In the realm of personal development and success coaching, Bob Proctor stands as a luminary figure. His profound teachings have guided countless individuals on their journeys towards success and achievement.
One concept, in particular, occupies a central place in Bob's philosophy - the STICKPERSON.
In this article, we'll delve into the essence of STICKPERSON, its significance, and how it can transform not only individual lives but also our collective existence.
STICKPERSON is a concept that Bob Proctor held dear, and it plays a pivotal role in all of his teachings.
At its core, STICKPERSON represents a fundamental truth: beneath our surface differences, we share a common essence.
It transcends gender and individual identity, reminding us that, fundamentally, we are all alike. It echoes the idea that we are perhaps "God's highest form of being," urging us to recognize the divinity within ourselves and others.
Bob Proctor's journey to STICKPERSON began with a fortuitous encounter with Leland Val Vandewall.
Vandewall's insight that "Nobody has ever seen the mind" became the catalyst for a deeper understanding of human consciousness. This revelation challenged the prevailing notion that the mind was confined to the brain, emphasizing that it extended far beyond, akin to a "switching station." This concept laid the groundwork for STICKPERSON.
To fully grasp the significance of STICKPERSON, it's essential to consider the historical context of psychological thought.
Figures like Sigmund Freud most influential spanned the century before proceeded through the end of The Great War (WW I) and culminated toward the rise of Totalitarianism with his beginning and mid and end point publications respectively being: Studies on Hysteria (1895); Introduction to Psychoanalysis (1917); and Moses and Monotheism (1939) and Carl Jung shaped our understanding of the mind, while Abraham Maslow introduced the "Hierarchy of Needs." It was the recognition and realization of 3 – yes, there’s that magic number three again – groups of needs: Physical; Psychological; and Self-Actualization.
However, STICKPERSON stands out for its simplicity and reliability.
STICKPERSON can be visualized as a simple yet profound representation of the mind.
It consists of two circles connected by a spine, with the larger top circle divided into two halves. The upper half represents the conscious mind, while the lower half symbolizes the subconscious mind.
Within the STICKPERSON model, the conscious mind is where thinking occurs, representing a mere 2-4% of our mental capacity, according to some studies. In contrast, the subconscious mind accounts for the remaining 96-98% and is the domain of feelings, habits, and programmed responses.
To transform our lives, we must first change our thinking through a committed decision. This shift in thinking then triggers a change in our feelings, achieved through repetitive actions, often referred to as "practices." Over time, these actions compound and manifest as our results.
While the STICKPERSON model simplifies the process of personal transformation, it underscores the importance of taking action. Many people hesitate to step out of their comfort zones and pursue their dreams.
The small vertical line within STICKPERSON symbolizes the difference between those who dream and those who realize their dreams.
As a coach, I must encourage individuals to have the temerity to act, to avoid becoming like sheep led to slaughter.
Beyond individual growth, STICKPERSON holds profound implications for our collective existence.
To enact positive change in our society, we must harmonize and collaborate, recognizing the value of "the other."
Failure to do so not only jeopardizes the well-being of others but also our own.
It's crucial to refrain from seeing ourselves as "the other" and instead cultivate unity, understanding, and compassion.
STICKPERSON, Bob Proctor's concept of the mind and human potential, offers a simple yet powerful framework for personal growth and societal transformation.
By embracing its principles and encouraging others to do the same, we can unlock our true potential and work toward a more harmonious and prosperous world.
As a professional mindset coach I continue to spread the wisdom of STICKPERSON and empower individuals to reach their highest levels of success and achievement.
