Ernest Holmes

Life externalizes at the level of our thought.

Love is the sole impulse for creation; and the man who does not have it as the greatest incentive in his life has never developed the real creative instinct. No one can swing out into the Universal without love, for the whole universe is based upon it.

Life is not just something to be endured. It is to be lived in joy, in a fullness without limit (p.82)

There is one power in the Universe and we can all use it.

You can be on the cusp of something. Appreciate the cusp, not the something. Appreciate this moment now.

To the soul that knows its own divinity, all else must gravitate

The mind of man is continuously unfolding into a greater recognition of its real plan in the creative order of the Universe.

We are all immersed in the atmosphere of our own thinking, which is the direct result of all we have ever said, thought or done. This decides what is to take place in our lives.

With every pill we have prescribed for us we should also be given a creative prayer, a suggested way to correct our destructive patterns of thought.

Love is the victor in every case. Love breaks down the iron bars of thought, and sets the captive free.

When you want to do a big thing, get the mental pattern, make it perfect, know just what it means, enlarge your thought, keep it to yourself, pass it over to the creative power behind all things, wait and listen, and when the impression comes, follow it with assurance. Don't talk to anyone about it. Never listen to negative talk or pay attention to it and you will succeed where all others fail.

Love is at the Center of our being, and the calm, continuous pulsations of life are governed by Love.

The whole world, from the least to the greatest, must know the truth, so that man may understand the great laws that govern his life. He must learn to control his own destiny, to heal his own body and bring happiness to his own soul.

Wait for the idea. It may not come at first, but you must be patient, never doubting, waiting in faith. It will come.

Abundance is mine. I cannot be deprived of my supply. The trees do not lack for leaves, nor do the flowers fail to bloom.

The whole thing resolves itself into our mental ability to control our thought. The man who can do this can have what he wants, can do what he wishes and becomes what he wills.

I cleanse the windows of my mind, that it may become a mirror reflecting inspiration from the most High. I do this, not with strenuous effort, but through quiet contemplation, through gently reaching and affirming an inward recognition. I know exactly what to do in every situation. There is an inspiration within me which governs every act, every thought, with certainty, with conviction and in peace.

Each one should realize there is nothing in (us) which denies that which (we) desire.

True teaching liberates the student from his teacher.

We have within us, a power that is greater than anything we shall ever contact in the outer, a power that can overcome every obstacle in our life and set us safe, satisfied and at peace, healed and prosperous, in a new light, and in a new life.

There is a Power in the universe greater than you are, and you can use it.
