Introduction • Reviews |
His works on the power of the mind have influenced millions in the
same manner as the words of Norman Vincent Peale and Dale Carnegie.
A brilliant speaker, a gifted thinker, and an inspired writer, Dr.
Ernest S. Holmes founded the United Church of Religious Science,
an international ministry that still flourishes today. His message
is simple: The universe has intelligence, purpose, and order. By
understanding its principles and applying them to ourselves, we
can see who we are and what we truly want in life. The author's
metaphysical belief does not conflict with other religions. In fact,
it embraces the tenets of all the world's great religions.
Dr.
Holmes believed it was possible to understand our place in the universe
by integrating science, philosophy, and religion. In Creative
Mind, his first book, produced in 1919, the young Ernest
Holmes worked diligently to put together a simple guide for the
many thousands who came to hear his words and who wished to know
more.
Creative
Mind is a little book designed to explain what each person
must discover for himself about the nature of the universe and the
creative power of his own mind. Certainly, his message was not lost
on a generation that had just concluded "the war to end all wars."
However, Holmes's message is timeless and is as fresh today as it
was then.
Ernest
Shurtleff Holmes was born in 1887 on a farm near Lincoln,
Maine. In 1919, Holmes published his first book, Creative
Mind. In 1926, he published his seminal work, The Science
of Mind. In the following year, he founded the Institute of
Religious Science and School of Philosophy and its monthly magazine
Science of Mind. As his lecture series continued to grow in popularity
and his ideas took root, more and more Religious Science ministries
were established throughout the country. In 1953, the Institute
was renamed the Church of Religious Science and Philosophy--later
to become the United Church of Religious Science, with member churches
throughout the world.

Introduction
The hand of eternal progress is brushing the cobwebs from the corridors of time and is again revealing to the human race the mysteries of being. As there is "nothing new under the sun," the searchlight of Truth is bringing to light only what has been known to the few in all generations. The time has now come when the few must become the many. The whole world, from the least to the greatest, must know the Truth, so that man may understand the great laws that govern his life. He must learn to control his own destiny, to heal his own body and bring happiness to his own soul. Ignorance must vanish and understanding must be ushered in. Man is no longer to be governed by anything outside himself. Creeds, doctrines, churches, institutions, organizations, governments are all being changed to give place to the realization of the individual. There is a power in and through all that is working this great transformation. All that will not measure up to the standard must fall by its own weight; all that is in line with the Truth must still prosper. The time is at hand; we are in the greatest age of all history; we are in the age of the unifying of all people and all things into the "Ever Present One." "The temple not made with hands" is now being silently builded by the emancipated souls of this planet.
This little book is an attempt to explain what each soul must discover for himself, that he stands in the midst of an eternal creative power which presses itself around his own thought, and casts back to him glorified all that he thinks. If it awakens within the consciousness of one single individual the realization that the mind of the Universe (which is the only mind that there is) is his own mind; that the creative power of this mind is his also; that the manifestation of this mind is his own individuality; that the love and power and peace of this mind is within himself, it will not be written in vain. May it then do much in simplifying and bringing to light some of the deeper mysteries and meanings of life.
