On consecutive Wednesday evenings in January and February 1952, Religious Science founder Ernest Holmes met with his Beverly Hills friends to talk on six topics as the spirit moved him. It is in his extemporaneous talks that we get to know this great spiritual philosopher intimately - and nowhere else more so then here, in “closed-circuit” metaphysical plain-talk as he tells us his own psychic experiences, including his vision of the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima - years before it happened. And this is just one of many insightful, almost startling disclosures that Holmes drops casually on these beguiling evenings in Beverly Hills.
Ernest Shurtleff Holmes was an American New Thought writer, teacher, and leader. He was the founder of a Spiritual movement known as Religious Science, part of the greater New Thought movement, whose spiritual philosophy is known as "The Science of Mind." He was the author of The Science of Mind and numerous other metaphysical books, and the founder of Science of Mind magazine, in continuous publication since 1927. His books remain in print, and the principles he taught as "Science of Mind" have inspired and influenced many generations of metaphysical students and teachers. Holmes had previously studied another New Thought teaching, Divine Science, and was an ordained Divine Science Minister. His influence beyond New Thought can be seen in the self-help movement.
I read this book after reading Emma Curtis Hopkins "Scientific Mental Practice" and I appreciated them both. This book is easier to read due to it coming from lectures within the last hundred years. It is a very interesting bunch of thoughts related to very many studies and realizations through time. Again I'm sure I'll read it at least a few more times...I kind of rushed through it as I'm reading it for a class.
