The Power of your Subconscious Mind and Other Works

by Joseph Murphy

It is not the thing believed in that brings an answer to man’s prayer; the answer to prayer results when the individual’s subconscious mind responds to the mental picture or thought in his mind.

Remember, it is not the thing believed in, but the belief in your own mind, which brings about the result.

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.

The ideas expressed come from the One Mind, common to all individual men. There is only One Source, and That is God. We do not originate anything; for all ideas live, move, and have their being in God. This Infinite Being, Consciousness, Awareness, or whatever we choose to call It is the only Originator—the Fountain of all. All men drink from this One Source or Spring. You will understand from these truths that when we look at the sun or a tree, we all see a sun and a tree, which shows that all of us are using the One Mind.

It really means to become aware of the Presence of God in the other, and to realize that God is actually being expressed through the thoughts, words, and actions of that person. To really know, accept, and believe these truths is to see the Christ in the other.

You are not living with people, you are living with your concept about them.
