Creative Mind and Success - Holmes, Ernest

. .

Résumé :
Creative Mind and Success is Ernest Holmes's early New Thought classic on thought, spiritual law, mental causation, prosperity, and the disciplined use of consciousness. Written before Holmes became widely known for The Science of Mind, the book presents the core ideas that would define his later work: that mind is creative, that thought participates in spiritual law, and that success begins with the individual's ability to direct belief, imagination, purpose, and inner conviction. First published in 1919, Creative Mind and Success belongs to the practical metaphysical tradition of New Thought, where spiritual principle is joined to self-mastery, prosperity, healing, and effective living. Holmes writes not merely about positive thinking, but about aligning thought with what he understood as universal creative intelligence. For readers of New Thought, Religious Science, metaphysical religion, prosperity teaching, affirmation, mind-power classics, and early twentieth-century spiritual self-help, Creative Mind and Success is a concise and important work by one of the movement's central teachers. Online Books at the University of Pennsylvania lists Creative Mind and Success by Ernest Holmes as a 1919 work, while later catalogues identify Holmes as the founder of the Religious Science movement....

Biographie:
Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) was an American New Thought writer, teacher, lecturer, and founder of the Religious Science movement, also known through the philosophy of Science of Mind. Drawing on New Thought, metaphysical religion, idealism, Christian spirituality, and comparative philosophy, Holmes developed a teaching centred on creative mind, spiritual law, affirmative prayer, mental causation, healing, prosperity, and the individual's conscious participation in divine intelligence. His work helped shape twentieth-century metaphysical spirituality and remains important for readers of New Thought, practical mysticism, spiritual self-help, and mind-power literature.Holmes's best-known work is The Science of Mind, first published in the 1920s and long associated with the Religious Science tradition, but Creative Mind and Success is one of his essential early books. In it, Holmes presents the practical side of his teaching: thought as creative power, belief as formative activity, imagination as a spiritual faculty, and success as the outward expression of inward alignment. His writing remains discoverable because it stands at the intersection of New Thought, prosperity consciousness, affirmative prayer, metaphysical healing, and the long American tradition of spiritual approaches to achievement and self-mastery....
