Speaker 1 (00:00):
Have you ever found yourself in that situation where you're
just pouring all your energy, all your time, doing everything
you think is right, you know, following all the sensible advice,
making logical choices, Yet what you truly desire, what you're
working so incredibly hard for, it just seems to perpetually
slip through your fingers.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Oh. Absolutely, that feeling of running flat out on a
treadmill but staying in exactly the same place.

Speaker 1 (00:24):
It's maddening, right, And sometimes it gets even worse, doesn't it.
It's like, instead of getting closer, you somehow end up
with the complete opposite of what you wanted.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
It's bewildering, especially when you look around you see others,
maybe people who don't seem to be working half as hard,
and they just glide success abundance. It just seems to
find them effortlessly. You can't help but ask why, what's
their secret?

Speaker 1 (00:48):
Is it just luck or is it something deeper? That's
exactly the question we're diving into today. And look, this
isn't about you know, magic spells or just wishful thinking.
We're aiming to uncover a really fundamental answer here, drawing
from some powerful insights, particularly from Joseph Murphy's work on
the subconscious mind.

Speaker 2 (01:07):
It's about understanding this powerful, often completely unrecognized operating system
that's constantly at work inside every single one of us,
whether we realize it or not.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
Honestly, these are insights I wish I'd understood years, maybe
even decades ago. It would have saved a lot of struggle.
So consider this deep dive your shortcut to understanding the
hidden mechanics behind success, well being, and yeah, genuine personal fulfillment.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
We've distilled it down into six I think really pragical
and transformative takeaways. The goal is to help you not
just understand this power, but actually start harnessing it exactly.

Speaker 1 (01:42):
It's about understanding the blueprint, the foundational system that really
dictates so much of our reality.

Speaker 2 (01:49):
The core idea really is that your subconscious mind holds
the key. It's the absolute key to unlocking the life
you truly desire. Understanding how it works isn't just theoretical fluff.
It's like getting the destruction manual for consciously building your reality.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
Okay, so let's unpack this take away. Number one, getting
crystal clear on the difference between your conscious mind and
your subconscious mind. Murphy uses a great analogy here. Think
of your conscious mind as the captain of a ship.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Right. The captain's up there on the bridge, seeing the ocean,
feeling the wind, deciding where to.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Go, perceiving the external world, making those logical decisions, issuing
the orders, directing the ship let's sail to that port.
That's the conscious mind.

Speaker 2 (02:31):
And then deep down below deck in the engine room,
you've got the engineers. That's your subconscious mind. They don't
see the ocean, they don't know the destination. They don't
question the captain.

Speaker 1 (02:41):
Their job is just to follow orders.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
Blindly and meticulously. Whatever command comes down from the bridge,
they execute it, full speed ahead, hard to port.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
And here's the absolutely critical part. If the captain gives
a bad order, maybe one that steers the ship towards rocks.

Speaker 2 (02:57):
The engineers just do it anyway.

Speaker 1 (02:59):
They just do it judgment, no evaluation, They just execute
the command because the captain is supposed to know best. Wow,
that for me was the real aha moment, A crucial distinction.
You're subconscious, like those engineers, doesn't sit there thinking is
this a good idea? Is this true? Will this help us?

Speaker 2 (03:17):
Nope? Zero capacity for that kind of critical thought. It
simply responds with perfect obedience to the nature of the
thoughts and beliefs your conscious mind feeds it.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
It's an executive function, but without the judgment part.

Speaker 2 (03:29):
Precisely. Another way to think about it. Another analogy Murphy
uses is fertile soil. Your subconscious mind is like incredibly
rich fertile soil. Whatever seed you plant in it a thought,
a belief, and idea.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
It will grow, whether it's a good seed or a
bad seed.

Speaker 2 (03:44):
The soil doesn't care. It doesn't distinguish between, say, a
delicious apricot seed and a toxic weed. It just nourishes
whatever's plant it. You plant seeds of fear, you'll harvest
fear in your life. Plant seeds of success, you'll harvest success.
The soil just does its job.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
And this is where it gets well. Almost gary, isn't it.
The subconscious has zero sense of humor.

Speaker 2 (04:03):
Absolutely not. It takes everything literally, doesn't get sarcasm, irony, jokes.

Speaker 1 (04:07):
Nothing, and it can't argue back. I can't say, hey,
that's not right.

Speaker 2 (04:10):
It cannot argue or dispute the information it receives. If
you consistently feed it an idea, it accepts that idea
as absolute truth, and then it goes about organizing your
reality to match that truth.

Speaker 1 (04:23):
We see this so clearly with hypnosis.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
Right exactly. Hypnosis is a fantastic demonstration. A skilled hypnotist
can convince your subconscious that plain water.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Is pepper and you start sneezing uncontrollably.

Speaker 2 (04:36):
Or they can suggest you're a cat, and you might
actually start acting like one. Once the subconscious is convinced,
it just obeys no questions asked, which.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
Leads directly to this idea of the self fulfilling prophecy
of our thoughts.

Speaker 2 (04:49):
Take a really common phrase, something many of us say
without even thinking, I can't afford it.

Speaker 1 (04:54):
Oh yeah, that one's everywhere.

Speaker 2 (04:55):
If you say that repeatedly, or are more importantly, if
you deeply feel that limitation, your subconscious takes it as
a direct command. It hears, okay, the captain orders lack
of affordability, and so it diligently goes about manifesting circumstances
of lack in your life.

Speaker 1 (05:12):
And then we look at those circumstances not having enough money,
missing opportunities, and we blame external factors, the economy, bad luck.

Speaker 2 (05:20):
Right, but Murphy argues that often we were the architects
of those circumstances, unconsciously through our sustained thoughts and deeply
embedded beliefs.

Speaker 1 (05:29):
I have to say when I first grasped this, it
was a huge moment for me. I started actually listening
to my own internal chatter, that background noise, and I
was shocked, genuinely shocked at how pervasive the subtle negative
self talk was. Oh, that's too much for me. I'm
probably not qualified for that. This is just too hard.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
It's like you're unknowingly giving orders for scarcity.

Speaker 1 (05:49):
Exactly commands for struggle, without even realizing it. It really
makes you wonder how much of our daily difficulty comes
from just getting in our own way, interfering with our
own inner cisce.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
It's a powerful thought, and it goes beyond just the
words we say out loud. It's about the core beliefs too,
the unconscious convictions, maybe stuff we picked up in childhood
or from culture. Those can be even more powerful.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Like you consciously want success, but deep down you believe
money is bad or you don't deserve.

Speaker 2 (06:18):
It precisely, so you have this conflict. The conscious mind says, go,
but a deeper belief whisper, Stop and guess which one
the subconscious listens to.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
The dominant one, the one with the most emotional.

Speaker 2 (06:31):
Weight exactly, the one that's repeated, the one that feels
true on a gut level, That becomes the primary instruction.
It's the repetition, the sustained feeling that forms your reality.

Speaker 1 (06:41):
Wow, okay, so it really forces you to examine not
just your thoughts, but your deep seated feelings and beliefs
about things. So, given how easy it seems to accidentally
give the wrong orders, especially with negative self talk being
so common, how do we manage that?

Speaker 2 (06:57):
That's the million dollar question, isn't it? And it leads
us perfectly to the second major takeaway, which is your
fundamental right to thrive and breaking free from those self
imposed limits we just talked about.

Speaker 1 (07:06):
Okay, tell me more, because this might challenge some people.
Murphy argues, you have a right to be rich.

Speaker 2 (07:11):
He does, and he says, don't let anyone make you
feel ashamed for wanting that. He actually believes it's not
just okay, but very good to be rich.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
How does he justify that?

Speaker 2 (07:22):
He uses a really compelling analogy. He equates the free
circulation of money in your life to the free circulation
of blood in your body. When blood flows freely, you're
physically healthy. When money flows freely consistently, you're economically healthy.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
So economic health is just.

Speaker 2 (07:39):
Health essentially, Yes. And conversely, he sees poverty not as
some kind of virtue, but as an illness, like a
physical disease, something to be understood and cured, not accepted.

Speaker 1 (07:49):
That's a strong stance. So if you're physically ill, you
seek a cure.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Right, you'd see a doctor, find out what's wrong, take
steps to get better.

Speaker 1 (07:56):
So, by that logic, if you're constantly struggling with lack,
if money isn't circulating healthily in your life, and.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
Something is fundamentally amiss in your approach, there's something radically wrong, as.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
He puts it, Okay, so what is that something wrong?
What holds people back?

Speaker 2 (08:10):
Murphy identifies three major emotional patterns, three key obstacles. The
first one is.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
Envy, h the green eyed mons exactly.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
He tells this story from his childhood. He saw some
young guy driving a really expensive, flashy car, and the
immediate reaction from everyone around was judgment, criticism, envy.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
How does he get that must be doing something illegal?
Why him and not me?

Speaker 2 (08:33):
That kind of thing precisely those kinds of thoughts, and
Murphy stresses just how devastating harboring those envious thoughts is
to your own chances of success. Oh so, because entertaining
envy puts you in a negative state, it creates resistance
and wealth, opportunity, good fortune. They flow away from that negativity,
not towards it.

Speaker 1 (08:53):
You lose what you condemn. He actually says that, right,
he does.

Speaker 2 (08:56):
It's a powerful statement. You simply cannot attract what you
actively criticize or resent in others. It's like trying to
attract a butterfly by shouting at it.

Speaker 1 (09:05):
I can definitely relate to that initial gut reaction, though,
especially growing up in competitive places, it feels like someone
else's win is your loss.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
Sometimes it's incredibly common, but it's a trap. I've certainly
had to work on that myself, shifting from comparing and
competing to appreciating.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
So how do you make that shift from envy to
something more constructive?

Speaker 2 (09:25):
It starts by recognizing that your thoughts about someone else,
their success, their possessions are your thoughts. They originate in
your mind. So the feeling, the judgment, the energy you
direct towards them, you're actually creating that in your own experience. Yeah,
the suggestion you give to another, you give to yourself.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Because your subconscious just records it all.

Speaker 2 (09:45):
It records the feeling, the dominant idea. So the key
is to consciously transform that envy into genuine inspiration.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
So instead of why him, it's more like.

Speaker 2 (09:56):
Wow, that's amazing for him. If he could do it,
that proves as possible, so I can achieve my own
version of success too.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
You cultivate genuine happiness for them, wish them well, and
use their success as fuel, as motivation.

Speaker 2 (10:08):
Exactly, not as something that diminishes you, but as proof
of potential.

Speaker 1 (10:11):
That makes so much sense. I remember shifting my own
mindset like that. I used to see successful people almost
as rivals. But when I started genuinely appreciating their journey,
trying to learn from it, using it as inspiration, things
started opening up for me too. It felt like the
energy changed.

Speaker 2 (10:26):
That's the psychological impact right there. Operating from appreciation aligns
you with abundance. It tells your subconscious this is what
we want more of. It's not a zero sum game.
Someone else's light doesn't dim yours, it can actually show
you the way.

Speaker 1 (10:40):
Okay, powerful stuff. What's the second big obstacle?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
This one is super counterintuitive for a lot of us.
Trying too hard, also known as the law of reversed effort.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Trying too hard is bad. We're always told to hustle, strive,
push harder.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
I know, right, But think about this analogy he uses.
Imagine a wooden plank on the floor. Could you walk
across it easily?

Speaker 1 (11:02):
No problem, wouldn't even think about it.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
Okay. Now imagine that exact same plank is suspended fifty
meters high between two buildings.

Speaker 1 (11:10):
WHOA Okay, completely different story. My palms are sweating just
thinking about it.

Speaker 2 (11:14):
Exactly your conscious desire I want to walk across this
plank would immediately clash with your imagination, which would be
vividly picturing you falling horrifyingly. So. Yeah, and here's the
kicker the law of reversed effort. The more you try
to use sheer willpower. The more you force yourself to
overcome that fear of.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
Falling, the stronger the idea of falling becomes.

Speaker 2 (11:35):
Precisely your subconscious latches onto the dominant idea, which, in
this case, fueled by your effort against it, becomes the
terrifying image of failure.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
It's like that, well, don't think of a pink elephant
trick or a green hippo as the source mentions.

Speaker 2 (11:50):
Yes, the moment you decide not to think about it, boom,
there it is filling your mind, your subconscious response to
what's dominant, not necessarily what you logically want.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
We've all felt this, haven't We Like blanking in an exam,
you know the answer, but the harder you try to
force it, the further.

Speaker 2 (12:08):
Away its lips. Then you walk out, the pressure's off,
and poof, it comes back instantly.

Speaker 1 (12:12):
The mistake wasn't lack of knowledge, it was the intense
effort under pressure exactly.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
Psychologists call it performance anxiety. Your conscious mind, desperate to succeed, ironically,
focuses on avoiding failures so much that failure becomes the
dominant mental image, and the subconscious, just doing its job,
amplifies that dominant idea. Brute force will power backfires.

Speaker 1 (12:36):
So if forcing it doesn't work, what's the answer. Just
give up?

Speaker 2 (12:39):
Not give up on the goal, but give up the struggle.
The key, Murphy says, is relaxation.

Speaker 1 (12:46):
Relaxation, How does that help you?

Speaker 2 (12:48):
Stop straining, stop pushing so hard to figure out the how. Instead,
you focus on two things. First, know with absolute clarity
what the end result looks like.

Speaker 1 (12:58):
Get a clear picture of the destiny crystal clear.

Speaker 2 (13:01):
And second, and this is crucial, feel the happiness, the
joy of the relief, the accomplishment. You would feel as
if you've already achieved it.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
So it's the feeling and the imagination.

Speaker 2 (13:11):
That matter most paramount. You impress the finished state emotionally
charged onto your subconscious and what happens then then your
subconscious gets to work. It starts finding ways. Unexpected ideas
pop up, you meet the right people, new solutions appear
that you hadn't considered.

Speaker 1 (13:26):
But you have to be open to those unexpected paths.

Speaker 2 (13:29):
That's the often miss step. You must be open. Yeah,
we can get so fixated on how we think it
should happen that we block the actual, sometimes surprising solution.
The subconscious presence that.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Reminds me of the story and the source material about
the author's financial goal. They wanted a specific amount of
money right.

Speaker 2 (13:45):
And consciously decided it would come from their YouTube channel,
poured energy there but nothing much happened.

Speaker 1 (13:50):
But meanwhile they kept getting these feelings, these nudges towards
real estate, even though it wasn't part of their.

Speaker 2 (13:56):
Plan exactly, strong, persistent feel They resist it at first,
it seemed like a distraction, but the intuition was so
strong they finally decided to explore it.

Speaker 1 (14:06):
And astonishingly, a real estate deal came together quickly.

Speaker 2 (14:09):
And here's the mind blowing part. The profit from that
unexpected deal was almost identical, down to a few dollars
to the specific financial goal they had set and visualized.

Speaker 1 (14:20):
Wow. Just wow. And it wasn't a small amount either.

Speaker 2 (14:23):
No, a significant sum. And the author mentions this kind
of thing happened multiple times, the solution coming from an
unexpected direction, matching the visualized goal almost perfectly.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
So the lesson is it's not your job to know
how that's it.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
Your job is to know where you're going, the end result,
the feeling you're subconscious, the inner intelligence finds the best route.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Like going to a doctor, you describe the symptoms, you
trust them for the cure. You don't tell the surgeon
how to operate.

Speaker 2 (14:50):
Precisely. If you knew the solution, you wouldn't need the expert,
trust the subconscious expert within, listen to its nudges, be
open to its rising roots.

Speaker 1 (15:01):
It really ties into that idea of flow, doesn't it,
releasing the rigid control and allowing solutions to emerge. I
know I've blocked myself by being too fixated on.

Speaker 2 (15:10):
The house we all have. I think requires a degree
of surrender of trust in that deeper process.

Speaker 1 (15:16):
Okay, onto the third major obstacle. This one feels huge.

Speaker 2 (15:20):
Fear Ah, fear, the great sevotur Murphy points out how
fear can completely neutralize all your positive intentions.

Speaker 1 (15:28):
How does that work?

Speaker 2 (15:29):
I imagine you spend time doing powerful affirmations, vividly visualizing success,
feeling great about it.

Speaker 1 (15:35):
Okay, feeling positive, But.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
Then maybe just ten minutes later, you allow yourself to
slip into fearful thoughts, doubts, creep in, worries about failure surface.

Speaker 1 (15:44):
You've just canceled out the good work effectively.

Speaker 2 (15:47):
Yes, you've given conflicting orders. It's like that taxi driver analogy, Murphy.

Speaker 1 (15:51):
Uses, Oh yeah, the confused taxi driver.

Speaker 2 (15:54):
Right, you tell the driver take me home. Then a
block later, no, take me to the office. Then actually,
let's go to the park.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
The poor driver gets totally confused, doesn't know where you
actually want to.

Speaker 2 (16:03):
Go exactly, and you might end up going nowhere or
somewhere completely random. It's the same with your subconscious.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
So consistency is key a clear, unwavering idea.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
You must have a clear idea and make a definite
decision that a solution exists, that you are moving towards it.
No wavering because the subconscious always manifests the dominant idea.
If fear of failure is your dominant thought before an
exam or interview.

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Then failure is what you're commanding your subconscious to create.

Speaker 2 (16:35):
Sadly, yes, the fear itself becomes the instruction.

Speaker 1 (16:38):
Okay, so how do we fight this? How do we
overcome fear effectively?

Speaker 2 (16:42):
Murphy offers a very practical technique using vivid imagination. Let's
use his example of fearing swimming.

Speaker 1 (16:48):
Okay, I'm scared of swimming. What do I do?

Speaker 2 (16:49):
You sit quietly, maybe five ten minutes a few times
a day, get deeply relaxed, still your body, quite your mind.
Then you vividly imagine yourself swimming, but don't just think
about it, feel it.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Feel the water, the movement.

Speaker 2 (17:03):
Yes, feel the cool water on your skin, the motion
of your arms and legs, the joy, the ease, the
exhilaration of swimming. Confidently, make it intensely real and positive
in your mind.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
And this isn't just daydreaming.

Speaker 2 (17:16):
No, crucially, it's not idle daydreaming. You're doing it consciously
with the understanding that you are impressing this experience onto
your subconscious You know that this imagined reality will be
developed and expressed, so the next time you actually go near.

Speaker 1 (17:29):
Water, the feeling that comes up won't be fear, but
the joy and confidence I practiced feeling.

Speaker 2 (17:35):
That's the principle. The joy surfaces because you've made it
the dominant associated feeling.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
It's a law of the mind and this works for
other fears too. Interviews, exams, public speaking.

Speaker 2 (17:45):
Absolutely same technique. Relax, vividly, imagine the desired outcome, feel
the positive emotions associated with succeeding in that situation. Impress
that finished successful feeling.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
It's like mental rehearsal. Athletes do this all the time exactly.

Speaker 2 (17:59):
It beverages the brain's ability to strengthen neural pathways through visualization.
Your brain starts to treat the imagined success as a
familiar experience. You're essentially rewiring your response, making the positive
outcome feel more natural and achievable.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
That makes sense. I've used visualization for presentations and it
really does calm the nerves and improve performance. It feels
like you've already done it successfully once in your head.

Speaker 2 (18:23):
You're setting your internal GPS for success without the fear
static interfering.

Speaker 1 (18:28):
Okay, so we've covered understanding the conscious subconscious, tackling envy,
reversed effort, and fear. What's next?

Speaker 2 (18:35):
Next up? Takeaway number three architecting your desires the power
of visualization. This builds directly on overcoming fear. If clear,
dominant ideas are crucial, visualization is perhaps the most powerful
tool to create them.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
Seeing the goal in your mind's eye as if it's already.

Speaker 2 (18:52):
Real, exactly, vividly, concretely. And you want to ask, but
how can I see something that doesn't exist yet?

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Right? It seems impossible, but we humans do it all
the time. Think about the device you're listening on right now,
a phone, a computer. Someone saw that in their mind
long before it was physically built.

Speaker 2 (19:09):
The idea came first, the mental blueprint.

Speaker 1 (19:12):
Precisely, Murphy uses the phrase, we can count our chickens
before they hatch. In fact, we must.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
Like architects designing a building.

Speaker 1 (19:19):
Perfect example, an architect sees the entire finished building in
their mind, the look, the feel, the function before any
construction starts. The physical blueprints. Just capture that mental vision.
It would be.

Speaker 2 (19:31):
Insane to start building without that clear mental image first.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
Utterly absurd. Imagine asking a builder what are you building
and they say, no idea, just stacking bricks and hoping
for the best.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
You'd think they were crazy. Right.

Speaker 1 (19:44):
So visualization isn't just a nice to have. It's a
fundamental first step in creation, whether it's a building or
your desired life.

Speaker 2 (19:50):
Okay, So if it's that important, when is the best
time to do this visualization?

Speaker 1 (19:54):
Murphy is quite specific here. The optimal times are just
before you fall asleep at night or right after a
period of deep meditation.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
Why then, specifically because in those deeply relaxed, sleepy or
meditative states, the normal conflict or resistance between your conscious mind,
the logical, sometimes doubting captain, and your subconscious the accepting engineers,
is at its lowest ebb ah.

Speaker 1 (20:19):
So the subconscious is more receptive, less mental static, exactly.

Speaker 2 (20:23):
It's easier for to accept your visualized goal without the
usual conscious arguments or skepticism getting in the way.

Speaker 1 (20:30):
And visualizing before sleep has another benefit, a huge one.

Speaker 2 (20:33):
You're essentially giving your subconscious a clear assignment to work
on while you sleep.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Because the subconscious doesn't sleep, never rests.

Speaker 2 (20:41):
While your conscious mind clocks off, your subconscious is running
the show two hundred and forty seven, heartbeat, breathing, digestion,
cell repair, hair growth, everything.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
It's incredible when you think about it, all that complex
activity happening automatically.

Speaker 2 (20:55):
And Murphy points out and history backs this up that
many answers solutions are brilliant. Ideas emerge during sleep. Think
of scientists like Tesla or Einstein.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
They deliberately use sleep or deep rest to solve problems.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
They understood how to tap into that deeper processing power.
It wasn't just random genius. It was often insights received
when the conscious mind got out of the way.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
It's like the psychological idea of incubation. Letting the back
of your mind work on something precisely.

Speaker 2 (21:22):
Giving your subconscious a clear, emotionally charged goal before sleep
is like planting a seed in perfectly prepared soil and
letting it germinate overnight without interference.

Speaker 1 (21:33):
I've definitely found that thinking about a goal calmly before
sleep often leads to clarity the next morning. Sometimes even
in a dream, it feels like deputizing your inner problem solver.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
It really does, letting that deeper wisdom work the night
shift for you.

Speaker 1 (21:47):
So if the subconscious has this wisdom, how do we
actively get guidance from it when we're awake and facing decisions?

Speaker 2 (21:54):
That leads us perfectly to take away Number four ener
gps receiving guidance from your subconscious.

Speaker 1 (22:00):
Yeah, I'm stuck. I need direction on a big decision.
What do I do?

Speaker 2 (22:02):
The key, Murphy says, is to approach it by thinking
constructively and true. Constructive thinking is free from fear and worry.

Speaker 1 (22:10):
Easier so than done, sometimes true.

Speaker 2 (22:12):
But here's a simple technique he offers. First, quiet your mind,
relax your body completely, just let go.

Speaker 1 (22:20):
Okay, relaxed and quiet.

Speaker 2 (22:22):
Then what focus your thoughts on the solution, not the
problem itself. Briefly try to consciously figure it out, but then.

Speaker 1 (22:29):
Shift shift to what.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Shift to feeling the happiness, the relief, the sheer joy
you would feel if the perfect answer was already yours.
Really play with that feeling, immerse yourself in that mood
of happy resolution.

Speaker 1 (22:40):
Now feel the feeling of the solution already.

Speaker 2 (22:43):
Being here exactly, and then holding that feeling, just drift
off to sleep.

Speaker 1 (22:47):
And the answer will magically appear in the morning maybe.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
But if not immediately upon waking, don't stress about it,
get busy with something else, let your conscious mind get occupied.
Often the answer will just pop into your head later
when you least expect it, when you're not trying so hard.

Speaker 1 (23:02):
Persistence and faith are needed here too.

Speaker 2 (23:03):
Them Absolutely, it might not be overnight, but keep returning
to that feeling of resolved joy. As if the answer
is already known to your deeper mind. Your subconscious responds
powerfully to that dominant feeling.

Speaker 1 (23:15):
How does this guidance usually show up? A voice from
the heavens?

Speaker 2 (23:19):
Rarely that traumatic. More often it's subtle, an intuitive hunch,
a sudden inner knowing or awareness, a strong feeling urging
you towards a certain action.

Speaker 1 (23:30):
A gut feeling.

Speaker 2 (23:32):
Very much so. And the absolutely critical part is once
you get that hunch that feeling, you need to follow it.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Even if it seems illogical, especially.

Speaker 2 (23:42):
If it seems illogical to your conscious mind, you have
to follow it with faith and courage, never doubt its power.

Speaker 1 (23:50):
This sounds like the story about the lost ring.

Speaker 2 (23:52):
Ah. Yes, a perfect illustration. Murphy used this exact technique
to find a valuable lost family ring. He relaxed, felt
the joy of having back, asked to subconscious to reveal
its location.

Speaker 1 (24:02):
And he got a hunch, a.

Speaker 2 (24:04):
Very clear, strong hunch, go ask the young neighbor boy.

Speaker 1 (24:06):
Robert, which made no logical sense at all.

Speaker 2 (24:08):
None whatsoever. Why would a little kid know anything about it?
Murphy consciously hesitated, thinking it was irrational, but.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
He followed the hunch anyway.

Speaker 2 (24:15):
He decided to trust the intuition. He went and asked Robert,
and Robert immediately said, oh, yeah, I found that ring
a few days ago. I put it on the table
at home. I'll go get it.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
Unbelievable. The illogical hunch led directly to the answer.

Speaker 2 (24:30):
A stunning demonstration of trusting that inner guidance even when
it defies conscious reason.

Speaker 1 (24:35):
I've had moments like that, a random thought, a weird
urge to call someone or go somewhere, and it turns
out to be exactly right. It feels like your energyps
just knows.

Speaker 2 (24:44):
The way it often does. That intuition is frequently your
subconscious processing vast amounts of data beneath your conscious awareness
and delivering a synthesized insight as a hunch or a feeling.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Makes you wonder how many times we ignore those nudges
because they don't fit our logical plan.

Speaker 2 (25:01):
A sobering thought, isn't it learning to listen and trust
that inner voice is a real skill?

Speaker 1 (25:06):
Okay, moving towards the end. Now, takeaway number five sounds
really profound. The gift of renewal, subconscious and forgiveness.

Speaker 2 (25:13):
This one hits deep from many people. Addressing the breedings
of guilt and regret.

Speaker 1 (25:17):
We often carry Murphy starts by talking about how life
itself is inherently forgiving.

Speaker 2 (25:22):
Yes, think about it. You cut your finger, life instantly
starts healing it. New skin forms. You burn your hand,
the body works to regenerate. Life doesn't hold a grudge
against you for the injury. It just heals, renews, moves forward.

Speaker 1 (25:37):
But we humans often don't extend that same forgiveness to ourselves,
do we?

Speaker 2 (25:41):
Sadly no, So many people carry baggage from the past.
Harsh words said years ago, mistakes made, opportunities missed. They
replay it, blame themselves, suffer over.

Speaker 1 (25:51):
And over again, that constant feeling of if only or
why did I do that? It can really weigh you
down immensely.

Speaker 2 (25:57):
It poisons the present and hinders the future.

Speaker 1 (26:00):
So if you're caring regrets like that, Murphy offers something
incredibly liberating here based on science.

Speaker 2 (26:05):
Yes, listen closely. If this resonates. Modern biology tells us
something remarkable. Every single cell in your physical body is
replaced roughly every eleven months.

Speaker 1 (26:15):
Every cell replaced.

Speaker 2 (26:16):
Every single one. And this applies psychologically too, as our
minds and neural pathways also change and renew. Now, think
about the profound implication of that scientific fact.

Speaker 1 (26:25):
What does it mean?

Speaker 2 (26:26):
It means, quite literally, you are reborn every eleven months.
Whoa reborn biologically and psychologically? Yes, the person who committed
that act or spoke those words years ago is not
the same person you are right now at a cellular
and experiential level.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
So if I'm still beating myself up for something I
did five years ago, you.

Speaker 2 (26:47):
Are essentially blaming an innocent person, your current self, for
the actions of a past self that, in a very
real sense no longer exists.

Speaker 1 (26:56):
That's mind bending.

Speaker 2 (26:57):
Think about it with hindsight. If you could relive that
past event today with your current knowledge and maturity, would
you act the same way?

Speaker 1 (27:04):
Almost certainly not. I've learned things since then.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Exactly so, doesn't it make complete sense logically and compassionately
to forgive that past self, release the burden, and stop
punishing the current view.

Speaker 1 (27:14):
You're forgiving someone who effectively doesn't exist anymore.

Speaker 2 (27:17):
Precisely, It's like clearing out old, expired emotional baggage. It
offers such freedom, such a path to self compassion.

Speaker 1 (27:25):
That perspective is incredibly powerful. It lifts such a weight.

Speaker 2 (27:28):
It really does, and psychologically, releasing that guild frees up
enormous mental energy. Energy you can then use for positive
growth and action now instead of being stuck in the past.
It allows genuine.

Speaker 1 (27:41):
Healing, aligning with life's natural renewal. I like that. Okay,
our final takeaway for today number six the inner healer,
subconscious and well being.

Speaker 2 (27:52):
This ties everything together beautifully. Focusing on the mind body connection.

Speaker 1 (27:57):
Think about an intricate watch okay, a complex mechanism.

Speaker 2 (28:00):
If you were the master watchmaker who designed and built
that watch, and it stopped working. You know exactly how
to fix it, right. You understand every gear, every.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
Spring, Naturally, I made it well.

Speaker 2 (28:10):
Murphy suggests, your subconscious mind is the ultimate watchmaker, the
master architect of your body. It created you sell by sell.
It knows inherently how to heal, restore, and maintain every
function perfectly.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
It runs everything automatically, heartbeat, breathing, digestion.

Speaker 2 (28:25):
Two one hundred four to seven, awake or asleep without
any conscious effort from you. Imagine if you had to
consciously control your heartbeat, you wouldn't last five minutes.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Complexity is staggering.

Speaker 2 (28:35):
Far beyond our conscious comprehension. Even our most advanced medical tech,
like a heart lung machine, is child's play compared to
the constant, intricate operations of your subconscious maintaining your life.

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay, the subconscious is the master healer and operator. But
there's a catch, right, there's the catch.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
While your conscious mind cannot operate the body, it can
definitely interfere with its harmonious operation.

Speaker 1 (28:59):
How does it interfere?

Speaker 2 (29:00):
Think of putting someone with zero flight training in a
plane's cockpit. They can't fly the plane. But they can
sure mess things up, distract the pilot, hit wrong.

Speaker 1 (29:07):
Buttons, cause a crash.

Speaker 2 (29:09):
Exactly in the same way, the negative outputs of your
conscious mind, chronic worry, anxiety, fear, depression, act like that
untrained person in the cockpit. They interfere with the harmonious
functioning of your heart, lungs, stomach, immune system, everything. They
create physical and mental disturbance. Chronic stress disrupts the subconscious healer.

Speaker 1 (29:29):
So the conscious mind's negativity makes us sick.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
It certainly disrupts the body's natural state of harmony and healing.
It throws scatic into the system.

Speaker 1 (29:37):
So what's the solution when we feel out of sorts
physically or mentally.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
The advice is profound yet simple. Let go relax, slow
down those racing.

Speaker 1 (29:48):
Thoughts, and be a bodyguard for your mind.

Speaker 2 (29:50):
Yes, be vigilant at the door of your conscious mind.
Only allow positive, harmonious, healthy thoughts and feelings to enter.
Consistently feed your sub conscious thoughts of harmony, health.

Speaker 1 (30:02):
Peace, and expect the best.

Speaker 2 (30:04):
Keep your conscious mind busy expecting the best possible outcome.
Imagine the happy ending, the perfect health, and feel the reality.

Speaker 1 (30:11):
Of it, which brings us back to that core principle.

Speaker 2 (30:14):
The feeling of health produces health. The feeling of wealth
produces wealth. It's a dominant feeling that instructs the subconscious.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
So make health and abundance the dominant idea, the dominant feeling,
not sickness or lack trust the inner watchmaker.

Speaker 2 (30:27):
Precisely, this view gives you incredible agency over your own wellbeing.
That highlights the powerful mind body link science is increasingly
validating your thoughts aren't just thoughts, they have real physiological effects.

Speaker 1 (30:39):
Wow, we have covered so much ground today. It's been
a deep dive. Indeed, we started with that crucial distinction
conscious captain subconscious engineers, understanding how literally our subconscious takes
our thoughts like ferral soil.

Speaker 2 (30:55):
Then we tackle those self imposed limits, realizing our right
to thrive and pinpointing the big three obstacles envy, trying
too hard, and fear, and crucially how to counter them.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
We learn to be architects of our desires through visualization,
especially before sleep, letting our subconscious work wonders overnight, and.

Speaker 2 (31:15):
We explored our energps, learning how to receive and trust
intibitive guidance even when it seems illogical. Like the Lost
Ring story showed us.

Speaker 1 (31:23):
That that incredibly freeing concept of renewal through forgiveness based
on cellular regeneration, letting go of the past, selfs burdens.

Speaker 2 (31:30):
And finally understanding the subconscious as the inner healer, the
master architect of our body, and how vital it is
to stop interfering with its work through conscious worry and fear.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
This really is a practical framework, isn't it Not just theory.
It's about actively directing this incredible power we all possess.

Speaker 2 (31:45):
Absolutely puts the reins back in your hands.

Speaker 1 (31:47):
So to leave everyone with something to really all over,
here's a final thought. If your inner world, your dominant thoughts, feelings, beliefs,
truly creates your outer experience, what one single dominant thought, feeling,
or core belief could you start cultivating today that would
most dramatically shift your reality, maybe even starting tomorrow.

Speaker 2 (32:09):
We really encourage you to experiment with these ideas, apply them,
observe the shifts, however subtle. At first, Start tending the
garden of your mind, plant.

Speaker 1 (32:17):
Only the seeds you truly want to see grow. This
has been a fascinating exploration.

Speaker 2 (32:21):
It truly is an ongoing journey of discovery and conscious creation,
