Image
Thoughts of lack manifest as limitation. Thoughts of abundance manifest as success and happiness. Failure and success are but two ends of the same stick.
Ernest Holmes
Image
We are chemists in the laboratory of the Infinite. What, then shall we create?
Ernest Holmes
Image
The intellect is a cold thing and a merely intellectual idea will never stimulate thought in the same manner that a spiritual idea does.
Ernest Holmes
Image
The road to freedom lies not through mysteries or occult performances, but through the intelligent use of natural forces and laws.
Ernest Holmes
Image
It is right that we should be successful, for otherwise Spirit is not expressed.
Ernest Holmes
Image
You are more than you appear to be - Life is greater than you have ever known it - The best is yet to come.
Ernest Holmes
Image
We are all immersed in the atmosphere of our own thinking, which is the direct result of all we have ever said, thought or done. This decides what is to take place in our lives.
Ernest Holmes
Image
Life is not just something to be endured. It is to be lived in joy, in a fullness without limit (p.82)
Ernest Holmes
Image

We are continuously living a new life, and when the old and the new do not fit nicely together, the old - no longer able to contain the new - should be discarded.
Ernest Holmes
Image
There is One Infinite Mind which of necessity includes all that is, whether it be the intelligence in man, the life in the animal, or the invisible Presence which is God.
Ernest Holmes
Image
The mind of man is continuously unfolding into a greater recognition of its real plan in the creative order of the Universe.
Ernest Holmes
Image
Love is the sole impulse for creation and the man who does not have it as the greatest incentive in his life has never developed the real creative instinct. No one can swing out into the Universal without love, for the whole universe is based upon it.
Ernest Holmes
Image
We are not depending on a reed shaken by the wind, but on the Priniciple of Life Itself, for all that we have or ever shall need. It is not some Power, or a great Power, it is all power.
Ernest Holmes
Image
The Power which creates and sustains everything is now creating everything necessary to my happiness.
Ernest Holmes
Image
We should daily feel a deeper union with Life, a greater sense of that Indwelling God - the God of the seen and of the unseen - within us.
Ernest Holmes
Image
Create or perish is the eternal mandate of nature. Be constructive or become frustrated is an equal demand. You cannot escape the conclusion that whatever this thing is which is seeking expression through everything, it can find satisfactory outlet only through constructive and life-giving creativeness.
Ernest Holmes
Image
The Science of Mind is intensely practical because it teaches us how to use the Mind Principle for definite purposes, such as helping those who are sick, impoverished, or unhappy.
Ernest Holmes
Image
Since each soul is some part of the Whole, it is impossible that any soul can be lost.
Ernest Holmes

Begin where you are. It would be unscientific to begin anywhere else.
