He never intended to begin a new faith, but was persuaded to allow a church to be created to assure that the principles he synthesized would outlive him. It is necessary that Spirit be manifested in order to express Itself. Humanity reenacts the whole Universal Life, and the nature of humanity is identical with Spirit.

Meditation is the time honored technique for taming, training and transforming the mind.
Religious Science endorses all forms of meditation, from creative visualization to the more traditional mind stilling techniques. It is through meditation that we come into a state of God communion and thereby experience a greater sense of unity of all life. Religious Science honors and endorses all forms of sincere prayer. In addition, it teaches a unique and scientific form of prayer called Spiritual Mind Treatment. This is a powerful, affirmative method of prayer that was developed by Dr. Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science.
