What Is Religious Science? If You Are New to Religious Science, This Is a Great Article That Explains This Mental Science in a Clear and Simple Way Weekly Discussion Guide January 2017 Sample January’s Theme: Spirit is Calling Happy New Year. And Happy New You. We trust that this year you experience only the highest and best in all that you do. This week’s discussion guide is based on the article written by, the Founder of Religious Science, Dr, Ernest Holmes. The article is entitled Back to Basics. Keep in mind that this is writtenin the language of his time. Therefore, when Dr. Holmes uses the term man he is referring to mankind. The article starts on page 76 in the Science of Mind magazine. Open the inner ear. Be receptive and available to hear what is wanting to be revealed through you, as you, because, Spirit is Calling. Calling you to Be more, Do more and Have more. What is Religious Science? If you are new to Religious Science, this is a great article that explains this mental science in a clear and simple way. If you have been using or living this philosophy for some time, it is a great reminder of what this teaching is all about. Under the section “What Is Religious Science,” Dr. Holmes states that, “There is no mystery involved in the study of mental science; its root principles are those that underlie our common life and need but be clearly stated to be understood.” It’s good to know that there is no mystery to this science, this philosophy, this way of life. And, Dr. Holmes infers that consistent practice is called for when he says, “It is taken for granted that the sincere student is ready to devote himself to a serious study of the subject, for such is required in any branch of human knowledge.” People usually come to this teaching because they are ready to change their lives. They are tired of the same old way living life, even if their lives are going well. They may sense that there is something more to be experienced. 1. How do you see this teaching changing or enhancing your life? Dr. Holmes reminds us that, “Truth reveals itself in all its beauty and helpfulness only to the earnest seeker, but all who seek it earnestly and persistently are abundantly rewarded in their quest.” In other words, Dr. Holmes is indicating that it takes consistent practice to look for, or seek the truth of any life situation. 2. Do you make it a consistent practice to seek or look for the Truth in all its beauty when life throws a curve? If so, please explain. If not, please explain. Fundamental Principles In this section, Dr, Holmes states, “The first principle fundamental to an understanding of life, including all human experience, is that the whole universe, of which man is a part, is spiritual in its essence. This fact may be more readily understood if we speak of this spiritual essence as mental in its nature; the two terms spiritual and mental are synonymous in their meaning.” In other words everything is spiritual, everything is mental. 3. What is your thought or feeling about this? According to Dr Holmes, there is a Cosmic energy and intelligence (Mind) that is the creative power of all that exists. This power is eternal and is the unifying power in all manifestations. Keeping in line with this explanation, you have the power to create or manifest what you want to experience in your life. This Principle must and does manifest through you because you are one with the Infinite Mind of the Universe. 4.What is Spirit calling you to bring forth in your life now? Our Individual Mind In this section, Dr. Holmes is very clear when he states, “Therefore, man, in his real nature, is a mental or spiritual being; the world he lives in is a world of ideas, of thoughts, of emotions, of mental actions and reactions. There is no life without Mind.” You probably have heard the phrase: We are Spiritual Beings having a Spiritual experience on this physical plane. According to Holmes it could also be said in this way: We are Mental Beings having a Mental experience on this physical plane. No matter how we put we are the co-creators of our lives simply because we create with our thoughts. Holmes makes this very clear when he states, “Man is Mind; and since Mind is a unit, man is an individualized center in this universal mentality which is none other than the Mind of God. Very powerful statement of Truth. 5. Will knowing change the way yoou might live your life? If so, how? The Law of Prayer Dr. Holmes informs us that “…through the ages and in every faith, people have been healed by prayer. Since the fact of such healings is incontrovertible, there must be a law governing them.” He goes on to say, “Nothing is ever a result of chance, the caprice of nature or the indulgence of God. All that is or that may be has behind it some beneficent and unerring law that is at once impersonal and universal.” When you really think about it, this is very powerful because our prayers are formed in the mind first, right? It is a declaration of something specific. When we speak our prayer we are to do so knowing that there is a universal law that takes our words and then returns that prayer to us manifested, demonstrated, revealed or simply put, answered. Dr. Holmes further explains “The prayer of faith, therefore, is the expression of a very definite spiritual law – a law that underlies the conscious uniting of our specific need with the Power, the Intelligence and the Love which constitutes the very heart of all life.” 6. From this insight, in what way will this change the way you pray? What a great way to start the New Year. With a greater sense of knowing that you are more powerful than you may have believed before now. Like all sciences, we ask that you ‘experiment’ with these teachings. Try it out. You may find that by changing the way you think will absolutely change your life. Putting you in the perfect position to hear that Spirit is calling, and it is calling you.

  • What Is Science of Mind Or Religious Science?
    AFSI Class Lecture 2015 What is Science of Mind or Religious Science? The simple answer to the question, (the one I can give you in 10 minutes) can be found in Wikipedia. It says: “Science of Mind was established in 1927 by Ernest Holmes (1887–1960) and is a spiritual, philosophical and metaphysical religious movement within the New Thought movement. In general, the term "Science of Mind" applies to the teachings, while the term "Religious Science" applies to the organizations. However, adherents often use the terms interchangeably. In his book, The Science of Mind, Ernest Holmes stated "Religious Science is a correlation of laws of science, opinions of philosophy, and revelations of religion applied to human needs and the aspirations of man." He also stated that Religious Science/Science of Mind (RS/SOM) is not based on any "authority" of established beliefs, but rather on "what it can accomplish" for the people who practice it.” This last statement is a very important one. Science of Mind is, above all else, a practice that is designed to produce tangible results in the lives of its adherents. Wikipedia lists 12 beliefs and 10 core concepts and I shall spare you the reading of them! Instead I shall attempt to summarize this Spiritual practice in this way: 1. The mind of God is always of the Good. 2. Your life results, flow from your mind aligned or misaligned with this Good. This requires learning new ways of thinking. This is why Science of Mind organizations see themselves as “Centers” of learning. The phenomenon called “The Secret” and ideas like the Law of Attraction from the teachings of Abraham / Hicks, find an enthusiastic audience in these Centers.

  • A New Age Case Study on Contested Models of Science
    CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, NORTHRIDGE QI EQUALS MC-SQUARED: A NEW AGE CASE STUDY ON CONTESTED MODELS OF SCIENCE, SPIRITUALITY AND THE ACQUISITION OF SCIENTIFIC KNOWLEDGE A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts in Anthropology By Garrett Sadler December 2014 The thesis of Garrett Sadler is approved: _________________________________________ ______________ Dr. Christina von Mayrhauser Date _________________________________________ ______________ Dr. Sabina Magliocco Date _________________________________________ ______________ Dr. Kimberly Kirner, Chair Date California State University, Northridge ii Acknowledgements There are many people to whom I am endlessly in debt for their guidance, wisdom, expertise, support, sympathy, counseling, therapy (lots and lots of therapy), and—simply put—genuine care for my success over the course of this project and, more generally, my graduate career. Thank you, Drs. Christina von Mayrhauser, Sabina Magliocco, and Kimberly Kirner. Each of you has played a significant role in developing and honing my skills and intellect in anthropological thought and, perhaps more significantly, in being a good person. Additionally, I would like to single out two students without whose friendship (more accurately, mentorship) I would not have completed this degree: Victoria Weaver and Kevin Zemlicka. Victoria and Kevin, I am honored to have you as such dear friends. From our mutual experiences in this program, I know that our bond is permanent. Please be prepared to keep assisting me with my many neuroses in the future. To all of those mentioned above, know that you have instilled in me aspects of character, personality, identity (or whatever the hell you want to call it) that will remain with me eternally.

  • Religious Movements and the Internet: the New Frontier of Cult Controversies
    Jean-Francois Mayer Religious Movements and the Internet: The New Frontier of Cult controversies Jeffrey K. Hadden and Douglas E. Cowan Editors Religion on the Internet: Research Prospects and Promises <Religion and the social order • Volume 8> Newvork JAi <An Imprint of Elsevier Science> 2000 Pages 249-276 RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS AND THE INTERNET: THE NEW FRONTIER OF CULT CONTROVERSIES Jean-Fran9ois Mayer ABSTRACT The development of the Internet has been seen with apprehension by some as a new, powerful proselytizing tool for emergent religious movements. The thesis of this chapter is that the Internet - being a means of commu­ nication which even lone individuals are able to use efficiently - has probably up to this point helped critics of religious movements more than the movements themselves. The chapter also defines various types of strate­ gies adopted in relation to the Internet (aggressive counter-attack, strong official presence, multiplication of Web pages by members, delegitimation, refusal). Using the concept of 'cyberspace propaganda wars', it attempts finally to identify some of the new battlegrounds. INTRODUCTION For missionary religious movements, the world of cyberspace may appear as offering unparalleled opportunities to spread their messages to far larger audi­ ences than has ever been possible with more conventional means of communication. In juxtaposition to the hope, those movements have occasioned Religion and the Social Order, Volume 8, pages 249-276. Copyright © 2000 by Elsevier Science Inc.

  • Auguste Comte and Consensus Formation in American Religious Thought—Part 2: Twilight of New England Comtism
    religions Article Auguste Comte and Consensus Formation in American Religious Thought—Part 2: Twilight of New England Comtism Kenneth S. Sacks ID Department of History, Brown University, Providence, RI 02912, USA; [email protected] Received: 19 June 2017; Accepted: 9 August 2017; Published: 15 August 2017 Abstract: Auguste Comte was the most influential sociologist and philosopher of science in the Nineteenth Century. Part 1 summarized his works and analyzed reactions to them by Transcendentalists and Unitarians from 1837 until just after the Civil War. Part 2 examines in detail the post-war Transcendentalist and liberal Unitarian institutions of the Free Religious Association and the Radical Club and their different approaches to spiritual faith based on intuitionalism and reliance on scientific proof. In the background to their disputes is the positivism of Auguste Comte, who served as an easy source of common criticism. But at the same time as they wrote against positivism, both intuitionalists and those who relied on science were significantly influenced by Comte. Once again, as in part 1, a community of discourse was formed through the need to create social bonds at the expense of careful evaluation of the philosophy they criticized. Keywords: Comte; positivism; intuitionalism; Unitarianism; Free Religious Association; Radical Club; Francis Ellingwood Abbot; Octavius Brooks Frothingham; Thomas Wentworth Higginson In part one, we saw how, mirroring its success in Great Britain, Comte’s Course was initially well-received in the United States by Transcendentalists and some liberal Unitarians who viewed positivism as both the appropriate approach to scientific discovery and a way of envisioning a progressive, ameliorative humanity.

  • Christian Science
    Christian Science An Evaluation from the Theological Perspective of The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod April 2005 (updated May 2014) History, Beliefs, Practices Identity: A religious body that may be classified as one of the Mind Science groups (others include the Unity School of Christianity, Religious Science, New Thought, aspects of the New Age movement, and others). Founders: Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910); Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (1802-1866) Statistics: The bylaws of the church prohibit publishing statistics. The church reports that there are about 2000 churches in 80 countries worldwide.1 As an organization, Christian Science has experienced a sharp decline in members over the past 30 years.2 History: Mary Baker (Eddy), the founder of Christian Science, was born in Bow, New Hampshire, in 1821. Raised as a conservative Congregationalist, she joined a Congregational Church in Tilton, NH, in 1838. However, she was never content with its doctrines, especially the Calvinist doctrine of “double predestination.” Plagued by illnesses throughout most of her life, Eddy acquired a passionate interest in medicine and healing. In 1862 she met Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, whose treatments, Eddy claimed, healed her of a spinal inflammation. It was Quimby who actually developed the religious thought behind Christian Science and the “mind sciences.” He had been studying “animal magnetism” and “mesmerism.” Animal magnetism was a theory advanced by Friedrich Anton Mesmer (1733-1815) according to which an unseen magnetic force is said to surround a person and when “transferred” properly, has the ability to heal people (his ideas concerning the magnetic field and hypnotism came to be known as “Mesmerism”).

  • Dr. Dechene's World Religions Course, Study Guide #1, Religious
    Austin Community College Austin, Texas, USA Introduction to Philosophy Professor: Arthur Dechene, PhD Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life The New Thought Philosophy and Christian Science: A Practical and Metaphysical Approach to Healing and Life In Science of Mind we learn that persistent constructive thought is the greatest power known and the most effective to change our lives. We need to keep maintenance of that right thought by continually supporting it with our Spiritual practices. Ernest Holmes Introduction: Christian Science and the New Thought philosophy (called by many “the Science of Mind”) grew out of the metaphys- ics of New England Transcendentalism, particularly as expressed by Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803-82), and out of the healing theory and practice of Phineas Parkhurst Quimby (1802-66) in the mid-19th century in Maine. Emerson understood that the source of the truth of God and of the divine perfect pattern of life is in—not outside— the human individual, and that the individual can and must rely on himself or herself to discover what is truly real and to live by that. In his famous Divinity School Address of 1838 he said that “the fountain of all good” is to be found nowhere but in the individual. Quimby understood that unhealthful beliefs and attitudes, often deeply buried and away from our surface aware- ness, cause disease, and that health can be restored by uncovering those beliefs and attitudes and substituting better ones in their places. In this he anticipated Friedrich Nietzsche, Joseph Breuer, and Sigmund Freud on their apprecia- tion of the subconscious by several decades.
