The Link Between the Law of Attraction & The Subconscious; How Science Supports Metaphysical Truth

The beautiful thing about Dr. Murphy's books and writing is that he is able to present so many different and enlightening illustrations of ONE TRUTH that he gets his point across so effectively to so many different people. For instance, some people may conceive of the number "6" as being "5 +1", others "3+3", others "4 +2", still others "8-2", etc, etc, etc. The fact is that all those numbers represent the "truth" of the concept of 6, but depending on your reference point, it's easier for one person to "get" the idea of "3+3" than it is "8-2" or "4+2" and so on. Dr. Murphy presents the truth from religious, metaphysical, psychological, philosophical and scientific perspectives. So, depending on how your mind is oriented, one can grasp the truth from an illustration that is easy for one not just to UNDERSTAND but also to BELIEVE and have faith in that it will work. For instance, Dr. Murphy's essential theme throughout all his books is that thought is creative. He states that images and emotionalized thoughts (what you REALLY believe and accept as true) are the kinds of thoughts that reach the subconscious mind. The subconscious has the ability to attract the physical equivalent of those thoughts and images. For anyone who has recently become aware of the idea of the Law of Attraction and may wonder how Dr. Murphy's writing fits into this, he articulates (albeit subtlety) that the subconscious mind controls your vibration. The Law of Attraction is not just the "Law of Attraction" but really the "Law of Attraction & Vibration". It states that everything in the Universe is energy (if you are religious or spiritual, Dr. Murphy writes in his book the Cosmic Energizer - written in 1974! - that "energy" is just science's term for "spirit"). The laws of physics state that: 1) everything is energy and this energy: a) constantly vibrates b) is electromagnetic meaning attracts and is attracted to things that are on the same wavelength or are in resonance with it c) is interchangeable d) is interconvertible e) is reversible -(ex. electricity produces magnetism, magnetism produces electricity, motion produces heat, heat produces motion, etc., etc.) The subconscious mind controls the vibration that your mind and body is in and thus manifests your thought into its physical equivalent -whether that thought is a person [ideal relationship], place [where you want to be vs. where you are now] or thing [a different body, a job, more money, etc.] What you a) REALLY believe (i.e. what you have faith in....faith is nothing more than a thought in your mind that you are emotionally attached) and what you b) imagine vividly make their way to your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind then has the ability to change your vibration such that you attract the physical equivalent of what you imagine and/or feel as true. This is the law! This is why he emphasizes affirmations and visualizations. When you stats something enough times (an affirmation) you come

The Law Is Yours to Use

I have always been a hard worker, yet this did not seem to be enough. I was intelligent and industrious, but I seemed just to work harder all the time. Then I discovered (through Joseph Murphy) that the fault was in my thinking. I was, in fact, subscribing to the "expect the worst, and then maybe it won't happen" thinking. This is not a good way to think, because the laws of mind are creative. Just like chemistry, the laws of mind are impersonal and can be used by anyone incorrectly or correctly. If you are experiencing problems in life (and who doesn't), you may be like I am -- very impatient to get everything on track. It was especially maddening for me to read of other people whose results seemed to come so quickly. Still, I have had quite good results with Dr. Murphy's approach, although in most cases they were not instant results. My work environment has become much less stressful and my repoire with coworkers has improved. My boss recommended me for a salary increase. Outside of work, I have also accomplished a number of things I always wanted to do. Plus, I have discovered that indigestion can be largely eliminated by positive thinking ... earlier, I would have laughed to scorn anyone who told me this. Indeed, I expected no improvement in that area at all. It was a mere by-product. But I am sure you can agree that with by-products like that, Joseph Murphy's books are worth reading.

Excellent guidebook for life

I love this author and am pleased to report that this is one of his best books, on a par with his classic ?Power of your Subconscious Mind.? It explains the difference between the conscious and subconscious mind and how the two work together to create the reality of the individual. As in Murphy?s other books, examples are given of how people overcame problems or manifested their desires by changing their minds through belief, affirmation and visualization. The chapters deal with healing, prayer, becoming spiritual-minded, the creativity of thought, the meaning of evil, the meaning of life, controlling one?s fears, the power of suggestion and marriage, sex and divorce. In his very readable and engaging style, the author teaches us how to use both phases of the mind synchronously, harmoniously and peacefully in order to bring harmony, health and abundance into our lives. He also explains that Biblical statements are parables, allegories, metaphors, similes and cryptic statements, and are thus not to be taken literally. The main message is that we are all children of the infinite, born to win, and to live in the joyous expectancy of the best. In Murphy?s own words ?Begin to see tongues in trees, sermons in stones, songs in running brooks, and God in everything.?

It changed my life completly.

I don't really need to say anything, the book says it all. I realize I have been living a lie, with full of fears and wrong thoughts. I really thank Joseph Murphy for writing all this amasing books. I really like how he talks about changing your life and your environment, by changing your everyday thinking. I don't think there has been an author that I will like to meet very much. If you ever read this Mr Joseph Murphy please E-mail me I would love to talk to you.
