'The Power of Your Subconscious Mind' helped me to pass a personal life crisis more than twenty years ago, and it also helped me to remain on a path of personal growth for the years to come, after this profound transformation.
I was then trying to open a conduit toward others, by teaching the method in a way that is both comprehensive and backed up by neuroscience, consciousness research and cutting-edge research on the quantum field. I came to call the technique ‘Creative Prayer.’ I found that my previous work on healing my inner child and generally, to practice a form of inner dialogue had opened to me a door to my inner life.
Dr. Murphy properly explains the laws of the mind; he also gives brilliant examples from his long career as a public authority on the science of mind. In this role, he received much mail from the public, and was talking to innumerable people in many countries, and this not over years, but over decades. This is how he could collect so many intriguing personal stories, which he relates in his books.
Now, the next step is to get to know how the conscious and the unconscious interact with one another. The same is true for the relationship between our intellect and our emotions. Here, too, we must strive for balance, and integration. As Murphy says ‘Motion and Emotion must balance.’ We are often torn up by our frustrations which are of course due to our unfulfilled desires.
Another important question that comes up in this context is how faith effects miracles, and what faith actually is? Murphy explains it in a very simple and comprehensive manner: it’s the fact to accept as true what is desired.
Now, it’s only logical that when you can hypnotize your subconscious into healing, you can also hypnotize it into sickness. The latter is the pitfall of belief, and unfortunately most people in fact unconsciously use the law of belief, but in the wrong, negative, way, in that they affirm constantly their aches, their weaknesses, their illnesses. What is important as well is how to pray, and Murphy calls it ‘the science and art of true prayer.’ He explains that his technique is one of personal prayer, not the group prayer that is part of religious ritual, and that belongs to various religious cults.
Research on hypnosis has shown that our mind can bring about every condition that is ‘suggested’ to it by the means of hypnosis. When you are for example given the suggestion to develop a blister on your arm because a burning hot iron touches it, you will develop that blister despite the fact that the hypnotist has just put a book against your arm. But your inner mind, your subconscious, has taken it for real as it cannot distinguish what is real and what is not. That is why Murphy is correct in warning us to be very careful about suggestions: after all our publicity knows to profitably use these laws of the mind!
This means that you should keep your mind as clean and pristine as possible: refuse negative suggestions coming from your environment and from negative people around you, and program yourself firmly to be and remain positive: then nothing can defeat you. Why? Because life itself is positive, it’s endlessly healing, repairing and evolving, co-evolving with all that is. So can you!
When you realize that, you become aware of how important it is to clear our memory surface from all patterns of the past, especially negative experiences, and to make a clear slate every day. It’s like to be reborn into a new life when we wake up from sleep and feel refreshed.
The essential about scientific prayer, to summarize this review, is to set aside conditions, temperamental states, events and opinion in order to impregnate your subconscious mind with clear and bright statements—also called declarations—that the subconscious will bring to pass as outer reality. This process is to be repeated on a daily basis as the change of our cognitive interface, the neuronet in our brain, is a gradual process.
This is why persistence is necessary in practicing positive affirmations. When this is done in a systematic fashion, positive thought is built which again is formed into positive habits. For example, happiness is such a habit, it’s really a habit, while not many people may see it that way.
