I absolutely loved this book. I had a dream I was reading about the subconscious mind and recalled the name of the author in my dream. When I realized the author was indeed real and also wrote extensively on the subject, I felt intrigued to know why my mind revealed this to me. Ive read dozens of books on the subjects for philosophy, physics, emotional intelligence, psychology, energy, science, metaphysics, quantum physics, of the super conscious mind and subconscious mind; but this book was like a gem and came in for less than a buck. Joseph Murphy explains in great detail what your subconscious mind is, how it works, how to use it, how it can work against you if you're not careful, and how to create the life you want. I was searching for answers regarding my intuitive gifts regarding clairvoyance, claircognizance, and on intuitive empathic abilities... but wanted to know of other ways to manage any psychic sensitivities I have towards others and mainly managing negativity and negative people in a constructive way...but i wanted to understand more on the subconscious mind. I always felt that there was a special tool that could answer that. I personally don't have the heart to ever desire misery, death, or anything inhuman to others and I have an unshakeable persistence to see and feel compassion for those who feel this way and to not lose hope in helping people realize their worth in life. This book sealed the deal for me in all these areas. If you are miserable, envious, always negative, insecure with friends and with your spouses, and you condition your subconscious mind with different types of negativity, you're programming your subconscious mind to manifest that in physical form. As a man thinketh, so is he. You are what you think. The within is expressed in the without. Thoughts are a form of energy, and what you speak, act, or say manifests in physical form and it generates through the subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is like a watchdog always on guard and a keeper of your past life and present memories. Sad to see how people often cheat themselves out of their own happiness. Most people who aren't happy with themselves turn to drugs, they envy, they murder, they steal, they gossip and calumniate others, they ruin their marriages through irrational fears and insecurities, they make themselves miserable and sick by complaining about everything, and other sorts of nonsense. Everyone can succeed in monumental ways and achieve the life they desire because the universe is limitless and eternal just like our subconscious mind and our spirit. Every person has a treasure trove within them. Do that very thing you are passionate about and release any limiting beliefs and false illusions that hold you back. If you have fears, they become self fulfilling prophecies. Some people were born to write, others were born to bring their visionary ideas into amazing architectures or as great and efficient innovations. Nikola Tesla accessed his ideas via the subconscious mind and Albert Einstein discovered his scientific breakthroughs and Michelangelo discovered new artistic masterpieces through the subconscious mind. I have always had dreams even as a kid where I'm actually learning something fairly new and to this day feel mesmerized by what comes up but always wondered where my mind was extracting psychic impressions, new learning material, ideas, answers, and solutions. This book came through a dream I had and I'm absolutely certain anybody, no matter what your concern is in life and regardless of your age or what your situation is, will benefit greatly from this book. That much I know to be true.
