We have forgotten who we are, and we are trying to remember.

This how Joseph Murphy frames humanitys predicament in the essay that opens this collection.

Murphy dedicated his long career to awakening readers and listeners from their slumberfrom their forgetfulness that, as beings fashioned in the image of Infinite Mind or whatever term one uses for the force of creativity, they, too, are beings capable of creation, causation, and even world-making.

Murphy saw life as a master class in the experience of realizing, or recalling, yourself as a creative being. He saw death not as an end but an enteral return to the source of Higher Mind from which all things emerge.

In this collection, Murphy refers to humanity as possessing greater powerscall them super powerswaiting to be refined, honed, and used, so that the individual can knowingly shape his or her world, rather than be shaped by chronic, rambling, and runaway thoughts. The seat of all power, Murphy taught, is emotionalized thought itself. All skills, abilities, and attainments are products of that greatest of powers.

We all live by assumptions. This is true whether we call ourselves believers, agnostics, materialists, or any other range of descriptions for how we relate to surrounding forces. Murphy challenges you to live by the assumption of greatnessof your relation to, and ability to wield, the esoteric powers of thought. If you accept his premise, and if you test it and find it promising, that act will go a long way toward engendering the feeling state that Murphy identifies as the royal road to harnessing and using your thoughts as tools of creation. Feeling is the secret, wrote Murphys friend and contemporary Neville Goddard. I am certain that Murphy would have agreed in every way with that statement. Combining thought and feeling, he taught, is the gateway to realizing your super nature: your power to create.

One of the points Murphy makes in this collectionespecially in his essay Realize Your Desireis that desire itself is sacred. Desire and need are goads to performance, ingenuity, and change. Without desire we would stagnate. We would suffer sameness and moribundity. We are conditioned to define desire as a longing; an unfulfilled desire can be painful. But Murphys encouragement is to greet desire as a hunger that delivers you. A hunger that pushes you to know yourself. If you follow his vision, you will discover yourself as a being of vaster dimensions than you imagined.

Desire, need, hungerdo you feel these things right now? You must if you picked up this book. Good. Those are the impulses that summon you to your super-self. To your realization that desire exists not to punctuate your sense of lack but to point you toward its fulfillment. Read this collection in a state of desire. And see if that desire, combined with the keys you find here, does not help you recall the being that you truly are.

T his book is about the 12 powers within you. Sometimes theyre referred to as the 12 signs of the zodiac, the 12 sons of Jacob, the 12 months of the year, the 12 hours in the day, the 12 powers of Hercules, the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12 gates of heavenly Jerusalem, the 12 pillars of the temple of Heliopolis, the 12 stars of Janus, the 12 shields of Mars, the 12 mansions of the moon, and the 12 apostles symbolized and portrayed. The 12 powers of man are the elements of consciousness.

The zodiac means the holy belt of animals within you. In other words, infinity, or the 12 powers. These powers must be disciplined and purified before you become illumined, before you become the God-man walking the earth.

The 12 sons of Jacob represent the 12 disciples also. Their names and meanings are referred to in Genesis as Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and so on. In Matthew theyre called Andrew, Peter, James, and John. They mean the same thing. It is our mission and purpose in life to discipline these faculties so that a Godlike man will appear on earth. Then like Job we can say, Yet in my flesh shall I see God.

Job asked this question as well, Where wast thou when I laid the foundation of the earth? Declare if thou hast understanding. Whereupon are the foundations that are fastened, who had laid the cornerstone thereof, when the morning stars sang together, and the sons of God shouted for joy? This is not a question asked of God by Job, but it is really a question asked by man of his higher self.

We have forgotten who we are, and we are trying to remember. Original sin has nothing to do with the physical sex act. It is man believing in the wisdom of the world, of the opinions of man, and using his intellect destructively.

Original sin simply means that man has forgotten his divine origin and accepts the opinions of men as the truth. Consequently, he errs because he does not know that his own I Am-ness is the Lord God Almighty. He dwells therefore in the land of many gods and the belief in many powers.

The man who loves truth and practices the presence of God is like a magnetized piece of steel. The man who is asleep to God is like a demagnetized piece of steel. The magnetic current is there, but it is asleep within him.
