Unlocking the Sixth Sense: Activate Your “Guardian Angel” for Wealth

Have you ever made a decision that just felt right only to realize later it was exactly what you needed? That inner signal, that moment of clarity, is what Napoleon Hill calls the Sixth Sense. And it may be the single most important success tool you've never fully understood or used.

In Chapter 14 of Think and Grow Rich, Hill writes:

“There comes to your aid, and to do your bidding, with the development of the sixth sense, a ‘guardian angel’ who will open to you at all times the door to the Temple of Wisdom.

Whether or not this is a statement of truth, you will never know, except by following the instructions described in the pages of this book, or some similar method of procedure.” Page 193 “Think and Grow Rich.”

This “guardian angel” isn’t fantasy. It’s your subconscious mind, sharpened and activated through discipline, desire, and action.

Understanding the Sixth Sense in Business and Life

As a business mentor, I encourage entrepreneurs to think logically, strategically, but also intuitively. The most successful people I know have built something even more powerful than a business: they’ve built inner alignment.

The Sixth Sense is the final, master principle in Hill’s philosophy. It’s not a step you take, it’s a result you earn. When practiced correctly, it becomes your inner compass… the voice that says yes when you're about to make the right decision or wait when something's off.

But here's the truth: you can’t shortcut your way to this level of guidance.

How This Connects to Chapter 2’s 6-Step Plan

Hill’s 6-step plan trains your subconscious to focus like a laser on your chief aim. Let’s break it down:

Step 1. Fix in your mind a definite desire (your financial goal)

Step 2. Determine what you’ll give in return

Step 3. Set a clear, unshakable deadline

Step 4. Create and act on your plan immediately

Step 5. Write a statement of your goal and read it twice daily

Step 6. Do all of this with deep faith and emotion

When you repeat this process day in and day out, something amazing happens.

Your conscious and subconscious minds sync.

Suddenly, you're not just making plans, you’re receiving insights. Inspired ideas show up out of nowhere. The right people appear. Opportunities seem to align. This is the Sixth Sense at work.

The “Temple of Wisdom” is Real, But You Must Build the Door

Hill refers to a “Temple of Wisdom” that becomes accessible through the Sixth Sense. As poetic as that sounds, the idea is practical: when your mind is disciplined, focused, and driven by purpose, you gain access to a higher level of decision-making.

And you don’t need to wait years to experience this. It starts when you fully engage with the instructions he laid out, particularly the 6-step plan.

Begin or Return to the Basics

If you want access to your own guardian angel, your inner voice of success, you don’t need to wish for it.

You need to:

• Define your burning desire
• Build a written plan
• Act daily with persistence
• Guard your thoughts
• Feed your subconscious with faith and emotion

Do this, and you’ll experience the very wisdom Hill described without needing to question whether it’s real. You’ll know, because you’ll see the results.
