I recently read this wonderful book – The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy. I want to be able to refer to it again so I I have written a summary as my personal notes for future reference.

1. The treasure house is within you. Look within for the answer to your heart’s desire.
2. The great secret possessed by the great men of all ages was their ability to contact and relate the powers of their subconscious mind. You can do the same.
3. Your subconscious has the answer to all problems. If you suggest to your subconscious prior to sleep, “I want to get up at 6 am,” it will awaken you at that exact time.
4. Your subconscious mind is the builder of your body and it can heal you. Lull yourself to sleep every night with the idea of perfect health, and your subconscious, being your faithful servant, will obey you.
5. Every thought is a cause and every condition is an effect.
6. If you want to write a book, write a wonderful play, give a better talk to your audience, convey the idea lovingly and feelingly to your subconscious mind and it will respond accordingly.
7. You are like a captain navigating a ship. You must give the right orders (thoughts and images) to your subconscious mind, which controls and governs all your experiences.
8. Never use such expressions as “I can’t afford it” or “I can’t do this.” Your subconscious mind takes you at your word and sees to it that you do not have the money or the ability to do what you want to do. Affirm, “I can do all things through the power of my subconscious mind.”
9. The law of life is the law of belief. A belief is a thought in your mind. Do not believe in things that will harm or hurt you. Believe in the power of your subconscious to heal, inspire, strengthen, and prosper you.
10. Change your thought and you change your destiny.

1. Think good and good follows. Think evil and evil follows. You are what you think all day long.
2. Your subconscious mind does not argue with you. It accepts what your conscious mind decrees. If you say, “I can’t afford it,” your subconscious mind works to make it true. Select a better thought. Decree, “I’ll buy it. I accept it in mind.”
3. You have the power to choose. Choose health and happiness. You can choose to be friendly or you can choose to be unfriendly. Choose to be cooperative, joyous, friendly, lovable and the whole world will respond. This is the best way to develop a wonderful personality.
4. Your conscious mind is the watchman at the gate. Its chief function is to protect your subconscious mind from false impressions. Choose to believe that something good can happen and it is happening now. Your greatest power is your capacity to choose. Choose happiness and abundance.
5. The suggestions and statements of others have no power to hurt you. The only power is the movement of your own thought. You can choose to reject the thoughts or statements of others and affirm the good. You have the power to choose how you react.
6. Watch what you say. You have to account for every word. Never say, “I will fail; I will lose my job; I can’t pay the rent.” Your subconscious cannot take a joke, it makes it happen.
7. Your mind is not evil. No force of nature is evil. It depends on how you use the power of the nature. Use your mind to bless, heal, and inspire all people everywhere.
8. Never say, “I can’t”. Overcome the fear by substituting the following, “I can do all things through the power of my own subconscious mind.”
9. Begin to think from the standpoint of the eternal truths and principles of life and not from the standpoint of fear, ignorance, and superstition. Do not let others do your thinking for you. Choose your own thoughts and make your own decisions.
10. You are the captain of your soul (subconscious mind) and the master of your fate. Remember, you have the capacity to choose. Choose life! Choose love! Choose health! Choose happiness!
11. Whatever your conscious mind assumes and believes to be true, your subconscious mind will accept and make it happen. Believe in good fortune, divine guidance, right action, and all the blessings of life.

1. Your subconscious mind controls all the vital processes of your body and knows the answer to all your problems.
2. Prior to sleep, turn over a specific request to your subconscious mind and prove its miracle-working power to yourself.
3. Whatever you impress on your subconscious mind is expressed on the screen of space as conditions, experiences, and events. Therefore, you should carefully watch all ideas and thoughts entertained in your conscious mind.
4. The law of action and reaction is universal. Your thought is action and reaction is the automatic response of your subconscious mind to your thought. Watch your thoughts.
5. The frustration is due to unfulfilled desires. If you dwell on obstacles, delays, and difficulties, your subconscious mind responds accordingly and you are blocking your own good.
6. The life-principle will flow through. Feed your subconscious with thoughts of harmony, health, and peace, and all the functions of your body will become normal again.
7. Keep your conscious mind busy with the expectation of the best and your subconscious will faithfully reproduce your habitual thinking.
8. Imagine the happy ending or solution to your problem and feel the thrill of accomplishment and what you imagine and feel will be accepted by your subconscious mind, which will bring it to pass.
9. You must consciously affirm, “I believe that the subconscious power that gave me this desire is now fulfilling it through me.” This dissolves all conflicts.

1. Remind yourself frequently that the healing power is in your subconscious mind.
2. Know that faith is like a seed planted in ground; It grows its own kind. Plant the idea (seed) in your mind, water and fertilize it with expectancy and it will manifest.
3. The idea you have for a book, new invention, or play is real in your mind. Believe in the reality of your idea, plan, or invention and as you do, it will manifest.
4. In praying for another, know that your silent inner knowing of wholeness, beauty, and perfection can change the negative patterns of the other’s subconscious mind and bring about wonderful results.
5. The miraculous healing you hear about at various shrines are due to the imagination and the blind faith that acts on the subconscious mind, releasing the healing power.
6. All disease originate in mind. Nothing appears on the body unless there is a mental pattern corresponding to it.
7. The symptoms of almost any disease can be induced in you by hypnotic suggestion. This shows you the power of your thought.
8. There is only one process of healing and that is faith. There is only one healing power; namely your subconscious mind.
9. Whether the object of your faith is real or false, you will get results. Your subconscious mind responds to the thoughts in your mind. Look upon faith as a thought in your mind and that will suffice.

1. Find out what it is that heals you. Realize that correct directions given to your subconscious mind will heal your mind and body.
2. Develop a definite plan for turning over your requests or desires to your subconscious mind.
3. Imagine the desired end and feel its reality. Follow it through and you will get definite results.
4. Decide what belief is. Know that belief is a thought in your mind and that’s what you can create.
5. It is foolish to believe in sickness or in anything that will hurt or harm you. Believe in perfect health, prosperity, peace, wealth, and divine guidance.
6. Great and noble thoughts upon which you habitually dwell become great acts.
7. Apply the power of prayer therapy in your life. Choose a certain plan, idea, or a mental picture. Unite mentally and emotionally with that idea. As you remain faithful to your mental attitude, your prayer will be answered.
8. Always remember, if you really want the power to heal, you can have it through faith, which means knowledge of the working of your conscious and subconscious mind. Faith comes with understanding.
9. Blind faith means that a person may get results in healing without any scientific understanding of the powers and forces involved.
10. Learn to pray for your loved ones who may be ill. Quiet your mind. Your thoughts of health, vitality, and perfection operating through the one universal subjective mind will be felt and manifest in the mind of your loved one.
11. You avoid conflict between your conscious and subconscious in the sleepy state. Imagine the fulfillment of your desire over and over again prior to sleep. Sleep in peace and wake in joy.

1. Be a mental engineer and use tried and proven techniques in building a grander and greater life.
2. Your desire is your prayer. Picture the fulfillment of your desire now and feel its reality. You will experience the joy of the answered prayer.
3. Desire to accomplish things the easy way, with the sure way of mental science.
4. You can build radiant health, success, and happiness by the thoughts you think in the hidden studio of your mind.
5. Experiment scientifically until you personally prove that there is always a direct response from the infinite intelligence of your subconscious mind to your conscious thinking.
6. Feel the joy and restfulness in foreseeing the certain accomplishment of your desire. Any mental picture you have in your mind is the substance of things you hope for and the evidence of things not seen.
7. A mental picture is worth a thousand words. Your subconscious will bring to pass any picture held in the mind backed by faith.
8. Avoid all effort or mental coercion in prayer. Get into a sleepy, drowsy state and lull yourself to sleep, feeling and knowing that your prayer is answered.
9. Remember that the thankful heart is always close to the riches of the universe.
10. To affirm is to state that it is so and as you maintain this attitude of mind as true, regardless of all evidence to the contrary, you will receive an answer to your prayer.
11. Generate waves of harmony, health, and peace by thinking of the love and the glory of God.
12. What you decree and feel as true will come to pass. Decree harmony, health, peace, and abundance.

1. Your subconscious is the builder of your body and is on the job 24 hours a day. You interfere with its life-giving pattern by negative thinking.
2. Charge your subconscious with the task of evolving an answer to any problem prior to sleep and it will answer you.
3. Watch your thoughts. Every thought accepted as true is sent by your conscious cortex to your subconscious brain structures and is brought into your world as a relay.
4. Know that you can remake yourself by giving a new blueprint to your subconscious mind.
5. The tendency of your subconscious is always lifeward. Feed your subconscious mind with premises that are true. Your subconscious is always reproducing according to your habitual mental patterns.
6. You build a body every 11 months. Change your body by changing your thoughts and keeping them changed.
7. It is normal to be healthy. It is abnormal to be ill. This is the innate principle of harmony.

3. Think and plan independently of traditional methods. Know that there is always an answer and a solution to every problem.
4. Do not be overly concerned with the bearing of your heart with the bearings of your lungs or the functions of any organ of your body. Lean heavily upon your subconscious and proclaim frequently that the right action is taking place.
5. The feeling of health produces health, the feeling of wealth produces wealth. How do you feel?
6. Imagination is your most powerful faculty. Imagine what is lovely and of good report. You are what you imagine yourself to be.
7. You avoid conflict between your conscious and subconscious in the sleepy state. Imagine the fulfillment of your desire over and over again prior to sleep. Sleep in peace and wake up in joy.

1. Decide to be wealthy the easy way, with the infallible aid of your subconscious mind.
2. Trying to accumulate wealth by the sweat of your brow and hard labor is one way to become the richest man in the graveyard. You do not have to strive or slave hard.
3. Wealth is a subconscious conviction. Build into your mentality the idea of wealth.

9. Increase your sales by repeating the statement over and over, “My sales are improving every day; I am advancing, progressing, and getting wealthier every day.”
10. Stop writing blank checks, such as, “There is not enough to go around” or “There is a shortage” and so forth. Such statements magnify and multiply your loss.
11. Deposit thoughts of prosperity, wealth, and success in your subconscious mind and the latter will give you compound interest.
12. What you consciously affirm, you must not mentally deny a few moments later. This will neutralize the good you have affirmed.

1. Be bold enough to claim that it is your right to be rich. Your deeper mind will honor your claim.
2. You don’t want just enough to go around. You want all the money you need to do all the things you want to do, when you want to do them. Get acquainted with the riches of your subconscious mind.
3. When money is circulating freely in your life, you are economically healthy. Look at money like the tide and you will always have plenty of it. The ebb and flow of the tide is constant. When the tide is out, you are absolutely sure that it will return.
4. Knowing the laws of your subconscious mind, you will always be supplied regardless of what form money takes.
5. One reason many people simply make ends meet and never have enough money is that they condemn money. What you condemn takes wings and flies away.
6. Do not make a God of money. It’s only a symbol. Remember that the real riches are in your mind. You are here to lead a balanced life; this includes acquiring all the money you need.
7. Don’t make money your sole aim. Claim wealth, happiness, peace to all. Then your subconscious mind will give you compound interest in all these fields of expression.

9. You are not here to live in a hovel, to dress in rags, or to go hungry. You are here to lead the life more abundant.
10. Never use the term “filthy lucre” or say “I despise money.” You lose what you criticize. Money in itself is neither good nor bad but thinking of it in either light makes it so.
11. Repeat frequently, “I like money. I use it wisely, constructively, and judiciously. I release it with joy and it returns a thousandfold.

13. To picture the end result in your mind causes your subconscious to respond and fulfill your mental picture.
14. Stop trying to get something for nothing. There is no such thing as a free lunch. You must give to receive.

The key to wealth is to apply the laws of the subconscious mind by impregnating it with the idea of wealth.

1. Success means successful living. When you are peaceful, happy, joyous and doing what you love to do, you are successful.

10. Your subconscious mind is a storehouse of memory. For a perfect memory, affirm frequently, “The infinite intelligence of my subconscious mind reveals to me everything I need to know at all times, everywhere.

1. Remember that the subconscious mind has determined the success and wonderful achievements of all great scientific workers.
2. By giving your subconscious attention and devotion to the solution of a perplexing problem, your subconscious mind gathers all the necessary information and presents it full-blown to the conscious mind.

4. You do not always get the answer overnight. Keep on turning your request over to your subconscious until the day breaks and the shadows flee away.
5. You delay the answer by thinking it will take a long time or that it is a major problem. Your subconscious has no problem, it knows only the answer.

11. Radiate love, peace, and goodwill to each other. These vibrations are picked up by the subconscious mind resulting in mutual trust, affection, and respect.
12. A nagging partner is usually seeking attention and appreciation. He or she is craving love and affection. Praise and exalt their many good points. Show them that you love and appreciate them.
13. Partners who love each other do not do anything unloving or unkind in word, manner, or action. Love is what love does.
14. In marriage problems, always seek expert advice. You would not go to carpenter to pull a tooth; neither should you discuss your marriage problems with relatives or friends. If you need counsel, go to a trained person.
