Science of Mind
Science of Mind (or Religious Science) is a positive, powerful
way of looking at the world and at your life that allows you to
move forward from a consciousness of love, wholeness, harmony,
and prosperity.
Science of Mind is the summation of the work of Ernest Holmes,
founder of Religious Science. Holmes was convinced that Science
and the Religions were all trying to get at the same basic truths
of the Universe, and that the key to these lay in the Bible and
other wisdom teachings of the world.
Holmes' lectures attracted a large following, which grew into
the Church of Religious Science, later diverging into Religious
Science International and the United Church of Religious Science.
The Textbook, Science of Mind, was prepared to support classes
and provide a reference work to students. This text has been in
use, in one form or another, for over fifty years.
The Science of Mind deals with the Relationship of Mind to Matter,
of Thought to Experience. It sets out some descriptive definitions
as to the nature of God, First Cause. It also sets out Laws of
Mind which parallel those in the physical realm, but which lie
in the realm of psychology and metaphysics. Finally, it sets out
a mechanism for affirmative prayer, called Spiritual Mind Treatment,
which links the conscious and unconscious minds in such a way
as to bring about change of innermost thought. This has the effect
of changing our perception of outward events; in effect, a changed
experience. It also has the capability to affect the outward events
themselves for the better. In this way, Healing may be accomplished.
The teachings of Jesus fully reflected these laws, without explaining
their operation
The principal belief of the Science of Mind can be summed up in
the teaching of Jesus, "Go thy way; and as thou hast believed,
so be it done unto thee." Matt 8:13 KJV (or, as the New Revised
Standard Version translates, "Go; let it be done for you
according to your faith."). Science of Mind believes that
if you expect to find joy, peace, love, and abundance in your
life that is what you will experience. If you turn away from fear,
doubt, and negativity, and look for the good in every situation,
even those more difficult experiences in life can be handled more
easily; or can be treated as an opportunity for growth, and will
be a stepping-stone to a more wonderful and fulfilling experience.
Ernest Holmes, the founder of the Science of Mind, said "...it
must be remembered that we are dealing with a power that is like
the soil of the ground, which will produce the plant when we plant
seed. It does not matter if we have never before seen a plant
like the one that is to be made for us. Our thought is the seed
and mind is the soil. We are always planting and harvesting. All
that we need to do is to plant only that which we want to harvest."

HLC'S INTENDS TO JOINT VENTURE WITH OTHER
"SPIRIT FIRST!" ORGANIZATIONS
LIKE SCIENCE OF MIND TO BUILD.
SELF-MASTERY K-12 NON-PROFIT ACADEMY'S: By 2014, HLC intends
to create K-12 Self-mastery Academies as a joint venture project
with other "Spirit First!" organizations like Science of Mind
Churches. This has been our founders Hu Dalconzo's dream ever
since he was an inner city schoolteacher almost 30-years ago.
Just imagine a network of K-12 schools where besides reading,
writing and arithmetic, our curriculum will integrate Self-mastery
skills such as Self-parenting so that our students can learn how
to get their Emotional Dependency Needs met. Emotional dependency
needs are the intimacy, nurturing, and unconditional love that
a child "needs" in order to feel safe, sane, and secure so that
he/she can grow up to be an emotionally mature, highly functional
adult. Our Self-mastery schools will use HLC's clinically proven
teaching methods, which takes complex self-help subjects such
as Self-parenting from an abstract, hard to understand theoretical
concept and breaks it down piece by piece into a step by step,
easy to understand, specific set of emotionally Self-nurturing
exercises to make it easy for our K-12 teachers to instruct. Our
K-12 teachers will instruct our joint venture students on how
to master the pieces of Self-mastery, one at a time, until they
have fulfilled all of their emotional dependency needs, while
they are receiving a standardized K-12 education.
