Creative Mind

Ernest S. Holmes’s work outlines the principles of mind-centered spirituality that later became central to Religious Science. Historically important as an early statement of New Thought metaphysics, it explains the creative power of thought, the nature of consciousness, and methods of mental prayer and affirmation.

Ernest Shurtleff Holmes (1887–1960) was an American New Thought teacher and author best known for founding the Religious Science movement. His writings, especially those associated with *The Science of Mind*, helped systematize metaphysical and spiritual ideas into a practical philosophy of affirmative prayer and mental healing.
