| The Power Of Your Subconsciousness Mind, Joseph Murphy
1 The Treasure House Within You
Infinite riches are all around you if you will open your mental eyes and behold the
treasure house of infinity within you. There is a gold mine within you from which you
can extract everything you need to live life gloriously, joyously, and abundantly.
Many are sound asleep because they do not know about this gold mine of infinite
intelligence and boundless love within themselves. Whatever you want, you can draw
forth. A magnetized piece of steel will lift about twelve times its own weight, and if you
demagnetize this same piece of steel, it will not even lift a feather. Similarly, there are
two types of men. There is the magnetized man who is full of confidence and faith. He
knows that he is born to win and to succeed. Then, there is the type of man who is
demagnetized. He is full of fears and doubts. Opportunities come, and he says, “I might
fail; I might lose my money; people will laugh at me.” This type of 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.
The mast er secr et of the ages
What, in your opinion, is the master secret of the ages? The secret of atomic energy?
Thermonuclear energy? The neutron bomb? Interplanetary travel? No—not any of these.
Then, what is this master secret? Where can one find it, and how can it be contacted and
brought into action? The answer is extraordinarily simple. This secret is the marvelous,
miracle working power found in your own subconscious mind, the last place that most
people would seek it.
The marvelous power of your subconscious
You can bring into your life more power, more wealth, more health, more happiness, and
more joy by learning to contact and release the hidden power of your subconscious mind.
You need not acquire this power; you already possess it. But, you want to learn how to
use it; you want to understand it so that you can apply it in all departments of your life.
As you follow the simple techniques and processes set forth in this book, you can gain
the necessary knowledge and understanding. A new light can inspire you, and you can
generate a new force enabling you to realize your hopes and make all your dreams come
true. Decide now to make your life grander, greater, richer, and nobler than ever before.
Within your subconscious depths lie infinite wisdom, infinite power, and infinite supply
of all that is necessary, which is waiting for development and expression. Begin now to
recognize these potentialities of your deeper mind, and they will take form in the world
without.
The infinite intelligence within your subconscious mind can reveal to you everything you
need to know at every moment of time and point of space provided you are open-minded
and receptive. You can receive new thoughts and ideas enabling you to bring forth new
inventions, make new discoveries, or write books and plays. Moreover, the infinite
intelligence in your subconscious can impart to you wonderful kinds of knowledge of an
original nature. It can reveal to you and open the way for perfect expression and true
place in your life.
Through the wisdom of your subconscious mind you can attract the ideal companion, as
well as the right business associate or partner. It can find the right buyer for your home,
and provide you with all the money you need, and the financial freedom to be, to do, and
to go, as your heart desires.
It is your right to discover this inner world of thought, feeling, and power, of light, love,
and beauty. Though invisible, its forces are mighty. Within your subconscious mind you
will find the solution for every problem, and the cause for every effect. Because you can
draw out the hidden powers, you come into actual possession of the power and wisdom
necessary to move forward in abundance, security, joy, and dominion. I have seen the
power of the subconscious lift people up out of crippled states, making them whole, vital,
and strong once more, and free to go out into the world to experience happiness, health,
and joyous expression. There is a miraculous healing power in your subconscious that
can heal the troubled mind and the broken heart. It can open the prison door of the mind
and liberate you. It can free you from all kinds of material and physical bondage.
Necessity of a working basis
Substantial progress in any field of endeavor is impossible in the absence of a working
basis, which is universal in its application. You can become skilled in the operation of
your subconscious mind. You can practice its powers with a certainty of results in exact
proportion to your knowledge of its principles and to your application of them for definite
specific purposes and goals you wish to achieve.
Being a former chemist, I would like to point out that if you combine hydrogen and
oxygen in the proportions of two atoms of the former to one of the latter, water would be
the result. You are very familiar with the fact that one atom of oxygen and one atom of
carbon will produce carbon monoxide, a poisonous gas. But, if you add another atom of
oxygen, you will get carbon dioxide, a harmless gas, and so on throughout the vast realm
of chemical compounds.
You must not think that the principles of chemistry, physics, and mathematics differ from
the principles of your subconscious mind. Let us consider a generally accepted principle:
“Water seeks its own level.” This is a universal principle, which is applicable to water
everywhere.
Consider another principle: “Matter expands when heated.” This is true anywhere, at any
time, and under all circumstances. You can heat a piece of steel, and it will expand
regardless whether the steel is found in China, England, or India. It is a universal truth
that matter expands when heated. It is also a universal truth that whatever you impress on
your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as condition, experience, and
event.
Your prayer is answered because your subconscious mind is principle, and by principle I
mean the way a thing works. For example, the principle of electricity is that it works from
a higher to a lower potential. You do not change the principle of electricity when you use
it, but by cooperating with nature, you can bring forth marvelous inventions and
discoveries, which bless humanity in countless ways.
Your subconscious mind is principle and works according to the law of belief. You must
know what belief is, why it works, and how it works. Your Bible says in a simple, clear,
and beautiful way: Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be
thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things
which he saith shallcome to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. MARK 11:23.
The law of your mind is the law of belief. This means to believe in the way your mind
works, to believe in belief itself. The belief of your mind is the thought of your mind—
that is simple—just that and nothing else.
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.
Cease believing in the false beliefs, opinions, superstitions, and fears of mankind. Begin
to believe in the eternal verities and truths of life, which never change. Then, you will
move onward, upward, and Godward. Whoever reads this book and applies the principles
of the subconscious mind herein set forth; will be able to pray scientifically and
effectively for himself and for others. Your prayer is answered according to the universal
law of action and reaction. Thought is incipient action. The reaction is the response from
your subconscious mind which corresponds with the nature of your thought. Busy your
mind with the concepts of harmony, health, peace, and good will, and wonders will
happen in your life.|
The duality of mind
You have only one mind, but your mind possesses two distinctive characteristics. The
line of demarcation between the two is well known to all thinking men and women today.
The two functions of your mind are essentially unlike. Each is endowed with separate and
distinct attributes and powers. The nomenclature generally used to distinguish the two
functions of your mind is as follows: The objective and subjective mind, the conscious
and subconscious mind, the waking and sleeping mind, the surface self and the deep self,
the voluntary mind and the involuntary mind, the male and the female, and many other
terms. You will find the terms “conscious” and “subconscious” used to represent the dual
nature of your mind throughout this book.
The conscious and subconscious minds
An excellent way to get acquainted with the two functions of your mind is to look upon
your own mind as a garden. You are a gardener, and you are planting seeds (thoughts) in
your subconscious mind all day long, based on your habitual thinking. As you sow in
your subconscious mind, so shall you reap in your body and environment.
Begin now to sow thoughts of peace, happiness, right action, good will, and prosperity.
Think quietly and with interest on these qualities and accept them fully in your conscious
reasoning mind. Continue to plant these wonderful seeds (thoughts) in the garden of your
mind, and you will reap a glorious harvest. Your subconscious mind may be likened to
the soil, which will grow all kinds of seeds, good or bad. Do men gather grapes of thorns,
or figs of thistles? Every thought is, therefore, a cause, and every condition is an effect.
For this reason, it is essential that you take charge of your thoughts so as to bring forth
0nly desirable conditions.
When your mind thinks correctly, when you understand the truth, when the thoughts
deposited in your subconscious mind are constructive, harmonious, and peaceful, the
magic working power of your subconscious will respond and bring about harmonious
conditions, agreeable surroundings, and the best of everything. When you begin to
control your thought processes, you can apply the powers of your subconscious to any
problem or difficulty. In other words, you will actually be consciously cooperating
with the infinite power and omnipotent law, which governs all things. |
