NAPOLEON HILL THINK AND GROW RICH
Chapter 14
The Sixth Sense: The Door to the Temple of Wisdom
The Thirteenth Step toward Riches
THE "thirteenth" principle is known as the SIXTH SENSE, through which Infi-

This principle is the apex of the philosophy. It can be assimilated, understood,
and applied ONLY by first mastering the other twelve principles.
The SIXTH SENSE is that portion of the subconscious mind which has been re-

set" through which ideas, plans, and thoughts flash into the mind. The "flashes"
are sometimes called "hunches" or "inspirations."
The sixth sense defies description! It cannot be described to a person who has not
mastered the other principles of this philosophy, because such a person has no
knowledge, and no experience with which the sixth sense may be compared. Un-

finite mind of man and Infinite Intelligence, and for this reason, it is a mixture of
both the mental and the spiritual. It is believed to be the point at which the mind
