If you're interested in a more personable reflective take on his religious philosophy then this certainly helps. If you're looking for a more systematic explanation of that same philosophy, then this only continues the confusion. Great for picking out single lines or even entire small sections and using them to dole out in pithy hopeful wisdom, but as seems to be the case often the meaning of such things is often found in whatever the person using it wanted to say in the first place. If left alo If you're interested in a more personable reflective take on his religious philosophy then this certainly helps. If left alone, Holmes Living the Science of Mind is at best hopeful in his confusion and at worst, incapable of understanding just what the real ramifications of his thinking would lead to. Depending on the chapter there would be and may not be an answer to that. None of this is to say there are not genuine nuggets of gold to found here, but there are only ever selective parts that are taught and believed. But then, in that, he was truly religious. View 1 comment. Having read Ernest Holmes book "Science of Mind", I found "Living the Science of Mind" helpful in learning how individuals can put into practice Holmes' philosophy in a way that was easy to read and understandable. It put the ideas and language in terms that were understandable and comprehensible. I recommend it for anyone interested in pursuing an understanding of this perspective on life as Holmes understood it. Oct 05, Nancy rated it liked it.

  • The Voodoo Spiritual Temple
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by ASU Digital Repository The Voodoo Spiritual Temple: A Case Study of New Orleans’ Spiritual Churches by Stephanie Bilinsky A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved April 2016 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee Moses Moore, Chair Miguel Astor-Aguilera Jason Bruner ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY May 2016 ABSTRACT This dissertation takes the material culture of New Orleans’ Spiritual Churches as its point of the construction and application of academic categories in studies of religions of the African diaspora. Because I am interested in what emic explanations reveal about scholarly categories and methods, a dialogic approach in which I consult practitioners’ explanations to test the appropriateness of academic categories is central to this work. Thus, this study is grounded in an ethnographic study of the Voodoo Spiritual Temple, which was founded and is operated by Priestess Miriam Chamani, a bishop in the Spiritual Churches. The Spiritual Churches first emerged in the early twentieth century under the leadership of Mother Leafy Anderson. Voodoo, Pentecostalism, Spiritualism, and Roman Catholicism have been acknowledged as their primary tributary traditions. This study examines the material culture, such as statues and mojo bags, at the Voodoo Spiritual Temple as it reflects and reveals aspects of Temple attendees’ world views. In particular, material culture begins to illuminate attendees’ understandings of non-human beings, such as Spirit and spirits of the dead, as they are embodied in a variety of ways. Conceptions of Spirit and spirits are revealed to be interconnected with views on physical and spiritual well-being.

    NEW THOUGHT IN SOUTH AFRICA: A PROFILE by MARE VENTER submitted in part fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS in the subject RELIGIOUS STUDIES atthe UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR J S KRUGER NOVEMBER 1996 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS As a thesis of this nature is the product of inputs from many people, it is not always possible to acknowledge those individuals who have been around from the start in their inspiring and teaching capacities, as they have become part of one's thought pattern and life. Nevertheless, they are the ones who have given form and structure to one's existing understanding and consciousness. Many are no longer with us, and some have played an unnoticeable role, yet I am eternally grateful for the· part they have played in my development. I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to the following people who have taken a more active part in the compilation and completion of this project: Professor Kobus Krager, who immediately took an interest in the subject, and who, through his unique way of enthusing, guiding and encouraging one, gave form and structure to it. Wiebke, who in the initial stages, helped and assisted with proofreading of the text. Eileen Pearse for editing the thesis. Petra Rousseau, for her assistance with computer programs and technical editing of the text. Those individuals, who supplied me with biographical material and information on certain issues. All those willing interviewees, who gave me of their time, expertise, input and energy. This research study was based on your participation, as well as your active involvement in New Thought.

We tentatively suggest 1500-500 BCE as convenient limiting dates of the period,1 the latter marking the approximate date of the codification of Sanskrit by Påini and the transition from "Vedic" to "Classical" Sanskrit; the former perhaps approximating the beginnings of the g Veda, the earliest Indian text.2 Since (almost3) all our evidence for Vedic India is textual, much more fruitful than defining the Vedic period by date is defining it by texts.

It examines the evolution of the prosperity gospel as a strand of Pentecostalism in its country of origin, the United States. It then investigates the dramatic acceptance of the theology in selected pockets of the Pacific Rim, Latin America and Africa. Specific exemplars of the theology ─ famous pastors or burgeoning new denominations ─ are scrutinized and their methodologies for missionizing are probed. The study also touches on the theology’s impact on the rest of Christianity and on some other religions in the Global South. The reasons for the success of the theology in the Global South are considered.
