Living the Science of Mind
This Book's Focus
Living the Science of Mind brings Ernest Holmes’s spiritual philosophy into everyday life. Written in a more conversational style than his foundational textbook, The Science of Mind, it explores how we can understand and apply New Thought principles to our daily experiences.
Through short discussions on spirituality, healing, fear, faith, prosperity, and personal growth, Holmes encourages us to recognize our connection to Universal Mind and consciously use that understanding in our lives.
This book is a companion to The Science of Mind, offering guidance on living the principles rather than simply understanding them.

The Blended Path

Holmes encourages us to recognize the creative power of Universal Mind while consciously choosing how we think, respond, and live. His teachings connect metaphysical beliefs with practical ways to experience them.
Why I Value This Book
I originally chose Living the Science of Mind because I thought it might give me everything I needed to understand Holmes’s philosophy without reading the original textbook.
As I began reading, I realized that the two books serve different purposes, and that the foundation offered in The Science of Mind deserves its own exploration.
What attracted me most was the possibility of finding a structured approach to living a spiritual life rooted in New Thought.
I appreciate that Holmes’s philosophy extends beyond books into spiritual centers and communities that offer learning, fellowship, and acceptance.
For me, Living the Science of Mind offers an inviting way to explore how spiritual beliefs can become more than ideas we agree with. They can become principles we consciously live by.
