This book is the “Bible” of the “Centers for Spiritual Living,” (CSL) spiritual movement, also referred to as “Science of Mind” founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes (1887-1960). It contains the core teaching of CSL. CSL is an offshoot of the New Thought movement of the mid- 1800’s, which included Emerson, Thoreau, and others. Unity is another spiritual movement that came from the same roots, and is very similar to Science of Mind.
I read this book, along with Holmes’ “Love and Law” in the early 2000’s, long before I had discovered Unity or CSL. I only recently discovered CSL through a study group that formed recently in Charlottesville.
This book is pure spirituality – connecting with your spiritual self, with your spiritual reality and the power that comes with that realization. This book teaches you how to create your reality – your health, your happiness, your prosperity. It’s all in your mind.
The “Science” of Science of Mind, is the certain and specific method.
