me many, many years ago, and I have taught this
all over the world now for a long, long time. Some of the change that I've seen take place in people's
mind is mind-boggling. Their lives have been
altered like night and day as they start to understand the mind, starts how it, see how it operates. Now, this good doctor, Dr. Thurman Fleet, he said, no one's ever seen the mind, so I'm going to draw
a picture of the mind, and he made this drawing. Now, I will mention on many occasions, and have in the past,
this is the most valuable drawing I have ever seen. The large circle is going
to represent the mind, and the small circle
will represent the body. Now, we'll take the
mind and we'll divide it into two parts and we'll
say the top half is the conscious mind, the bottom
half is the subconscious mind and the little circle is the body. Now, it's like I said,
this is without question the most valuable idea I've ever learned. You see, what it does, it
brings order to your mind. So, instead of dealing
with just confusion, now you've got order. Now, I'm going to teach you something here that is very, very valuable. The conscious mind has
the ability to choose. The subconscious mind does
not have that ability, and whatever ideas operate in the mind are expressed through the body. The body is the instrument of the mind. Now, I can't get into this
in the depth that I want to, because the time doesn't
allow me to do that. We do teach a lot of this
in all of our programs, and if you find this of
interest you may want to look into some of the
programs that we do conduct, because they're very liberating, and they change people's lives. Now, there's the drawing
and I want you to imagine that there's a power flowing
into your consciousness. This power flows to and
through us and it never stops. Now, when the power flows
into our consciousness, we could call it thought
power if you choose, you can think anything you want. You can think anything you want. No one can cause you to think something you don't want to think. Viktor Frankl spent the war
years in a concentration camp. He was a Viennese psychiatrist. He wrote a marvelous book,
Man's Search for Meaning, and it was on logotherapy,
and he said regardless of the intellectual or physical
abuse he was subjected to, no one could cause him to think something he didn't want to think. Now, whatever thought
you think you turn over to your subconscious mind,
but the subconscious mind is programmed, and again,
I'm sorry we don't have the time to get into paradigms
the way we'd like to, but it is programmed. What we want to do is learn
how to control the flow of this energy. We want to learn how to control
the flow of thought energy and let it flow freely to and through us, improving everything
with which it connects. You see, we're really in
charge of our results. The results that we get
in our life can be altered without any difficulty. Now, I keep apologizing for not being able to go into this in the depth I want to, but as I give you this
concept I want you to pay very close attention,
because on a conscious level you have a choice. You see those two symbols. One's negative and one's positive. Now, if we just back this up a bit, there is the power flowing in. You can think anything you want. You can choose to think
of what you don't want, or you can choose to
think of what you do want. You can look at what's wrong with life, or you can look at what's right with it. You do have a choice. That power, you can build
it into anything you choose. Unfortunately, most people
stay in an ignorant state. They never really understand themself. Now, ignorance is simply not knowing. The opposite of ignorance
of course is knowledge. Knowledge is readily available to us. Libraries are full of knowledge. Seminars today just dispense
all kinds of knowledge. Some of it's very valuable,
some of it may not be. But there's a lot of
knowledge around about you, about what makes you tick and
why you live the way you live. Now, we have a choice and we
can choose whatever we want. You can choose to think of what's wrong or you can choose to
think of what's right. Why would a person choose
to worry and doubt? Well, if we back it up
the problem is ignorance. That is really the problem. They don't understand the situation. See, doubt and worry are
both psychic diseases. It's plugging into the
negative side of life. This power flows in. You can build anything out of it you want, and what do we do? We worry, why do we worry? Well, there's not enough
money to meet our needs, or the things might not
turn out the way we choose. We've got the ability to
choose anything we want. Now, when we build a negative idea, and that's what we're doing,
we're taking the power and building a negative idea, we take that and impress that negative idea
upon our subconscious mind. The subconscious is the emotional mind. So, we're getting emotionally involved with a negative idea. That sets up a vibration called fear. Fear is a negative emotion. The cause of it, the
primary cause is ignorance, but the root cause then is worry or doubt. Now, when that fear is expressed, and it must be expressed through the body. See, it comes in. It has no form. We build an idea, a negative
idea, and we impress it. That sets up fear, and
when it expresses it, it expresses itself in anxiety. People do not enjoy anxiety. It causes all kinds of problems. Anxiety is not expressed,
anxiety is suppressed. It's suppressed. What happens when we suppress anxiety, when we bottle that energy up inside? It turns into depression,
that's what happens. So, do you see, anxiety is
the cause of depression, but it's not the primary,
it's not the initial cause. The initial cause of course is ignorance, and then we go to worry
and doubt, then to fear, anxiety, suppress the anxiety,
and it turns into depression. That depression turns into disease. That's a body that's not at ease. We get uptight. We suppress negative energy. The body starts to break down. Disease, and then it
moves to disintegration. Now, pay attention to that side, because the root cause of it is ignorance. As you study this with us, you're going to eliminate that ignorance,
and we're going to eliminate the ignorance with knowledge. So, let's go back now. Faith based on understanding
is the key to freedom. Let's suppose a person's
locked into this side of life. They seem to worry about
everything and anything. They're suffering from anxiety. They suffer, they suffer
from depression, why? It's because of the
choosing the wrong thoughts and it's caused by ignorance. They just don't simply understand. Faith based on understanding
is truly the key to freedom. You know, a wise king
many years ago, Solomon, he said in all you're
getting, get understanding. How do we get that? We get it by moving over
onto the other side. We move over to the other side. Understanding is the
opposite of doubt and worry. Now, there's only one
way to get understanding. There is no other way,
and that's through study. You study this video. Go over it and over it and over it, and you'll start to see this is really an answer to an enormous problem, not just one problem, many problems. Study. What do we want to understand? Well, you have those two symbols, the negative and the positive. That represents the law of polarity. Polarity is the law that decrees
everything has an opposite. There's no up without a
down, no hot without a cold. So, you see in every
negative there is a positive, but we must understand it's there, or we'll never even look for it. When we understand it's there,
then we're away to the races. But the only way to get
to it is through study. Understanding leads to the
opposite of fear which is faith. Now, here's a strange thing. Both fear and faith demand that we believe in something that we cannot see. Both fear and faith demand that we believe in something that we cannot see. Think of it for a moment. What did fear do? Fear manifests in anxiety. What's faith manifest in? Well-being, well-being. You're seeing a person
that's very relaxed. They're very cool. They're happy, they're healthy. There's something wonderful in their life, and it starts with their own thinking. You see, all down through
history all the great leaders have been in complete unanimous
agreement on one point, we become what we think about. Well, why would a person choose to stay over on that ignorant side? That's the why, because they're ignorant. They don't know. You see, when I was a
little child I was raised to believe that people that
were rude were ignorant. Well, people that were
rude may be ignorant, but being rude and being ignorant
are two different things. They'd say they're just so ignorant, no. They're rude. Everyone's ignorant, everyone is ignorant. No one knows everything. All the knowledge there
ever was or ever will be is available to us. But we're going to have
to study to get it. And the beautiful part about this, when you eliminate the
ignorance, you get understanding. The understanding leads to faith, and faith leads to well-being. Now, where the anxiety is suppressed, well-being is expressed. Do you see, it's almost a
polar opposite with everything. In fact, it is the polar opposite . The expression turns to acceleration, and that is because we're at ease. Do you see, the at ease is
the polar opposite to disease. The body's at ease. It's vibrating in perfect harmony with the laws of the universe. This is such a phenomenal subject, and it's one that anyone can study and everyone should study. Then that turns to creation. Remember the other side
turns to disintegration. People just break down, break
down when they're in disease. When they're at ease, they get stronger. It's creation. Now, we have choice. We can go with that,
or we can go with that. But it is our choice. Which side are we going to lock into? I think this is the side that
we really want to understand. I think you do, and I think I do. And you know, I want to
encourage you to watch this video at least 100 times. Get your friends to watch it. Anyone you see suffering from anxiety, get them to watch it. Rather than run to the drug store, get them to run to their
own marvelous mind. Get them to get into studying
something really worthwhile. Our company has been
