The Science of Mind
by Ernest Holmes
The Science of Mind teaches a spiritual psychology, a way to use the Law of Mind to tap into the power of the Universe. It is much more than positive thinking –- it is active right thinking that can truly help you manifest good in your life.
This book was one of my early fundamentals. My mom gave it to me for my sixteenth birthday. This is what she wrote in the book:
My Dearest Sweetums, Happy Birthday! These pages contain a wonderful way of experiencing life. I pray that the concepts herein will be used by you as you grow into the great woman I know you will be. You are a wonderful blessing and I’m so proud of you. Be receptive. I love you! Mom
First of all, how amazing is my mom! I continue to use this book to this day–decades later. The Science of Mind teaches us that there is a Power in the Universe that honors our faith in It and that the mind must conceive before the Creative Energy can produce. This Creative Power, which many call God, is the First Cause. It is that invisible Essence, that ultimate Intelligence from which everything comes, the power back of creation–“the Thing Itself.” It explains that “when we learn to trust in the Universe, we shall be happy, prosperous and well.” Practice the treatments in this book consistently and you will manifest your best life.
