The Basic Ideas Of Science Of Mind

Practical Philosophy “However, today we find increasing numbers of scientific men emerging from that age of materialism. This is due to the fact that modern science has not theoretically been able to resolve the material universe into purely mechanical energy, but has discovered that the smallest particles which it supposes to exist exercise a sort of volition, which of course leaves room for freedom. Once you establish freedom and volition as an operating factor in connection with the energy which

SPIRITUAL REALIZATION “Clear thinking, health, happiness, friendships, and prosperity are all important and worthy. They are steps on the stairway up which man climbs in his ascent in spiritual realization.” The Basic Ideas of Science of Mind, pg. 77 Self-denial A traditional approach to spiritual realization would include repetitive prayer, painful disciplines, suffering misfortune, social isolation, and poverty. Most who take such a path of self-denial expect to realize something of great value

The Basic Ideas of Science of Mind: “In your contact with everyone you must be aware of the necessity and the high privilege of putting all the good, kindly, thoughtful, helpful, encouraging, and inspiring qualities into actual practice as you deal with people.” One’s awareness of the necessity and privilege of putting divine principles into practice is the consciousness of righteousness, or as Holmes referred to it, right thinking. Righteousness may be understood as the right use of our mind, and

Holmes referred to as Mind to focus on the intelligence of It, the creativity and self-awareness of It, the spirit of It all. Most of the other good names for the infinite deity had already been taken and defined differently by each group who used them. Holmes wished to refer to God in a way that would not carry forward unintended and ill-defined connotations. “So we arrive at the conclusion that we, too, at our level, possess a creativity similar to that of the Universal Mind. We create in our experience

CONCLUSION Religion of Science Ernest Holmes asks us to consider three general classifications of knowledge: 1. Science: “… the organized knowledge of natural law and its application to life.” 2. Philosophy: “… the opinions one holds about the world, life, and reality.” 3. Religion: “… any man’s belief about his relationship to the invisible universe.” “We might speak of a pure religious science as we would speak of a pure natural science, which means the study of natural causes. We might speak

The Science of Mind philosophy is not an abstract spiritual theory, but rather, a study of Consciousness, and, specifically, our expression of It. Ernest Holmes considered this study of Mind to be a science, in that it correlates principles and practices that can be applied and proven to be effective. Even so, the correlation of principles and practices is not what makes the Science of Mind a practical philosophy to live by. Anyone can deduce principles and devise practices that enhance and advance

nature of God. Your garden is creative because it is the nature of Life to create. Your thought is creative in the same way a seed is creative: it provides the limits through which the limitless Life is expressed. Love “The universal creative Law of Mind, of which you are a part, creates for you according to your choice. Too often that choice is determined by emotional attitudes, without due regard to thoughtful decision. Too often it is a negative emotional

Affirmative Prayer On pages 82 and 83 of The Basic Ideas of Science of Mind, Holmes provides an example of a prayer for physical healing. It may serve as a standard by which we measure our own prayer and realization. Whenever Holmes writes something that you do not understand or cannot agree with, examine its meaning and definition; and then examine your own thought that disagrees with these statements, which are true no matter what the condition and circumstance of your life. The following
