The Miracle of Mind Dynamics: Use Your Subconscious Mind to Obtain Complete Control Over Your Destiny

I have found Dr. Murphy’s books in a time of great personal turmoil, in a condition that was a karmic backlash of actions that were the result of confusion and lack of insight in the workings of life, and its creative energy.The second time I recurred to scientific prayer in my life, was again when I was passing through a major period of transformation that was putting my life on a more spiritual foundation, without giving a fancy meaning to that term. In fact, at that time in my life, I was simply putting words on things, rendering conscious my longings for partnership, instead of complaining about my loneliness. I was learning to see and emphasize the beauty of longing itself, its visionary quality. I then realized that once I felt better in my life and affairs, I had given up the prayer technique, but life was to tell me that I was again losing ground, and I suffered again financial losses.After a few months of practicing scientific creative prayer it was easy to drop smoking, and put my regime back to a pure vegetarian diet, and I was able to restrict wine and beer consumption to occasional glasses that accompanied a meal.Why had it been so easy to get back to normal? I think there are two reasons. The first reason is that I had already embraced that condition earlier on in my life, so the pattern was already familiar to me, as a matter of what Rupert Sheldrake calls morphic resonance. Second, I knew from my earlier studies on prayer that it’s all about belief and accepting or not accepting certain conditions. First of all, I had learnt to say a decisive no to conditions I found are damaging my health and wellbeing, or conditions that put me in danger and thus invoke constant fear. So I said no to being fat, immobile and short-breathed, and I said no to bringing danger to my life and my brain through alcoholism.Next, I pondered what I had been thinking, predominantly, all through these years? I had been thinking virtually every day that I was not a published author, that all my writings were just manuscripts, that I had got but refusals from publishers and that I wanted to be published. Working on publishing my writings, music, art and photography, I was repeating these thoughts in my mind, on a daily basis.What was it that I had believed? I believed that I had to work hard, so hard that I was actually ten hours behind two huge computer monitors every day, while I was not making a cent from all the work I did. I did it for expressing myself, in the belief if I was only working hard enough success would come by itself. Nope, it didn’t. After ten years of unwavering efforts I had a range of brilliant web sites that went for the most part unnoticed, and nobody cared about my design, and the content of my many books.Over the next decade or so, I was in what seemed a negative growth cycle in that I lost money instead of making it, through a lack of business knowledge, on one hand, and through suffering betrayal, on the other. As a result, I had built strong resentment which triggered negative self-talk and hateful feelings toward the world and others. I lost many friends during that time. And I thought why me, and why is that possible at all?I knew that the cause of my ailments was too much ‘immobility’ in my thoughts and action, too much of a stationary spirit and attitude, and not enough moving and flowing with life—to put it in a word: resistance. I had resisted the welcome change by putting pressure upon myself, and by stressing achievement over creation, instead of just creating more, with a carefree and joyful attitude.Instead of throwing myself again into depression and despair, I had developed a new attitude, and I had developed it because of the prayers. I simply unpublished all of the books and changed my basic attitude behind publishing. Once of a sudden, I became aware that the basic intention behind my efforts was one of being recognized as a ‘published author,’ as some sort of personal glory. I then realized that this was not what my soul wanted. I imagined myself to be on my death bed and looked back at my life in retrospection, and the result was dumbfounding me.I realized that what I really wanted was to share my knowledge, even for free, and without any credit for myself. This new insight virtually poured streams of happiness into me that I had never known in my life before. I expressed to the universe my gratitude to have had this fundamental insight not on my death bed but when I had still time enough to change course and start all over again. I became acutely aware that my selfish beliefs and attitude were behind my failure in publishing my creations. Hence, I realized that the intention behind our actions really is essential for giving us a feeling of success and reward.My retrospection has shown me that death is not an end to anything that is based upon our genuine creativeness, and that life is given to us as a free gift we should use not only for our own glory, but for sharing our gifts and talents with others in a natural, carefree and joyful manner. As uncanny as it sounds, death had taught me how to live, and how to live happily and with a feeling of being blessed. As Murphy states in this book:—It is impossible that anything so universal as death should ever be looked upon as evil. It must be good or it would not be.

As others have stated this is a special book of Joseph Murphy's -- and I love all of his books. I have only been doing this work for a little over a year and it's been painful. I've had to come face to face with beliefs that were drilled into me from the cradle, and in spite of saying to myself this is Truth, and knowing it and feeling it, the stuff kept cropping up, and still does -- I know it's why life is getting worse instead of better.I am also alone in what I am doing, and the people closest to me think I am nuts. It drove a deep rift between me and my brother, who is a "devout" Catholic and gets very, very, very angry if he feels challenged -- and it seems that everything is a challenge. So I learned to keep my mouth shut around him. This was getting to me last night, and I went back to this book of Murphy's. This is the book that really talks deeply of God's will, dogmatic beliefs and relationships and how to handle them. And I found my answer, and a simple one-line prayer that I needed. So a lot spoke to me, yet again, in this book -- more than the first time I read it several months ago. And that's what the treasure of these books are. As you clear out and understand and hit roadblocks you go back and find new understanding.I used to cringe when I heard "thy will be done." Now I embrace it joyfully, because as good as I can imagine, I know that God can and will outdo even that. The will of God -- love, joy, happiness, wealth, health -- all the best. Imagine what a wonderful world it would if everybody embraced this.I love it when I hear parents are teaching their children Truth. I wish I had known about it long before my son was born -- life would have been amazing. But I've got a Joseph Murphy prayer for him, too, now. And it's never too late -- unless I give up and I stop trusting in God.My copy of this book was a pristine used copy. Well, it's not a pristine used copy anymore:) It is much loved and treasured.A favorite page that i came across last night was P. 58 "How Snowflakes Brought Wealth to Harry Hamblin." It brought such a vivid scene to me -- a man walking home in the snow who suddenly becomes aware of the wealth, love and goodness of God being like billions of snowflakes falling all over London. It changed his life totally and beautifully.How can anybody not love this and want to find it -- even if the initial cost can be painful. But all that pain and mending is God's job. I just need to bring the faith and trust.

The Miracle of Mind Dynamics is a book that I read over and over again, just like the Bible. I found this book on Amazon while studying the subconscious. I began studying the subconscious because I began to notice things happening in my life that could only be explained by the subconscious. Wow, I can't believe this book was written in the 60's! It really helped me deal with some emotional, relationship and spiritual issues I was having in my life. The book helped me look at God, other people and myself in a better light! I no longer see God as judgmental or condemning, and of course he never was. When I have problems in my life I now look more at myself. I forgive easier. When I read the Bible I see more of what Jesus is saying. Now don't get me wrong I'm not perfect and other books have helped me along these same lines. Other people that do us wrong aren't so much evil as misdirected or ignorant to the truth and they should be viewed in that light. As far as my study of the subconscious, I found that my subconscious is just trying to work with me and help me in this life. No matter how evil it's actions appear to me or others. However, it's my job to direct or program it for only good purposes. I plan to read all of Joseph Murphy's books. I had previously read "The Power of your Subconscious mind" by Dr. Murphy (which is also a good book) but "The Miracle of Mind Dynamics" added some other element that I don't think I received from "The Power of your Subconscious mind". Maybe its like lifting weights. I find that when I work a muscle from every angle, I get more growth.
