The power of your subconcious mind- joseph murphy

Use Imagination, Not Willpower 
Working harder does not lead to better results. Use no willpower. Instead, visualize the end 
and the state of freedom it produces. You will find your intellect trying to get in the way, 
trying to find ways to solve the problem and impose those ways on the subconscious. Resist 
this. Persist in maintaining a simple, childlike, miracle-making faith. 
How Disciplined Imagination Works Wonders 
A wonderful way to get response from your subconscious mind is through disciplined or 
scientific imagination. 
Whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. 
The Three Steps To Success In Prayer 
1.
Acknowledge or admit the problem. 
2.
Turn the problem over to the subconscious mind, which alone knows the most 
effective solution or way out. 
3.
Rest with a sense of deep conviction that it is done. 
Doubt and hesitations only weaken your prayer. Do not say to yourself, “I wish I could be 
healed” or “I hope this works.”

Say to the condition and circumstance, “This too, shall pass.” 
When You May Get Opposite Of What You Pray For 
When your desires and imaginations are in conflict, your imagination invariably gains the day. 
Suppose you have to walk on a narrow plank on ground, you will easily do it. But suppose 
the plank is 20 feet above ground, between two walls, then you won’t. The reason is your 
desire to walk and your imagination come into conflict. The more effort you put into 
conquering your imagination or supressing it, the greater strength is given to it. 
The thought “I will use my willpower to overcome my failure,” reinforces the thought of 
failure creating self-defeat. 
You have to take an examination of some kind. You have put in a lot of time studying and 
reviewing the material. You feel as if you know it well. But when you face the exam paper 
you find your mind is blank. All your knowledge has suddenly deserted you. You grit your 
teeth and summon all the powers of your will, but the harder you try, the farther the 
knowledge seems to flee. 
Frustrated, you leave the examination room. The mental pressure eases. Suddenly the 
answers you were hunting for so desperately a few minutes ago flow tantalizingly back into 
your mind. The mistake was you forced yourself to remember.
