Are you living the life you’ve always dreamed of, or have you settled for being less than truly happy? Do you secretly yearn for love, for freedom, for abundance, for peace, or for purpose? Are you ready to take back your power and become the author of your own destiny?
At the darkest moment of his life, Mike Murphy was shown a simple yet powerful method for manifesting his heart’s desires. He used it to change his own life: A broke, desperate, divorced, alcoholic young man became a wealthy businessman, loving husband and father, and passionate philanthropist. Now he shares the precise process that enabled him to make this extraordinary transformation. In his book, he will teach you how to tune in to the vibration at the heart of the Universe — the Creation Frequency — and use it to create lasting fulfillment, prosperity, and happiness.
We hope you’ll enjoy this excerpt from the prologue of The Creation Frequency: Tune In to the Power of the Universe to Manifest the Life of Your Dreams, in which Mike Murphy talks about the mystery man who introduced him to the idea that he could turn his life around and get everything he ever wanted, followed by what happened the second time they met and Mike started setting his intentions in earnest.

In just seven weeks, I will teach you how to turn your life around and get everything you ever wanted.
If a complete stranger made that promise to you, would you believe him? I did, several decades ago, and it was the most important decision I’ve ever made. I followed the instructions that stranger (I call him “the mystery man”) gave me — the same method you’ll learn in this book — and every one of my dreams came true. Now, I’m promising you the same. If you choose to believe me, you won’t regret it.
No matter where you are in life right now, I’m here to show you how you can have everything you ever wanted — and more. If you feel like everything’s going in the wrong direction, take a deep breath and stop. I’ve been there. It feels like being sucked down a drain with nothing to grab hold of. But this is the moment you can turn it all around.
It doesn’t matter how tough things seem, how badly you’ve messed up, how many bridges you’ve burned or hearts you’ve broken, including your own. It’s not too late to repair the damage and succeed beyond your wildest dreams. No matter where you are coming from, what mistakes you have made, how you have failed or stumbled on your path, you will not find judgment from me in these pages. I have known the path of fear and guilt and regret. And I have been blessed with the opportunity to turn it all around — to turn fear into love, guilt into gratitude, regret into hope. That’s the opportunity I want to offer you, too.
Maybe you’re thinking, “My life’s not all that bad.” But is it everything it could be? If you’re flatlining, not really going anywhere, I can show you how to break out of the numbness and let the energy of love propel you forward into possibilities you’ve never allowed yourself to consider. If your life has been pretty good up until now — if you’ve been blessed with a supportive family, a good education, and some degree of success — then I will simply show you how to accelerate your journey. And if you’ve been successful beyond your wildest dreams, but find yourself still feeling like something is missing, I can help you to discover the secret that will make all of it meaningful.
I’ve come to understand that there is an unimaginable power within each and every one of us. For some, this may seem like only a tiny, flickering flame, almost snuffed out by the negativity in the world and the limiting beliefs in our minds. But my goal in this book is to fan this flame, to make it bright and strong and powerful so that it radiates through you in everything you do. I’d like to share my story with you because if I can get there from where I was, you can get there from here, whatever “here” looks like for you.

The week after our initial meeting, the sun was shining as I drove through the sleepy suburban neighborhoods to the mystery man’s house.

He opened the door with a warm and sweet smile. “I had a feeling you would come back. You really do want to change your life. I promise you, I won’t waste your time.”
I handed him $50 in cash — the sum total of my tips for the week. Damn, I hated my job at the restaurant. It was badly run, the staff were treated poorly, the food sucked, and it was little wonder the customers didn’t feel like being generous when they paid their bills. I wished I could quit, but I desperately needed the money. My checking account was nearly overdrawn after paying my monthly child support. As I mulled over the sorry state of my financial affairs, my doubts rose again, clouding over the short-lived feeling of hope I’d had when I knocked on the door.
The mystery man seemed to sense my change of mood. “Don’t focus on your fears,” he told me. “Remember, thoughts are things. Whatever you give your attention to will send a vibration out into the Universe. Let’s continue the adventure of creating the life you truly want and begin moving from where you are to where you want to be. What dream do you want to work on today?”
In that moment, I realized I’d forgotten to do my homework. Grasping for whatever was at the top of my mind, it occurred to me that the restaurant would be a much better place to work and to eat if I was in charge. So I blurted out, “I want to own my own business.”
He smiled. “Well, let’s get to work.”
Desires, he explained, must be empowered by turning them into clear intentions. It is not enough to have a vague sense of direction — it needs to be brought fully into conscious awareness. “We instinctively move toward what we really want,” he told me, “when we become consciously aware of what it is.”
This time, as we worked on my statement, he taught me more about the particular style in which he was asking me to write my intentions. “These are not just words on paper,” he insisted. “You need to create a vibrant, multisensory life vision of what you truly want.”
~~~~~~~~~~
In the years since, I’ve distilled his invaluable advice into an eight-point Intention Creation Formula. Following this formula, you can write your intentions in such clear and powerful language that when they are transmitted, the atoms of the Universe will rearrange themselves to create the life you truly desire. When implemented faithfully, this formula will energize your intentions and remove any subconscious thought barriers that might otherwise inhibit their manifestation.
