Quote of the Week
from Ernest Holmes
Ernest Holmes photo

“Healing and demonstration take place as our minds become attuned to the truth of Being. There is no process of healing, but there is generally a process in healing. This process is the time and effort which we undergo in our realization of Truth.” —The Science of Mind (revised) – p. 57, ¶3
