What is The Science of Mind?

What Science of Mind can do for you.

Science of Mind is really the Science of Consciousness. It is about becoming aware of how our consciousness, expressed through our thoughts, images and feelings which comprise our attitude towards life, affects what happens to us. In other words, it is about how your thoughts, images, feelings and words manifest, either consciously or unconsciously, to affect your experience, your reality. Have you ever asked your self the question why one man is  wealthy while another man is  poor? Or why one woman is always healthy,  while another woman is continually ill? Is it the case that God chooses to bless one over the other?  Or is it because God chooses to punish one and favor the other for some unknown reason known only to Himself. The answer is neither. The Good News is that God holds nothing against any one of us. St. Paul tell us in Acts 10:34, God has no favorites. We all stand equal in His eyes.

So the question is, if God has no favorites then why do people suffer? Why do bad things happen to good people? More specifically, why do bad things happen to you? Chances are, if you were to engage the types of people mentioned above in a conversation; and listen carefully to what they were saying about themselves, about how they viewed their lives, it would be pretty clear where the focus of their thinking is. In other words,  what people say often tells you how they think, imagine and feel about themselves;  how they think, imagine and feel about their lives; and how they see the world. It tells you as well the kinds of thoughts and ideas they are continually feeding back into their own minds about who and what they are, what the world is, and their place in it. The great secret of life is that what you think is what you get. All of this reflects back to you. This is the Law of Reflection, a variation of the Law of Cause and Effect. Thoughts, as well as the images and feelings they produce, out-picture into our lives as conditions, situations, and experiences. They mirror our thinking, our consciousness, our attitudes. When our thoughts are good, we experience good. When our thoughts are negative, we experience the negative.  In short, what we think is what we get. So in order to change what we are getting, all that is necessary is to change is what we are thinking. Yes, it really is that simple. Changing our conditioned thinking is the hard part. But it can be done and simply so once you know how to do it.

The Science of Mind is about learning how to consciously use those Spiritual Laws that govern and affect our existence for the good of ourselves and others. Like any good science, it is demonstrable on a consistent basis. Anyone can do it (even you!), and you can joyfully prove the truth of it to yourself time and time again by bringing blessings into your life instead of curses. 

It can liberate you. It can open you to a new, deeper and more loving relationship with God and all of creation. You will learn that God does not hate you, judge you, condemn or reject you for any reason. Nor does He want you to suffer. Nor does He make you suffer. God truly loves you, and wishes for you every good. He forgives you at every moment you inwardly turn to Him. Indeed, you will come to realize that there is no creature so vile that it is not loved, and no sin so great that it is not forgiven. You will not only discover this for yourself, but actually feel the Truth of it.  Moreover, you will find that through the proper use of the Principles of Science of Mind, such as learning how to consciously use the Law of Cause and Effect, you can free yourself from the everyday doubts, fears, anxieties, angers, and resentments that plague most people; and find a happier life filled with the goodness, abundance, healing and fulfillment you might have never thought possible for yourself.

Dr. Joseph Murphy said this about the study of the Science of Mind.

"...you will lay hold of a miracle-working power that will lift you up from confusion, misery, melancholy, and failure, and guide you to your true place, solve your difficulties, sever you from emotional and physical bondage, and place you on the royal road to freedom, happiness, and peace of mind. This miracle-working power of your subconscious mind can heal you of your sickness; make you vital and strong again. In learning how to use your inner powers, you will open the prison door of fear and enter into a life described by Paul as the glorious liberty of the sons of God."

Ralph Waldo Emerson said about this Science; that once you understand it, you are no longer the victim of the wheel of fortune, karma or fate; subject to their seemingly arbitrary whims. Rather, you learn to take control and command it.

"So use all that is called Fortune. Most men gamble with her, and gain all, and lose all, as her wheel rolls. But do thou leave as unlawful these winnings, and deal with Cause and Effect, the chancellors of God. In the Will (Mind) work and acquire, and thou hast chained the wheel of Chance, and shalt always drag her after thee."   - From Emerson's Essay on Self Reliance.

Dr. Holmes founded the Institute of Religious Science in Los Angeles, CA in 1927. This later became the Church of Religious Science in 1954. In 2005, because many people began to confuse the name Religious Science with Scientology, the name was changed to The United Centers for Spiritual Living. Religious Science is not connected with, nor is it in anyway related to, Scientology, its teachings or founder. They are two separate and distinct organizations with very different philosophies. 

This teaching is based upon the textbook, The Science of Mind, written by Dr. Ernest Holmes (pictured above). For a more in depth version of what is the Science of Mind is about, you may click here.
