One of three classic reissues by the mega-selling author of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind to inaugurate TarcherPerigee's exciting new line, The Joseph Murphy Library of Success! Here is your invitation to command the Eternal Force that will bring vast abundance and goodness in your life. Joseph Murphy's guidebook features all of the ancient prayers, techniques, and meditations for calling upon the Great Power of the Universe--the Eternal Force that will act on your heartfelt desires and lead you into a cosmic view of life. A native of Ireland who resettled in America, JOSEPH MURPHY , Ph.D., D.D., (1898-1981) was a prolific and widely admired New Thought minister and writer, best known for his metaphysical classic, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind , an international bestseller since it first appeared on the self-help scene in 1963. A popular speaker, Murphy lectured on both American coasts and in Europe, Asia, and South Africa. His many books and pamphlets on the auto-suggestive and metaphysical faculties of the human mind have entered multiple editions. Murphy is considered one of the pioneering voices of affirmative-thinking philosophy. 1 How the Cosmic Energizer Can Create Riches and Abundance for You There is only One Fundamental Energy in the world, a Cosmic Energizer, and each one of us is a channel through which this Force is seeking a creative outlet. It is necessary that we become clear channels for the flow of this Divine Energy. Each one of us is a focal point of the Divine, somewhat as an electric bulb may be looked upon as a focal point for the flow of electric current. This Cosmic Energizer flows harmoniously, peacefully, rhythmically and joyously, and when we let this power flow constructively through us, we are acting in harmony with the Cosmic Energizer, and we will manifest harmony, health, peace and all the riches of the Infinite in our lives. Whenever we indulge in remorse, self-condemnation, resentment or any form of negative thinking, the Divine Energy becomes trapped within us and produces all sorts of trouble. How to Channel the Riches of the Infinite The following is a wonderful method for the release of the Cosmic Energizer in you: "I forgive myself for harboring any negative thoughts about myself or anybody else, and I resolve not to do so any more. I radiate love and goodwill to all men and women and to all people everywhere. I know when I have forgiven others, because I can think of them or meet them in my mind and there is absolutely no sting there." This attitude makes a clear and open channel for the Divine Energy. Pray as follows: "I claim that God's love, light, harmony, truth, beauty, abundance and security flow through me freely and joyously, and I know I am now being prospered and blessed beyond my fondest dreams." Repeat this prayer aloud night and morning three times. As your eyes are focused on these truths and your ears hear them, you now have two faculties working for you, and you will find these truths will sink into your subconscious mind. Since the laws of your subconscious are compulsive, you will be impelled and directed to express God's infinite riches in all phases of your life. His Idea Was Worth a Fortune Recently while at a social gathering, an engineer working in a research laboratory told me that members of his staff were pondering and puzzling over a certain research problem for the armed forces. He said: "I got very quiet and relaxed, secluding myself in another part of the building, and said to my subconscious mind, 'I am turning over this request to you, and I know you will reveal the answer to the engineering problem. I am going to let it simmer within you, and when you have the answer you will present it to my conscious mind.'" The next day he received the answer clearly in his conscious mind and the whole problem was quickly unraveled, saving the company considerable money. He received a promotion, a considerable increase in salary and was made a junior partner in the organization. He will share in the very large annual profits. He Adopted New Ideas Toward Money and Prospered A teacher who wished to prosper referred to money as "filthy lucre." I explained to him he had to change his attitude toward money, because his silent condemnation of money caused it to fly from him instead of to him. He realized that it would be foolish to pronounce uranium, lead, cobalt, nickel, copper or a dollar bill as evil. A dollar bill is harmless, and the only difference between it and nickel or copper or any other metal is that the atoms and molecules with their electrons and protons are arranged differently than are those which constitute paper. Here is the practical, down-to-earth technique he employed which multiplied money in his experience: "From now on I look upon money as Divine substance, for everything comes out of the One Spirit (God). I know that matter and spirit (energy) are one. I claim and decree that money is constantly ci
