Most of us are familiar with our five physical senses. They help us see, hear, touch, taste, and smell the world around us. But according to Dave and Jacq Conway, we also have six higher mental faculties that help us think, make decisions, create ideas, and shape our future.

Welcome back to episode #67 of The 30-Day Year Podcast, where Dave and Jacq Conway have a deep discussion about these six higher faculties of the mind. Throughout the episode, they break down each higher faculty using real-life examples, personal stories, and simple explanations.

These higher faculties are like mental muscles. The more you use them, the stronger they become.

And if you want to experience a breakthrough in your business, income, relationships, or personal growth, you owe it to yourself to learn all about these amazing gifts!

Sadly, most people don’t know hardly anything about them. And as a result, most people spend their lives making decisions based on the same old memories, the same old beliefs, and the same way of thinking they've always used.

Then they wonder why nothing changes.

The good news is, there is a much better way… and you’re about to learn all about it in this exciting episode! Get ready, because you are about to discover:

Key Takeaways

1.) The Six Higher Faculties Of The Mind (0:02:07)

Most people understand the purpose of their physical senses.

Your eyes help you see. Your ears help you hear. Your sense of touch helps you interact with the world around you.

But Dave explains that the mind has its own set of "senses" too. These are called the higher faculties. They are:

Perception
Reason
Imagination
Memory
Will
Intuition

While your physical senses help you navigate the outside world, your higher faculties help you navigate your inner world.

And according to Dave, the quality of your life is largely determined by how well you use these 6 mental faculties, and most people are completely clueless about them!

Tune in to this episode to hear Jacq and Dave dive deep into each one of them!

2.) Your Perception Shapes The Way You Experience Reality (0:03:44)

Dave says that perception is the lens through which you see life.

Isn’t it funny how two people can experience the exact same event and walk away with completely different opinions about it?

The reason this happens is because each person filters information through their own beliefs, experiences, assumptions, and programming.

Dave explains that perception is heavily influenced by your paradigm, or belief system.

Jacq shares how attending mindset events completely changed her perception of money, goals, and what was possible. Before being exposed to new ideas, she believed success followed a very traditional path. After hearing different perspectives, her entire view of life changed.

One powerful lesson from this section is this:

Sometimes a single new idea can change the way you see everything.

3.) WARNING: “Reason” Can Help You Move Forward... Or Keep You Stuck! (0:10:27)

“Reason” is your ability to think, analyze, and make sense of things. It's the faculty that helps you answer questions like:

Does this make sense?
Is this possible?
Should I move forward?

Reason is very important because it helps us make decisions.

But Dave also warns that many people become trapped by their reasoning.

Why?

Because they only believe what they've already experienced in the past!

And if your past results tell you something isn't possible, your reasoning faculty may reject new opportunities before you even try them.

That's why stories, testimonials, and examples can be so powerful. They help your mind see evidence that something bigger might be possible for you too.

Reason is valuable.

Just don't let it become a prison.

4.) Imagination Is Your Greatest Creative Power (0:14:21)

Napoleon Hill called the imagination “the most marvelous, miraculous, inconceivably powerful force the world has ever known.” And you have one, free and clear!

Dave says that every human being (including you) has the right to direct their own life because they have an imagination.

The imagination is the extremely powerful, higher mental faculty that allows us to transcend time and space. Your body can only be in one place at a time, but your imagination can go anywhere instantly.

And here’s the really exciting part…

Dave says everything is created twice:

First in the mind. (In your imagination.)

Then in physical reality.

The chair you're sitting in, the house you live in, the business you run, and the goals you're pursuing all started as an image in someone's imagination. That’s a pretty amazing realization if you stop and think about it!

And guess what? Visualization is one of the best ways to strengthen your imagination.

Remember, your future often shows up in your mind before it shows up in your life.

5.) Memory Can Either Support Your Future… Or Keep Repeating Your Past (0:21:09)

Memory is your ability to recall past experiences.

Your subconscious mind is an infinite storehouse of images, impressions, and experiences. Those memories influence how you think, what you believe, and what you expect from life.

And according to Dave, the subconscious mind doesn't know the difference between something vividly imagined and something that physically happened.

This is why visualization can be so powerful.

You can create what Dave calls a "future memory" by repeatedly imagining the life, business, health, or income you want to create.

6.) “Imagination” And The “Will” Are The Two Mental Faculties That Can Create Quantum Leaps For You! (0:29:06)

Towards the end of this episode, Jacq asks Dave which of these six mental faculties matter the most for creating major change, and Dave didn't hesitate.

His answer was the “imagination” and the “will.”

You see, the imagination creates the image, and the will holds that image in place. But very few people hold onto those ideas and images long enough to bring them into reality. That's where the will comes in.

The interesting thing is that Dave says most people live through memory and reason instead. They think about what happened before and use logic based on past experiences. And that keeps you stuck.

If you want different results, you need to start living through your imagination and will.

Create a clear mental picture of what you want.

Then hold that picture regardless of what current circumstances are telling you.

That's how transformation begins.
