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 books present various examples of people from different walks of life, who have tapped into the power of the subconscious and found themselves a better life, some who have even cured themselves of diseases. In accordance with many other spiritual teachings, Murphy infers that the accumulation of wealth should be a by-product of other, more nurturing and fundamental activities. The Three Steps to Success Love Your Work 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’s full of fear and doubt.

This is reminiscent of the Henry Ford quote, “Whether you think you can, or you think you can’t – you’re right.” By painting the picture “as if it were alive” creates the kind of mindset that believes the image is already a reality. 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 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.” There seems to be a peculiar, mental, morbid streak in many people, whereby they seem to enjoy being miserable and sad.”

Success!

By proceeding with faith and confidence, ideas appear via hunches, intuitions or “as an inner silent awareness.” Specialise Even if not for that, though, it speaks to the power of the subconscious mind. You don’t need to go looking outside for the answers you seek – Murphy is saying – you can look inside, and pose questions to your subconscious. As I mentioned the book is full of such anecdotes. And in every single one of those anecdotes the person's life changes or they get what they want.

Murphy asserts that any method that moves you towards a mental state of expectancy will heal, promoting visualisation as perhaps the most effective method. If you want to write a book, write a wonderful play, give a better talk to your audience, convey the idea lovingly and feelingly to your subconscious mind, and it will respond accordingly.”

This statement makes perfect sense if you don’t have any problems with the idea that your subconscious mind = God. Murphy, Joseph (2010). Healing Power of Love. Bertrams Print On Demand. ISBN 978-1-4653-2903-5. OCLC 1124491240.

The antidote to this, he recommends, is self-observation, where our attention, rather than being fixed on externals, is directed inwards.Murphy was born in Ireland, the son of a private boy's school headmaster and raised a Roman Catholic. He studied for the priesthood and joined the Jesuits. In his twenties, an experience with healing prayer led him to leave the Jesuits and move to the United States, where he became a pharmacist in New York (having a degree in chemistry by that time). Here he attended the Church of the Healing Christ (part of the Church of Divine Science), where Emmet Fox had become minister in 1931. When you are seeking an answer to a problem, your subconscious will respond, but it expects you to come to a decision and to a true judgment in your conscious mind.” Murphy was a proponent of the New Thought movement. This movement was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries by many philosophers and deep thinkers who studied this phenomenon and preached, wrote, and practiced a new way of looking at life and obtaining desires. The only solution to everything according to this book is to leave it to god or as is so conveniently called "the subconscious mind" in this book. This book feels like the writer's trying to explain religion in a scientific way without actually giving any scientific explanations and/or even defying the laws of medicine at places!
