The Power of Your Subconscious Mind | Joseph Murphy for Sleep

<p>An Irish boy left the priesthood, crossed an ocean, and built a new faith out of the human mind.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>This is the story of Joseph Murphy, the Irish-born minister whose single book on the subconscious mind has sold in the millions and has never left print. We begin with the boy who trained for the priesthood and lost his faith, the chemist who crossed an ocean, and the quiet preacher who found in a New York congregation a new American religion of the mind. From there we trace the tradition he inherited, the British judge whose ideas he carried, and the simple, startling model of two minds at the center of his teaching. </p><p><br /></p><p>We follow his redefinition of prayer, his practice at the threshold of sleep, his promises of health and wealth, and the impersonal God he made out of the God of his childhood. And we ask the hard questions in turn, whether the teaching is kind, whether it is true, and why, decades after his death, the world still cannot stop reading him.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Please listen only in safe, restful contexts.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>SUPPORT THE SHOW</p><p>Vote on what comes next: <a href="https://www.sleepyphilosophyradio.com/vote" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://www.sleepyphilosophyradio.com/vote</a></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Becoming a member keeps these episodes coming and unlocks the members only library of exclusive book summary episodes, a growing shelf of great books read closely and explained in plain language.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Subscribe: <a href="https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/sleepyphilo/subscribe" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/sleepyphilo/subscribe</a></p><p><br /></p><p>00:00:00 The Boy Who Left the Priesthood</p><p>00:10:42 The American Religion of the Mind</p><p>00:18:11 The Judge Who Weighed the Soul</p><p>00:24:34 The Gardener and the Soil</p><p>00:35:26 The Law of Belief</p><p>00:41:13 The Book That Would Not Die</p><p>00:52:42 Prayer Without a Listener</p><p>01:01:34 The Doorway of Sleep</p><p>01:07:27 The Body That Believes</p><p>01:14:57 The Heat of Conviction</p><p>01:21:32 The Promise of Plenty</p><p>01:28:47 Rewriting the Self</p><p>01:39:45 What Became of God</p><p>01:47:29 The One Mind</p><p>01:54:04 When the Law Fails</p><p>02:02:38 How Would We Know</p><p>02:12:44 The Minister at His Desk</p><p>02:19:07 The Long Afterlife</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Sleepy Philosophy Radio makes longform, carefully researched philosophy written as a serious essay and paced for rest.</p><p><br /></p><p>Music by Kevin MacLeod (<a href="http://incompetech.com/">incompetech.com</a>)</p><p>Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License<br><a href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/">https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a></p><p>Tracks used: Anguish, Blue Feather, Evening Fall (Harp), Gregorian Chant, Heartbreaking, Lightless Dawn, Lone Harvest, Magic Forest, Mesmerize, Mourning Song, Oppressive Gloom, Promising Relationship, Quinn's Song: A New Man, Relent, Smoother Move, Sunset at Glengorm, Trio for Piano Cello and Clarinet, Wounded</p>
