Has anyone here read The Science of Mind, by Earnest Holmes? And if so, what did/do you think about it. Thanks.

Holmes is a sound writer and there is much that is valuable in his books.
My only caution is that while Mind is one of the attributes of Creation and the Creator there are other attributes - for example our god is a God of Love
Humans may be properly drawn to the path of Mind, but some are captured by it beyond due time
So while Mind is a valid path to the Source, in this solar system, most humans will transit from Mind at some stage in order to manifest the natural role of humans within this system
Cheers

As Freemasons we are taught to be cautious: Never more so than in departing from the path of mind. Lead off with intuition by all means but follow-up with reason before advancing further. (Our Craft was a nurse-maid to the Enlightenment and a companion to The Royal Society).

Ernest Holmes is a favourite author of mine and I have several of his books, including The Science of Mind and Love and Law.
Particularly good is Creative Mind and Success (not to be confused with Creative Mind) because although it is only 96 pages long it is packed with insights. If you read that and then you read Ch. 4 of WL Wilmshurst's The Meaning of Masonry a lot of otherwise obscure statements will immediately make sense.
I have posted some Ernest Holmes in the Articles & Papers forum.
