Excerpts from The Power of Your Subconcious Mind by Joseph Murphy
The great secret possessed by the great men of all ages was their ability to contact and release the powers of their subconscious mind. You can do the same.
Your subconcious mind is the builder of your body and can heal you. Lull yourself to sleep every night with the idea of perfect health, and your subconscious, being your faithful servant, will obey you.
Every thought is a cause, and every condition is an effect.
You are like a captain navigating a ship. He must give the right orders, and likewise, you must give the right orders (thoughts and images) to your subconscious mind, which controls and governs all your experiences.
Never use the terms, "I can't afford it" or "I can't do this." Your subconscious mind takes you at your word and sees to it that you do not have the money or the ability to do what you want to do. Affirm, "I can do all things through the power of my subconscious mind."
The law of life is the law of belief. A belief is a thought in your mind. Do not believe in things to harm or hurt you. Believe in the power of your subconcious to heal, inspire, strengthen, and prosper you. According to your belief is it done unto you.
Change your thoughts, and you change your destiny.
Infinite intelligence leads and guides me in all my ways. Perfect health is mine, and the Law of Harmony operates in my mind and body. Beauty, love, peace, and abundance are mine. The principle of right action and divine order govern my entire life. I know my major premise is based on the eternal truths of life, and I know, feel, believe that my subconcious mind responds according to the nature of my conscious mind thinking.
You have the power to choose. Choose health and happiness. You can choose to be friendly, or you can choose to be unfriendly. Choose to be cooperative, joyous, friendly, lovable, and the whole world will respond. This is the best way to develop a wonderful personality.
Your concious mind is the "watchman at the gate." Its chief function is to protect your subconscious mind from false impressions. Choose to believe that something good can happen and is happening now. Your greatest power is your capacity to choose. Choose happiness and abundance.
The suggestions and statements of others have no power to hurt you. The only power is the movement of your own thoughts. You can choose to reject the thoughts or statements of others and affirm the good. You have the power to choose how you will react.
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 subconcious cannot take a joke. It brings all these things to pass.
Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. It depends how you use the powers of nature. Use your mind to bless, heal, and inspire all people everywhere.
Never say "I can't." Overcome that fear by substituting the following, "I can do all things through the power of my own subconcious mind."
Begin to think from the standpoint of eternal truths and principles of life and not from the standpoint of fear, ignorance, and superstition. Do not let others do your thinking for you. Choose your own thoughts and make your own decisions.
You are the captain of your soul (subconcious mind) and the master of your fate. Remember, you have the capacity to choose. Choose life! Choose love! Choose health! Choose happiness!
Whatever your conscious mind assumes and believes to be true, your subconscious mind will accept and bring to pass. Believe in good fortune, divine guidance, right action, and all the blessings of life.
My body and all its organs were created by the infinite intelligence in my subconscious mind. It knows how to heal me. Its wisdom fashioned all my organs, tissues, muscles, and bones. This infinite healing presence within me is now transforming every atom of my being making me whole and perfect now. I give thanks for the healing I know is taking place now. Wonderful are the works of the creative intelligence within me.
The perfection of God is now being expressed through me. The idea of perfect health is now filling my subconscious mind. The image God has of me is a perfect image, and my subconscious mind recreates my body in perfect accordance with the perfect image held in the mind of God.
Prior to sleep, turn over a specific request to your subconscious mind and prove its miracle-working power to yourself.
All frustration is due to unfulfilled desires. If you dwell on obstacles, delays, and difficulties, your subconscious mind responds accordingly, and you are blocking your own good.
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.
Know that faith is like a seed planted in the ground; it grows after its kind. Plant the idea (seed) in your mind, water and fertilize it with expectancy, and it will manifest.
lIn praying for another, know that your silent inner knowing of wholeness, beauty, and perfection can change the negative patterns of the other's subconscious mind and bring about wonderful results.
All disease originates in the mind. Nothing appears on the body unless there is a mental pattern corresponding to it.
The symptoms of almost any disease can be induced in you by hypnotic suggestion. This shows you the power of your thought.
Generate electronic waves of harmony, health, and peace by thinking of the love and the glory of God.
Your subconcious is the builder of your body and is on the job 24 hours a day. You interfere with its life giving patterns by negative thinking.
You build a new body every eleven months. Change your body by changing your thoughts and keeping them changed.
It is normal to be healthy. It is abnormal to be ill. There is within the innate the principle of harmony.
Thoughts of jealousy, fear, worry, and anxiety tear down and destroy your nerves and glands bringing about mental and physical diseases of all kinds.
When your mind is relaxed and you accept an idea, your subconcious goes to work to execute the idea.
Think and plan independently of traditional methods. Know that there is always an answer and a solution to every problem.
