Creative Mind and Success

I bought these as gifts as I've already read Science of Mind and so many others by Earnest Holmes. Cannot recommend his work more highly!

This book was I needed to lift me up and inspire me. I will read it again and again because I can't get enough of it.

This is a must have for people ( like me ) who eat up Neville Goddard's works, and Dr. Joseph Murphy'sworks !!! I'll be buying " more " Ernest Holmes works ; awesomely clear and instructional !!!***************************************************Abby Kennard ************************************************

Ernest Holmes' Creative Mind and Success is a little gem of a book. Not only will reading and re-reading it give you the good stuff for your mind that'll help propel you to success -- but the book proves you don't have to write a ton of verbiage to be profound. And you, as a consumer, can save thousands of dollars in motivational training by just reading THIS small book. Holme's main point is that "your thought decides whether your business shall be a success or a failure." Why? Because "Life is from within outward and never from without inward." Our thoughts DO influence what we become and how we fare. Holme's wrote this book in 1919 and wrote the foward to its reprinting in 1957 -- and it is as good as ever. And...no...I'm not a card-carrying member of his church (with a name like "Gandelman" -- guess!). But I've learned (the HARD WAY) that the motivational speakers and motivational/spiritual writers are CORRECT: how we view things, what we verbally and mentally affirm and what and how we pray (affirmation is actually a form of prayer so if you don't like to pray and you do affirmations, you're basically doing it) DOES HAVE AN IMPACT. If I don't do it and go into a downward spiral, I STAY in it. If I break it and do affirmations or Holme's version of prayer mixed with affirmation (affirmative prayer) I get out of it and steadily advance. Why do I suggest you get and read, re-read and TRAVEL WITH this book? A few reasons:1. It's only 84 pages long.2. He clearly provided the foundation for the views of many motivational, self-help folks who would follow. I see a lot of Napolean Hill's philosophy (they most likely arrived at the same conclusions independently) in it. And even Norman Vincent Peale whose widely used quote is on the dust cover: "I believe God was in this man, Ernest Holmes. He was in tune with the Infinite."3. He CONSTANTLY tells readers to ignore the naysayers who tell you you are a failure. Ignore the prophets of doom and gloom who, in your darkest moments, will tell you that you are destined to flop.4. He gives you a very specific explanation as to why you must IGNORE the negative voices and view yourself as a success and your goals as doable. As he puts it, yes, there is a cause and effect but "In your life you are that cause." Think failure and poverty...that's what you'll get. If, despite where you are now, you think success and plenty, you'll find yourself headed in that direction. "Whatever we think is the pattern and mind is the builder," he writes. "....Know that no matter what others may say, think or do, you are a success, now, and nothing can hinder you from accomplishing your good."5. Whether you want to use a self-help framework or religious framework this profound little book (you will NOT feel cheated; there is no padding!) gives you the CONFIDENCE and HOPE to jump out of bed every day and get down to it...and listen to YOUR OWN encouragement and blot out the negative voices that may surround you and dishearten you. When things may not look great, you can read it and get your thinking back on track. If people say you're destined to fail, Holmes is there to tell you you will NOT and give you a specific framework to tell you why you won't if you don't think you won't. NOTE: I not only read this but I underlined it. Now I'm re-reading my underlinings. Then I'll re-read it again..and I travel with this jewel of a book, keeping it in my carry-on luggage or my overnight bag.

This is THE primer for New Thought. If you are a traditionalist Christian who knows there has to something more, or a "new ager" who has wandered off into the wacky woods, this little book will open your eyes and bring you back to center. I have read my copy at least a dozen times, and find new nuggets each time. If you are seeing "follow the white rabbit" on your screen, this book could change your life.

There have been dozens of books telling you that your thoughts create your reality and how to use that to your advantage. This is one of the original such books. The major difference is that because Holmes was inspired as one of the original channels through which this very important information came through, I could fell that his words in this book were highly charged with transformational spiritual energy. I'm not talking of some New Age foo-foo idea. And I'm not talking about religiosity (religion, the bureacracy between God and man!). I'm talking about grounded, very real direct spiritual power. What he offers in this book is the real deal. I have known of this stuff for years. And yet when I read this book, I intentionally approached it with "beginner's mind" as if I've never heard of this stuff before. And as good as my life already was going into this book, applying what Holmes writes has boosted my life to a new level of inner fullness. Buy it, read it, apply it every moment and this will transform your life.

Holmes is one of my favorite authors. His words always have great wisdom for us all. I buy his books for myself and friends. Thanks.

This book is short, sweet, and to the point. If taken as a general guide, its principles can help improve you life, outcomes, and experiences.

Amazing book and will definitely recommend this book as it raises your consciousness to a complete new level of understanding. A must read for children and adults as it really allows a person to see life through a different perspective. It creates hope, joy, belief in life and enhances the fact that we are the captains of our own ships by giving us clear directions on how to successfully steering our ship to reach beautiful and wonderful destinations during our so-journey in this life time. A wonderful must read for everyone who wants to grow exponentially.

Ahead of it's time, awesome, easy to understand truth of the real laws of this earth and how we can work with them for our success in life.These teachings seem to finally be coming out into the open more now.It's all very simple in the end...can just be a bit of a struggle to shake off everything we have previously been taught. (the illusions)

This guy is easily the best writer on this subject from his era. He makes it easy to understand the subject better than any other writer I have came across.

This is a lovely, friendly, easy read of a book that explains in a straightforward way what Science of Mind is and how to use it.

A great book for encouraging the creative juices
