The Basic Ideas of Science of Mind

A brief account of the Science of Mind by the man who formulated it. Ernest Holmes has condensed the wisdom of his classic Science of Mind into this warm yet penetrating statement.

The Science of Mind is the study of Life and the nature of the laws of thought in a spiritual Universe. This philosophy believes there is One Infinite Mind that includes all there is, whether it be human intelligence or the invisible Presence of God, and is built upon the premise that we are living in a spiritual universe whose sole government is one of harmony where the use of right ideas is the enforcement of its law.

In 1927, a teacher, writer, and lecturer by the name of Ernest Holmes defined and established the Science of Mind philosophy by uncovering a clear and simple method he discovered while researching the wisdom of the ages from many disciplines. This newfound practical and spiritual approach to living an abundant life evolved into what is now the Science of Mind Textbook, which has been the cornerstone to Religious Science churches and Centers for Spiritual Living around the world.

Over the course of his life, the textbook became a beacon of light to millions of readers and followers, but to others, the 600+ page tom presented itself as an obstacle to beginners simply because of its intimidating size. In what turned out to be one of his last books before his death in 1960, Holmes published this introduction after its initial release as an article in the Science of Mind Magazine to help individuals easily understand the concepts before taking the first steps of their new spiritual journey.

DR. ERNEST HOLMES (1887-1960) is known to millions as a great leader and teacher; and to even more as the author of many inspirational books and tapes, such as CREATIVE MIND, THIS THING CALLED LIFE, and THE SCIENCE OF MIND.

A teacher, writer, and lecturer; Dr. Holmes founded the Science of Mind philosophy in 1927, and regularly appeared on television and radio. His signature saying, There is a power greater than you in the universe, and you can use it, became well known over the years. By taking a clear and simple approach in researching the wisdom of the ages from many disciplines, Ernest Holmes developed a practical, spiritual approach to living an abundant life and created the Science of Mind. Since early 1900's, the Science of Mind Textbook has been the cornerstone to Religious Science churches around the world.
