Behind the Mask: Destruction and Creativity in Women's Aggression Book

Another good book by Joseph Murphy, and if you read his most prominent works you would catch onto his thought pattern and wonderful inspiring ideas. This book is saying that your mind can work miracles and it is up to you in how you use your subconscious i.e. mind. I particularly enjoyed the chapter "The Subconscious Mind and Health". We are blessed to have a pdf copy of this book online:

I particularly liked this quotes from the book:

Our prayers are not a begging for health, but are affirmations of
the healing of the unhealthy element the patient wants to attack
stated in such a positive, repetitious manner that eventually it sinks
into the subconscious, and becomes a part of that person,' Dr.
Parker said.


I would like to stress a few important factors here relative to the
workings of the subconscious mind. A man came to me one time
and asked me why it was when he kept on saying to himself, "I
have no headache," that the pain did not go away? The sub-
conscious mind will not easily accept this contradiction; it accepts
only what you believe and feel as true, or accept, as possible. If
you mentally accept the possibility of the execution of your idea,
the subconscious will cooperate. In order to impress the sub-
conscious mind, you must gain its cooperation. If you can convince
the subconscious mind you have no headache, the headache will go
away.


I suggested to him this method: Declare: "It is passing away," over
and over again quietly and peacefully. In this way he would be
better able to sell the idea or conclusion to the wise, deep self,
called the subconscious mind. He got results; he added something
to it, "It will never return." For years he has never had any
migraine attacks from which he suffered frequently. He had a
belief or an expectancy that every Tuesday and Saturday morning,
he would get migraine attacks. This feeling acted as an auto-
suggestion to his subconscious mind; the latter obliged him by
seeing to it that he would have a headache at the time specified. It
simply said, "It is Tuesday morning; the boss wants a headache."
The negative suggestion was removed by the above counter
suggestion.
