Dr. Ernest Holmes
The Founder of United Centers for Spiritual Living
January 21, 1887 - April 7, 1960
 Dr.
Ernest Holmes’s work in the Science of Mind is recognized today as one
of the leading viewpoints in modern metaphysics and New Thought.
Dr. Holmes developed a universal philosophy and
tools for spiritual living that profoundly resonate to this day. His
work provides us with a personal spiritual path, an understanding of our
relationship with the Universe, and a connected and joyful approach to
daily living.
Dr. Holmes wrote his seminal book The Science of
Mind in 1926 and revised the text in 1938 to create an edition that has
since been published in several languages. Dr. Holmes is also the
author of numerous other books on metaphysics and originated the
international Science of Mind magazine, which has been in continuous
publication since 1927.
Born in Maine, Holmes was largely self-taught,
seeking out the writings of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Christian D. Larson,
Thomas Troward and Phineas Quimby. Holmes moved to Southern California
in 1914. He founded the Institute of Religious Science, which became
United Church of Religious Science in 1953, and is now United Centers
for Spiritual Living. Holmes inspired the "positive thinking" of Norman
Vincent Peale, Peggy Lee, Cary Grant, Cecil B. DeMille and countless
others without ever intending to create a religion or a following of
masses of people.
Ernest Holmes made his transition to another reality in 1960.
