Do you want to know the real power of your mind?
Do you want to program your mind for success? Do you want to know the secrets of your subconscious mind? If the answer to any of these questions is "yes", then this post is for you. ( "Subconscious" is the correct word, but to keep the post simple, the word "subconscious mind" has been used) Summary and Insights from the Classic Book on the Subconscious Mind: The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy Just imagine a large iceberg floating in the ocean. The part that we see is the tip of the iceberg, but a huge part of it is hidden under the water. Our mind is exactly like that. What we know and understand is our conscious mind, but underneath it there is another very large and powerful world, called the subconscious mind. This subconscious is our real power center, where our habits, fears, hopes, dreams, and abilities are hidden. But the question is, how can we take advantage of this hidden treasure? How can we change our lives by awakening the power of our subconscious? This secret is explained in Joseph Murphy's famous book The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. This book was written in the 1960s, but its ideas are still fresh and effective today. This book teaches us that by changing our thinking, by programming our subconscious in a positive way, we can achieve success, happiness, health, and peace. If you want to bring positive change in your life, want to break out of your limited thinking and discover a new world, then this book can be a game changer for you. In this summary, I will try to explain and teach you how you can improve your life by unlocking the hidden corners of your mind. Get ready! To think from a new angle and see your life in a new light. 1: Your subconscious – a hidden power that can change your life! Do you remember when you first tried to learn to ride a bike? At first, you must have had to pay full attention to each pedal, mentally strained to maintain balance, and probably even fell several times. But as you practiced, it all became easier and automatic, until one day you started cycling without thinking. This is the amazing principle on which our brain works. First, our conscious mind learns something new, but with repeated repetition, this process is transferred to the subconscious mind, and then that action becomes our habit. This principle is not limited to learning skills, but affects our entire life! Now listen to the story of Enrico Caruso, who was a famous Italian opera singer. He performed in major opera houses in Europe and America, but every time he went on stage, he would experience intense nervousness, sweating, and a stiff neck. His mind would fill with negative thoughts—he imagined that people were making fun of him or that he would fail. This was because his subconscious was affecting his physical condition and he felt weak despite his excellent singing. But then he adopted a powerful technique. He began to say to himself: "Little me (i.e., conscious mind), don't get in the way of my big me (i.e., unconscious mind)!" He would repeat this phrase over and over again, until his subconscious began to ignore his nervousness, and he could sing with full energy. Now this teaches us a very important lesson: Your subconscious mind believes what you tell it over and over again! This principle has also been proven by scientific experiments. Psychologists observed in an experiment that when a hypnotist hypnotized his students into believing that they were "cats," they began to behave exactly like cats! Why? Because their subconscious minds accepted what their conscious minds had come to believe was true! This same principle was also used by Dr. James Esdale, a famous Scottish surgeon in the 19th century. Between 1843 and 1846, he performed more than 400 major operations, including dangerous operations such as amputations of limbs—and that too without any anesthesia! But the most surprising thing was that only 2 or 3 percent of his patients died, while the death rate from infection after surgery was very high at that time! How was this possible? He hypnotized his patients into believing that they would not experience any pain or infection. Their subconscious mind accepted the suggestion, and their bodies actually responded in the same way! So what do we learn from this? Your subconscious mind believes everything you tell yourself over and over again to be true. Whether it's fear and failure, or success and confidence—it all depends on your own suggestion! Now ask yourself: Am I filling my subconscious mind with fear, worry, and negative thoughts? Or am I programming my mind for success, confidence, and positive thoughts? What you sow in your mind will grow in your life! 2: Positive Thinking and Imagination—The Secret to Changing Your Life Positive Thinking And Imagination Did you know that your thoughts have the power to become reality? This is not a fantasy, but a scientific fact that if you think positively, you will see yourself as successful.
If you believe in something, and feel the success, your subconscious power starts to turn it into reality. This is nothing new! In the 18th century, priests would cure sick people simply by convincing them that God would make them healthy. Surprisingly, this method really worked! But in fact, this was not the result of a miracle, but rather a demonstration of the amazing power of the human subconscious. When a person believes in something with full intention, conviction, and intensity, his body also begins to react accordingly.
The same principle works for getting rid of diseases!
The author narrates an incident where one of his relatives had tuberculosis. His son thinks of an interesting recipe to save him. He shows his father a piece of wood and says: "This piece of wood did not come from an ordinary tree, but was brought from a European dervish, who has healed many sick people!" The man falls asleep holding this "holy cross" with full devotion and prays all night. And surprisingly, the next morning he is completely healed! But the truth is that it was just an ordinary piece of wood, picked up from the road!
So how was this possible? It was not the wood, but the man's faith that activated his subconscious and gave the signal to his body to heal itself! Another interesting example is given by the author from his teachings in the Church of Divine Science, where he taught the principles of (Mental Movie) to millions of people through a weekly radio program.
What is this principle? If you want to acquire something, imagine it as if it were already yours.
For example, if you want to sell your house:
👈 First of all, firmly believe that you have priced it correctly. 👈Then before you go to bed at night, visualize the moment when you happily sold your house. 👈Make this scene so vivid and real in your mind that it is as if it has already happened in reality! This technique has been proven so effective that countless people have sent letters to the author telling him that they have actually sold their houses! If you believe in something and visualize it over and over again, your subconscious mind begins to help you make it a reality. The same principle applies to recovery from illness, financial success, and every major goal in life!
Now ask yourself: Am I imagining positive things in my life? Or am I weakening myself by filling my thoughts with negative thoughts? What you can see in your mind can become your reality!
3: Imagination and Passion — Weapons of Success Imagination And Passion
Did you know that if you dream about something intensely, visualize it repeatedly, and become passionate about it, it can become a reality? It is not magic, but the result of the power of your subconscious! Imagine and money will come to you! You have seen that people can sell their houses with the power of imagination, but did you know that this same principle can also help you make money? For example, consider the story of a poor boy in Australia, who dreamed of becoming a doctor and surgeon, but he did not have money for education.
But he did not give up! Every night before going to bed, he would see in his imagination that there was a medical degree on the wall of his room, with his name written on it. After a few months of continuous imagination, a doctor saw the potential in this boy and hired him to work in his clinic. At first he would only sterilize instruments, then he started learning to give injections and other medical tasks. Gradually, the same doctor started paying for his medical school, and thus the same boy became a successful doctor!
Envy is the biggest obstacle to success!
But there is a very big obstacle on the path to success—envy!
For example, if you see someone cashing a check for a large amount of money, you may feel jealous. You may think: "Why don't I have this money? Why is this person luckier than me?"
But if you give place to jealousy in your heart, your subconscious will get the message that wealth was not made for you!
So what to do? Instead of being jealous, pray for happiness and blessings for others. When you are happy for the success of others, your subconscious will get the message that you are also capable of success!
Combine imagination with passion, and see perfection!
Another power in imagination comes when you add passion to it!
One day the author met a young pharmacist who loved his field. He often saw himself in his imagination selling medicines in his shop and serving patients. He took his job seriously to the point of obsession and started working at a large pharmacy store. Within a few years, he became a manager, and just four years later, he opened his own pharmacy with his own savings!
What is the lesson for you in this? Imagine that you have succeeded, and your subconscious will start making paths for it! Don't be jealous of the progress of others, but be happy so that the energy of success will also start pulling towards you! Become passionate about your dreams and work on them with all your might!
4: Make the right decisions guided by the subconscious
Did you know that we spend almost a third of our lives sleeping? But this time is not wasted. In fact, both our bodies and minds are highly active during sleep, and during this time the power of our subconscious guides us in the important decisions of our lives.
Sleep helps our body to restore energy, recover, and improve digestion. Similarly, our subconscious mind also works throughout the night, making important decisions to guide us.
The Power of the Unconscious: A Guide to the Right Decision
The author narrates an interesting incident in which a woman living in Los Angeles was offered a job in New York that was twice her current salary. She could not decide whether to accept the job or not. Finally, she decided to seek help from her subconscious mind. She calmed her mind before going to bed and began to consider the question of whether the job was right for her. When she woke up the next morning, she had a strong feeling that the job was not right for her. A few months later, her decision was proven correct when the company went bankrupt and she felt that her subconscious mind was pointing her in the right direction.
It is essential for you to recognize and harness the power of your subconscious mind 👈 Your decisions are connected to the guidance of your subconscious mind. When you allow your subconscious mind to guide you in the right way, your decisions will automatically improve. 👈 Visualize whatever you want in your life. If you are looking for a specific partner or success, picture it to your subconscious mind. 👈 Recognizing and acting on the guidance of your subconscious mind can bring insight and success to your decisions.
5: Choose happiness and let go of negative thoughts
Did you know that you can choose your happiness? There are many moments in our lives when we feel happy, like getting a good deal at the market or seeing a $20 bill on the street. But we all know that this happiness is temporary. To make happiness a part of our life, we need to change our thinking.
Choosing happiness To be happy, you have to choose happiness. An example of this is the story of a salesman who sought advice from the author. He always did better than his colleagues, but he never received recognition for his hard work. He blamed this difference on his sales manager's hatred, and this thought constantly made him angry and frustrated. Finally, he realized that the power to be happy was in his own hands. He made his thinking positive and began to pray for his manager's health and success. He imagined his manager congratulating him, shaking his hand, and smiling happily. One day, his manager called him in and promoted him to sales manager, along with increasing his salary. Negative thoughts not only affect your happiness but also rob you of your peace of mind. These thoughts can hinder your progress and cause you to break down from within.
Forgive yourself and find peace
In another example, the author mentions a colleague who worked until 1 a.m., which led to his family being distant from him and his high blood pressure. But his workload was the result of self-blame, as he felt a deep sense of guilt over the wrong he had done to his late brother.
This sense of guilt led him to punish himself, and he worked tirelessly to alleviate this feeling. Eventually, he forgave himself and brought his life into balance. He now spends time with his family and manages his work hours better.
6: Overcome obstacles with positive thinking and stay young forever
Were you afraid of monsters hiding under the bed as a child? If you were afraid like other children, you may remember the feeling of relief when your mother turned on the light to show you that everything was safe. The truth is that all fears are based on false beliefs, and the way to overcome them is to confront them. The most common fears are about failure and helplessness.
Another common fear is the fear of aging, but this too can be overcome by changing your thoughts. The truth is that you only get old when you stop dreaming and learning new skills. This means that staying young forever is actually about staying active.
The author told of a friend of his who retired at the age of 65. He had worked hard and studied all his life, but he saw retirement as the next step in his life. He took photography classes, traveled the world and took pictures, and eventually began lecturing on the subject. His simple passion, to learn something new, kept him young at heart, and his mind and body responded accordingly.
Similarly, the author's father learned French at the age of 65 and became proficient in it by the age of 70. Then he started learning Gaulish and continued learning this language until the age of 99. So now the question is: Are you ready to face your fears? Are you ready to fill your mind with positive thoughts and make yourself young and successful?
Remember, success or achievement is not just the result of desire and positive thinking. You need your own hard work, determination, and action. To empower your subconscious mind, it is not enough to just think positively, but you have to take steps towards your dreams with your own hard work and determination every day. The secret to success It is said that the harder you work, the more help your subconscious will give you. Dreaming is important, but to turn dreams into reality, you have to get up and do something. It is important to take action to fulfill your desires, because if you only think, but do nothing, even the subconscious will not be able to help you. Take practical steps towards your goals and continuously move forward in the pursuit of your dreams, only then will you be able to harness the full power of your subconscious.
