Paradigm

I’m going to share a word with you. You may have heard the word before. Odds are pretty good that you may not really understand it and then again you may have never heard it. And if you don’t understand it, don’t feel bad because the person next door probably doesn’t understand it either.

The word is paradigm. Now you can go into psychological books, and books on psychology, and books on behavioral science. That’s what I did when I first heard it, and you know I quickly came to the realization I was never going to understand what a paradigm was because they had definitions for a paradigm that only other psychologists or behavioral scientists would understand. Here I am the lay person.

I’m just an ordinary guy out there wants to make it happen and make it happen a lot and fast and in a big way. And I seemed to have an innate awareness that paradigm was a very important part of that. A paradigm is a multitude of habits that are fixed in your subjective mind that are controlling your behavior. Why do obviously brilliant people do such dumb things? Why do people spend years in school, get possibly doctorates degrees in subjects and end up doing dumb jobs, earning no money? Well I’m going to tell you that puzzles a lot of people. It puzzled me for years.

I was in England and I took my income to over a million dollars, and I only had 2 months high school and I had no business experience. I had a company that operated in 7 cities and 3 countries. I am shocked with the results I’m getting and I’m trying to understand how this happened.

It took me 9 years to figure this out and I was looking for the answer. I was studying with some the most brilliant people in the world because if there was anyone anywhere teaching anything on the mind, I didn’t care what it cost or how far I had to travel, I would learn it.

I found that you and I are programmed. We’re programmed genetically at the moment of conception. All of mom’s DNA is in that little particle of energy that she contributes. All of dad’s DNA is in that little part he contributes and they swim along and they get married. And that formed the nucleus of you. And then 280 days later after 280 days of attracting energy, you made your appearance on this planet. Your great debut on planet earth and you are sitting there with your subconscious mind wide open conscious has never developed, and you are taking in everything that goes on all around you.

How do you account for a little child before they even go to school becoming fluent in 4 and 5 languages? Where I grew up, if a child learned one they were doing pretty good. How do you account for that? It’s called a paradigm, its called programming. You are the product of your environment. Now think ... the paradigm is formed by being programmed into our subconscious mind in our little life and then off we go to school. Now school has a curriculum. They have a program and they give you intellectual knowledge. They give you books and you study them and if you got the answers to the questions they ask, you’ll get a degree.

They said nothing about the paradigm. They didn’t talk about the programming and so you go out into the world well-equipped intellectually to do wonderful things. But you never do them. You see, a part of your mind that gathers all the information in school is not the part of the mind that controls the behavior. This could be the most valuable Six Minutes' lesson you’ve ever watched.

Now we don’t have the time at our command here, to get into this, but we run seminars. If you ever get the opportunity, come to one of our seminars for three days or a week. If you have to borrow the money and walk out on a job to get there—do it. Because when you really start to understand what paradigms are, your life will change.

You see, what I did over that 9 year period when I went from struggling to winning, to winning with ease—I changed my paradigm. I changed all those habits, and I didn’t know what I had done. It took me 9 years to figure it out. Paradigm, write it down P A R A D I G M.

Paradigm, study it. It’s a multitude of habits that are programed into your subconscious mind that control your behavior. And if you try and override that paradigm you hit a terror barrier and you back away because it scares the living daylights out of you. You stay where you’re comfortable. The paradigm controls the vibration, even if you don’t like it. You’re comfortable there. The paradigm is controlling you. Change the paradigm, you change your life and that’s what the Proctor Gallagher Institute is all about.

It’s about changing paradigms and then you get Results that Stick.

This is Bob Proctor and thank you.
