Summary: Simply Superb!
Review: An outstanding book from the master practitioner of mind-power,Dr.Joseph Murphy.Although not as acclaimed as his other bestsellers, "The Power of your Subconscious Mind" and "The Amazing Laws of Cosmic Mind Power", this book PRESENTS the essence of Subconscious Mind Power in a more explicit way(See the following sentences from the Preface:"This mystic, wonder-working Power is within your own mind, and you can begin to use it immediately,as it is responsive to your thought.This Power is stronger than a laser beam,hydrogen,atomic or nuclear missiles, and more potent than all the energies and explosives in the whole world.It is the Power of the Infinite,or God,unlimited and inexhaustible") AND explains the IDEAL way to tune in with the Infinite thus:(Page125):"this is the Power and the Energy that guides the planets and the stars in their courses.This is the same Power which governs the billions of cells in your body....... .........Contemplate this Cosmic Energizer......Surrender to this Power and let It flow through your body,finances,business,home life,and all phases of your life.Let wonders happen in your life.") However,a common flaw in Dr.Murphy's other books is manifest in this book as well i.e. his strongly assertive statement,on Page 125:"God can do for us only that which He does through us.", which does not really jell with the previous sentence,"the powers of the Infinite,to which ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE"(emphasis mine). On the one hand,Dr. Murphy waxes eloquently on the UNLIMITED or LIMITLESS power of God or Infinite Intelligence and on the other,he puts a limitation on What God can do or how He can function. I also feel quite uncomfortable with his using the neuter gender('It')for the Supreme God of the Universe. Is it appropriate to call our Creator thus when we mortal human beings would never relish the prospect of being addressed in this manner? As J.Donald Walters points out in his outstanding book,"Superconsciousness:A guide to Meditation":'Something precious would be lost if we referred to the Godhead as It. For though God has no gender, God is not a thing.God is conscious;God knows us. God loves us.But one cannot keep on saying "God..."this and "God..."that without giving the impression that one is clumping about on stilts in an iris bed.Any attempt to be exact in one's references to God is almost laughable.How can the human mind even begin to grasp Infinity?' All said and done, this book is a wonderful and highly practical offering from the mighty pen of Dr.Joseph Murphy. I have myself benefited considerably from his several books including this one. Iam desirous of knowing the life history of this great man and I would be happy to receive the details through E-mail at the following address: raditya@md4.vsnl.net.in

Summary: Another Murphy Classic
Review: Here we have an another wonderful book by Dr. Joseph Murphy which also serves as a magnificent "sequel" to his best-seller, "The Power of Your Subconscious Mind". Dr. Murphy explains to a reader how he or she can employ the cosmic energizer and accomplish all those goals which one desires to achieve. His style, as always, is down-to-earth, very inspiring and uplifting to read. This book is probably another gem that everyone should have in their libraries, and it also back-ups some of the concepts explained in "Your Infinite Power to Be Rich". As usual, Dr. Murphy does repeat himself in different chapters, but it actually supports the theme of this book, and makes sure that a reader has understood everything. Also, this book makes great reading before you retire at night. Pick up randomly a chapter, and read it. After each chapter there is a useful "Main points in review" chart that makes it very easy to memorize the most important main things. I would suggest this book to everyone who is ready to progress on spirituality.

Summary: ANOTHER MURPHY WINNER
Review: Very readable and inspiring, like all of Joseph Murphy's titles. But I would suggest that one read "The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind" first, then proceed to the others. A typical chapter starts with a concise description of a topic, for example bringing more wealth into your life, then elucidating with examples of particular instances of how people effected this, interspersed with helpful suggestions for affirmations, and ends with "points to remember," a concise summary of the lessons of that chapter. Topics dealt with include abundance, healing, divine protection, finding lost treasure or objects, relationships and psychic phenomena. This last chapter includes information on Uri Geller and Dr. Henry Puharich. Highly recommended for inspirational reading, finding solutions to problems and for those interested in metaphysics and the esoteric.
