In 2014, I went through a period of depression. Once, the path ahead was obvious. Suddenly, that path disappeared and I could no longer see what was ahead. I cried out to God, but to no avail. My prayers kept hitting the ceiling. And, in retrospect, I feel it was my false ideas of the divine that were responsible for my bouts of depression. If you are in a tough spot in your life. Take this book, really study it, follow and practice, every night, it's true meaning of what you have read. You can interfere with the normal rhythm of your heart, lungs, and other organs by worry, anxiety, and fear. Feed your subconscious with thoughts of harmony, health, and peace, and all the functions of your body will become normal again.”– Joseph Murphy As a reader of success books, I felt compelled to read the works by Joseph Murphy. As with many of this genre of books, there are religious elements throughout. The key for any religion reading these books(I am a Christian) is not to suspend your core beliefs but use them as the foundation for what you are reading.

Watch what you say. You have to account for every idle word. Never say, “I will fail; I will lose my job; I can’t pay the rent.” Your subconscious cannot take a joke. It brings all these things to pass.”– Joseph Murphy Deposit thoughts of prosperity, wealth, and success in your subconscious mind, and the latter will give you compound interest.”– Joseph Murphy He tells us we should never underestimate the powers of personally affirming God to be our instant and everlasting supply that never fails. There is a miraculous healing power in your subconscious that can heal the troubled mind and the broken heart. It can open the prison door of the mind and liberate you. It can free you from all kinds of material and physical bondage.”– Joseph Murphy

The Curse Of Knowledge: How To Avoid Sabotaging Your Success

That being said, the overall delivery of the book was a bit off. It's heavily religious, with plenty of references to God and bible verses. The chapter on marriage was a bit of a tough one for me because it's all about praying with your husband/wife and there's zero consideration of atypical unions. That bothered me a lot, particularly with our country set to vote to give homosexuals the same marriage rights as heterosexuals. It's pretty important to me that their rights be recognised by society, so this chapter was a bit of salt in the wound. All of us have our own inner fears, beliefs, opinions. These inner assumptions rule and govern our lives. A suggestion has no power in and of itself, its power arises from the fact that you accept it mentally.”– Joseph Murphy

I'm still confused how should I rate this book. I don't read non-fiction much. This book had intrigued me from a psychological point of view. 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.Can we be healed by any other means? According to Murphy, no. Faith is the universal healing principle. Of course, I don’t think he would discount the importance of medicine and other orthodox cures, but I have to guess that in this case he is referring to instances of healing that have occurred in so-called “healing services”, churches, or religious gatherings. 4. Prayers Are Answered Scientifically The subconscious mind of the universe is one, wait what!? No! It's your own actions that are caused as a result of the subconscious or maybe even the conscious decisions towards a goal that makes things come to pass and not others'.

I am aware that subconsciousness is a very powerful tool, and can influence our lives on so many levels. But this book, which I didn't dare to shelve as a non-fiction reading, can do much harm. Generally, while reading this book, I couldn't help but think of 'History of Wolves' by Emily Fridlund. You can summarize the content with 'If you got what you desired, you grasped the idea correct. If not, you didn't try hard enough. You are at fault here for not giving in all your might to the power of subconscious mind / god / Cthulhu / whatever'.

The 5 By 5 Rule To Reduce Stress, Anxiety And Worry

I am healed. I feel wonderful. I’ve had instantaneous healing. I am transformed. Wealth and Abundance Affirmations by Joseph Murphy I’m not saying this to brag or anything. Just want to show you the power of words and how a few words at the end of your affirmations can change your subconscious beliefs and, therefore, your whole reality! And so, they get started on the Law of Attraction and treat it as something that is outside of themselves. If you are a strong believer of God and have infinite faith this might be just the perfect book for you.

Your prayer is answered according to the universal law of action and reaction. Thought is incipient action. The reaction is the response from your subconscious mind which corresponds with the nature of your thought. Busy your mind with the concepts of harmony, health, peace, and good will, and wonders will happen in your life.”– Joseph Murphy But remember…you always have the power of the Present Moment. And you can use it to change your beliefs and your situation. Now, I’m not judging because I have been there as well. And so, I tried different methods, hoping they would help. But nothing worked. I kept manifesting more and more negativity. I will start off by saying that I don’t believe in a good amount of the stories, such as a dude getting his arm ripped off, and poof, his daughter’s incurable disease has been cured. Nor do I know if asking for the perfect person and then just coincidence run into them or if you primed yourself to believe that the next person, who basically fits what you asked for, is “the one.” So in summary on the negative portion, total bs on sending messages through the ether for an desired outcome. Not sorry. Also the book gets wildly repetitive. The length of the book could be a third if they just ripped all that out.

Money flows to me in avalanches of abundance. I use it for good only, and I am grateful for my good and for the riches of my mind.” Do you believe that is really the truth, doctors are only treating, not curing. I believe the elderly are being slowing killed off, by brainwashing patients with treatments only, not curing you of your problems. Reprogram your mind to think clearly, then do something to change it. Read this book, to learn how to change your life. Repeat the following affirmation for five minutes night and morning: I am now writing in my subconscious mind the idea of God’s wealth. God is the Source of my supply, and all my needs are met at every moment of time and point of space. God’s wealth flows freely, joyously, and ceaselessly into my experience, and I give thanks for God’s riches forever circulating in my experience. Murphy also gives us a valuable exercise we can do which will bring us love and riches. (It also healed one of his clients of tuberculosis.) For every person you pass, affirm “God’s love fills your soul. The riches of God are yours now.” Your positive manifestation subconscious mind muscle, and it can hurt a bit. It’s like going to the gym or getting started on any kind of physical training. It feels weird, even painful, and uncomfortable at first.
