OUR TRUTH
What We Believe
-
We believe in God, the living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause. This One manifests Itself in and through all creation, but is not absorbed by Its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.
-
We believe in the individualization of the Spirit in Us, and that all people are individualizations of the One Spirit.
-
We believe in the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding.
-
We believe that heaven is within us, and that we experience it to the degree that we become conscious of it.
-
We believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete freedom from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.
-
We believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God. We believe that God is personal to all who feel this indwelling presence.
-
We believe in the direct revelation of truth through our intuitive and spiritual nature, and that anyone may become a revealer of truth who lives in close contact with the indwelling God.
-
We believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that we are surrounded by this Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it.
-
We believe in the healing of the sick through the power of this Mind.
-
We believe in the control of conditions through the power of this Mind.
-
We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness, and the eternal Givingness of Life to all.
-
We believe in our own soul, our own spirit, and our own destiny; for we understand that the life of all is God.
DR. ERNEST HOLMES
The Science of Mind
Our founder, Dr. Ernest Holmes’s work in the Science of Mind and Spirit is recognized today as one of the leading viewpoints in modern metaphysics and New Thought. This universal philosophy provides us with a personal spiritual path, an understanding of our relationship with the Universe, and a connected and joyful approach to daily living.
Once called the “religion of healthy-mindedness” by philosopher William James, the New Thought movement was born almost 150 years ago. The early New Thought movement was driven by the discovery that physical healing was possible through the power of mind and spiritual awareness.
As that initial idea unfolded into successful application, practitioners of New Thought began to see that the power of an uplifted consciousness could also bring healing to negative circumstances and conditions in one’s personal life.
As it evolves today, twenty-first century New Thought is driven by a far broader intention. Planetary healing through self-realization is emerging as the new promise of these teachings.
OUR MISSION
Why We're Here
As a spiritual community, we are dedicated to creating an environment where we recognize, honor and celebrate God, the Love intelligence within all life. We awaken through prayer, meditation, study and revelation to our spiritual Truth; that we are one with God. We embody this not only as a theory, but as a way of being in our everyday lives. Through New Thought/Ancient Wisdom teachings, and a complete dependence on unconditional Love as a guiding power, our aim is nothing short of the total acceptance of the joy, abundance and freedom that is the Truth of our very being.
