Creative Mind - Holmes, Ernest

. .

Résumé :
Ernest Holmes teaches that thought is not merely private reflection but a living creative force working through spiritual law. In Creative Mind, he presents one of the early foundations of what would become the Science of Mind tradition: the belief that consciousness, rightly understood and deliberately directed, can transform experience. Holmes argues that fear, limitation, and confusion are not final conditions, but states of mind that can be changed through deeper spiritual understanding and disciplined inner practice. This is a compact and direct New Thought work, rooted in the idea that the individual mind is connected with a universal creative intelligence. Holmes writes about belief, prayer, affirmation, spiritual realization, healing, prosperity, and the power of thought to shape the conditions of life. His approach is practical as well as metaphysical: the reader is encouraged to think from a higher sense of self, accept spiritual abundance, and live as though divine creative power is already present and active. For readers interested in New Thought, Science of Mind, manifestation, affirmative prayer, metaphysical religion, and classic self-help, Creative Mind offers Ernest Holmes in an early and concentrated form. It is especially valuable for those who want to understand the roots of modern mind-power teaching and the spiritual philosophy behind conscious creation, inner authority, and personal transformation....

Sommaire:
Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) was an American writer, lecturer, spiritual teacher, and founder of the Religious Science movement, later widely associated with the Science of Mind tradition. Born in Lincoln, Maine, Holmes grew up with limited formal education but developed a wide-ranging intellectual and spiritual curiosity. He read deeply in philosophy, psychology, religion, metaphysics, mental healing, New Thought, Transcendentalism, and comparative spiritual traditions, eventually shaping these influences into a practical philosophy of spiritual law and conscious creation.Holmes taught that the universe is governed by an intelligent creative principle and that human thought participates in that principle. His central message was that people could change their experience by changing consciousness, not through wishful thinking alone, but through disciplined belief, affirmative prayer, spiritual understanding, and alignment with what he saw as universal law. His work appealed to readers looking for a religion of practical results, inner growth, healing, prosperity, confidence, and a direct relationship with divine creative power.His major books include Creative Mind, Creative Mind and Success, The Science of Mind, This Thing Called You, The Art of Life, and many lectures, essays, and lessons that helped define twentieth-century metaphysical religion. Holmes's influence continues through Centers for Spiritual Living and through the broader world of New Thought, manifestation teaching, affirmative prayer, and spiritual self-development. His writings remain important for readers who want a classic source for the belief that consciousness, faith, and imagination are active forces in shaping life....
