Book Review -
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind is a classic self-help book written by Dr. Joseph Murphy, originally published in 1963. The author shares his experimental analysis and spiritual enlightenment to help the readers in their everyday lives.
We have two types of brain conscious and subconscious. The latter works non-stop, even when we sleep, and this novel focuses on how we can use our subconscious mind to change our responses and habits towards any situation or person.
I started reading this book in January; at that time, I was not enjoying the author's work and stopped reading it. I picked it up again a few days ago, and the content appeared to be more likeable.
What changed? I don't know.
Maybe I was not in the state to comprehend the lessons at that time, and if you ever felt the same about any book, I recommend you stop reading and pick that up after some time.
Coming to the book, it is written lucidly, and one can connect with the incidents efficiently. Negative thoughts always appear in one's mind, but a few can convert them into positive ones.
How?
By using their subconscious mind. Dr. Joseph Murphy recommends praying before going to sleep and sending generous and heartfelt thoughts toward others (like reiki) because what you give is what you receive.
Many people have different opinions about the author's methods of solving any kind of problem, but in the end, it is all about beliefs. I do believe that manifestations of assertive thoughts can create miracles.
Our subconscious mind helps us show the right way; we simply have to ask and learn to believe in the process.
The author divides the teachings into small segments with concrete case subjects. After each chapter, you'll get the pointers that sum up the whole part.
The content is repetitive, but at least read this book once because you never know how it will help you. I recommend it.
This book talks about science and links God to our subconscious mind which is absolutely untrue. God does exist Sri Krsna is present within everybody and everybody is part and parcel of Sri Krsna we simply have to surrender to Krsna and have faith in him. We do not need to go through ways for attracting material things of life. Interestingly this books talks about ways to awaken Sri Krsna within you but fails to accept presence of Krsna and gives names like "subconscious mind" to God which is foolish. There is no evidence that human beings have a 'subconscious mind' it is simple author's suspicion but there is proofs in Vedas and Sastras about presence of Sri Krsna. People in this material world are denying the vedic proofs and creating own speculations with the knowledge of Krsna and without even accepting Krsna. This is an example of being trapped in deep Maya.
