A few years ago I read a book that totally changed the way I think about the mind. I read it many times after, and I am equally amazed by the truth it tells.
Written over 50 years ago by Dr. Joseph Murphy, this is you should read to get to know yourself better, to connect with yourself on a deeper level, and to learn how your subconscious mind leads your life if you let it “unattended.”
I love learning, and books have been my friends ever since I was a little girl. They say “when the student is ready, the teacher will appear.”
When I found this book, more than four years ago, I was restless. I wanted a different life and I wanted to make a change, but I didn’t know where to start or what to do. Plus I was scared. What if it didn’t work out?
That’s when this book came into my life. I don’t even remember how I found it. More likely it found me. I can only say it gave me the confidence to follow my gut and make my dreams come true.
We learn (or should learn) from everything and everyone around us, It’s up to us to spot an opportunity and learn from it.
People, usually, want a fast solution to not only their current problems but to everything.
What I can tell you for sure is this book is exactly NOT that. This book shows you how your mind works, how you can improve your life and live the life you want if you dare.
You are taught by our parents, teachers, society, that the key to all your problems should be found on the outside and therefore, you should look for a solution somewhere out there.
But the truth is life does not happen to us, we happen to life.
Every physics teacher will tell you our world is made of energy. We are made of energy. Consciously or not we attract all that happens in our lives, good or bad.
Pretty tough to grasp, right? Now you can’t blame anybody else for your problems, can you? You have to take responsibility for your actions and thoughts.
How Come?
Our thoughts lead our lives.
You can find examples in everyday life when you wake up grumpy and have a bad day. That day is not bad, you simply focus on the bad things happening, you attach a feeling to them, so more of that comes to you.
The same is true when you are happy. You meet only nice people, everything goes smoothly and you accomplish all you want. And even if things don’t go the way you want, you see the positive side of it and learn from it.
Those are not random occurrences, they come to you because you passed a thought and a feeling to your subconscious mind and your subconscious mind fulfills your orders. Simple as that!
Why The Power of Your Subconscious Mind?
Because it’s time to understand and take responsibility for all that happens in your life. So often, we blame the government, the weather, the traffic, the boss, the colleagues. It’s everybody else’s fault, but ours.
Well, I have news for you: everything that happens to you (good or bad) is the result of your past thoughts! Your current reality is here because at one point in the past you thought about it.
Yes, you brought those experiences into your life without knowing: when you complained about one thing or another, when you were envious of your colleague’s achievement, when you were happy for your friend.
All those thoughts stayed in your subconscious mind, which understood you want that kind of experiences in your life, so it brought them to you.
When I started reading this book, I was surprised that all the examples the author mentions are from more than a half-century ago. I didn’t understand it and started digging. I read about him and his life while continuing reading the book.
It seems unbelievable that ever since it’s creation, the humanity was preoccupied with the human mind and how it works.
Dr. Joseph Murphy explains throughout the book how priests and clairvoyants of ancient times “played” with people’s subconscious mind producing the so-called “miracles.”
And more important, he explains, how you can use your subconscious mind to achieve what you want and live the life you always dreamed of.
This is not a book about the law of attraction. This is a book where you learn how your mind works and how to put into practice what you learn to have everything you want.
You learn how important sleep is to achieve what you want and thrive. You heard that before, right?!
But more importantly, you learn how to use your subconscious mind to remove mental blocks, to remove fear from your life, how to forgive yourself and others to have harmonious relationships.
Nowadays, we’ve come to realize how important it is to be happy and live a happy life. We want more free time to spend with our families and friends.
Life is too short and, if you’re not careful, it slips through your hands. But happiness is a journey, not a destination. You have to learn to enjoy it all the way.
You have the opportunity to change your life today. Read and apply the teachings in this book.
The whole book is really interesting and mind-blowing. What stuck with me ever since I first read it was this,
It’s normal to be healthy, vital and strong, it’s abnormal to be sick.
If you dare to read this book, I’d love to hear from you. How do you like it?
P.S: I’m reading it again. 😉
