Are you a Law of Attraction Belieber?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If so, there’s a core theme in The Power of Your Subconscious Mind summary that might resonate with you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To be honest, I\u2019ve always been rather sceptical of the whole manifestation movement, and so it was with trepidation that I picked up this book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, Dr Murphy covers many psychological approaches that, since the book’s publication in 1963, continue to be preached today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you’re looking to shed negative or disempowering beliefs and need to some reassurance about the whole process, this little self-help classic might be just the ticket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s dive in.<\/p>\n\n\n

The Power of the Subconscious Mind Summary<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In the book, Murphy talks at length about the power (and underutilisation) of the subconscious mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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\u2019s full of fear and doubt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“[The magnetized] man will not get very far in life because, if he is afraid to go forward, he will simply stay where he is. Become a magnetized man and discover the master secret of the ages.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This, according to Murphy, is largely a conscious decision and we all have the power to decide the type of person we wish to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murphy asserts that the subconscious mind, which is responsible for success, is ultimately programmed by our thought and beliefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“All your experiences, events, conditions, and acts are the reactions of your subconscious mind to your thoughts. Remember, it is not the thing believed in, but the belief in your own mind, which brings about the result.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

In this way, he likens us to gardeners planting seeds of thought in our subconscious minds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When we sow positive thoughts, imbued with the vision of the person we wish to embody, we can \u201creap a glorious harvest.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thinking, he suggests, works by cause and effect and it\u2019s essential, therefore, that we take charge of our thoughts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When such thoughts are deposited in our subconscious mind, it will get to work, bringing “about harmonious conditions, agreeable surroundings, and the best of everything.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And here\u2019s a point that really resonates…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Murphy states that most of mankind lives in a \u201cworld without”, while more enlightened beings are immersed in the world within.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By focusing on our inner states, such as \u201cthought, feelings and imagery\u201d, we can influence our external reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In similarities to Maxwell Maltz in Psycho-Cybernetics<\/a>, Murphy infers that the subconscious mind simply follows the orders we consciously input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will, therefore, govern our reality impartially, depending on the information we feed it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

“Your subconscious mind is amenable to suggestion. As you know, your subconscious mind does not make comparisons, or contrasts, neither does it reason and think things out for itself. This latter function belongs to your conscious mind. It simply reacts to the impressions given to it by your conscious mind. It does not show a preference for one course of action over another.”<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n
