Creative Mind [Paperback]

Ernest Holmes (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: May 31, 2007

The Creative Mind by author Ernest Holmes, is an attempt to explain what each soul must discover for himself, that he stands in the midst of an eternal creative power which presses itself around his own thought, and casts back to him glorified all that he thinks. If it awakens within the consciousness of one single individual the realization that the mind of the Universe (which is the only mind that there is) is his own mind; that the creative power of this mind is his also; that the manifestation of this mind is his own individuality; that the love and power and peace of this mind is within himself, it will not be written in vain. May it then do much in simplifying and bringing to light some of the deeper mysteries and meanings of life. This is an excellent book for those who are fans of the writings of Ernest Holmes, and for those who are interested in learning about the creative process and the mind.

More About the Author

Ernest Shurtleff Holmes (1887-1960) was an avid student of the world's spiritual systems. He found in these a common denominator he called the Science Mind, a practical philosophy for abundant living. Beginning as self-educated lecturer, Holmes developed a large following of students and went on to formalize his work by founding Science of Mind magazine, an educational institute, and the United Church Religious Science. His writings have inspired the work of countless clergy, business leaders, physicians, and psychologists and have helped to shape the guiding principles of the modern human potential movement, both spiritual and secular. Born and raised in Maine, Holmes spent much of his adult life in California.

5.0 out of 5 stars The First Book, February 22, 2005

This review is from: Creative Mind (Paperback)

Creative Mind was the first book Ernest Holmes wrote. It was published in 1919. But by 1998 when I was Editor of Science of Mind magazine this wonderful little book was out of print and almost impossible to find. We reprinted it with a Forward by Catherine Ponder, an author of many inspiring books and a great fan of Ernest Holmes. Creative Mind is one of my favorite books because it gave me goosebumps when I first opened it and I knew it touched a deep truth within my soul. The first sentence of the introduction is the hook that draws you into your new and exciting possibilities: "The hand of eternal progress is brushing the cobwebs from the corridors of time and is again revealing to the human race the mysteries of being." I love secrets revealed...and this seemed to be the biggest, best secret of all. I do read Creative Mind again and again and I think you will too.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ernest Holmes At His Best in Simple Terminology Great for Beginners, May 29, 2009

This review is from: Creative Mind (Paperback)

Ernest Holmes was great a melding the worlds of science, philosophy, and religion. I love Science of Mind, but the text is very rich and written in early 20th Century language and can be hard to understand unless one is a dedicated student. Creative Mind is SOM with training wheels. It gets right down to business and explains God, the Universe and our relation and interconnectedness to ALL things. Great for those new to SOM and new thought. Less intimidating prior to SOM text book.

Creative Mind by Earnest Holmes is the best book I have ever read and will change the way you think about everything. It is a must read for everyone. At only 70 pages, with short chapters, it can easily be read all at once or you can skip around the table of contents and read what you want in no particular order. It is a book to be kept and reread over and over again when you need a reminder on how important your thoughts are to your reality.
