Creating A World That Works For Everyone

"It can be taught, it can be learned, and it can be conscientiously applied with a certainty of definite and repeatable results."  ~Ernest Holmes

A practical philosophy, Science of Mind incorporates the mystical truths of every major religion. Sometimes called Religious Science, Science of Mind offers a simple set of spiritual tools that each of us can apply to our lives. It is based on the principle that Spirit is all there is, and that the Universe works by a system of predictable spiritual laws.

A cornerstone of Science of Mind is that Spirit works through the mind, the infinite creative power of the universe. That power—a natural Law—operates only through our own individual minds.  Practising Science of Mind does not require you to join an organization, subscribe to a series of lessons or forsake any other spiritual path.

Science of Mind has its roots in the 19th century New Thought movement and American Transcendentalism, which claimed that Spirit is an indwelling presence, instrumental in physical and spiritual healing. Such ideas stirred the thoughts of founder Ernest Holmes (1887-1960).

Although Ernest Holmes never intended to establish a church, many people who attended his lectures sought the fellowship of weekly Science of Mind gatherings. Today, Centers for Spiritual Living has nearly 400 affiliated communities worldwide. Because each center interprets the Science of Mind philosophy in its own way, services offer a variety of experiences. Our affiliated communities also offer classes in Science of Mind.
