[Music] paradigms control the results in your
life they have the power over everything from
your relationships to your income and when
you shift your paradigm everything in your
life improves hello I'm Bob Proctor and I
want to welcome you to paradigm shift where
we're gonna teach you how to make dramatic
improvements and the quality of your life
now here's something that you may not want
to hear but you've got to learn and you've
got to learn how to deal with it when you
decide to make a paradigm shift I'm going
to tell you what happens you're gonna raise
the terror barrier you're gonna hit it like
a wall of bricks but you can go through it
and you don't let it stop you now without
understanding the terror barrier you could
keep going back to the start over and over
and over again so the big question is how
our paradigms changed and here's your answer
it's a lifetime commitment to a daily program
of self-improvement now think of it that's
a lifetime commitment to a daily program of
self-improvement now if you're not involved
in a daily program of self-improvement that
should that could seem like a humongous task
but you're involved in a lifetime commitment
to feeding your body you're involved in a
lifetime commitment to showering and sleeping
you're involved in a lifetime commitment to
a whole lot of things why not just include
maybe 30 or 60 minutes a day for the development
of your own personality do you know it's like
chipping away at a solid vein of gold you
can do nothing but win so that's really what
it's all about now I want you to think of
this for a moment there's a power flowing
into your consciousness and as that power
flows into your consciousness you can make
anything you want out of it but odds are pretty
good we're going to think thoughts that are
in harmony with our present conditioning now
I'm going to ask you to let your present conditioning
be represented by X X type thoughts X is the
unknown factor so we've got x-type conditioning
x-type behavior X type results what type of
thoughts what a person normally be under taining
they'd be entertaining X type thoughts let
me give you a different way of looking at
it let's suppose a person's earning $50,000
a year their behavior would be the behavior
of a person that earns $50,000 a year the
results 50,000 a year what do you think they'd
be thinking they would be thinking the thoughts
of a person that earns $50,000 x-type thoughts
if it's X type conditioning and you don't
shift the paradigm you're going to think X
type thoughts now you can entertain other
thoughts you don't have to think X type thoughts
but that's generally what people will do now
I call that bondage we go from bondage we
go to something called reason and this is
where you entertain a white type thought Y
being bigger better different than X now as
long as the Y idea is just in your intellectual
or your conscious mind everything's fine nothing
changes you could be sitting down and decide
to fantasize you're going to entertain the
thought of earning $50,000 a month or maybe
a hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year
something substantially more than the $50,000
a year and as long as that idea remains in
the consciousness everything's fine I'll give
you an example of what I was talking about
I was on the fire department in Toronto it
was the best job I've ever had now I'm going
back many many years and I I thought I'd stay
there forever they never fired anybody no
one ever quit one person since 1934 quit I
was working seven days and seven nights a
month and we worked at night we could go to
bed so I mean I was virtually retired I was
26 so I was looking at what I was doing as
being the best thing in the world now I decided
after I started to read Think and Grow Rich
that I wanted something better than what the
fire department offered I had no credentials
I had no formal education I had no business
experience but that book inspired me to be
thinking of why type thought and you know
as long as I kept the idea in my consciousness
everything was fine but I didn't do that you
know what I did I started to get emotionally
involved with the idea of earning a lot of
money of having my own business of traveling
all over the world I mean I was good at fantasizing
I had no difficulty with that but when I started
to get emotionally involved with it it was
just like all hell broke loose in my mind
you know instantly my mind went from worry
to fear to anxiety and that's what you call
hitting the terror barrier the second you
get involved in the idea of making a big change
in your life something happens it's scary
and you hit the terror barrier what do you
do you'll run right back to your safety zone
to bondage and I was thinking well you know
the fire department's not that bad of a job
I get lots of time off I'm drawn better than
average income you know there's a pension
and they can't fire you you know you've got
to work for the government you'll never hear
from them again and that's where I was but
you see it's almost like how are you gonna
keep them down on the farm after they've seen
TV I had gotten emotionally involved with
the Y idea now do you know the only way around
this is understanding that's the only way
there's no other way you've really got to
understand what's going on when you start
to get emotionally involved with an idea that
is far beyond your present conditioning everything
goes a little nuts your nervous system is
affected it's what we call the terror barrier
now do you know Thoreau once mentioned he
said if a person will advance confidently
yet in the direction of their dream and endeavor
to live the life they've imagined didn't say
you had to do it I mean I've taken this quote
apart six ways to Sunday and just diagnosed
it and looked at it he said if the person
will advance confidently yet in the direction
of their dream and endeavor to live the life
they've imagined give it your best shot they
will meet with success unexpected in common
hours well there's a few key arts to that
it says if so you know there's a note you
don't have to do it if a person will advance
confidently well I wasn't very confident as
a matter of fact I wasn't confident at all
I was scared Steph and anybody that goes to
make a big move let's say a person quits a
salary job to go on commission that's a big
move let's say you move from one country to
another I've moved from Canada to the United
States to England to Malaysia I mean I've
moved all over but the first one that was
a tough one when you go to make that first
change things happen inside of you now you
shouldn't let that stop you you see what you
want to do is gain an understanding of what's
causing the terror barrier it's the paradigm
the paradigm is trying to hold you where you
are now keep in mind what the paradigm is
the paradigm is a multitude of habits that
are fixed in the subconscious mind and when
you go to stir them up everything goes crazy
in your nervous system gets worried fear anxiety
now I'm gonna hit on that more in a few minutes
but it's it's it's not a nice thing now you're
either gonna say wait a minute I understand
what's causing this worry it is not justified
it is not justified gets the old conditioning
that's causing it but if I get emotionally
involved with the worry that's gonna set up
fear and fear must be expressed through the
only instrument it can your physical body
and that's where the anxiety comes from well
you see with the proper understanding you
can crash right through that terror barrier
you say I'm not I'm just not going to do this
I'm going to go through that terror barrier
I'm going to end up with what I want and the
way to do that is continually play with the
Y idea over and over and over again it may
be scary but I'm going to tell you the compensation
is phenomenal and that's where the repetition
comes in now that's essentially what I did
but I didn't understand what I was doing I
was reading the book and I was listening to
all nightingale's condensed narration of the
book I'm driving around playing that record
on a battery-operated record player I'm going
way back the early sixties and I kept playing
this thing over and over and over and I kept
reading the book everybody told me I was crazy
leaving the fire department you know within
a year I had 10% of the fire department working
for me I had my own company my dream has been
fulfilled I've got business all over the world
now I'm on a bigger idea but I crashed through
the terror barrier I have come to the point
where if a goal does not scare and excite
me at the same time I know the goal is probably
not any good if your goals don't scare you
you're going sideways you're not going ahead
at all you're just not you've got to get this
right in your mind you've got to understand
that whenever you go to raise the bar to do
something that you're not conditioned to do
the terror barrier comes up and in the only
way around that is continually getting involved
in the why idea keep listening to it over
and over and over again now you see we have
a choice we really have a choice the choice
rests in our own consciousness and we can
choose what we're going to plug into we can
choose and plug into what's wrong or we can
choose to plug into what's right I'll tell
you how I want it I want you to look at this
you've got the drawing of the mind on the
body the circle the top half is the conscious
mind I want you to visualize a plus sign on
one side of your mind and a negative sign
on the other side that's the negative and
the positive the positive and the negative
the young in the yang the inside the outside
the up the down the hot/cold it's the opposite
side of the same thing now you have a choice
to which side you're going to plug into if
you are living in an ignorant state I can
guarantee you when this power flows into your
consciousness the paradigm will take over
and you'll start to worry and dote now above
the negative sign I want you to put the word
ignorance above the positive sign put the
word knowledge see it's knowledge that's going
to get you to where you want to go and the
only way to get to the knowledge is to study
there's no other way but if a person is into
the negative if they if they they're starting
to worry and don't understand when you're
worrying and you're doubting that is your
choice you have chosen to look at the downside
of a situation it's like the front and the
back something both sides are there you can
say but it's real it's there look at it and
you're right it is real you can justify why
you should look at it but that isn't going
to do you any good it's going to take you
in the wrong direction when you consciously
get involved in a negative idea and you internalize
that idea you add emotion to it you set up
the only emotion you can which is fear now
fear must be expressed through the only instrument
it can be expressed through your physical
body you see the body is the instrument of
the mind and that fear is expressed on a physical
level as anxiety now most people when they
experiment on valium what they should do is
understand what's causing the anxiety but
we don't do that do you know what the average
individual does when they get that negative
vibration they suppress it they hold it inside
they tell no one about it they suppress it
and you know what happens when you suppress
anxiety you turn it into depression now stop
and think what I'm saying here you go from
an ignorant state you start worrying you're
looking at all the things that could go wrong
what you should be looking at is all the things
that could go right but we get looking at
what could go wrong and we start to worry
and we start to doubt and that's what happens
when you hit that terror barrier it knocks
you right over onto the negative side that
don't worry instantly turned into fear instantly
turn into anxiety I mean it just happens like
that you're dealing with the central nervous
system it's the most complex electrical system
in the universe now I don't think you want
to live that way I don't want to live that
way I used to live that way because that didn't
understand what I was doing what was happened
to me but now I understand what's happening
and instead of suppressing the anxiety I get
rid of it I expel it I tell it they get out
go for a walk it's not welcome but a person
that suppresses the anxiety it turns into
depression depression turns into dis ease
now dis ease is exactly what it says it's
a body not at ease and that person's body
starts to disintegrate now that is a very
very negative track of persons on it's important
that you understand this now what's the answer
faith based on understanding is the key to
success faith based on understanding now blind
faith isn't worth much people say all blind
faith now no blind faith isn't worth much
first time you hit at Arab area the faith
is gone no it's a cute little story about
the guy that's gonna walk across the gorge
in it in Niagra live real close to Niagara
so I'm very familiar with this but the the
rapids are treacherous I mean they're just
terrible well he put a wire right across the
the gorge and he's gonna walk across a high
wire so he's up there on his stick and there's
people all over the place and they're watching
they're saying go for it go for it you know
this guy's walking on a wire he's got a big
balancing beam and then he puts that down
he puts a wheel barrel up on it and he looks
at this guy said you think I can make it the
guy say sure you can make it he said get in
the barrel he didn't really believe it at
all you know blind faith faith based on understanding
when we understand how our mind functions
when we understand what the paradigms doing
when we understand that the paradigm is conditioning
it's in every cell of our being and it flips
us right over unto the negative you know we're
sunk if we don't understand that but when
you do understand it it's the key to freedom
it really is the key to freedom now think
I keep talking about this there's a power
flowing to and through I want you to visualize
an enormous funnel coming right into the top
of your head and there's an energy flowing
right into your consciousness and it has no
farm it's pure unadulterated creative power
and you can take a new thing to build any
idea you want you're wondering I wonder if
this will work and wonder if that works it
doesn't work we work gets our focus it's our
focus that determines whether we're going
to make something happen or not we wonder
we think it's something outside I wonder if
the economy will handle it the economy's got
nothing to do with it I wonder if the marketplace
no no no no it's not the marketplace it's
our self gets our own understanding when that
power flows in we don't just think we ask
ourselves what do I really want and then we
understand the paradigm is gonna try and stop
me I'm gonna overrule that paradigm I'm not
gonna let it stop me so what do I do I look
at the positive side how do I do that it's
through understanding I understand what's
going on I understand the paradigms trying
to stop me from following my dream now there's
only one way to develop understanding there
is no other way just one way and that's your
study and if you will make a commitment to
a lifetime of study you'll just pray change
one paradigm after another you'll keep breaking
them and they're gonna have to keep in broken
you're gonna have to continually have paradigm
shifts now I've been working at it consciously
and deliberately for 45 years and I know if
I go for another 45 years and I certainly
hope I do I'm gonna continue to break the
paradigm so I'm not going to let them control
me I absolutely refuse to you see we want
to look at how it's going to happen we want
to understand there's laws we want to understand
that God gave us the ability to make choices
we want to know that we can consciously and
deliberately choose to move in harmony with
the law and when we do our whole world begins
to change see understanding leads to something
that everybody needs and very few people have
understanding leads to faith now faith based
on understanding is what moves mountains and
it will move any mountain it'll change your
life it'll make your life be everything that's
supposed to be now when the faith is expressed
remember we said the don't worry causes fear
and the fear causes anxiety the anxiety is
that fear being expressed whatever's impress
must be expressed well when you impress understanding
upon the subconscious you develop an emotional
state called faith there's a feeling of strength
inside you you know that you're working with
an infinite power that operates in an orderly
manner and so you move into a state of vibration
called well-being well-being now remember
we said the anxiety it's polar opposite was
suppressed well beings not suppressed well
beings expressed have you ever gone up to
anybody and said hi how are you and they look
around and say I'm really excited people don't
do that when doing a good vibration you see
it you see it in their actions you see it
the way they walk the way they talk the way
they meet and greet people there's something
about them that you're attracted to see well
beings expressed and that expression leads
to acceleration it picks up speed good things
start to happen it starts to get better it
starts to pick up speed and you know what
else happens you start to attract things to
you you attract good things to you and you
know why because you're at ease you are at
ease now think about this for a moment you're
at ease you have consciously and deliberately
put every cell in your body into a relaxed
state I'll give you good exercise I have a
friend of mine that was he was pretty uptight
a little while ago and I said you want to
know what you should do you should get the
book as a man thinketh I mentioned on another
series if you go to as a man thinketh dotnet
you can download it it won't cost you a dime
it's phenomenal book it's probably one of
the best books I have ever read and the last
chapter is on serenity let me tell you how
it starts it says kindness of mind is one
of the beautiful jewels of wisdom yet as a
result of long and patient effort in self-control
see that's what we're doing self-control what's
the polar opposite paradigm control calmness
of mind is one of the beautiful jewels of
wisdom it's the result of long and patient
effort in self-control you know there was
an old bald guy branch rickey he was with
the Brooklyn Dodgers now I'm going back a
hundred years but he was he was really one
of the bald eyes of his day he said he didn't
care how far a guy could throw a ball or how
accurate he didn't care how far he could hit
it he didn't care how fast he could run he
didn't care how well he could catch it if
he wasn't as loose as as he wouldn't hire
him totally relaxed have you ever watched
the runners when they're getting down to you
know getting ready to run they loosen their
body totally relaxed do you know when you're
relaxed all the chakras are open the energy
is flowing freely through you you are in the
vibration that you should be in to really
make things happen in a big way we're talking
about using our creative powers in another
part of this series I talked about our higher
faculties our mental faculties our creative
faculties our mental muscles if we really
want to use them we're gonna have to be relaxed
and you know when you're relaxed when you're
in charge of yourself it's one of the beautiful
jewels of wisdom it's one of the long and
patience efforts or the result of long and
patience effort in self-control that's what
this series is about that's what paradigm
shift is all about it's about self-control
it's about you being in charge of you you're
at ease practice relaxing at any rate I told
this friend of mine to take the last chapter
in as a man thinketh the little book and write
it out handwrite it and carry it in his pocket
and read it do you know in two or three occasions
I've been with him there's been somebody else
that needed the same prescription and I've
told them and he's taken out of his pocket
and handed to him here he says you can have
this I'll go and do it again because he can
see value in doing it writing it over and
over and over again he's got that whole chapter
there's only four pages he's got it memorized
did you know something he'd become a different
human being he really has he is at ease I
don't see him uptight anymore he's in a great
vibration now you see when you're at is there's
no disintegration its creation and that's
really what you want to do you want to create
the life that you want to create so what is
their choice our choice says that we can go
through life in an ignorant state worry and
doubt let that lead to fear which leads to
anxiety which leads to suppressing it which
turns into depression this ease and disintegrate
or we can go on the other side we can study
we can make a commitment that we're going
to study remember how I talked about the changing
a paradigm is through repetition it's the
repetition of the information when you get
information like this you want to study it
over and over and over again that's where
understanding comes from you understand the
laws do you understand the laws of your being
do you understand what they are do you understand
how they function do you understand that there
is a science to getting rich do you understand
that health and happiness and wealth are normal
natural States for you to live in this isn't
a game we're playing this is a life we're
living it's so important that we get this
right you see understanding leads to a life
of faith we talked in another part of the
series about being on purpose well when you're
on purpose and you understand the laws you
you go beyond faith you know what's going
to happen and that faith leads to well-being
what a beautiful way to live you know live
in a healthy vibrant state and the well-being
is expressed do you know what you like you
might like being around people that send out
good energy Jimmy you're you've often been
in a social setting where you may be standing
around on a carpet and chatting with a group
of people it might have been a cocktail party
or a reception or something and you suddenly
feel someone come in the room and you hear
the chatter start to slow down and you look
over at the door and sure enough she's standing
there you don't know who she is but you know
she's somebody special isn't that somebody
that you see on the big screen or on the tube
she's not on the cover of magazines but you
know she's somebody special she know what
you're looking at you're looking at someone
that knows they're special I'm not talking
about an ego trip I'm talking about a healthy
conscious awareness of who they are and that's
what comes from understanding they have faith
in themselves they've got a calm confident
attitude about them and that's expressed in
their well-being it's an expression then and
the expression leads to acceleration the acceleration
leads to winning in everything in our life
you want to remember that faith based on understanding
is truly the key to freedom now I want to
quickly review what we've covered here we're
talking about breaking the paradigms and understanding
when we go to shift the paradigm we are definitely
going to run into a terror barrier it's it's
a scary thing and it's something that even
when you understand it it still scares you
but you don't let it stop you gets like hitting
a brick wall you see people doing this all
the time they're making a decision to do something
they back off they just don't do it and you
wonder wonder why they don't it's because
they're scared and they're living in an ignorant
state they don't know how to change it you
see your paradigm is controlling your thinking
to an enormous degree you are quite capable
and I don't even know what you weren't but
I do know this you can turn your annual income
into a monthly income you're very capable
of doing that now you may think that I'm exaggerating
you can't exaggerate when you start talking
about the potential of human being stop and
take a look at the way we communicate today
I remember when I was a kid when I saw the
first television set if anybody had told me
at that time it was black and white and it
was snow and somebody to appear on the screen
then they'd go away again if somebody had
said listen in your lifetime you'll be able
to put one on your wrist self-contained in
living color somebody can shoot something
going on in the other side of the world you
could watch the Olympics on your wrist you'd
have thought they were right out of their
mind but all that's going on in fact that's
nothing today compared to what we're capable
of doing you stick a little camera on our
computer and look at the other person and
talk to them anywhere in the world doesn't
even cost you a nickel are we moving ahead
I think we're moving ahead at a rapid rate
but I'm going to tell you something the people
that are taking this there are not letting
the paradigm stop them and I don't want you
to let the paradigm stop you I want you to
stop and think of where you're going and what
you're doing and when you go to break out
of the paradigm it's because you're using
a bigger idea than what you're conditioned
to now remember I said that conditioning is
caused you to feel comfortable it's only when
you go to change the conditioning that you
feel the discomfort and when you get emotionally
involved with it you can be thinking of the
change until you internalize it nothing happens
but the second you internalize it everything
goes haywire why you're dealing with the central
nervous system you're messing with the paradigm
you've heard the saying habits die hard well
you put a million of them together and see
what happens yet it's like a wall and you
bounce off that wall and you'll go back and
live in your conformed you know state of bondage
and justify why you should stay there don't
let that happen absolutely refuse to let that
happen if you've got an inspiration to move
to quit your job to start a business whatever
you want to do step out and do it I mentioned
in another series that God's gift to us was
more talent and ability than we'll ever hope
to use in our lifetime and our gift of God
is to develop as much of that talented ability
as we can in this lifetime you know I would
love to have the time of my command to go
into this and a lot greater depth uh but we
just don't have that I want to remind you
that there are no shortcuts you're going to
have to study you're gonna have to pay the
price and although there's no shortcuts that
doesn't mean you can't take a quantum leap
I've watched people go from nothing to millions
in a very short period of time and it's true
the transference of information and experience
that's what paradigm shift is all about I
want to congratulate you for being involved
in this series and I look forward to seeing
you in a real live seminar there's Bob Proctor
thank you [Music] you [Applause] 728 00:28:24,260
