About the author
Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) was the American writer and teacher who founded the Religious Science movement, part of the New Thought tradition that treats mind and belief as active forces in shaping experience. His central work, The Science of Mind, first published in 1926 and reissued here in a definitive edition and a deluxe leather-bound edition from Tarcher, draws on the teachings of philosophers and on Eastern and Western spiritual traditions to lay out a practical system for applying spiritual principles to everyday life. The book became one of the most widely read works of American spiritual thought in the twentieth century and remains the doctrinal foundation for Centers for Spiritual Living congregations. It is written for readers seeking a systematic, non-denominational framework connecting thought, belief, and practical living rather than a devotional or narrative text.
