The Six Higher Faculties and Shifting Perception

Paradigms: Conditioning, Insurance Agents, and Writing Left-Handed

Bob explains fear as a terror barrier met whenever you pursue something new, and says the paradigm changes through emotional impact or repetition. He ties goals to frequency, saying the Law of Vibration is primary and the Law of Attraction secondary.
