Our Declaration of Principles (as written by our founder, Dr. Ernest Holmes in 1926)

  • We believe in God, the Living Spirit Almighty, One indestructible, Absolute, and Self-Existent Cause.

  • We believe this One manifests Itself in and through all creation, but is not absorbed by Its creation.

  • We believe that the manifest universe is the body of God, it is the logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God.

  • We believe in the incarnation of this Spirit in all people and that we are all incarnations of the One Spirit.

  • We believe in the eternality, 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 the Kingdom of Heaven to the degree that we become conscious of it.

  • We believe the ultimate goal of life 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 human kind, and that each may become a revealer of 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 thought 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 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 each of us is God!
