About Us
The Center for Spiritual
Living community is dedicated to learning and teaching
universal spiritual principles for the empowerment of
ourselves and our world. Our purpose is to provide an
opportunity for people to gather together for support and
recognition of our elemental spirituality. (See the
statement above regarding what our community is committed to
providing.)
We study and discuss the
new thought of spiritual teachers such as Emerson, Holmes,
Goldsmith, Chopra, Wayne Dyer and Michael Beckwith. New
Thought is a positive, practical spiritual philosophy for
living fully that is based on truths found in all major
faiths and spiritual traditions.
An invitation
message from Dr. Ernest Holmes, founder of Science of Mind:
You are about to start on
the most interesting quest the human mind has ever made, the
discovery of the Life Principle, the way It works, and your
relationship to It. You are about to make the greatest
discovery of your life, which is how to use the Creative
Power of your thought for definite purposes; purposes which
will benefit you, your family, and your friends.
The lessons which follow
are not a revelation to some particular individual nor to
any one group of persons. Rather they are an outcome or a
putting together of the best that the ages have discovered.
We all believe that there is a Power greater than we are. We
all hope that we may be able to use this Power.
Throughout the ages
certain individuals have discovered some secret relationship
between themselves and the Universe which other people have
not known about, and because of this they have either
consciously or unconsciously used a power that to the
ordinary individual seems miraculous because of its effects.
Others have stood in awe before them, feeling that God has
delivered some message to them which is withheld from
others.
This age of superstition,
of fear and ignorance is passing out of existence, and
intelligent people are beginning to say, “My relationship to
God, to the Universe, and to the Power which is greater than
I am must be as immediate to me as to any other person who
ever lived. There is a secret, the great secret of Life
Itself, and I expect to discover it. And when I do I know
that it will be immediate and personal to me; something that
I can live by and use; something that I can benefit by and
demonstrate; something that will take the uncertainties out
of life.”
You are about to engage
in a study of the Science of Mind, which deals with a
Principle and a Power in the Universe as immediate as your
own breath. Of necessity such a study is something to which
you must give your complete attention, something that you
must enthusiastically enter into. All the while it will be
something that brings a daily satisfaction, a sense of
well-being, and the gratification of knowing that you are in
league with the Power that creates and sustains everything.
