ABSOLUTELY Life Changing: Use a Scientific Method to see!, February 19, 2004
By A Customer
I would give the book 3.5 MILLION Stars if I could. The knowledge presented in this book have transformed and completely changed my life. Before you read this please note:
this book is NOT about religion.
1) Pick an area of your life that you want to change.
2) Use the scientific, specific methods described in this book
3) SEE THE RESULTS WITH YOUR OWN EYES.
IMPORTANT POINT: You MUST suspend all doubt and have FAITH for it to work (JM show you how).
Another point: although spirituality and religion are closely related, you do NOT have to be a churchgoing Christian to enjoy the divine benefits of the truths presented here. Even if you are an atheist, I think this book especially will work for you. Why? Because you are less tied to traditional dogma. Once you see the changes in your life that occur through these teachings you doubtless will change your views on a "Higher Power", but that is between you and the One who made you.
NOTE TO OPEN-MINDED PEOPLE: I think that in today's world, people don't want to be told "just take what I tell you as fact". In other words, if you are an intelligent, open-minded person, you want SCIENTIFIC proof (i.e. a method, a hypothesis, observed cause, effect, results). Well in our modern times, we seem to believe that our rational side is more important than our spiritual, intuitive side. What I'm saying here is this book shows you the bower of both!
Now, you might be saying to yourself "I've been told all my life just have faith or just believe...". Well this books shows you a scientific method for developing faith and belief.
Whenever you have doubts, fear, worry, anxiety, etc. pop up use JM's techniques, "God/Infinite Intelligence/The Principle of Good in the World (whatever you want to call it, it really doesn't matter one damned bit!) loves me, therefore wants the best for me".
Or
"The Power in me that gave me this desire is the power that is fulfilling it".
This book shows you that as long as your desires 1)follow the golden rule, 2)the law of love and above all that 3)you BELIEVE, there is nothing absolutely nothing in this life you cannot attain. The teachings presented in this book show the utter tragedy of life: we limit ourselves, God, the universe, etc. doesn't. He has demonstrated this and God bless him forever and a 10 days for being the instrument through which these internal truths were brought to light to me and to the world.
Don't let the filthy, disgusting, vile thieves into your temple of: doubt, worry, feelings of unworthiness, anxiety, fear. Kicks them out of your life forever!!
What do you have to loose? Now if you are like me, you feel that "seeing is believing", so let me share my experiences using the methods, truths, knowledge, etc. as outlined in this book.
Some time ago, I found myself living in a crappy apartment in New York city, with a crappy job. You could see the trash on the streets, the loud neighbors, the totally hopeless co-workers I worked with. However, I had better visions for myself.
I envisioned myself living splendidly on another continent, enjoying wonderful social engagements, meeting the worlds best and brightest. I'm talking great dinner parties, art museums, cruises, clean air and water, a closer relationship with God/Higher self, etc.
Using JM's techniques, I envisioned myself meeting a Nobel Prize winner, and seeing the sun set while on the decks of a cruise ship to wonderful parts of Europe. I also saw myself in the lecture halls of a very prestigious university.
Keep in mind that at the time that vision was as far away from my present material reality as humanly possible (anyone who knows what a cramped New York city apartment looks like can identify).
I envisioned myself there, I BELIEVED in this vision, I held on it it. Time went one. One day, about 2pm on a Thursday, I looked around my desk at work and I said, "THIS IS IT!!" I had broken up with my partner, I hated my job, I had had enough. I turned to the infinite power within me and everything happened so effortlessly, it seems almost unfair the changes that that rolled into my life happened so easily. I quite my job. I booked a flight. I moved to another country. The day I arrived I had no apartment. About 23 hours later, the power of my subconscious (i.e. my Higher Self), found me an apartment. I was admitted to a prestigious university, for which I am pay NOT ONE RED SENT IN TUTION!!
IT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS, IT WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now the last bit. It was my dream to meet a Nobel Prize winner; I accomplished that. Further, I am about to spend the rest of my life with an amazing partner I attracted, am leaner and healthier than I have been in years, have traveled to so many wonderful locales, am about to close some amazing lucrative business deals.
Folks, from the bottom of my heart, I'll say this: I'm not special. Neither is anyone else who has written a review and testified to how their life has been changed. Though I would love to, neither am I receiving any monetary compensation for recommending this book ( :) ).
The investment of a couple of dollars for this book is so cheap compared to the payoff. You can change your life. Even if you have $10,000,000 in the bank, a beautiful wife/husband, are in perfect health, etc., if there is ONE area in your life that just won't budge, you just can't seem to get it right, this book will provide the solution.
I am making a life commitment to giving all of the special people I know this book. Unfortunately, most people will probably never see their lives changed through the truths presented here. YOU CAN BE DIFFERENT. Break through mass hypnosis, negative thinking, and those thieves of lack, limitation, worry, doubt, loss, fear and anxiety that rob people of their highest potential and of living the life of their wildest dreams. The Universe wants you happy! You deserve to be happy.
God knows, I pray that everyone reading this post gets this book, applies the principles and sees their lives changed. The only thing that I ask (and I'm sure Dr. Murphy would to) is that you pass on the good word. You don't have to buy the book to do this--eternal truths are eternal truths. Once you have applied the teachings in this book, just share the good news and let's all make this world a better place.
I wish a life of happiness, abundance, joy, peace of mind and right action to anyone who reads this. Have a wonderful life--YOU DESERVE IT!!!
A spiritually and materially content reader....

It Works If you Use It Correctly, October 29, 2004
Having received bunch of emails from people who have read this book, but still had difficulty applying the principles in this, I felt compelled to share few ideas.
First, the principles in this book are correct and they work if you apply them. The book is about using the power of your subconscious mind. As I read over some previous reviews here, I noticed that some people stumbled upon the language and pointed out that one should read "As A Man Thinketh" (yes, it is a good book to read), and made a reference to "as you think in your HEART" - not mind. Another name for the SUBCONSCIOUS is HEART of the MIND, because SUBCONSCIOUS MIND is the REALM OF EMOTIONS.
Some people also erroneously think that the subconscius mind is in one's head, it isn't. It is not even confined to your physical body, but permeates it. Your physical body is IN your MIND. Another way to describe the subconscious may be to refer to it as your "energy field" (that may be somewhat more modern "language"). Do not get stuck to words and labels, though. They are merely useful to help describe things - they are not the experience itself.
To use self-hypnosis successfully, to use the power of your mind successfully, it is not enough to just repeat the words mechanically (although, with a lot of repetition, they too will be impressed upon your subconscious mind), but you must also use your feelings - EXPERIENCING the outcome you desire AS IF it were REAL for you now - subjectively.
The term subconscious mind is used to refer to your own individual storehouse of knowledge and memories. The term "superconscious", or "universal mind", "God", and sometimes in hypnosis the term "unconscious" are used to refer to the infinite storehouse of knowledge, which you access through your subconscious mind.
There is ONLY ONE Mind, but for the convenience we have divided it linguistically into three minds, according to its functions - conscious, subconscious and superconscious. You can imagine that there is one door standing between your conscious and subconscious mind and another between your subconscious and superconscious. You access both your subconscious and superconscious by getting the critical faculty of your conscious mind out of the way and the easiest way to do this is by fully engaging your imagination and your emotions.
Because you access your subconscious and superconscious mind in the same way, people sometimes just use the term "subconscious" to refer to both functions. Instead of using the world superconscious, Murphy sometimes uses he word "God" - which I like, but some people feel very uncomfortable with due to their religious upbringing or lack of understanding and direct experience (A Course in Miracles is one books that may help in that respect).
Your conscious mind is that part of your mind that judges things and contemplates whether you can or cannot do something. It compares things and when you attempt to use your conscius mind and work on some goal, it may pop up with all the reasons why something may not be possible for you to do. Your subconscious mind goes for DIRECT EXPERIENCE. It doesn't judge whether something is possible or impossible, good or bad - it merely ACCEPTS as true and real whatever you EXPERIENCE as REAL subjectively.
When you pick a goal to work on with your subconscious, make sure that it is something that is BELIEVABLE to you. Whatever ideas you desire to impress upon your subconscious mind will work in conjunction with that which is already in your subconcious mind - so if the ideas and beliefs which are currently in your subconscious are in conflict with your desired goal, it will take you a long time to experience the desired results. If you begin with things you are willing to accept as possible for you, you'll get much faster results and you'll also condition your mind for success and to the world of many new wonderful possibilities.
Also, keep in mind, that you are in one way or another programming your subconscious mind with every thought you think. So, if you are using self-hypnosis to help you create greater abundance and you are working on your goal for half an hour a day, then you spend the other 23 hours contemplating how you don't have money to pay the bills, you're just undoing all that work you invested in self-hypnosis. Once you are done with your mind-programming, whenever you think of your goal, you'll make it happen much faster if you spend time expecting the positive outcome and giving thanks that what you desire is already yours, or at least that it is on its merry way to you.
This lovely book teaches you how to use the power of your mind in many different areas in your life. It also provides examples from the lives of others who have successfully used the power of their mind to overcome numerous obstacles and create what their hearts desired. This little stories may serve you as an inspiration until you have an assortment of your own success stories to tell - and if you genuinely apply the principles in this book, you'll have many great stories of your own.
