| What We Believe We Believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause. This One manifests Itself in and through all creation but is not absorbed by Its creation. More
Essence of Science of Mind - Science of Mind in its
broadest and truest sense includes the best in science, religion, and philosophy. Science of Mind is not a personal opinion, nor is it a special revelation. It is the result of the best thought of the ages. It borrows much of its light from others, but in so doing does not rob anyone, for truth is universal and never personal. More
Your Mind is Creative - We believe in spiritual mind healing; it is part of our conviction and our practice. At the same time we do not disbelieve in any form of healing, whether it be medicine, surgery, psychiatry, diet, or exercise.
Some people say to me they think that we should believe in only one. More
Standing Room Only - I consider Religious Science a thing of destiny or I wouldn't be here. I have given my life to it. I never even made a living out of it, because it doesn't interest me in that way. I think it is a thing of destiny. I believe that the evolutionary process, periodically in history, pushes something forward as a new emergence to meet a new demand. More
The Authority of the Soul - "The Word was with God and the Word was God." "The word is nigh thee, even in thy own mouth that thou shouldst know it
and do it." What does this mean? It clearly states that whatever power there is in the Word (and it says it is All Power) is also in our own mouths. There is no avoiding the fact that the Bible claims for us the same power in our own life and our own world that it claims for God. More
Looking Back - Someone said we didn't believe in Jesus; of course we believe in Jesus—and we believe in Buddha, in Socrates, and we believe in Abraham Lincoln! We believe in every Wayshower. And more than everything else, we believe in our own soul; the only
immediate testimony you and I will ever have that we exist, or that God exists, or that Jesus showed us a way. More
The Open Mind - We know that things are not always what they seem. For instance, the earth and the sky do not meet—the horizon is simply the limitation of our vision, but not a thing of itself. We also discover that the hurt has largely disappeared from experiences we have had, which at the time we were having them seemed very trying. More
Brave New World - There was a time when a man was so convinced that the world was round that he was determined to prove it. Columbus felt that if the world was round it could be circumnavigated. Superstition, ignorance, and fear
surrounded him, yet there were a few adventurous souls who dared to finance his expedition, for they had caught the vision from him because of his certainty. One man's courage and persistency, backed by an interior vision, made it possible to discover a new world. More
Law of Our Lives - Spirit creates through law. The law is always mind in action. Mind cannot act unless intelligence sets it in motion. In the great universal mind, man is a center of intelligence, and every time he thinks he sets
mind into action. What is the activity of this mind in relation to man's thought? It has to be one of mental correspondence; that is, mind has to reflect whatever thought is cast into it. More
The Light of God - Jesus told us not to judge according to appearances, because there is a perfection at the center of things. This is what he meant when he said: "Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect." It seems to me that the only way we can translate the meaning of these words is to accept them in their simplicity and interpret them as though they actually meant what he said—for
Jesus never wasted time in idle talk. More
Health Is Normal - Certainly in the successful experience of living, health is a prime factor. And in all probability nothing is of more importance, nothing of more immediate concern, than the present state of one's health. From a historical viewpoint, the idea of a connection between health and state of mind is anything but new. It was Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, who said: In order to cure the human body it is necessary to have knowledge of whole things. More
Spiritual Meaning of Freedom - Ever since the dawn of civilization,
ever since the first humans began to grasp the significant fact that they were individual beings in a universe that seemed to be more or less hostile to them, the entire search of the human mind, its whole endeavor, has been to get free from evil, from bondage and the shackles of lack, want, fear, superstition, uncertainty, pain, disease, poverty, and fear of the hereafter. More
Gateway to Tomorrow - Ernest Holmes - One of the questions so frequently asked me is, "Do you believe in eternality, and do you believe that all
people are eternal?" Personally, I consider that the eternality of the individual life has been conclusively proved; and I am convinced that you and I and everyone else are destined to live forever, because the life which we now experience is the life of God in us. It is this life of God in us that is eternal, not the external form of flesh. More
Biography of Ernest Holmes Ernest Holmes founded the International Religious Science movement and wrote The Science of Mind and numerous other books on metaphysics. He
also founded the international monthly periodical, Science of Mind magazine, which has been in continuous monthly publication since 1927 and has influenced millions of people. His Science of Mind teaching, which has been recognized by persons such as Jean Houston as one of the leading viewpoints in modern metaphysics, is a spiritual philosophy that people throughout the world have come to know as a positive, supportive approach to life.
