When I go into his studio now, the book in his book holder is The Hidden Power by Thomas Troward, which is open to the two pages he was studying. Many of the words are highlighted in yellow.
The Hidden Power was written long ago,
so the writing is less current than today's ideals. However, each page has a valuable lesson and is as relevant as ever.
I have no idea how long my father was
on those two pages, but it wasn't unusual for him to study the same page for months. He always took his time to make sure he fully understood a concept. That is a form of learning that takes extraordinary patience and persistence. But, because he studied this way, he had a depth of knowledge and an understanding that few have.
When Dad resonated with an author, he
would incorporate what he was studying until it became a part of his new paradigm. He was still doing this at the age of 87. Learning excited him; his curiosity was insatiable. That is a big part of what made him different and why he had such a large following. You could feel his passion, and when he taught, he communicated in a way that made the concepts easy to understand. It didn't matter where you lived, what culture you came from, or what language you spoke, Bob Proctor, like no other, got you excited about your life and the possibilities before you.
