What is Science of Mind?by Khatia Krebs, Minister, Science of Mind Science of Mind is the teachings of Religious Science, a religion founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes in 1927. Science of Mind is not in opposition to any other religious belief or philosophy. It seeks to bring an awareness of the Truth that exists in all religions. This is a belief that we are all connected, we are all One. The Science of Mind is the name of the book written by Dr. Ernest Holmes. It became the text and basis for the teaching of Science of Mind as a science, philosophy and religion worldwide. For many, the Science of Mind is not only a teaching but a way of life. Science of Mind embraces many ideas, from many sources. Our teaching is universal and places no one above or below ourselves. We believe that God is available to everyone, equally. We believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ, in fact the book, The Science of Mind is largely based upon his teachings. We also believe in the teachings of Buddha, Krishna, Confucius, Mohammed, Mahatma Gandhi, Ralph Waldo Emerson and many more. Religious Science teaches the age-old wisdom of many of the world's great religions in a new and contemporary format. We believe that God is the only true inner power. We feel no need to use any "tool" outside of our own consciousness to experience total peace of mind. We know that we are One with the power of God. As we experience the presence of God within, we know we can let this awesome power do wonderful things through us. We know that we of ourselves do nothing but realize the Divine Truth. It is God that is within that does the work. The premise of Science of Mind rests on the fact that "God Is All There Is". While we know that we are not all that God is, God is all that we are. We believe that all discord in our lives arises because at some level we have created a sense of separation from God. This is caused by a belief in duality, in two separate and opposing powers. This duality results from a fear-based belief that we are separate from God and that "negative" things, conditions or individuals are happening outside of ourselves. In Religious Science we communicate with God in thought and speech through a process we call Spiritual Mind Treatment, or positive prayer. We believe that God has given us all that we need to live a complete, whole, prosperous and healthy life. We only have to accept this fact! A Spiritual Mind Treatment is process used to change our consciousness. A Spiritual Mind Treatment acknowledges to Mind (God) that what we are treating for already exists and is ours. There is never any asking, begging, or supplication - only acceptance. Religious Science offers practical and definite methods for creating positive life changes. We teach how to heal our lives of any and all discord, fear, superstition, guilt and sense of lack. Wholeness in mind, body and spirit can be found at the very center of who and what we are now.

What is A Spiritual Mind Treatment?by Khatia Krebs, Minister, Science of Mind A Spiritual Mind Treatment is an affirmative prayer whereby we communicate directly with God. In Science of Mind we are taught that we do not need a "middleman" to intercede between God and ourselves. In some belief systems a prayer appears to be a separation from God, where one is beseeching, imploring or bargaining with someone outside of themselves to come in and do something for them. An effective practitioner in Science of Mind understands that we live in a perfect Universe and live in complete harmony with All That Is. With this understanding, we can change our consciousness and subsequently change our lives. Science of Mind teaches us that out thoughts are energy being directed in a specific way. Our thought originates as cause in our conscious mind, which then moves through our subconscious mind as Law. Our thoughts work through Law, but the Law is consciously set in motion by our own thinking process. This is how thoughts become things. We are responsible for the thoughts that we think. When we change our thinking, we use the Law consciously. Change your thinking, change your life! When we embody our thoughts and words through Spiritual Mind Treatment, we are allowing our thoughts to generate feelings. As our thought generates a feeling - we give it form and make it part ourselves spiritually, mentally and physically. When Jesus said, "Know the truth and the truth shall set you free", he was saying that to the degree that you know the truth about yourself, you will be free and able to direct your own life. When you understand that your every thought is creative, you are free to express your true Self. The book, The Science of Mind states; "God in you, as you, is you." When Jesus stated that we should believe even before we receive, he was explaining cause and effect. Cause always produces an effect. As metaphysicians we are becoming cause to our effect by our thinking and deepest beliefs. As we change the cause (our thinking), the effect (our lives) changes automatically. As Religious Scientists, we are always dealing in cause rather than effect. The basis for a Spiritual Mind Treatment is a conviction that one's life is pure Spirit. The individual recognizes this Spirit at the center of his/her being. There are 5 steps to a Spiritual Mind Treatment. The 5 steps for a Spiritual Mind Treatment are as follows: 1) Recognition - God is all that there is. Recognizing the aspect that there is only the One that is All in the Universe. 2) Identification - This is the connection with Spirit. Affirming that there is one God, one Spirit, one Essence. 3) Affirmation - A positive, specific, personal, present and precise statement of Truth for oneself or for another. 4) Thanksgiving - Gratitude to the One that is Spirit, God, All That Is. This is the time to state a humbling thank you to God. 5) Release - Visually handing the treatment over to God, knowing that it is acted upon by Spirit. And So It Is! To do treatment work is to practice mental and spiritual healing. All healing is done in consciousness and is reflected in the physical body and the body of one's affairs. One might do a treatment for him/herself. A practitioner is a person that is trained and licensed by Religious Science. A practitioner knows he/she and the person for whom he/she is treating are both one in the Mind of God, he/she treats to know within him/herself the truth about the other person. A Spiritual Mind Treatment can be as short or as long as you desire. The most important aspect of the treatment is the energy that is behind the statement of Truth. Example of Spiritual Mind Treatment for today: There is only one Spirit, one Source of all Creation. This Source fills us with Light and Love. The Abundant Supply of Spirit expresses and fulfills Itself through us. It floods through our minds and bodies and in all of our affairs. We know that we are safe, that the love of Spirit turns the hearts of any whom would do harm to another. Our health, wealth and circumstances are filled with perfection. We know that perfection for ________. With joy and gratitude from our heart, we release these words into the action of Law, knowing that the highest good comes to all - right here - right now. And So It Is. Khatia Krebs, Minister, Science of Mind. Khatia Krebs is a Science of Mind Minister.
