The Sixth Sense: The Door to the Temple of Wisdom – The Thirteenth Step toward Riches


“On scores of occasions, when I have faced emergencies, some of them so grave that my life was in jeopardy, I have been miraculously guided past these difficulties through the influence of my ‘Invisible Counselors.’”

Napoleon Hill


This is the 13th and last Step toward Riches in Napoleon Hill’s famous world bestseller “Think And Grow Rich”. Though it is not the book’s last chapter. Napoleon Hill calls this 13th Step toward Riches the “apex of the philosophy. It can be assimilated, understood, and applied ONLY by first mastering the other twelve principles.”

I am not sure, if I already master the other12 principles to get rich. But I like the this chapter anyway. The most entertaining, partly funny part is Mr. Hill’s description of “an imaginary Council meeting with this group whom I called my ‘Invisible Counselors.’”

Every night, over a long period of years, Napoleon Hill meets 9 men for an imaginary council:

  • Ralph Waldo Emerson
  • Luther Burbank
  • Napoleon Bonaparte
  • Andrew Carnegie
  • Henry Ford
  • Thomas A. Edison
  • Thomas Paine
  • Charles Darwin
  • Abraham Lincoln

Napoleon Hill reports: “My purpose was to rebuild my own character so it would represent a composite of the characters of my imaginary counselors.” He talked to his 9 imaginary guests naming their character traits and skills he would like to acquire by using his Sixth Sense.

For example: Mr. Hill wished “(…) the marvelous  understanding  of Nature which distinguished your life.” from Ralph Waldo Emerson, “(…) access to the knowledge which enabled you to make two blades of grass grow where but one grew before (…)” from Luther Burbank.

He asked from Abraham Lincoln “(…) the keen sense of justice, the untiring spirit of patience, the sense of humor, the human understanding, and the tolerance (…)” and addressed Andrew Carnegie “I wish to acquire a thorough understanding  of  the  principles  of  organized  effort,  which  you  used  so  effectively in the building of a great industrial enterprise.”

Over time, these 9 men developed individual characteristics.Abraham Lincoln was always late, walked slowly and rarely smiled, while Luther Burbank and Thomas Paine often seemed wanting to shock the other members of the cabinet , indulging in witty repartee.

Mr. Hill remembers: “On one occasion Burbank was late. When he came, he was excited with enthusiasm, and explained that he had been late, because of an experiment he was making, through which he hoped to be able to grow apples on any sort of tree.

“Paine chided him by reminding him that it was an apple which started all the trouble between man and woman. Darwin chuckled heartily as he suggested that Paine should watch out for little serpents, when he went into the forest to gather apples, as they had the habit of growing into big snakes. Emerson observed-”No serpents, no apples,” and Napoleon remarked, “No apples, no state!”

Napoleon Hill states, that he discontinued the meetings for several months. The Council had become so realistic, that he was afraid to lose sight of the imaginary Sixth Sense character of the meetings.

Later he added some new members to his Cabinet up to more than 50, among them Christ, St. Paul, Galileo, Copernicus, Aristotle, Plato, Socrates, Homer, Voltaire, Bruno, Spinoza, Drummond, Kant, Schopenhauer,  Newton,  Confucius,  Elbert  Hubbard,  Brann,  Ingersol,  Wilson,  and  William James.

Napoleon Hill sees big advantages in this method of an imaginary Council. He says: “I now go to my imaginary counselors with every difficult problem which confronts me and my clients. The results are often astonishing, although I do not depend entirely on this Sixth Sense form of Counsel.”

The Mystery of Sex: Transmutation – The Tenth Step toward Riches


“Sex transmutation is simple and easily explained. It means the switching of the mind from thoughts of physical expression, to thoughts of some other nature.”

Napoleon Hill


Napoleon Hill considers sex desire as the most powerful of human desires. That’s why the exercise of will-power is necessary for the transmutation of sex energy. “But the reward is worth the effort”, says Dr. Hill.

This chapter is about utilizing the “irresistible force” of the emotion of sex and its super power for action in order to succeed and get rich. Napoleon Hill lists:

10 stimuli to which the human mind responds  most freely:

  1. The desire for sex expression
  2. Love
  3. A burning desire for fame, power, or financial gain, MONEY
  4. Music
  5. Friendship between either those of the same sex, or those of the opposite sex.
  6. A Master Mind alliance based upon the harmony of two or more people who ally themselves for spiritual or temporal advancement.
  7. Mutual suffering, such as that experienced by people who are persecuted.
  8. Auto-suggestion
  9. Fear
  10. Narcotics and alcohol.

These stimuli most effectively “stepup” the mind and lead to instant physical action. In a following excursus, Napoleon Hill talks about the Sixth Sense, a.k.a. Creative Imagination. He gives some examples of how the Sixth Sense works like when ideas or concepts flash into one’s mind.

  • An orator closes his eyes just before the climax of his oratory to speak through ideas which come to him from within.
  • An American Financier closes his eyes for two or three minutes before making a decision

Then Napoleon Hill presents the names of men. From their biographies he is sure to know, that all of them have been of a highly sexed nature and their source of power was transmuted sex energy.

  • GEORGE WASHINGTON
  • NAPOLEON BONAPARTE
  • WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
  • ABRAHAM LINCOLN
  • RALPH WALDO EMERSON
  • ROBERT BURNS
  • THOMAS JEFFERSON
  • ELBERT HUBBARD
  • ELBERT H. GARY
  • OSCAR WILDE
  • WOODROW WILSON
  • JOHN H. PATTERSON
  • ANDREW JACKSON
  • ENRICO CARUSO

“Widespread ignorance on the subject of sex is due to the fact that the subject has been surrounded with mystery and beclouded by dark silence.”

Napoleon Hill
