ERNEST HOLMES

"I believe God was in this man, Ernest Holmes. He was in tune with the Infinite."

Norman Vincent Peale

"Science of mind bears the same relation to religion that natural science bears to the laws of nature. It is a science of mental and spiritual phenomena, and as such it appeals to adherents of all religious beliefs, as well as to those who have no particular religious conviction; it appeals to all students of life."

Ernest Holmes

Ernest Holmes has made a contribution of international proportion to changing the consciousness of so many people alive today. By founding the movement of Religious Science that eventually became an organized religion, Ernest gave the world a gift of how to practically apply the laws of Spiritual Principles, which are widely acknowledged in many world religions, by using a tool referred to as Spiritual Mind Treatment. As the Science of Mind book jacket states, "While imparting a technique for living that has rarely been equaled."

Ernest Holmes began the development of this technique through years of study. From the time he was a small boy through out his life time he seemed to have an insatiable curiosity to not only understand the Truth of Spiritual Principles, but to learn how to practically apply them to everyday life in such a way as to irrevocably change one's life for GOOD. Ernest was born January 21, 1887, on a small farm near Lincoln, Maine. He was the youngest of nine boys. His parents were William and Anna Health Holmes. Ernest attended rural schools like many of his counterparts at that time. However, according to Ernest, "I quit school when I was about 15 and didn't go back except to study public speaking."

Ernest did go on to become an internationally known speaker. His was dedicated to study all the major religions, major philosophers and truths of science and merge the laws and ideals inherent to all so that he could create a practical way of understanding what is true of life, how it works and how do we practically apply this knowledge to everyday life. He founded the New Thought religion which has grown into a life changing organization of Religious Science that's vision is to empower the individual to make his or her personal connection with this thing called, God, Life, Infinite Spirit, living from conscious choice with an understanding that Life is Good.

Ernest was a prolific writer, a few of his works are
