What
We Believe
Ernest Holmes, Founder 1927
We
believe in
God, the Living Spirit Almighty; One, Indestructible, Absolute,
and Self-Existent Cause. This One manifests Itself in and
through all creation, but is not absorbed by Its creation.
The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical
and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of
God.
We
believe in
the incarnation of the Spirit in all, and that we are all
incarnations of the One Spirit.
We
believe in
the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the
individual soul, forever and ever expanding.
We
believe that
the Kingdom of heaven is within us and that we experience
this Kingdom to the degree that we become conscious of it.
We
believe
the ultimate goal of life to be a complete emancipation from
all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to
be attained by all.
We
believe in
the unity of all life, and that the Highest God and the Innermost
God is one God.
We
believe that
God is personal to all who feel this Indwelling Presence.
We
believe in
the direct revelation of Truth through our intuitive and spiritual
nature, and that anyone may become a revealer of Truth who
lives in close contact with the Indwelling God.
We
believe that
the Universal Spirit which is God, operates through a Universal
Mind, which is the Law of God; and that we are surrounded
by the Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of
our thoughts and acts upon them.
We
believe in
the healing of the sick through the power of the Mind.
We
believe in
the control of conditions through the power of the Mind.
We
believe in
the Eternal Goodness, the Eternal Loving Kindness, and the
eternal Givingness of Life to all.
We
believe in
our own soul, our own spirit, and our own destiny; for we
understand that the life we live is God.
