The Science of Mind | Free Book
Ernest Shurtleff Holmes
First published in 1926, “The Science of Mind” is the religious theory
of Ernest Shurtleff Holmes, which posits that people can transform
their lives by actively engaging their minds into religious
activities. Holmes was the creator of Religious Science, a spiritual
movement, belonging to the larger New Thought movement, which believed
that science, philosophy, and religion could all be connected for the
betterment of each individual. According to Holmes, God is a
never-ending energy source, present in the whole universe. Through
prayer, a person can reach God and heal spiritual, mental, and
physical wounds. He believed that God’s action and will occurred in
the present and that with each and every choice a person makes, they
are creating the “Eternal Now”. Holmes argued that the universe was
neutral, allowing each person to dictate positive and negative
feelings in their life, allowing them to create their own individual
reality. While quite a revolutionary idea, “The Science of Mind” has
been used as an inspirational tool for those who feel spiritually
lost. Though not his first work describing the Religious Science
movement, Holmes’ “The Science of Mind” is often hailed as the text
which best illustrates the philosophy’s beliefs. This edition
reproduces the original 1926 edition.
