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.

This inspiring book contains extracts from the illustrious Dr. Murphy’s lectures.
Dr. Murphy was a proponent of the New Thought movement, whose basic concept was “You can become what you want to be".
He believed that it was God’s plan for us to be healthy, prosperous and happy.
Whatever you attach to the words “I am” and “emotionalize” you’ll become. If you’re looking for your purpose in life, say ”I m in my true place. I m doing what I love to do. I’m divinely happy and prospered.”
You become what you think about all day long. If you think positive thoughts, blessings follow; and if you think negative thoughts, unpleasant results manifest.”
The book is filled with accounts of various people who healed themselves of their illnesses and transformed their lives by changing their thinking. Murphy gives us continual examples of healing prayers to repeat and meditate on.
For example,
“God is boundless love, absolute bliss, indescribable beauty, and supreme peace. There are no divisions in the Infinite, which is perfect. God’s eyes are too pure to behold inequity. God’s will is being made manifest in my life as Divine Harmony, health, happiness, abundance, and love.”
If we meditate on these words regularly, our present circumstances will be magically transformed.
Whenever fear or worry comes into our mind, we should immediately affirm “God is guiding me now” or “God knows the answer”.
When you have a problem, turn away from your difficulty and concentrate on receiving a solution through the power of God. Focus your attention on that and claim the reality of your desire, Infinite Intelligence will respond.
If you’re suffering from an illness, begin to claim “God’s Healing Presence permeates every atom of my being”.
There are chapters about the non-existence of death, the spiritual meaning of marriage and divorce and the beliefs of Ralph Waldo Emerson.
I highly recommend this book, which is one of a series of six by Dr. Murphy. The book, like all Murphy’s books, gives comfort and inspiration.

Z serii „Wykorzystaj swój potencjał przez potęgę podświadomości” ta książka podobała mi się chyba najmniej. Nie ukrywam, że tę serię zaczęłam czytać przez kultową „Potęgę podświadomości” i bardzo się zawiodłam. Poprzednio podobały mi się ciekawe nawiązania do Biblii, opowieści bohaterów, a teraz niestety tego mi najbardziej zabrakło. Dodatkowo ogromna liczba powtórzeń w tekście dobijała, nudziła i frustrowała.

A good read to identify God and our subconscious. A must recommended for the seekers.

Some parts I just loved, and some I hated so much that I skipped them. Science inaccuracy for example.
