"Give no one in all the world the power to deflect you from your goal, your aim in life, which is to express your hidden talents to the world, to serve humanity, and to reveal more and more of God's wisdom, truth, and beauty to all people in the world. Remain true to your ideal. Know definitely and absolutely that whatever contributes to your peace, happiness, and fulfillment must, of necessity, bless all men who walk the earth. The harmony of the part is the harmony of the whole, for the whole is in the part, and the part is in the whole. All you owe the other, as Paul says, is love, and love is the fulfilling of the law of health, happiness, and peace of mind." - Joseph Murphy
“Busy your mind with the concepts of harmony, health, peace, and good will, and wonders will happen in your life.” ― Dr. Joseph Murphy,
(Arabic: جوزيف ميرفي) 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.
You Can Change Your Whole Life is a follow-up to The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, by Dr. Joseph Murphy. I read both in a single book, and both books blew my mind. Both books focus on our abilities to achieve anything we desire by using the power of our subconscious mind. The first book is more of a manual with each chapter providing ideas to learn and practice with examples and a summary. The second book You Can Change Your Whole Life is more of an affirmation of the first book, with the author using many of the same examples but in his analysis, there is much more passion and conviction in his writing. I felt this book was the motivational call to action after learning the ideas from the Power of the Subconsious Mind.
