The Power of Your Subconscious Mind - Forgiveness and Mental Release
Why Murphy Emphasized Forgiveness
Joseph Murphy considered forgiveness one of the most important practices for anyone working with the subconscious mind. He taught that resentment, grudges, bitterness, and unforgiveness create toxic mental patterns that block the subconscious from producing positive results.
When you hold onto anger toward another person, that anger occupies space in your subconscious mind. It colors your thinking, affects your emotions, influences your health, and shapes your experiences. Murphy saw unforgiveness as a form of mental self-poisoning — the person you resent may be entirely unaware of your feelings, but you are suffering continuously from the negative impression in your own subconscious.
