Jan. 3, 2023: From the Pen of Dr. Maxine

The study of the Science of Mind is a study of First Cause, Spirit, Mind, or that invisible Essence, that ultimate Stuff and Intelligence from which everything comes, the Power back of creation — the Thing Itself.  ~ Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, p. 26

Happy, Healthy, Loving, Abundant New Year to our Beloved Community!  As this is the first of the year, we will be focusing on the first four introductory chapters of Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind, pages 25 through 60.  Our theme for the year is, “Building a New Consciousness,” and we are focusing this month on, “The Foundation,” which is why we love reviewing the basics of Religious Science at this time.  You may wish to read through the first chapter, “The Thing Itself,” up to page 34 in preparation for Sunday’s talk, “The Basic Material.”

Of course, before anything substantial can be created, the best materials must be used, and the foundation firmly established.  Since we remember that, “There is One Life; that Life is God’s Life; that Life is Perfect, and that Life is my Life now,” we begin everything in a consciousness of Unity.  Each of us, as an individualized manifestation of the Divine, created of the One Life, has access to the Power of Good that indwells us all. Beginning at the beginning, we understand that everything starts from within the Heart and Mind of God and expresses in form.  It all starts with the Sacred Presence, which shows Itself in our lives and into all creation.
