The Art of Collage as a Spiritual Practice
—Katy Taylor

Collage is a way that I connect with a deeper part of myself and gain some clarity about my inner life. In my outer life for too long I have placed too much value in the intellectual realm; on the importance of amassing knowledge, figuring things out, knowing what to do.

It has been a challenge for me to allow other kinds of knowing to arise and inform me. Collage allows me to access a deeper knowing that includes my heart and body. READ MORE

A Conversation with Ernest

Wouldn’t you have loved to listen in on the conversations between Dr. Ernest Holmes, founder of Religious Science, and Yogananda? Or between Holmes and Edgar Cayce? Our new column, “A Conversation with Ernest” invites our readers to write a brief essay about what a conversation with Ernest Holmes and any other being – whether past, present or future, would look and sound like.

In addition to conversations between Holmes and Yogananda and Cayce, we’ve enjoyed what talks might have been like between our founder and integral theorist Ken Wilber, as well as Bella, a dog with a lot of heart and wisdom. We welcome your essays (no more than 500 words) at edit@ScienceOfMind.com and write “Conversations” in the subject line. It’s our way of engaging you with Holmes and sharing your voice.

The Power of Faith
—Ernest Holmes

I have a deep and abiding conviction that there is one divine and perfect presence in the universe; that the spirit of Truth is everywhere; that God is right where I am. There is neither doubt, confusion, nor fear, for I know I am rooted in the one and only perfect and divine presence.

I also realize that the divine Law of Life operates upon my word to bring about definite results in my affairs and the affairs of those for whom I am thinking. I have a complete confidence in this Law of Good, an unshakable trust in it, and complete reliance upon it. I know, as Jesus said, that ‘all things are possible to God;” that there is no limitation to the Law of Good. Therefore, in quiet confidence, in calmness and peace and in perfect trust, I speak my word.

I am conscious that I am surrounded by Divine Love and Infinite Wisdom and that the life of God is my life now. I know that there is nothing in me which can hinder Divine Intelligence from governing my affairs, from daily guiding me into right action, therefore I affirm that at all times I know what to do and am impelled intelligently to act on every right impression that comes to me.
