Ernest Holmes

"It's Up to You" by Ernest Holmes is a compelling exploration of the transformative power of personal thought and belief. Through this work, Holmes, the esteemed founder of the Religious Science movement, extends an invitation to listeners to seize control of their mental and spiritual faculties...

Open your spiritual eyes; listen with the inner ear; open your minds. What is it that we are to open our eyes, our ears and our minds to? What is it that we must see, hear, and understand? It is something Jesus learned through silent communion with life. The inward ear of Jesus was in tune with...

Every human being thrills at the thought of power. The thought means different things to different people. Power to you may mean mastery of your physical body, the ability to walk, run, play, to engage in ceaseless activity. To me, it may mean abundance, money, homes, cars - opulence. To another...

God is all there is. Life is all there is. Therefore, I am one with God in every person, every place, and every thing. Jesus said, “Lo, I am with you always.” I am, that Christ Presence within me, frees me from all negative belief; guides, directs, and supplies my every need. This...

The world is a thing of wonder and we should be filled with a greater sense of what is wonderful. But it so happens that in many respects we are still in a primitive stage of development, so that instead of a feeling of reverence and appreciation for the world about us, we inadequately interpret...

Religious science is something intelligent to think about and something satisfying to believe in, as well as being something practical to use. Regardless of race, religious affiliation, education, or social status, one may find in it the ways and means to a fuller, richer life...

From the depths of our hearts, we do thank God for all the good there is. We know and understand that gratitude opens the very windows of heaven! Thanksgiving opens every channel of life, health, happiness, and abundance. Every door opens to the grateful heart. Be grateful today! List all the...

Be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord Thy God is with thee withersoever thou goest.” (Joshua 1:9) I am not alone. Wherever I am, God is. Wherever I go, I go with God. Should traveling be in order, I have no fear, for his love goes before me and...

The Love and Joy of God Expresses Through Me “Thy loving kindness endureth forever.” (Psalm 138:8) I know that my oneness with God gives no recognition to anything unlike God. All that God is I am now consciously aware of being. The love, the beauty, the goodness, and the joy of God fill me...

We are always attracting the love of others, or their criticism. We are drawing assistance and cooperation into the orbit of our personal experience, or else we are creating frustrations and disappointments. This is because we are always thinking. Mind is the most active thing in the universe...

Unto you is given the power to create and accomplish in life the deep desires of your heart. The incarnation of God in man, as man, is this power. Freely it is given to all alike. Some intuitively realize this and bring forth great works. Others are lulled by their material acceptances from...

Everyone loves a lover. No matter what our faults may be, if we have a deep affection for others, people will excuse our shortcomings. Those who have had the greatest love for humanity are the ones we admire most. Love is the greatest thing in life and without it, we are lost. Those who refuse...

Friends, the next voice you hear might be God's! Wouldn't it be wonderful if this were true? Wouldn't it be wonderful if we could hear the Voice of God? And perhaps we can. Perhaps we all have heard the Voice of God but haven't recognized it...

Today, I am going to talk about enthusiasm and how it makes all of life a joyous experience. Every normal person wishes to be well, happy and successful and there is nothing wrong with this. Sometimes we think that perhaps life withholds these good things from us, as though it didn't wish us to...

Success Is self-ordained. No one in this world can make you a success but you. You and you alone control, through the constant and positive action of your mind, the extent and degree of your success. Equally true, no one can hinder you, restrain you, or deprive you of your desired success but...

Man's three greatest needs are: to feel that he is needed, wanted and loved; to feel that he belongs to the universe in which he lives, and to have an object or objects upon which to lavish his affection. It is now known that most unhappiness comes from a sense of being rejected; of not being...

The unhappy man wants to be happy, the impoverished person wishes to become enriched, the sick man wants to be healed, and the lonely person wants love and friendship. These are fundamental needs of the human being and back of them is the need we all have to feel safe and secure in this world...

Through the whole life and teaching of Jesus we find this gentle approach. And yet he was always just, as well as kind. He didn't say that we could be saved in our mistakes, but that we must be saved from them. He knew that to err is human, to forgive is divine...

Shakespeare said, "There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so." Whether or not this immortal bard was 100 percent right in this, one thing is certain: the mind does play some very weird tricks on us, some of them so startling as almost to convince us that we are actually obsessed...
