Inspirational Quotes by Ernest Holmes (American New Thought Writer)

Ernest Shurtleff Holmes (1887–1960) was an American New Thought writer, teacher, and religious leader. Drawn to New Thought teachings and a belief in the power of the mind for healing and fulfillment of life, Holmes and his brother Fenwicke started the Religious Science spiritual movement.

Born in Lincoln, Maine, Ernest Holmes was influenced by the Christian Scientist movement. He was also a student of Emma Curtis Hopkins, the founder of New Thought.

Holmes’s first book, Creative Mind, appeared in 1919. His major work, The Science of Mind (1925,) is a summary of his thought and the textbook embodying his perspective on New Thought. In 1927, he founded the Institute of Religious Science and School of Philosophy in Los Angeles and began to train people in his methods.

Some of the Institute’s alumni established churches based on Holmes’s teachings, and, in 1949, he reluctantly agreed to the establishment of a Religious Science denomination. The church now has two branches: the United Church of Religious Science and the smaller Religious Science International.

The religious movement Holmes began flourished over the next decades. He repeatedly moved his Sunday lectures into larger facilities. In 1949, he began the This Thing Called Life radio show.

Holmes also authored many other metaphysical books and was the founder of Science of Mind magazine, which has been in continuous publication since 1927.
