What Can Religious Science Do For You?

Introduction

There is a power for good in the universe that is available to everyone. Religious Science is a way of life and thinking that helps people realize their true nature and fulfill their individual goals in life.

Very simply, we believe that the universe is fundamentally spiritual-- it has intelligence, purpose, beauty and order. Whether we call it God, nature, spirit, energy or universal intelligence, we believe this universal intelligence is within us as well as around us, and that we can become conscious of it.

Religious Science is not a closed system of thought. It grows continually as humankind evolves, drawing on the frontiers of knowledge as well as the wisdom of the ages. It can be approached as a science, a philosophy and a religion.

As a science, it is based on specific principles that have been verified by many of the world's leading scientists. Scientific knowledge is applied through individually tailored techniques to expand people's thinking and, as a result, their experiences.

As a philosophy, Religious Science is a down-to-earth, easily applied way of thinking about the nature of the universe and our relationship to it. When we understand ourselves as both creations and co-creators of the universe, we are free to express the unlimited potential within us. What we ultimately realize is that our experiences are not as important as our reaction to them.

As a religion, Religious Science is a metaphysical expression of universal truths revealed in many world religions. Free of concepts subject to doubt, speculation, and superstition, it appeals to reason and is straightforward in its approach.


What Can Religious Science Do For You?

The answer to this questions is that Religious Science teaches you what you can do for you. That you, as a divine being, can become master of your destiny. This way of thinking will bring you a better way of living. Once you realize your own true nature, you will find that health, abundance, harmonious relationships, success, creative activity, love and peace are all fundamental parts of you.

"To learn how to think is to learn how to live..."

Realization of one's own divinity is, most often, a gradual and continually unfolding process. To help people make this realization, Religious Science uses a two-part approach: teaching and healing. The teaching involves the presentation of universal ideas of truth and how to use them. Through their application, the healing process takes place and becomes tangible by changing your life. As you witness these changes, your faith grows naturally.
   The Organization

Religious Science International (RSI) is a mutual association of individual churches throughout the world that have joined together in a united effort to teach the principles of a metaphysical thought system called Science of Mind.

Incorporated in 1949 as the International Association of Religious Science Churches (IARSC), the Universal Church Organization was founded by Dr. Ernest Holmes, who began his metaphysical teachings in 1917.

"Anything that will enable us to express greater life,
greater happiness, greater power
-- so long as it does not harm anyone --
must be the will of God for us."

Believing that true spiritual unity can most effectively be manifested in a spiritual democracy, the organization is governed as such. Religious Science International holds an annual Congress, at which every church is represented. It is administered by a Board of Directors elected by the Congress. Each church within the organization operates autonomously, but subscribes and is subject to by-laws approved by the Board of Directors' annual RSI congress.

Religious Science International establishes educational policies, provides accredited instructional courses and conducts post graduate programs for ministers.

In addition to Sunday morning services and personal counseling, local churches offer classes, workshops and many other activities for members.

The organization publishes the monthly magazine, Creative Thought, and conducts special seminars in this country and abroad, and deals with basic human needs.

"The possibilities of the Law are infinite,
and our possibilities of using it are limitless."

If you desire greater fulfillment in your life, you are most cordially invited to further explore the meaning Religious Science may have for you. Visitors are welcome at any local church and many regional and national gatherings.

If you would like to learn more about Religious Science, contact your local Church of Religious Science (listed in the Yellow Pages and each issue of Creative Thought Magazine).
