Joseph Murphy’s book “The Power of the Subconscious Mind” is one of the most powerful source books on the subconscious. In his book, the author explains in detail how we should think, suggestions and methods by touching on the subjects of health, happiness and money, while conveying the basic information about the subconscious. We have compiled the highlights of the book for you.
The best way to recognize the function of your mind is to think of it as a garden. You are the gardener of this garden and plant seeds (thoughts) in your subconscious throughout the day based on the patterns you are used to. You will reap what you sow in your subconscious mind, in your body or around you. So start thinking about peace, happiness, right decision, goodness and abundance right away.
The vine draws its lineage. You believe that when you plant a certain type of seed in the soil, a plant of that type will emerge from the soil. Such is the law of nature. The seed in this proverb is your thoughts. The growing plant is the expression in your subconscious.
When sending suggestions to your subconscious mind, you should be very careful that they are in the direction of healing, elevation and success. Remember; your subconscious mind does not understand the joke. Whatever you say it will do.
Your subconscious mind does not fight you, argue with you, or go against your words. Whatever you tell him, he will do.
When you seek a solution to a problem, your subconscious will answer you; but it expects you to make a decision and make a judgment with your conscious mind.
You have the power to choose. So choose health and happiness. You can choose friendship or enmity. You choose to be cooperative, cheerful, friendly, and loving, and the whole world will respond to you. This is the best way to develop a wonderful personality.
All disappointments come from unfulfilled desires. If you are obsessed with obstacles, delays and difficulties, your subconscious mind will respond accordingly and hinder your own well-being.
Imagine that what you desire is a positive outcome, and feel it with your whole body that it is real. Believe that you will get it, better know it.
Do not talk about your ailments, do not focus on it. The only source they feed on is your fears and the attention you will show them. Your thoughts should only affirm. But if you deny something, you are actually affirming the existence of what you are denying.
The subconscious is in favor of life. Subconscious processes are always life-oriented and constructive. The subconscious is the place of eternal life and unlimited wisdom; his impulses and ideas are always relevant to life. The subconscious always works to be good.
Scientists tell us that we build a new body every eleven months; so from a physical point of view you are now only eleven months old.
You can avoid negative thoughts and images if you wish. The way out of darkness is to step out into the light; the way to avoid the cold is to find the warmth; The way to get rid of negative thoughts is to replace them with good thoughts. One can only think of one thing at a time, if you think of good things, there will be no room for bad thoughts.
Being sick is abnormal; it means you are thinking negatively and swimming against the current of life. The law of life is the law of development; the functioning of nature expresses itself according to the law of development, silently confirming this law. Where there is growth and expression, there is life; Where there is life there must be harmony, and where there is harmony there is perfect health. Starting from this, we can argue that normal conditions can be maintained with much greater ease than abnormal conditions.
Ways to Get the Results You Want
• You should have a specific, clear idea in your head. You must have decided that there is a solution to the problem that is bothering you, that there is a way out.
• While using your subconscious, don’t let any interference get in the way and don’t use your will power.
• Forcing has the opposite effect. If your desires and imagination are in conflict with each other, your imagination will surely win. Your subconscious mind will accept the strongest of the two contradictory propositions. It is best to do this without forcing.
• The best time to load your subconscious mind with a new thought is just before you fall asleep and right after you wake up.
• Having wealth consists of convincing one’s own subconscious. Convince yourself that you are worthy of making a lot of money.
The riches I have are increasing day by day and night.
• If you are filled with fear and anxiety about the future, you are signing a blank check here as well, thus attracting negative conditions.
• Don’t get impatient to get the results you expect and don’t get caught in negative thoughts. After all, some time must pass for the seed planted in the ground to take root and grow.
• Do not criticize rich people and feel anger and resentment towards them. This will make you feel poverty. You are rich, remember that.
• Jealousy and envy are shackles that prevent wealth from flowing to you. Be happy with what others have achieved.
• Trying to get wealth by sweating and working hard is one way to become the richest man in the cemetery. You don’t have to fight and work like a slave.
• Your true source of wealth consists of the ideas in your mind. You may have an idea worth millions of dollars. Your subconscious will find you the idea you are looking for.
• Poverty has no virtue. This is a mental illness and you must get rid of this mind conflict as soon as possible.
I like money. I use it wisely, constructively and judiciously. I happily let it go and it comes back to me exponentially.
I know that my subconscious mind is the memory store. So much so that it holds everything I listen to and read. I have an excellent memory and unlimited intelligence in my subconscious gives me everything I need in written and oral exams.
• The seller asks himself: “Imagine you sold the house, what would you do then?” He answers the question to himself as follows; “I would remove that sign (for sale from the owner) and throw it in the garage” He dreamed of holding that sign, pulling it out of the ground, placing it on his shoulder, going to the garage and dropping it on the ground.
• Never forget, what you are always looking for is also constantly calling you.
If you want to be guided by your subconscious, here is the best and simplest way; Call your subconscious before you fall asleep. Do you want to solve a problem or find something lost? Focus all your attention on the solution and think about how happy you will be when you reach the solution and live the way you feel. Then fall asleep. (if it’s something missing, fall asleep saying “you know everything and now you’re explaining to me where it is”).
My toes are relaxed, my feet are relaxed, my legs and muscles are relaxed, I am filled with light up my body, this light brings me peace and relaxation, it covers my whole body and I feel my head filled with light, my whole mind and body relax. I am at peace, relaxed and calm. I feel the presence of an eternal light inside me. I leave myself in the embrace of love and fill me with goodness and beauty. This peace accompanies me throughout the night. I wake up to the day filled with love and peace until the morning.
I open my eyes to the morning and the day as peaceful and relaxed. I choose today as the best day of my life. Today is a great day for me. I start the day with virtue and happiness under his guidance. My mind is in balance, peace and harmony.
A young man asked Socrates how he could become wise. Socrates took him to the edge of a river and dipped his head in the water, kept it under water until it fluttered, and then let it go. He asked the young man who came to his senses; “What did you want most when you were underwater?”; “I wanted to breathe,” the young man replied. Thereupon Socrates said: “If you want to be wise as much as you want to breathe while your head is under water, you can reach it.”
Let’s say you are afraid of water, closed places or public speaking. If you are afraid of swimming, imagine sitting down and swimming for five to ten minutes, three or four times a day from now on. In fact, you are mentally swimming in that moment. Mentally, you see and feel yourself in water. You feel the coldness of the water, your arms and legs moving. This image before your eyes is extremely vivid, real and gives you great pleasure. What you imagine will take place in your subconscious.
