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 theology and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God…

We believe in the incarnation of the Spirit in everyone and that all people are incarnations of the One Spirit…

We believe in the eternity, 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 that the ultimate goal is 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 the intuitive and spiritual nature of the individual, and that any person may become a revealer of the 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 thoughts 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 the power of this Mind…

We believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness, and the eternal Givingness of Life to all…

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

In its practice and teaching, Science of Mind endeavors to include the whole life. It is not a dreamy, mystical cult, but the exponent of a vigorous message, applicable to the everyday needs of Creative Life. Indeed, this is the one distinctive tenet of the many teachings of Science of Mind that accounts for its rapid growth. Men and women find in it the message that fits in with their personal needs and desires.

The conventional idea of future life, with its teachings of rewards and punishments, is not stressed; the message is good news for the here and now. Science of Mind says that religion, if it means anything, means right living, and right living and right thinking wait upon no future, but bestow their rewards in this world — in better health, happier homes, and all that makes for a well-balanced, normal life.

Discover how you can make the most of your potential. Learn to use your innate, creative ability to realize all of your goals. Make your life an exciting adventure.

It is our belief that the teaching of Jesus, as applied through the principles of the Science of Mind, will bring health, happiness and success into your daily living.
