Joseph Murphy was a Divine Science minister and author.
Murphy was born in Ireland, the son of a private boy's school headmaster and raised a Roman Catholic. He studied for the priesthood and joined the Jesuits. In his twenties, an experience with healing prayer led him to leave the Jesuits and move to the United States, where he became a pharmacist in New York (having a degree in chemistry by that time). Here he attended the Church of the Healing Christ (part of the Church of Divine Science), where Emmet Fox had become minister in 1931.
In the mid 1940s, he moved to Los Angeles, where he met Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes, and was ordained into Religious Science by Holmes in 1946, thereafter teaching at the Institute of Religious Science. A meeting with Divine Science Association president Erwin Gregg led to him being reordained into Divine Science, and he became the minister of the Los Angeles Divine Science Church in 1949, which he built into one of the largest New Thought congregations in the country. In the next decade, Murphy married, earned a PhD in psychology from the University of Southern California and started writing. After his first wife died in 1976, he remarried to a fellow Divine Science minister who was his longstanding secretary. He died in 1981.

"Fear is the denial of God. It is nothing more than a collection of threatening shadows without reality, and there is nothing to support it."
"Once you turn with confidence and begin to rely on the almighty power within you, and know that you are guided and led by this inner light and express yourself fully, you truly become a channel for God and travel from glory to glory."
"If you look at your life, you will realize that the image in your mind has always manifested itself."
"A disciplined mind is accustomed to drinking spiritual medicine, the name of which is in harmony with God."
"What you imagine and feel as real will come to pass."
"Remember that emotion follows thought. And when you control your thoughts and mental images, you are in charge of your emotions. No person, place, or thing can make you angry, upset, or hurt. They have no power to do that."
"When you pray, you must forgive—forgive yourself and everyone else. Your consciousness must be clear, and your heart must be open. Energy and vitality are wasted on fear, worry, and doubt."
"We are creatures of habit. When we start to think rationally, we consciously reject all negative thoughts and opinions."
"You can direct your imagination wherever you want, for example, toward loss or misfortune. You can also discipline, focus, and direct your imagination toward success, prosperity, and well-being. What you imagine and feel as real will happen."
"First, realize that the desire, longing, ideal plan, or goal you want to achieve is undoubtedly a reality of consciousness, even though it is invisible."
"Thoughts are the substance of things we hope for, even though those things are not visible. Your idea, invention, book, or play is the substance of things we hope for. It is proof of invisible things. Objectively, we cannot see them, but we will see them. However, first they must be in our minds, because everything comes from the invisible. You believe in the possibility of implementing an idea. That is faith. Modern scientists are people of great faith because they believe in the possibility of implementing their ideas, plans, or goals.
Do not take your eyes off your aspiration, your goal. Know in your heart that there is an almighty power that always supports you. They never abandon you or leave you. Subjective consciousness responds to your constructive thinking and feeling. Thus, you are given nourishment, strength, and power. To look down at the waves of fear, false beliefs, and mistakes is to drown. Lift up your eyes. Contemplate your vision and you will find yourself there. Lift up your eyes to the hills from which your salvation comes. If your eyes are fixed on God, there will be no evil on your path."
"You must never give in and allow destructive, negative emotions to control us. Emotions follow thoughts, and by redirecting our thoughts, we control our emotional lives."
"Because what you think and imagine, you create in your mind. Forget about things that are in the past, strive for things that are in front of you."

Kolejna z książek Joseph’a Murphy’ego z serii “wykorzystaj swój potencjał przez potęgę podświadomości” i zdecydowanie ostatnia z tego cyklu, którą czytam. Po przeczytaniu 4/6 książek stwierdziłam, że każda jest do siebie niezwykle podoba; te same cytaty, fragmenty pism, sentencje. Po czasie robi się to nudne i monotonne, ale i tak miło mi się spędzało czas z tą lekturą.
