The Magic Keys


Book Description

The Magic Keys winningly evokes the coming to maturity of one of the great characters in contemporary American literature: Scooter, the central protagonist of Albert Murray’ s highly acclaimed autobiographical novels Train Whistle Guitar, The Spyglass Tree, and The Seven League Boots. Growing up brilliant and curious in Alabama, Scooter was told he was destined for greatness. Now newly married and a graduate student in humanities at New York University, he goes about discovering just what he is destined to be great at. Anchored by Eunice, his “Mrs. Me,” Scooter makes the rounds of Manhattan’ s libraries, jazz hangouts, galleries, skyscrapers, and endlessly fascinating streets, meeting the people who will help him find his way: dapper Taft Edison, who is setting their down-home dialect onto the pages of his novel-in-progress; Joe States, a drummer who brings old expectations to Scooter’s new life; and Jewel Templeton, no longer his girl but still a believer. When his budding career takes him back to Alabama, Scooter discovers both the promise of everyday bliss and intimations of adventures to come. In his inimitably musical, ardent prose, Murray captures the joyful rhythms of youth and the pulse of life at the moment when everything seems possible, in an exhilarating, tender, and masterfully crafted novel.

The Magic Keys

Once you discover the methods to master ideas, you master yourself and everything around you. In eight enticing steps, the author of The Power of Your Subconscious Mind teaches you how to harness and transform your ideas in all areas of life, including money, health, relationships, worry, and the wish for security. Murphy also explores “the fourth way to pray”—a dramatic yet simple method that opens you to a new world of possibility. This collection, part of a new series called Joseph Murphy’s Golden Lessons, is edited and introduced by popular voice of esoteric spirituality Mitch Horowitz. It includes Mitch’s short bio of Murphy and a timeline of the teacher’s life. “Ideas of self-image,” Mitch writes in his introduction, “shape your existence.” Allow The Magic Keys to help you realize the full breadth of that truth and how to benefit from it.
