The Science of Mind

If you're focused on being healthy, you get healthier.

In The Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes said, turn away from the condition and focus on the desired result.

Put all your emphasis there.

Quantum physics would tell you is that there's an infinite field of possibility everywhere present.

Joyful greetings my friends from the Science of Mind Spiritual Center, a global community in unity.

I am deeply grateful for this weekly opportunity to gather together with people from all over the world and celebrate this thing called life.

Our theme for the month of November is Spirit's Boundless Blessings.

And if you need a reminder of the truth of who you are, or a refresher on how spirit works in your life, or if you sometimes forget to be grateful or feel as if you don't have much to be grateful for, we'll address each of these ideas.

Today, we'll focus on the truth of the wholeness of who we are by reconciling all parts of ourselves with nothing left out.

Ernest Holmes in The Science of Mind wrote, The whole purpose of the science of mind is to reconcile the apparent separation of the spiritual world, which must be perfect, with the material world, which appears imperfect.

Our experience is the logical outcome of our inner vision.

Our horizon is limited to the confines of our own consciousness, thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values, attitudes, and action.

And I've been a student of metaphysics and I've read, you know, the Bible, the Course in Miracles, Zen, Buddhism, all the great spiritual traditions.

I'm a student of Joel Goldsmith, The Infinite Way, and Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes, and Mary Baker Eddy, Christian Science.

So the question is, why are we the way we are? And so I'm at the stage where, in 20 years of the modern psychoanalysis, the idea is I wake up every morning and say, well, I'm still here, so God must have a purpose for me.

So in other words, it becomes to a point of allowing rather than efforting.

Sherry, when you say these words, it's so much my spiritual training.

I'm just like, how did you not take Ernest Holmes and Science of Mind?

But it's truth.

It is true.

Annie Ricks Millets, who founded the Homes of Truth in California and laid in her life in 1924 in New York.

A man named Ernest Holmes, who took private lessons with her and in 1926 published The Science of the Mind and founded religious science movement in Los Angeles.

The movement called her the teacher of teachers.

Hopkins taught that history moves through three dispensations, the age of the father, the age of the son, and the dawning age of the Holy Spirit, which she identified as the feminine principle in God and said that the age of the spirit would be the age of woman.

He was the synthesist.

And he synthesized those into the science of mind, into the textbook, and into the teaching.

And something that I was curious about is how often did Ernest Holmes, who was a very curious man, how often did Ernest Holmes use the word curious in the science of mind textbook? It is in there zero times.

Curious is not in the Science of Mind textbook.

Which, and I didn't go through and check the entire text, but it's not in the concordance.

And something like that would seem to belong in the concordance.

You know, some of us may be interested in exploring existence beyond our mortal bodies, and there's an event happening this Sunday at the Yucca Valley Center for Spiritual Living that you may be interested in attending.

Joe DeCato will be giving a talk titled Keep On Keeping On, which is about immortality and based on the teachings of Ernest Holmes, the founder of Science of the Mind.

Holmes once noted that, quote, if the soul can create and sustain a body here, there is no reason to deny its ability to create and sustain one hereafter.

Pretty interesting.

Knowing what you want, knowing why you want it.

Shout out to Science of Mind and Ernest Holmes.

Think of the biggest future you could ever imagine and then go bigger.

If you do not do this, your subconscious is going to drift aimlessly.
