Snippets From 6 Minutes to Success – How do We Work?
On the blog at the moment, I am doing a sequence of content taken directly from the Proctor Gallagher Institute’s 6 Minutes To Success program. Today’s post concerns the topics of How Do We Work and includes the lessons entitled ‘The Stick Person’ and ‘Spiritual vs Physical’. Both foundational topics in the search for understanding who we are and how do we work.
I have covered the Stick Person before, many times, as it provides the image our mind needs in order to understand how do we work as a mind and body. Both in harmony with each other and in harmony with the Universe. We are spiritual beings who live in a physical body. Our mind drives the body by sending electrical signals through the brain. Nothing can happen physically unless it has first been conceived mentally.
These next two lessons will help you to understand how do we work. How the spiritual mind works with the physical body and why the spiritual is so much more powerful than the physical.

6 Minutes to Success #156 – The Stick Person
See a 1 minute reel of this idea here.
“Hello there and welcome to 6 Minutes to Success.
This particular lesson maybe a little longer than most of them, but I’m going to share with you what I consider the most valuable idea I have ever learnt.
Do you know, for many years I was studying, and I was trying to figure out how I did things, and why things happened. And I was always confused. I couldn’t figure it out. I would have a piece here and another piece there, but it was like a puzzle, and I could never get them to come together. In other words, there was no order in my mind.
Then I found out that we think in pictures.
Think of your front door for a moment. Boom! A picture of your front door comes on the screen of your mind. Think of your stove in the kitchen. Bang, like that you have a picture of your stove. Think of your automobile. You get another picture.
You see, when I say these words, I am activating cells in your brain. I am setting up a vibration. The vibration is really a light message. You’re hearing sense picks it up and it goes firing down a nerve passageway and it strikes a group of cells in your brain and the images that are in those cells, and wham, the images flash on the screen of your mind.
Think of your kitchen. Now the picture of your kitchen comes on the screen of the mind. Go to the inside of your car. Do you see how this happens? Now think of your mind… Nothing, no picture.
You see, that is one of the great problems we have. We have no image of the mind. So when we talk about changing the mind and we do not have an image, we get very confused. And when we get confused, we either turn on the television or think about something else.
Well, I’m gonna give you an image of the mind to explain how do we work
Back in 1934, Dr Thurman Fleet in San Antonio, Texas realised that we had a problem. He was very involved in the healing arts and he said,
“We are just treating symptoms, we are not treating the cause of problems at all.”
And he said,
“If we’re going to have any health, we’re going to have to have holistic health.”
In other words, we have to treat all parts of the personality. And he said,
“Since no one has ever seen the mind, I am going to make a picture of the mind.”
I want you to look here. I call this a magical graphic. A picture of two circles. You can see a picture of the mind and the body. Now at first when you look at it is rather cute. A couple of circles. But you know, this is going to turn from cute into something that is absolutely marvellous for you.
This changed everything in my life.
I want to ask you to let your head represent your mind and everything from the neck down represent the body. Now, of course, that’s not the way it is. The mind is movement. The mind is in your fingernails. A lot of people, when they think of the mind, what they think of is the brain. But your brain is just electronic switching station. That is really what it is. As you activate brain cells, you set up a vibration in the various parts of your body.
Do you know that your brain will not think but you think with your brain?
To explain that better, I have often mentioned that it’s reported that we’ve got Albert Einstein’s brain in a jar somewhere in New Jersey. But it’s not doing anybody any good because Alberts not with it. So do you see, your brain is part of your mind, but so is your kneecap or your toe. Or your shoulder. Your body is the physical manifestation of mind.
So you take a look at this now. You will see that the mind is divided into two parts. First, I have a horizontal line right across the centre of my head. I see that the top half of my head as being the conscious mind, and everything on the bottom half of that large circle being the subconscious mind.
Now, the conscious mind and the subconscious mind operate totally different. The conscious mind can accept or reject anything that comes along to it. You are hearing me right now. You can reject what I’m saying. Or you can say, yes, that sounds good, I’ll accept this. You see, the conscious mind is our thinking mind, and we can think anything we want.
Archibald Macleish, a Pulitzer Prize winning playwright and a play called Secret to Freedom, had one of his characters stand up and say,
“The only thing about a man that is a man is his mind. Everything else you’re going to find in a pig or horse.”
And he was right! Do you see, we can think, and we can think anything we want. That is where freedom really comes in. I would recommend that you reject all the negative information that you hear with respect to the economy. Now this is good. We’re getting rid of the old and making room for the new. But that is another subject.
How do We Work? Think whatever you want to think.
There is a power that’s flowing into our consciousness, and you can think with it.
Now your subconscious mind is your emotional mind, and whatever you turnover to, the emotional mind dictates what you’re going to feel. See, you think in pictures and you can choose your thoughts. Then you impress those thoughts upon your subconscious which creates a vibration.
Now vibration on a conscious level is called feeling. We invented the word feeling to describe our conscious awareness of the vibration we are in, and whatever the conscious mind impresses upon the subconscious must be expressed through the body. The body being the instrument of the mind.
Our feelings are expressed in actions and our actions produce the results.
See the StickPerson explained visually here:
Now what is 6 minutes all about?
It’s about changing results.
Most people do not understand the mind, so they do not think about that. They just think about results. Well, if you keep watching and using 6 minutes as we suggest, you are going to find that your results will change. But it’s because you are starting to understand how your mind works.
The cause of all results resides within.
Now I’m going to recommend that you spend 5 or 10 minutes right now, maybe watching this one clip. Watch it over and over and over again. Start to see yourself as mind and body. If I were working with you, I would automatically have an imaginary line right across the centre of your head. And I would know how your conscious mind works. I would know how your subconscious works. I know your body is an instrument of your mind.
So when I find out what you want, I can show you how to get what you want by showing you how to change what’s going on inside.
This (graphic) is called the stickperson. Study it. Fall in love with it.
I’m going to tell you I could take you to corporations, to senior executives all over the world and they will say this is most valuable idea they have ever learned. It is helped me earn millions of dollars and it can help you to.
Watch it over and over, and over again. Repetition is the first law of learning.
This is Bob Proctor, and thank you.”
6 Minutes to Success #254 – Spiritual Vs Physical
See a 1 minute reel of this idea here:
“Welcome back to six minutes.
I’m still enjoying (the book) Stairway To Success by Nido Qubein. Here’s another thought provoking quote here, by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Emerson said,
“Great persons are they who see that spiritual is stronger than any material force.”
The title of the chapter is Getting Ready Spiritually, and you know, this idea definitely calls for 4-5 minutes of quietness.
Ask yourself, am I spiritually ready for the day?

There is a magnificent unseen power that flows to and through you. It is stronger than any physical thing that you’re going to come up against, yourself or anyone else can come up against. The spiritual is definitely stronger than the physical.
Now spend 4-5 minutes just being quiet and thinking about that.
Tell yourself “I am spiritual, I am a spiritual being”. Because you are!
You’ve heard me say before that that your spiritual DNA is perfect.
By the way, I want to congratulate you for staying with this six-minute programme. You know it’s because I have never left it, that I have never left this form of study, and I keep growing. I stay young, I stay happy and healthy, and I keep getting wealthier.
It is, you know, it’s such a good way to live!
Spiritual is much stronger than the physical.
In fact, the physical is nothing but the manifestation of the spiritual – got always manifest through with polar opposite.
This is Bob Proctor, and thank you.
Hope You Found This How do We Work Information Helpful!
These lessons are designed to be short sharp snippets to encourage you to think more critically about you and your life. The stickperson graphic really is the most valuable and simple idea when trying to make changes to our lives. It is the basis of understanding who you are and what paradigms you have. This is the reason I have covered this before in a previous post with a video, that you can see here.
We are, put simply, spiritual beings, living in a physical body.
As soon as we realise that the sooner we can start working on a higher plane of understanding and get to our goals much faster! We are no longer tethered by our physical world, we rise above it.
If any of this resonates with you then please share your thoughts below. If you want to discuss it further then get in touch today. Either here or through any of my social medias or schedule a call to discuss it with me directly. To see the details for the 6 Minutes To Success Program, click here.
