Religious Science
Science of Mind was established in 1927 by Ernest Holmes (1887–1960) and is a spiritual, philosophical and metaphysical religious movement within the New Thought movement. In general, the term "Science of Mind" applies to the teachings, while the term "Religious Science" applies to the organizations. However, adherents often use the terms interchangeably.
In his book, ''The Science of Mind'', Ernest Holmes stated "Religious Science is a correlation of laws of science, opinions of philosophy, and revelations of religion applied to human needs and the aspirations of man." He also stated that Religious Science/Science of Mind (RS/SOM) is not based on any "authority" of established beliefs, but rather on "what it can accomplish" for the people who practice it.〔Vahle(1993) p7〕 Today the International Centers for Spiritual Living, the United Centers for Spiritual Living (which combined into the Centers for Spiritual Living in 2011) and Global Religious Science Ministries are the main denominations promoting Religious Science.
==History==
Ernest Holmes did not originally intend for RS/SOM to be a "church", but rather a teaching institution. In that spirit, many member "churches" have traditionally referred to themselves as "centers." The mental healing work of Phineas Quimby was a source of inspiration to much of the New Thought movement, including RS/SOM. Ernest Holmes was especially strongly influenced by Emma Curtis Hopkins, especially her "Scientific Christian Mental Practice", a direct precursor to Holmes' "Spiritual Mind Treatment", and by the writings of Judge Thomas Troward and Ralph Waldo Emerson, as he developed his own synthesis, which became known as Religious Science or Science of Mind.〔Braden p.295, 289–291〕〔Anderson (2003) pp. 26–28〕
In 1926 Holmes published ''The Science of Mind'',〔Holmes. Ernest (1926). The Science of Mind. ISBN 0-87477-865-4〕 which references the teachings of Jesus Christ 〔Holmes, Ernest (1926) SOM Publishing, Science of Mind pages 87, 98 ... etc ... 496.〕 the Bible 〔Holmes, Ernest (1936) SOM Publishing, Science on Mind p.483-504〕 and Buddha.〔Holmes, Ernest (1926) SOM Publishing, Science of Mind pgs. 76, 78, 329, 342, 344, 428〕 Holmes established the Institute for Religious Science and School of Philosophy in Los Angeles. This organization would later become the Church of Religious Science. Holmes had previously studied another New Thought teaching, Divine Science, and he was an ordained Divine Science Minister.〔Glenn R. Mosley (2006) Templeton Foundation Press, New Thought, Ancient Wisdom p.47〕 He saw humans as being "open at the top"—that is, open to evolutionary improvement of consciousness in all areas of life.〔Vahle (1993) p. 146〕 The concepts of "Open at the Top" and "New Thought" have inspired RS/SOM organizations and their teachings to evolve over the years. As stated in the book ''New Thought: A Practical American Spirituality'', "New Thought still is evolving; it may yet be the point at which religion, philosophy, and science come together as the most effective combination to move the world to greater peace, plenty, health, and harmony. Many believe it might be the quintessential spirituality for the next millennium." 〔Anderson (2003), Introduction.〕 His teachings attracted famous celebrities of his time including Cecil B. DeMille, Peggy Lee, and Cary Grant.〔Vahle (1993) pp. 2–3〕
