Napoleon Hill was right

A good self help booklet of my past was Think and Get Rich by Napoleon Hill. He advised to imagine several figures, each with its own personality and point of view, and maintain a virtual debate (all in one's mind) about what to do. Say, I visualize my virtual advisers or "ascended masters" as Mel Brooks (pic), Victor Davis Hanson, my friend Pablito Kahan, Soros Gyuri, my dear Mother, etc. each one offering their personal point of view.  

Now I read a paper evaluating the effectivity of this method, which resembles the mind of machine learning, and it works! Source.
