Enthusiasm vs. Excitement and Continually Studying Who You Are
Jay Shetty asks how to stay motivated through deep internal work. Bob Proctor says people look for excitement when they should seek enthusiasm, which he ties to being in spirit. He says the way to maintain it is to keep studying who you are and applying it.
- •Excitement swings between highs and lows, while enthusiasm treats things as simply what they are
- •Proctor says enthusiasm comes from 'en theos', meaning in spirit
- •Never stop studying, and apply what you study
- •He says money is an exact way to measure results, unlike happiness or health
- •He and his partner build schools in Africa through the Unstoppable Foundation
Money as Service and What People Miss About the Law of Attraction
Jay describes growing up believing money was negative, and Proctor agrees it is an energy of service. Proctor says the law of attraction is widely misunderstood and is a secondary law that follows the law of vibration. Our thoughts, feelings and actions send out a vibration, and what comes back matches it.
- •Jay says the monks taught him to see money as an energy source of service
- •Proctor says hardly anybody understands the law of attraction, including as shown in The Secret movie
- •Attraction is a secondary law, and the primary law is vibration
- •You can only attract what is in resonance with you
- •Most people are on an AM frequency trying to listen to FM music
Reading Your Frequency Through Results, and Recognizing Truth
Asked how to diagnose your vibration, Proctor says results don't lie and show what you have been thinking. He explains feeling as conscious awareness of vibration and uses a radio analogy for how truth resonates. He also talks about his 60 years of study and his 'magnificent obsession' with the question 'Who am I?'
- •Your results reveal the frequency you're on
- •Feeling is conscious awareness of vibration
- •Like a radio picking up broadcast music, truth resonates and shows up as knowing
- •Proctor has studied this every day for 60 years
- •He redefines obsession through The Magnificent Obsession, and Jay calls 'Who am I?' the seed of all knowledge
Love as Resonance
Jay asks about applying the law of attraction to finding and keeping love. Proctor defines love as resonance, with two people in harmony intellectually, emotionally and physically. He says many married people are in habit rather than in love.
- •Love means being on the same frequency intellectually, emotionally and physically
- •Proctor says most married people are not in love
- •You can also love a business, an idea or a place
- •He cites Paul the Apostle that the greatest thing is love
- •He says life is good at 87
What Do You Love? Finding Purpose and Serving Others
Asked what listeners should do next, Proctor tells them to write down what they really want and what they love doing. He says that is where purpose starts. He tells the story of a doctor thinking of quitting and of Earl Nightingale's advice, and says you earn money by providing service.
- •Ask yourself what you really want and write it down
- •Purpose is why you get out of bed in the morning
- •Proctor says there are two forms of income, satisfaction and money
- •Earl Nightingale told him to figure out what he loves and dedicate his life to it
- •Proctor says to figure out money separately and that you can earn it while you sleep by serving people
Morning Awareness and Why Success Comes from Being Who You Are
Jay asks about starting the day well, and the guest describes lying in bed as awareness. Jay uses a fish-out-of-water analogy to explain why body-and-mind success doesn't satisfy. The guest says a dream coming true reveals what is missing, and that being who you are makes success effortless.
- •The guest lies in bed each morning simply being awareness
- •She says the greatest dream coming true shows that lasting happiness isn't found there

- •The guest says the shortcut is to be happy now
You Are Not the Mind: Awareness Before and After Thought
Jay says many people can accept they aren't the body but struggle to see they aren't the mind. The guest explains that the mind is made only of thought. She says you are present before and after each thought and are what is aware of thoughts. Jay adds that language shows we say 'my mind' and 'my body'.
- •The mind consists of thought, including memory and images
- •If we were our thoughts, we'd disappear a bit with each one
- •Awareness is what notices thoughts, and a thought has no awareness
- •Jay says we say 'my mind' and 'my body', which implies a self beyond them
- •The guest says the mind is a great tool and the problem arises when we think it is who we are
Awakening and a Daily Practice of Noticing Awareness
The guest describes awakening as feeling lighter, freer and happier, with life becoming miraculous. Jay asks for tangible daily rituals. She offers a exercise of setting aside the body, story and mind to see what remains, plus a three-step practice of asking 'Am I aware?', noticing awareness and staying as awareness.
- •Awakening brings lightness and freedom, and everyone can have it
- •Set aside the body, your story and the mind to see what is left
- •Ask 'Am I aware?' repeatedly through the day
- •The practice moves from asking, to noticing, to staying as awareness
- •Awareness comes to the foreground and the mind steps back, to be used when needed
