Creative Mind (Annotated)
Enriched Edition. Lessons and Speeches on Mental and Spiritual LawBy Ernest Holmes
Length3h 14m
About this audiobook
Creative Mind presents Ernest Holmes's foundational argument that thought is not merely private reflection but a formative spiritual power operating through universal law. Written in a clear, aphoristic, and exhortatory style, the book blends metaphysical Christianity, New Thought philosophy, and practical mental discipline. Its literary context is the early twentieth-century movement that sought to reconcile religion, psychology, and self-culture, offering readers a system in which imagination, conviction, and affirmative prayer become instruments of transformation. Holmes, later the founder of Religious Science and a major voice in the Science of Mind tradition, was shaped by wide reading in Emersonian transcendentalism, Christian mysticism, idealist philosophy, and the healing movements associated with Phineas Quimby and Mary Baker Eddy. His interest in the relation between consciousness and experience led him to articulate a spiritual psychology of causation, one that reflects both his pastoral concerns and his modern confidence in law, method, and disciplined practice. This book is recommended for readers interested in New Thought, American metaphysical religion, and the history of positive thinking. It rewards careful reading as both a devotional text and an intellectual document, illuminating a tradition that profoundly influenced modern spirituality.
