Book review – Mental poisons and antidotes

Hello readers

How are you this evening, hope you are happy and well?

Your mind is full of confidence or fear according to what you put into it.

-DR Joseph Murphy.

Mind, When you hear this word, how do you feel? Do you feel its presence in you, have you ever thought about controlling your mind, I mean to ask you have you considered controlling your thoughts?

I came across this brilliant book, written by one of the greatest psychologists this world has seen, Dr. Joseph Murphy, the title of the book is called “Mental poisons and their antidotes.

I am writing a few great lines I liked in this book.

To begin with, the author in the initial pages describes physical and mental poisons, physical poisonous are those substances if we ingest, will have adverse effects on our organ systems and can lead to bereavement.

Coming to mental poisons, he quotes examples like hate, fear, jealousy, and the reasons these mental poisons create in our minds is due to the continued illness, loss or unhappiness in one’s personal life or his family.

I was impressed by this incident mentioned in this book which happened in Russia, six hypnotised cats and conditioned cats were given cyanide of potassium with no fatal effects! While six other unconditioned animals died, so he concludes if we have the personal power of God within ourselves, we will nullify all deadly poisons, mental and otherwise.

So what is the prophylaxis, stop thinking in the wrong directions, if something negative happens with you so be it, why do we start beating the drum of tears, dissatisfaction and contempt to the whole environment you are living and contaminate it.

The second step would stop being afraid about, arthritis, cancer, heart diseases, diabetes for that matter any disease from this moment.

Your state of mind is your master. It is foolish to let that ignorant, blind, stupid monster fear to push you around and direct your activities.

Don’t let your thoughts bully you when you feel some disease has gripped you, and this thought boasts about itself in your mind with its pseudo-strength and intimidates You, don't let these thoughts bow beat you, fight against it so that your thinking becomes weak feeble and finally forces that bad beliefs leave your body.

This is just a synopsis of the book or you can call it a highlight of it, please go ahead buy this book and read it, you will get some positive energy in this world of negative minded people.

Meditate and pray upon positive and spiritual values, claim your ideal, solution, health or peace of mind upon the basis that the spirit within you is omnipotent and supreme and by thinking your solution or ideal with confidence and faith, you are containing your mind to the answer which you seek.

Thanks for your time, please let me know your thoughts in the comment box.
