I already wrote a more extensive review about the "Definitive Edition" Science of Mind (the 1938 version), but I just wanted to say that it's nice to see, with the "Complete Edition", the original 1926 text finally getting a proper re-printing. Although I'm preferable to the 1938 version (I find the ideas more organized), the 1926 version is also an enlightening read, and there were a couple sections (notably the sections on psychic phenomena and the spirit of sex) which were omitted from the 1938 version (according to the biography, "The Was Ernest" by Reginald Armor, Ernest Holmes elected to take the section on psychic phenomena out of the 1938 version because so much of it just couldn't be proven). This version is nice because it has the complete 1926 text in the first section, then the complete 1938 text in the second section.

However, it should be noted that this is really more of a "reader's version". The "Definitive Edition" is a page-for-page correspondence to the 1938 textbook, which is the version most commonly used for SOM courses. I was hoping when this was released that they would keep the page-for-page correspondence for the 1938 section, but it's understandable why they didn't (to conserve space). However, this makes it difficult to use the "Complete Edition" for study courses (i.e. I'm doing the home study course "Change Your Thinking, Change Your Life", and all the textbook page references correspond to the 1938 "Definitive Edition" version). Additionally, the "Concordance to the Science of Mind" by Dr. Al Lowe & Rev. Martha Ann Stewart is the concordance to the 1938 version, again by page number, so that might also create some confusion. This is my only gripe with this printing. Otherwise, I think they did an outstanding job with it.

So if you're just getting this just to read, then I highly recommend it. But if you're getting a copy for SOM study courses, you'll also need a copy of the "Definitive Edition".

I have been reading the book a lot latley it is resonating so deep. It allows me to regain my lost power. I am finding my inner voice and I have realized it has been there all along. Right now I have an inner calm filled with happiness straight from the source. Thank you

An excellent book to sort through your life challenges and discover that love and forgiveness will connect you with the God within and set you free!

This includes both complete editions of Holme's tome, The Science of Mind, first published in 1926 then revised and published again in 1938. Both are worth reading as they approach the material from different angles.

I received this book very quickly! Very reasonable price as well. If you want to understand more about your mind then this is the book for you!

Science of Mind (complete edition) is an excellent way to view our spiritual journey. I think Ernest Holmes channeled his work from God. For those raised on the Bible, he makes references to it and to Jesus quite often. The complete collection is the way to go. It is a thick book, but amazingly lightweight.

I am a student studying The Science of the Mind. So this book and it's companion note book are very important to me. I am sorry that this is not a review of the book. It is a review of the condition of how it was sent to me. It was ripped and I paid full price for it. I contacted Amazon with not so much of a response back. I need the book to begin my class and it arrived the day before. So, I couldn't send it back.

I have found the book to be informative, well written and easy to understand. Yet, Amazon.com put a damper on a situation that should've been enjoyable.

This is a specific kind of book for Science of Mind Practioners, but is a great book for anyone wanting to learn more about Science of Mind (Religious Science).
It is equally divided between theory and practice.
