  • The 10 Core Concepts of Science of Mind Dr. Ernest Holmes, The
    The 10 Core Concepts of Science of Mind Dr. Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science and developer of the Science of Mind philosophy, gave this definition for his teaching: Religious Science is a synthesis of the laws of science, opinions of philosophy, and revelations of religion, applied to human needs and the aspirations of humankind. Dr. Ernest Holmes was a mystic who found God in the silence. Going within and experiencing God in the deepest part of himself was his spiritual practice. His spirituality was reflected in his living; he believed he was one with God, and he experienced that oneness in all that he did. As important as the mystical experience was to Dr. Holmes, he also believed that religion had to be applied to everyday life problems, as an integral part of the walk of faith. Wholeness involved the Presence, yes, but also the Power -- the two faces of the dual nature of God. Dr. Holmes developed the Science of Mind philosophy to reflect his twin beliefs that the inner experience of God gave entry to the Power of God and that changing the way we think about our conditions causes the Power of the Universe to change those conditions to make our lives better. Science of Mind identifies the spiritual principles that apply equally to everyone in every situation, and it teaches us how to use them for our advantage. In their 1993 revision of the Foundational Class curriculum, Religious Science educators demonstrated that the Science of Mind philosophy is based on 10 Core Concepts that serve as the organizing principles of the Universe.

  • 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.

  • The Myrtle Fillmore Collection—Finding
    Unity Library and Archives Myrtle Fillmore Papers 3033 Summary Description The papers of Myrtle Fillmore document primarily her work as correspondent for the Silent Unity Department of Unity School of Christianity. Myrtle Fillmore and her husband, Charles S. Fillmore, co-founded Unity School of Christianity, a New Thought, Christian, healing ministry based on affirmative prayer. Most of the collection consists of incoming prayer request letters and typewritten carbon copies of Fillmore's outgoing correspondence between January 1928 and October 1931. They include some handwritten postscripts and drafts of letters. A much smaller portion of the collection contains incoming prayer request letters and typewritten carbon copies of Fillmore's outgoing correspondence between 1890 and 1927. Of particular interest is a series of lessons from 1890 relating to the nature of God and humanity. Fillmore delivered some. Others may be notes from lectures, but all reveal the Christian Science influence of Emma Curtis Hopkins, a teacher of the Fillmores. A small assortment of notes and papers is related to Wee Wisdom, the children’s magazine founded and edited by Myrtle Fillmore. Personal correspondence and ephemera comprise the remainder of the collection dating from 1853. Quantity: 9 linear feet Donor: Probably Lowell Fillmore and the Silent Unity Department, c. 1936 Access: The collection is open with this note of caution regarding the Silent Unity Department File: researchers should note that Silent Unity correspondence was considered confidential between 1928 and 1931, as is current Silent Unity correspondence. Confidentiality was emphasized in each Silent Unity column in Unity magazine during the period. The Silent Unity Department File was likely saved only because it includes examples of Myrtle Fillmore’s writing.

Clearing is done by simply telling someone how you feel without accusing or blaming anyone for the situation. Demonstrate – To prove, or demonstrate, the validity of metaphysical principles by using them to create some desirable object, condition, or circumstance in your life. The physical expression of your spiritual work is referred to as a “Demonstration”. The Law – This term refers to the Law of Cause and Effect. It specifically applies to the recogni- tion of Spirit as the original, or First Cause, and physical manifestation as the effect. Mind – The term Mind, spelled with a capital “M”, refers to Universal Mind, or the Mind of God. In the familiar trilogy of Spirit, mind, and body, the term Mind is synonymous with the entire Trinity. Therefore, it represents a higher state of activity than our ordinary intellectual mind. It encom- passes all states of mind and being as an expression of Spirit.

  • Community News
    JANUARY 2021 COMMUNITY NEWS 2020 – A PUZZLING YEAR BY JUNE GUMZ If I had read the future in my little crystal ball in 2019, I would have invested in puzzles; easy puzzles, slightly difficult puzzles and puzzles with itty bitty pieces. Who would have thought that dusty boxes in variety store storage rooms and home attics would suddenly be in high demand? For seven decades puzzles did not tempt me. I had things to do: school, jobs, kids to raise. It wasn’t until I was house bound for months that puzzles attracted my attention. One day, when I complained to a friend that I was bored, she told me she found solace in puzzles. Whenever she wished to hug a family member or a friend, she concentrated on finding matching pieces until the feeling diminished. It helped. Initially, I chose not to invest in puzzles of my own because friends loaned me several of theirs. One of the boxes had a note attached which stated that pieces were missing. I set that one aside. The number of pieces in a puzzle determines how many hours it will take me to complete it. Three hundred pieces take me between one to three hours because the pieces are almost kindergarten size. A five hundred one takes me about three or four days and the ones with a thousand or more can take a couple of weeks of sporadic attention. Hand-eye coordination, concentration and frustration level are factors in puzzle completion. The process of connecting hundreds of pieces into a finished product is similar to the Musings .................................1 ways we handle many of life’s situations.
