What We Believe

We believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty; one, indestructible, absolute, and self-existent Cause. This One manifests itself in and through all creation, but is not absorbed by its creation. The manifest universe is the body of God; it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.

We believe in the incarnation of the Spirit in all, and that we are all incarnations of the One Spirit.

We believe in the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the individual soul, forever and ever expanding.

We believe that the Kingdom of Heaven is within us and that we experience this Kingdom to the degree that we become conscious of it.

We believe the ultimate goal of life to be a complete emancipation from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.

We believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the innermost God is one God.

We believe that God is personal to all who feel this Indwelling Presence.

We believe in the direct revelation of Truth through our intuitive and spiritual nature, and that anyone may become a revealer of Truth who lives in close contact with the Indwelling God.

We believe that the Universal Spirit, which is God, operates through a Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that we are surrounded by this Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of our thought and acts upon it.

We believe in the healing of the sick through the power of this Mind.

We believe in the control of conditions through this power of the Mind.

We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness, and the eternal Livingness of Life to all.

We believe in our own soul, our own spirit, and our own destiny; for we understand that the life we live is God.

Honoring Life

“When Life created us It gave us two great endowments of God: love and creativity. Love, so that we may have confidence in life, a sense of security and peace and joy in living; creativity so that we can express ourselves individually.” - The Essential Ernest Holmes" pg. 44, Ernest Holmes

“What is God? The eternal One Life underneath all the forms of life. What is love? To feel the presence of that One Life deep within yourself and within all creatures. To be it. Therefore, all love is the love of God.” - Eckhart Tolle  "The Power of Now" pg. 129

“A mystic sees beyond the illusion of separateness into the intricate web of life in which all things are expressions of a single Whole. You can call this web "God, the Tao, the Great Spirit, the Infinite Mystery, Mother or Father" but it can be known only as love.” - Jean Borysenko

“My body is the temple of the living God. It is Spiritual Substance. Since God is my life and God is eternal, my life is eternal. I cannot be separated from God, from Good, from Perfection. The supreme Ruler, omnipresent, exists at the center of my thought, and has the power to make all things new.” - 365 Science of Mind" pg. 187, Ernest Holmes
