The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and How to Use It (Master Class Series)
()
About this ebook
Historian and New Thought scholar Mitch Horowitz shines a new light on Joseph Murphy's landmark, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind, showing how to maximize Murphy's methods, reverse setbacks, and remove mental blocks. He demonstrates how current insights from mind-body medicine and quantum theory show you how to strengthen Murphy’s techniques. In this powerful Master Class:
• Mitch reveals posthumous letters from Murphy's readers and responds to their questions and problems;
• advises what do to in the face of setbacks or failure;
• writes bluntly about lifting self-imposed mental blocks that sap your abilities;
• explores how Murphy's methods address the complexities of life today—and faces the facts of where they fail to and how to improve upon them;
• weds current insights from placebo studies, neuroplasticity, and quantum theory to Murphy’s work;
• provides a comprehensive timeline of Murphy’s life and little-known biographical details, including Murphy’s tutelage under Neville Goddard’s teacher Abdullah.
Paris Match: “Mitch Horowitz, a specialist in American esotericism, traces the history of positive thinking and its influence … takes us far from naive doctrines.”
HuffPost: “Has the rare gift of making the esoteric accessible to discerning masses.”
Boing Boing: “Horowitz comes across as the real deal: he is an authentic ‘adept mind’ and he knows his stuff.”

About the Author
Preface
Of the various Master Classes I have published with G&D Media this one is my personal favorite. This five-part course allows me to explore with you the enduring relevance of Joseph Murphy’s ideas and to reexamine them in light of intervening circumstances and complexities of 21st century life. Truths are universal—but they also require reinterpretation by each generation.
This book provides me with a special opportunity to respond to reader letters sent to Joseph Murphy after his death in 1981. While I was researching his life, I discovered a cache of these letters in the files of one his of publishers. It was heartbreaking to read these earnest, handwritten pleas to a man no longer living. You will find a selection of these letters in the afterword, along my own responses. Since human needs are universal, I believe that my personal replies speak to everyone’s situation. You will see that these reader letters cover the globe, from Nigeria to Sweden. This gives you a sense not only of Murphy’s authorial reach but also of the commonality of all seekers.
In order to benefit from The Power of Your Subconscious Mind and Murphy’s other works it is unnecessary to agree with his every concept or rationale. I do not. Being a seeker does not entail being a follower. We are here to experiment with and prove ideas in our own lives—not to accept or enforce anything, including what I write in this book.
My greatest hope is that these five lessons stimulate your own thoughts and experiments. The Power of Your Subconscious Mind is a book of universal truth primarily because it is your book—it is a workshop of practical experimentation, which I beckon you to enter, build within, and then bring your results into the world.
—Mitch Horowitz
CHAPTER ONE
Joseph Murphy, Pioneer of the Subconscious
Literally millions of readers in different languages around the world have read Joseph Murphy’s The Power of Your Subconscious Mind. When I meet people who are interested in New Thought or mind metaphysics, they often tell me that Murphy’s book is their lifelong favorite. People not only read it, but annotate, underline, and reread it. Each time you return to the book it proves a treasure of fresh ideas to help you harness the metaphysical forces of thought. Personally, I’ve been reading and rereading Murphy’s book for years.
Since its publication in 1963, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind has taken its place alongside other 20th century mind-power classics including Think and Grow Rich, The Science of Mind, and The Game of Life and How to Play it. But these books do not belong to just one time period. Each generation must reinterpret the greats of practical metaphysics to suit its own needs and outlook. That is the purpose of this Master Class.
The Power of Your Subconscious Mind remains as relevant today as when Murphy wrote it; but there have been intervening developments in science, psychology, domestic life, finance, and the ever-expanding experience of seekers, all of which require contemporary readers to revisit Murphy’s work in a manner that is faithful to the original but addresses the challenges we face today.
As a historian and seeker, I have my own theories and interpretations of what is occurring when thought concretizes into reality, and also about the extent and limits of thought force in our physical sphere. In this five-chapter Master Class, I share those insights along with augmentative methods and techniques to attempt.
