Introduction

Of Spririt and Science

By Mitch Horowitz

E ach of the three classics condensed in this collection shares two things in common. First, these are some of the most popular and clearly written modern works on the causative powers of the mind. And second, each writer sees his mystical insights as coalescing perfectly with, and supported by, the revolutions in modern science.

The Power of Your Subconscious Mind by Joseph Murphy, Atom-Smashing Power of Mind by Charles Fillmore, and The Secret of the Ages by Robert Collier were written at hopeful junctures in the twentieth-century when spiritual writers and social thinkers believed that the yearning for human progress and betterment could converge into a holistic philosophy, which would improve and benefit the lives of all people. Some of us still hold to that somewhat battered ideal today. You may find this hope swelling up anew within you as you experience the practical ideas in these earnestly written and deeply actionable books of popular philosophy and spiritual-psychology.

Written in 1963, The Power of Your Subconscious Mind sees the interior mind as harboring extraordinary properties of Higher Intelligence, which outpicture into the events of our lives.

Atom-Smashing Power of Mind, published in 1949 just after the dawn of the atomic age, argues that thought is the one-and-only power in the universe, and that it is synonymous with the same awesome energy unleashed by the splitting of the atom.

Finally, The Secret of the Ages, written in 1926, sees mental causation as the hidden power behind every event depicted in Scripture and myth, and in humanitys new understandings of evolution, cosmic order, and the wonders of natural science.

Each of these abridgments is filled with practical ideas on how to harness the higher psychology that the authors perceive as the human birthright. And each book is epic in scale, finding within the insights of science confirmation of humanitys highest strivings and assessments of itself.

INTRODUCTION

The Power of Thought

T his may be one of the most personally important books you ever encounter. I say that not because I agree with every one of its premises or ideas. But, rather, because author and New Thought minister Joseph Murphy identifies and expands upon one immensely important and undervalued principle: What you think dramatically affects your quality of life.

This idea has been restated from antiquity to the present. John Milton put it this way in Paradise Lost : The mind is its own place, and in it self can make a Heavn of Hell, a Hell of Heavn.

Murphy presents this principle as an absolute. He argues that thought governs health, finances, relationships, and all facets of life. I am personally unconvinced that every element of existence yields to thought alone. But within the folds of this ideathat mind is the master buildercan be found great truths. They are yours to discover, test, and benefit from. All that is required is to change how you think.

Murphys philosophy is profoundly simplebut it is not for the weak or myopic. If you take seriously what you find in this bookand I urge you toyou will discover that redirecting your thoughts toward resiliency and constructiveness requires a lifetime of effort. But it is a task worthy of every motivated, mature person.

You will also learn that your emotions must be brought into play for any real self-change to occur. Emotion is more powerful than thoughtnever confuse or conflate the two. The mind says, be satisfied with your portionemotion shouts, I want more! The mind says, be calmemotion wants to run away. The mind says, Im happy for my neighboremotion feels envy. Murphy supplies exercises to help align your emotions and thoughts in pursuit of a personal goal.
