Our Seven
Core Values
Dr. Ernest Holmes drew one thread of truth through every tradition. Hover or tap each value to explore.
God is love — and so are you. Your ability to give and receive love is a gift from your Creator.
Anyone and everything can heal. Wholeness is your natural, normal state.
You are connected to every living being through an intricate web of divine life.
The Universe is lavish and rich. You are heir to the entire estate.
You are here to grow in awareness of the Presence and to experience the depth of unconditional love.
Service to others is an expression of our Oneness — a spiritual practice of compassion.
We honor all paths to God and celebrate the diversity of an Infinite Creator.
Your questions, answered
What does Science of Mind believe about God?+
God is that transcendent and beautiful Mystery: the Origin of all, the Sustainer of all, the Truth of all that is — Presence and Principle, Love and Law, Life Itself. No person can fully explain what God is, since God is infinite.
What does Science of Mind believe about Jesus?+
We accept his example and teachings. We do not deny the divinity of Jesus — rather, we affirm the divinity of all people, because God is the Creator of us all. We think of Jesus as an example, not an exception.
What about the Bible?+
It is one among many sacred scriptures, all inspired by the One Mind and presented through various teachers. For Western people the Judeo-Christian scriptures offer a useful path to spiritual freedom — and we also find truth in many of the world’s sacred texts.
Do you believe in Heaven and Hell?+
Heaven and Hell are states of mind, not literal places. We believe Heaven is within us, experienced to the degree that we become conscious of it.
Is everyone welcome?+
Yes. CSL embraces every individual as a perfect expression of God. No matter your age, background, or who you love — you belong here.
“Love is the glue that binds us to each other. There is one life, and that life is God.”
