Dr. Joseph Murphy was a doctor of psychology and an Irish author, born in May 1898 and died in December 1981. Murphy is known to be a former proponent of the New Thought movement in the late 19th and early 20th century. 

He has written more than 30 books and some of his famous works include, ‘The Power of Your Subconscious Mind’, ‘Think Yourself Rich’ and ‘The Law of Mind’. 

A Glimpse Into the New Thought Movement

‘New Thought’ was a spiritual movement which coalesced in the United States in the 19th century and was preceded by “ancient thought” that accumulated wisdom and philosophy from variety of origins, such as: Ancient Greek, Roman, Muslim, Hindu, Chinese, Egyptian, etc. cultures and belief systems.

It primarily regarded interactions between thought, belief, conscious mind and their effects. The origins of this movement have been traced back to Phineas Quimby who was an American clockmaker, mentalist and mesmerist, or similar groups that incorporated this new thought philosophy and shared a set of beliefs concerning metaphysics, law of attraction, healing, positive thought, etc. 

The modern day proponents or adherents of this movement share core beliefs, such as:

  1. God or infinite intelligence is “supreme, universal and everlasting”.

  2. All people are spiritual beings - Divinity dwells within each person.

  3. “Loving one another unconditionally, teaching and healing one another”, is the highest spiritual principle. 

  4. Mental states are what manifest and become experiences in daily living.
