Rate this book
"IDEAS ARE YOUR MASTERS"

In The Magic Keys, Joseph Murphy reveals the hidden truth of life. You--and all the world--are ruled by ideas. Once you discover the methods to master ideas, you master yourself and everything around you.

In eight enticing steps, the author of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind teaches you how to harness and transform your ideas in all areas of life, including money, health, relationships, worry, and the wish for security. Murphy also explores "the fourth way to pray"--a dramatic yet simple method that opens you to a new world of possibility.

This collection, part of a new series called Joseph Murphy's Golden Lessons, is edited and introduced by popular voice of esoteric spirituality Mitch Horowitz. It includes Mitch's short bio of Murphy and a timeline of the teacher's life. "Ideas of self-image," Mitch writes in his introduction, "shape your existence." Allow The Magic Keys to help you realize the full breadth of that truth and how to benefit from it.

(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.

This book is the same as the others in the Power of Your Subconscious Mind series. It's always about the same thing. The book does not bring anything new. If you haven't read any yet, I encourage you to do so. You can learn to look at the world from a different angle which can be useful. I warn against a lot of religious context.

Ta książka pomogła mi odnaleźć wewnętrzny spokój, zrozumieć parę spraw i przestać myśleć negatywnie. Moje nastawienie do życia może i nie zmieniło się o 180°, mimo tego patrzę na nie nieco inaczej.

Lepsza niż potęga podświadomości ale nadal trochę irytowała mnie ilość cytatów i niektóre sformułowania. Wartościowa książka która na pewno skłania do myślenia 🤍

Zbyt religijna jak dla mnie i szczerze: jesli kogoś zainteresował tytuł to nie znajdzie na niego odpowiedzi. Ogólnie polecam autora

I like some of the messages in the book but constant allegories and references to christian god and the bible turned me off completely and made me throw the book in the bin after I was done.
