Overview
Creative Mind and Success is Ernest Holmes's early New Thought classic on thought, spiritual law, mental causation, prosperity, and the disciplined use of consciousness. Written before Holmes became widely known for The Science of Mind, the book presents the core ideas that would define his later work: that mind is creative, that thought participates in spiritual law, and that success begins with the individual's ability to direct belief, imagination, purpose, and inner conviction.First published in 1919, Creative Mind and Success belongs to the practical metaphysical tradition of New Thought, where spiritual principle is joined to self-mastery, prosperity, healing, and effective living. Holmes writes not merely about positive thinking, but about aligning thought with what he understood as universal creative intelligence. For readers of New Thought, Religious Science, metaphysical religion, prosperity teaching, affirmation, mind-power classics, and early twentieth-century spiritual self-help, Creative Mind and Success is a concise and important work by one of the movement's central teachers. Online Books at the University of Pennsylvania lists Creative Mind and Success by Ernest Holmes as a 1919 work, while later catalogues identify Holmes as the founder of the Religious Science movement.
