This was recommended by a friend. A close one. Again, I don’t know how he became close. The author’s name is Joseph Murphy. And this guy is a good writer. Well, it took me a total of 4 days 23hrs and 20 minutes to finish this. I actually wrote the date and time when I started reading this Book. And when I finished this book, I called this close friend of mine. He didn’t pick up in the first ring and after some hours he called me back and we talked for like 40 minutes, which was a lot to me. But bonding felt good. Now to the review.
THE OVERVIEW.
There are exactly 220 pages in the book I have. A total of 21 chapters including the one page ‘the end’ at the last page, page no. 220. Okay, so this was a great book. All of the chapters are so filled with examples of how people used their Subconscious mind to do what they needed. Examples of people the author himself met and the best part of this book is that, nearing the end of chapter there are Highlights. Highlights are sometimes with different names like ‘Points to keep in mind’, ‘Ideas worth remembering’, etc. All summed in some points like a list. And of course, there are my end notes with the date and time after I finish each chapter. But now let’s dive deep into the infinite.
SHOCKED.
If you think that there are two minds inside of us. You are wrong. There are just two spheres of activity within one mind. The conscious mind and the subconscious mind, the objective mind and the subjective mind, the voluntary mind and involuntary mind, the surface self and the deep self, etc. they are known as different names. At first when I started reading this book. I had no idea about my subconscious mind which had infinite knowledge, intelligence and wisdom. And I was shocked to read the examples which I read in the first few chapters. Examples of finding lost family heirlooms out of nowhere, example of formation of symbol of benzene, examples of other extraordinary discovery of things. Out of nowhere. There is that guy inside our head which controls all these. And all of us should definitely be aware of this one.
THE CONSCIOUS ONE.
Well, this is one which we use generally for literally everything external. The conscious mind is the ‘watchman of the gate’ and its chief function is to protect your subconscious mind from false impressions. Why? Because the subconscious mind is like the soil in which your chosen seeds of though will germinate. And don’t worry, it is like the soil, which accepts any kind of seed, good or bad; and it will germinate the seeds just like it is. The subconscious mind doesn’t have the ability of differentiation. The conscious one has. It does have this mind and it has freedom to choose, which must be used wisely. The conscious mind is sometimes referred to as your objective mind because it deals with outward objects. And what you believe is who you become.
THE LAW OF YOUR MIND.
It’s simple. You will get a reaction or response from your subconscious mind according to the nature of the thought or idea you hold in your conscious mind. Your thought is the action and the response is the reaction. There are many laws of the mind. One of the basic ones is: your subconscious mind is amenable to suggestion. The subconscious mind does not make comparisons, or contrasts, neither does it reason and think things out for itself. It doesn’t argue with you. It can’t take a joke. It takes you at your word. And hence, your words to yourself are of crucial importance. A modification of Jim Kwik’s quote: YOUR EXTERNAL WORDS BECOME YOUR INTERNAL WORDS.
THE INFINITE.
Your subconscious mind is the one with Infinite Intelligence and infinite wisdom. And its tendency is always lifeward. You have the freedom to choose and trust me that’s the greatest power. The only power is the movement of your own thought. And the subconscious mind is right there beside you to give you suggestions which are gonna lead you to your own greater good. Well, Joseph is very religious and the book is filled with bible quotes. The most common throughout the book is: According to your belief is it done unto you (MATT. 9:29).What you choose to believe gets communicated through your thoughts and all those are impregnated into your subconscious mind bit-by-bit. Your subconscious mind controls all the vital processes of your body and knows the answer to all problems. Trust it. It does have connection with the infinite intelligence after all. :)
HEALINGS.
There is so much evidence throughout history with the healings of your subconscious mind that Joseph himself devoted two chapters in this book to it. Whenever there is a cut or wound in your body, the subconscious mind sends its messengers to cure it. The mind is the healer. THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND IS THE HEALER. Your subconscious mind is constantly amenable to the power of suggestion. And there are cases from as extreme as curing of ulcers and paralysis. Actually, diseases don’t ultimately exist. The cause of the disease is in the mind. And hence, the healing of the disease also takes place in the mind. As the saying goes, “The doctor dresses the wound, but God heals it.”
FALL ASLEEP.
The belief of your mind is simply the thought of your mind. And hence, it is a little easy to impregnate your subconscious mind with a particular thought or problem. The best way given in the book is by making yourself fall asleep by repeatedly talking of the problem. Because when you are relaxed, the resistance is the least. The subconscious mind never stops working and hence, don’t worry about him. There are many evidences where, praying continuously until you fall asleep has resulted in the success of the desired. And all in all, this is a great way to go where you want in your life.
VERBALIZE.
The word “verbalize” hasn’t been used in the entire book. But it is exactly what people have done in order to put something inside their subconscious mind. Joseph says that we can assign various tasks to our subconscious mind, like finding something, helping us solve a problem or simply wake up early. For waking up early, you have to lull yourself to sleep by repeated saying the time you want to wake and visualize waking up at that time. Visualize is another thing which you need to do. The clearer and more vivid the picture you make inside your mind, the easier it gets for the subconscious mind to make it a reality. But an important thing to mention is that there should not be any conflict between your intuition and the one thing you want to do. The law of reversed effort is going to take place. The law is: When your desires and imagination are in conflict, your imagination invariably gains the day. Your subconscious is always controlled by the dominant idea.
AFFIRMATIONS.
The best time to impregnate your subconscious is prior to sleep. And I have personally tried to wake up early by repeating giving the job of waking me up in the morning to my subconscious mind. Your affirmation succeeds best when it is specific and when it doesn’t produce a mental conflict or argument. Your subconscious accepts what you really feel to be true. And sometimes just screamed it out loud, it feels good. Getting wealthy by repeating saying the word, ‘Wealth – Success’ in the day in the good affirmative way. Another thing you can try to say is, ‘By day and by night I’m being prospered in all of my interests.’ What you consciously affirm, you must not mentally deny a few moments later. This will neutralize the good you have affirmed. All of it will result in your DESIRED REALITY. Your thoughts affect your reality more than reality affects our thoughts. And hence my logo of Thoughts & Realizations.
HOW I SCREAMED.
“The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind reveals me to my true place in life.” That’s my line when I ask for guidance from now on. So, yesterday I feared that my laptop wouldn’t get repaired. And I thought bad things and worse things. Then I realized that if I think bad, it would be bad. Hence, when I was on my way to get my laptop, I screamed while on cycle “I AM GUIDED BY MY INFINITE INTELLIGENCE OF MY SUBCONSCIOUS MIND. NOTHING CAN FUCKING GO WRONG.” And it felt amazing. And nothing actually went wrong. They returned me my laptop and I’m writing this now on this one-day repaired. I have praying on my own. And it’s pretty pleasant. You should make your own prayer line, be relaxed and then, say it. Believe it and visualize it while saying it. You would be shocked by the results.
THE POWER.
There is a different power in our subconscious mind. You have to feel it. Be relaxed and poised and feel it. Believe in it like you believe yourself. Try to be choosy with what you put in our head. Because your mind is a powerful place and what you are gonna feed it, is gonna affect it in a powerful way. The one with the infinite intelligence, wisdom and knowledge shouldn’t be underestimated. In the end, the best part is that it helps in creating the reality you wish, if you believe hard in it. It will show you your way. And this reality is truly REAL.
PS I thought I would write an email to Joseph Murphy about how awesome his book is and also to get some tips about my affirmations… I learnt that he DIED in 1981…
