What is Science of Mind?
Ernest Holmes founded the International Religious Science movement and wrote "The Science of Mind" as well as 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. Ernest believed that God is available to all of us, but that we must give up our limiting ideas and cultivate an awareness of the Presence within us if we are to experience the fullness of God.
Ernest Holmes defined Religious Science as: The Science of Mind is a spiritual philosophy for today. It is a correlation of laws of science, opinions of philosophy and revelations of religion, applied to human needs and the aspirations of every person.
Can We Talk to God? (1934): As practical religionists, we seek to make our dreams come true.
Living the Science of Mind (1984): Out of years of study and thought emerged the system we call Religious Science because religion is our idea of God, while science is a knowledge of facts, causes, and principles which exist independently of our thinking, just as gravitational force does. Religious Science is a compilation of the great thoughts of the ages, the deep mystical yearnings of minds in search of God, and the modern approach to a faith which can be demonstrated. (p. 69.5)
Religious Science (1932): Religious Science is not the special revelation of any individual; it is, rather, the culmination of many revelations. We take the good wherever we find it, making it our own in so far as we understand it. The realization that good is universal and that as much good as any individual is able to incorporate in his life is his to use, is what constitutes the Science of Mind and Spirit. (p. 24.1)
New Thought Dictionary (1942): Religious Science. A spiritual philosophy which deals with the unity of all life, and which proclaims that God Power exists at the center of every person. (p. 124.3)
Science of Mind Magazine (May 1992 p. 21.) Our religious outlook is a universal one. There is tolerance in its concept, and inclusion. The Infinite is all-embracing. We work in harmony with all religious beliefs, since each in his own way seeks the ultimate Cause, God the “Father which art in heaven.” The one who understands the Science of Mind will be tolerant, kind, and sympathetic.
What is a Practitioner?
Practitioners are Licensed by the Centers for Spiritual Living after completing extensive training in the eternal perspective of life and the art of Spiritual Mind Treatment – a healing form of prayer.
After completing multiple pre-requisite courses, students can begin Practitioner training. Licensing is available after
(a) completion of a two-year course of study
(b) successfully passing a written, comprehensive final exam and
(c) being recommended by the three Ministers/Practitioners from their oral panel.
Practitioners must renew their licenses every two years. Renewal requires Them to continue taking classes, providing service, and providing financial support to the Center. Our Minister ensures that the Practitioners provide the highest quality of service to their clients and the congregation.
