| I have not read the book yet but I have it and it is
going to be a long read.
In the early 1900s Ernest Holmes published some of his views
listed below
I 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.
I believe in the incarnation of the Spirit in all, and that we are all
incarnations of the One Spirit.
I believe in the eternality, the immortality, and the continuity of the
individual soul, forever and ever expanding.
I believe that the Kingdom of Heaven is within me and that I experience
this Kingdom to the degree that I become conscious of it.
I 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.
I believe in the unity of all life, and that the highest God and the
innermost God is one God.
I believe that God is personal to all who feel this indwelling Presence.
I believe in the direct revelation of Truth through my intuitive and
spiritual nature, and that anyone may become a revealer of Truth who
lives in close contact with the Indwelling God.
I believe that the Universal Spirit which is God, operates through a
Universal Mind, which is the Law of God; and that I am surrounded by
this Creative Mind which receives the direct impress of my thought and
acts upon it.
I believe in the healing of the sick through the power of the Mind.
I believe in the control of conditions through the power of the Mind.
I believe in the eternal Goodness, the eternal Loving-kindness and the
eternal Givingness of Life to all.
I believe in my own soul, my own spirit, and my own destiny; for I
understand that the life I live is God.
