There were also a LOT of examples/case studies, and for many of them I found myself becoming quite skeptical. Particularly when people who had never heard of the author were quoted as saying his phrases. There were also instances where a conclusion was left out and I couldn't help but question why. I'm sure there was a bit of literary license happening here but it bothered me that this wasn't disclosed. If anything, the entire book sheds light on how little attention and thought we give to our subconscious minds, and what fantastic tools they are in helping us achieve ends that we desire to see in our lives. 5. Don’t Compel Your Subconscious Mind To Accept Your Idea By Willpower The main issue for me was that, while the message in the book is quite clear and simple, Murphy repeated it ad infinitum. While some readers might appreciate the core message being repeated for effect, I found it a little unnecessary. He first draws on the examples of two types of people; that which he calls the magnetised man, who’s full of confidence and courage and the demagnetised man, who’s full of fear and doubt.Murphy, Joseph (1987).

Such identification simply makes the negative in your environment more noticeable and serves to attract more of the same into your life.Murphy asserts that any method that moves you towards a mental state of expectancy will heal, promoting visualisation as perhaps the most effective method. The answers may not come immediately, but your mind is always working on problems you submit to it even when you’re doing other things, and it will eventually present to you a workable solution. Forsuccess, like happiness, cannot be pursued; it must ensue, and it only does so as the unintended side-effect of one’s personal dedication to a cause greater than oneself or as the by-product of one’s surrender to a person other than oneself.” Summary: The Power of Your Subconscious Mind was written by a leading expert on the subject, Dr. Joseph Murphy. From my perspective, this book equates your subconscious mind with God, which is likely a different and challenging paradigm for some to accept. This post was last updated November 22, 2019.

However, we must first put aside any doubts or superstitions about money, as in the author’s words, what we condemn, we can never attract. Your thoughts and beliefs make real that which is in your mind, even prior to becoming tangible on an objective level. Murphy chose to become a minister and bring his broad knowledge to the public. As his concept of Christianity was not traditional and ran counter to many of the Christian denominations, he founded his own church in Los Angeles. He attracted a small number of congregants, but it did not take long for his message of optimism and hope rather than the “sin-and-damnation” sermons of so many ministers to attract many men and women to his church. Dr. Joseph Murphy explains that life events are actually the result of the workings of your conscious and subconscious minds. He suggests practical techniques through which one can change one's destiny, principally by focusing and redirecting this miraculous energy. Years of research studying the world's major religions convinced him that some Great Power lay behind all spiritual life and that this power is within each of us. When you are seeking an answer to a problem, your subconscious will respond, but it expects you to come to a decision and to a true judgment in your conscious mind.”For example, is that difficult person at work really obtuse or are they simply reflecting your own mental state?
