click to read about other authors 

Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) was the founder of a movement known as Religious Science, also known as "Science of Mind," a part of the New Thought Movement. Ernest Holmes was the founder of Science of Mind magazine which has been in continuous publication since 1927. Ernest Holmes books, radio broadcasts and recordings continue to reach an audience of thousands of people world-wide, and the principles Ernest Holmes taught as his Science of Mind have inspired and influenced many generations of metaphysical students and teachers.

Ernest Holmes' approach tended to focus less on defining a cosmology than other New Thought movements such as the Unity School of Christianity.

Ernest Holmes denied any "special revelation", contending that Religious Science was not the "only way", but instead a "good way". Ernest Holmes published numerous books, and Ernest Holmes books include "The Science of Mind", "The Art of Life", and numerous other metaphysical books. Ernest Holmes taught that religion is "open at the top," viewing it as an evolving work in progress. In a biography written after his death, his brother Fenwicke cited Ernest Holmes' expressed opinion that all beliefs are valid to those who hold them.

Ernest Holmes has been grouped by critics among the practitioners of the many "mind cure" movements. Others have argued that New Thought ideas have been melded into the popular culture. The influence of New Thought authors, including Holmes' work, upon the subsequent New Age and human dynamics movements has also been noted. Holmes did not believe in reincarnation or magic, but taught spiritual mind treatment, a type of scientific prayer. Ernest Holmes taught that there is a natural law, and we can use it; and that we create our experience of reality with our thinking.
