Our Founder

Major Influences in Science of Mind
The founder of our teaching, Ernest Holmes (1887-1960), was most heavily influenced by four New Thought contributors as he moved along his spiritual path and developed Science of Mind. Those teachers were:
· Ralph Waldo Emerson, the distinguished New England philosopher and essayist (1803-1852)
· Thomas Troward, an eminent British jurist and metaphysician (1847-1916)
· Phineas Parkhurst Quimby, a mental healer (1802-1866)
· Emma Curtis Hopkins, a greatly respected American teacher and mystic, often called the “teacher of teachers” (1853-1925)
