The neuroscience behind Murphy's teaching
Murphy's work on the subconscious is the most directly applicable to modern psychology of any New Thought author. His sleep-state imprinting technique — impressing the subconscious with new beliefs in the moments before sleep — is essentially theta-wave programming: the brain's natural transition into sleep is its most receptive state for new beliefs because the critical faculty of the conscious mind is stepping down. This is the same window Neville's SATS technique targets, and it is neurologically real.
