Asilomar and Ernest Holmes. Asilomar and Religious Science. Asilomar and Science of Mind. The deep history of Asilomar itself, enriched by the history of Religious Science, adds texture and context to this collection of lectures and classes presented by Dr. Ernest Holmes at Asilomar in the 1950s. Readers will forge the connection between this sacred place and this spiritual leader's teachings. Captured in this volume are the words spoken by Holmes to those who attended the Religious Science conferences during the final decade of Holmes's life. These summer gatherings were a special time for Religious Scientists and for Holmes himself.

The transcripts gathered here detail what Holmes believed was important to share with the people already deeply involved in the movement. As such, they are, to a degree, advanced metaphysics presentations, building on the basic concepts of Science of Mind and New Thought. For the long-time spiritual seeker and one familiar with the basics of Science of Mind, these talks will reinforce and broaden your understanding, taking you deeper into the philosophy. Be prepared to be challenged.
