Roots of the Science of Mind

Roots is a course that takes students on a journey into the historical origins of Ernest Holmes’ transformative philosophy focusing on the influential works of Thomas Troward, Emma Curtis Hopkins and Ralph Waldo Emerson. Participants will gain an understanding of the intellectual and spiritual foundations that shaped Holmes’ teaching through an in-depth exploration into the insights of these visionary thinkers, discovering the seeds of wisdom that later blossomed into the Science of Mind philosophy. A rich tapestry of knowledge connects students to the intellectual lineage that underpins the Science of Mind philosophy and deepens their appreciation for the insights that shaped the spiritual landscape of philosophy as we know it today.
