| Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) was the
founder of a movement known as Religious Science, also known as "Science of
Mind," a part of the New Thought Movement. Ernest Holmes was the founder of
Science of Mind magazine which has been in continuous publication since
1927. Ernest Holmes books, radio broadcasts and recordings continue to reach
an audience of thousands of people world-wide, and the principles Ernest
Holmes taught as his Science of Mind have inspired and influenced many
generations of metaphysical students and teachers.
Ernest Holmes' approach tended to
focus less on defining a cosmology than other New Thought movements such as
the Unity School of Christianity. |

Ernest Holmes denied any "special
revelation", contending that Religious Science was not the "only
way", but instead a "good way". Ernest Holmes published numerous
books, and Ernest Holmes books include "The Science of Mind",
"The Art of Life", and numerous other
metaphysical books. Ernest Holmes taught that religion is "open at the top,"
viewing it as an evolving work in progress. In a biography written after his
death, his brother Fenwicke cited Ernest Holmes' expressed opinion that all
beliefs are valid to those who hold them. |

Ernest Holmes has been grouped by
critics among the practitioners of the many "mind cure" movements. Others
have argued that New Thought ideas have been melded into the popular
culture. The influence of New Thought authors, including Holmes' work, upon
the subsequent New Age and human dynamics movements has also been noted.
Holmes did not believe in reincarnation or magic, but taught spiritual mind
treatment, a type of scientific prayer. Ernest Holmes taught that there is a
natural law, and we can use it; and that we create our experience of reality
with our thinking. |
