The Science of Mind. As such, it may be his most important book besides the textbook. These short pieces abound in counsel and guidance in metaphysics, spirituality, and healing. Here too is the history of New Thought and Religious Science; insights into the mystics; pointers on treatment; and analysis of our fears and insecurities.

Founder of the worldwide Religious Science movement, formulator of the Science of Mind philosophy, and author of metaphysical bestsellers, Dr. Holmes continually sought to simplify his teaching and get people to "use" it. In these pages he speaks directly to you in a one-on-one tutorial." />

A Word from the Publisher
T HE ESSAYS collected in this book have been drawn, with two exceptions, from Ernest Holmes' 48-lesson Home Study Course in the Science of Mind (subsequently titled, Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life), which was first issued in 1939 as an alternative to the study of the Science of Mind at a Religious Science center or church, and which took on these essays in 1953. Since the course has been available only from the Religious Science organization in Los Angeles as advertised in its magazine, Science of Mind, the essays have quite understandably been overlooked by many others besides those who took their instruction with a teacher or minister.
Ranging in length from a single page to several pages, these self-contained pieces stand wholly on their own, without the necessity of being read consecutively, having originally been keyed somewhat loosely to the study-course lessons they accompanied. For the lessons themselves, the reader should turn to the six volumes of Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life. However, for the text of some of Ernest Holmes' most important writings, he need go no further than this book.
The essays gathered here stand in unique relationship to the body of Holmes' work, which spans approximately forty years. Serving as in-depth commentary on the many topics of his textbook, The Science of Mind, these pieces together make a companion volume to the textbook that nothing else in the corpus of Holmes' writings, with the possible exception of his How to Use the Science of Mind, quite does. Using the Topics & Pages table provided on p. xi, the user of this book should be able to locate subjects directly related to any part of the teaching portion of the textbook (i.e. pp. 25-422 of The Science of Mind).
A word about several of the essays is in order. Two of them are taken, with the kind permission of the estate of Ernest Holmes and the United Church of Religious Science, from the long-out-of-print anthology Mind Remakes Your World (1941), edited by Ernest Holmes and Maude Allison Lathem. These are "The New Thought Movement" (p. 64), which is all but a dated portion of the introduction to the volume, and "Science of Mind" (p. 7), which was Holmes' contribution to the body of the anthology. The essay "A Brief History of New Thought" (p. 58) is given in its entirety except for several consecutive paragraphs on mysticism that bear no clear relation to the essay and that may have been accidentally interpolated, especially since the paragraph immediately following them takes up precisely where the text before them leaves off. However, because of their inherent interest, we have printed them as an essay in their own right with the title "What the Mystics Have Taught" (p. 56), borrowed from the title of the relevant chapter (20) in The Science of Mind.
As for the unused material from the six-volume study course, besides the lesson material keyed to the Science of Mind textbook, we have omitted the serial commentaries on Thomas Troward's Bible Mystery, Bible Meaning and on Ralph Waldo Emerson's essays "History" and "Spiritual Laws"; the keys to metaphysical charts appearing in the textbook; all but one of the treatment-meditations given separately from the essays (the sole exception being too exemplary to omit; see p. 434); poetry; and all but one of the longer pieces that have since been issued separately as booklets (the exception being "What We Believe" [p. 83], an important document a somewhat fuller statement of which appears in the booklet What Religious Science Teaches ).
In compiling these essays the effort was made to group them topically instead of adhering to the more random order in which they appear in the six volumes. While such an arrangement is necessarily somewhat subjective, it is hoped that the present ordering will nonetheless be of help to the reader. The compilation roughly corresponds to the following topical outline:
Topics & Pages Science of Mind 1-27 Religion, Spirituality, New Thought, Religious Science 28-106 God 107-150 Man 151-167 Yourself 168-195 Law 196-223 Forces 224-244 Healing 245-265 Your Word 266-276 Treatment 277-337 Supply & Prosperity 338-349 Fear & Error 350-392 Happiness & Fulfillment 393-434
Publication of this book makes widely available, for the first time, some of the most mature and interesting, personal, and helpful of Ernest Holmes' writings, covering a broad range of topics. As such, it should prove to be a sure guide to the Truth student and a rare companion to, as well as commentary on, Holmes' masterpiece, The Science of Mind .

What Is the Science of Mind?
T HE S CIENCE of Mind is an outgrowth of the spiritual faith which people have had throughout the ages. Before science was conceived, the Presence of God was felt. Before ever mental actions or reactions were analyzed, history was filled with instances of men and women who had experienced God.
The Science of Mind is comparatively new, but the mental experience of the Invisible Universe is as old as the history of man. It is new in that for the first time in history we have put together all findings which contribute to the establishment of man's relationship with the Universe, to the end that he may be able to apply his spiritual understanding to the everyday problems of human life.
This science necessarily starts with the proposition that we are living in a Spir
