I believe in the teachings and writings of Ernest Holmes and the United Centers for Spiritual Living. You can visit their website by clicking the logo below. Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science was once asked by a reporter what he and this organization believed. It has been reported he recited the following words speaking in the first person. The "I" was eventually changed to a "WE" and we have used these amazing words as guiding thoughts ever since. Eventually the United Centers for Spiritual Living wrote "The Global Heart Vision." In recent years many spiritual leaders have created a reading that incorporates both of these documents simply by reading the first verse of "What We Believe" followed by the first verse of :The Global Heart Vision" and continuing to speak their independent roles until complete. The video you see below is a group of people reading the individual verses of the What We Believe document.
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 logical and necessary outcome of the infinite self-knowingness of God. We believe in the incarnation of Spirit in everyone and that all people are 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 Heaven is within me and that we experience It 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 the individual, and that any person 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 my 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 the eternal Giving-ness 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.
