Welcome to The Essential Ernest Holmes, an exploration of the evolution of the thought
of Ernest Holmes
.
Ernest Holmes (1887-1960) was an internationally renowned teacher of religious
psychology, a beloved scholar, mystic, and prolific author. He believed in a religion that
was hopeful, practical, democratic, and all-encompassing, and built a practice of prayer
in which one prays the answer instead of the problem.

If you have compared Ernest's words with those of some sources of his inspiration
Ralph Waldo Emerson, Emma Curtis Hopkins and Thomas Troward you'll pretty much
be comparing Ernest to himself. If you had one single career spanning nearly fifty years,
your approach to what you do would, of course, change as you refined your
understanding of your work and, especially, of yourself. In one respect, Ernest Holmes
spent his entire adult life doing the same work a man on a mission teaching and
exemplifying the spiritual system he called the Science of Mind. In another respect, he
spent that whole time developing this system, because it has never been stagnant, just
as there was never a time when Ernest was not curious or one when he was dogmatic.

The Essential Ernest Holmes is the first course to delve into Ernest’s writings, feasting
on his quiet, devotional writings as well as his impassioned, chalk-in hand teachings to
future leaders. Ideal for everyone, from the future Practitioner to the inquisitive
newcomer, The Essential Ernest Holmes is a joyous experience in personal unfoldment.
