Most Practical Way to Devour Religious Science and Life Principles

I agree with one of the other reviewers tthe book is the most practical way apply the Science of Mind priniciples to your life. One of the greatest concepts and ideas about Ernest Holmes and Science of Mind is that the principles and ideas are nothing new. Ernest Holmes did not claim to have any special revelation. He merely took the best of many different revelations and through persuasion decided to find the Church of Religious Science. CORS never claimed to be the one religion but a way in which one may be completely free from the bondages of fear, doubt, worry, poverty, sickness/disease and limination. Each chapter is broken down in laymen's terms. The book is a great companion to Science of Mind . Its all about realizing our Oneness with God/Universal and ultimately each other, and how the Oneness with the Omnipresent, Omnipotent, and Omniscient one manifest prosperity, abundance, and wholeness. Spirit is the one and ONLY source now and forever.

The Perfect Partner to the Science of Mind Text

This is a great book. It is a lot less technical than the Science of Mind textbook. It is comprised of several essays that are all written in a very "down-to-earth" style and each essay can probably be read in about 10-15 minutes. Now, just because you read the essay, don't think for a minute that now you know what Ernest Holmes is talking about because it will take you the rest of this life to apply his incredible ideas and magnificent insights. I'm sorry to disillusion you about the spiritual path. The Spiritual path is not a path of words; it is a path of dedicated application and every day presents its opportunities as well as challenges and that is a very good thing. I believe that the Living Spirit of God is everywhere present; that everything I see in the world of form is a creation of the Divine. Now I can say this with relative ease and for the most part I really do feel with all my heart that this is True and in my times of prayer and meditation I really KNOW that this is True and then I blow out the candles, roll up the meditation mat and go out into the world of effect and BAM! Before you know it I am bombarded with the world... Oh, crap...you mean I have to live this spirituality stuff out? All the sudden I am presented with the challenge/the opportunity to live out my ideals or give in to what is right in front of me. Do I judge righteously...in other words use my mind in the "right" way and see behind the appearances or do I allow myself to get sucked up in the world of effect. Bare in mind(and heart) that nothing upset God...Heaven is still very present within me but am I willing to rise up in consciousness or am I going to descend into the depths of hell? Hell is any situation where we feel separated from Spirit. Living out your Spiritual Truth is the name of the game. Books, tapes, lectures, classwork, that's all supplemental, but the test is everyday living. Like that old zen saying, "Before enlightenment chop wood, carry water. After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water." I'm not saying that I am completely enlightened by any stretch, but I am saying that now that I have been exposed to Spiritual Truths now I have the glorious opportunity to practice them. I can no longer stick my head in the sand and "pretend" that I don't know because now on a certain level of things, I do. This book will help you apply your Spirituality in wonderful and beautiful ways. My advice to you would be to take a particular essay and just work with that one essay for a few days or even a week. Underline things that you reasonate with, journal about those ideas, ask yourself how can you apply this in your every day life and then watch your world transform into something new and beautiful. Remember, the Light of God is always present but by purifying our minds, our hearts, and our souls we are coming into a deeper understanding that it is and it has always been and it will always be right where we are. I bless you on your journey and know that

LIFE CHANGING

LIVING THE SCIENCE OF MIND IS ABSOLUTELY PHENOMINAL. IT IS LIFE CHANGING. EVEN THOUGH IT WAS WRITTEN YEARS AGO, THE PRINCIPLES OF LIFE STILL APPLY, AND THE WAY IT IS WRITTEN IS LIKE MUSIC TO THE HEART. WE LOVE THIS BOOK, ARE READING IT OUTLOUD TO EACH OTHER, AND GAINING SO MUCH INNER PEACE AND UNDERSTANDING. WE HAVE SEVERAL OTHER BOOKS BY ERNEST HOLMES, AND THEY ARE ALL PHENOMINAL -- SIMILAR TO THE ABRAHAM-HICKS BOOKS. LIFE ENHANCING. DANA AND CRYSTLE SALISBURY FLORIDA

Practioner in training

This is an excellent book for anyone wanting to learn about Science of Mind. Dr. Holmes essays are a concise, easily read, coverage of Religious Science. The essays cover all aspects of Dr. Holmes philosophy, from what is Science of mind to the history and development of SOM. He explains clearly what he means by "change your mind, change your life" and how to accomplish this. He covers almost any question that might arise: Religion, Spirituality, New Thought, Religious Science p(28-106); God p(107-150); Man p(151-167); Law p(196-223); Your Word p(266-276); Happiness & Fulfillment p(393-434). This is a book that you can read in selected topics and discover who you are, how powerful you are, and can go back to reread time and again while getting new insights each time. The use of the Law to manifest your highest and best good is spelled out - and it works.
