    About this ebook

    Religious Science is not a personal opinion, nor is it a special revelation. It is a result of the best thought of the ages. It borrows much of its light from others, but in so doing, robs no one, for Truth is universal.

    The Christian Bible, perhaps the greatest book ever written, truly points a way to eternal values. But there are many other bibles, all of which taken together weave the story of spiritual Truth into a unified pattern.

    All peoples have had their bibles, as all have had their religions; all have pointed a way to ultimate values, but can we say that any of them has really pointed the way? It is unreasonable to suppose that any one person, or people, encompasses all truth, and that they alone can reveal the way of life to others.

    Taking the best from all sources, Religious Science has access to the highest enlightenment of the ages. Religious Science reads everyman’s bible and gleans the truths contained therein. It studies all peoples’ thought and draws from each that which is true. Without criticism, without judgment, but by true discrimination, that which is true and provable may be discovered and put to practical use.

    What is Truth? Where may it be found? And how used? These are the questions that intelligent people ask. They find their answer in the study of Religious Science. Shorn of dogmatism, freed from superstition, and always ready for greater illumination, Religious Science offers the student of life the best that the world has so far discovered.

    It has been well said that “religions are many, but Religion is one.” The varying faiths of humankind are unnumbered, but the primal faith of the race is today, as of old, the One Faith; an instinctive reliance upon the Unseen, which we have learned to call God.

    Religion is One. Faith is One. Truth is One.

      FOREWORD

      Religious Science is something intelligent to think about, and something satisfying to believe in, as well as being something practical to use. Regardless of race, religious affiliation, education, or social status, one may find in it the ways and means to a fuller, richer life.

      Religious Science presents a message of hope, help, and inspiration, for its practice and use extends into every form of human experience. Health, abundance, harmonious relationships, success, creative activity, and all the other things that make for the good life become accessible. Rather than feel like hopeless human beings tossed about by the currents of life, we learn that as divine beings we are the master of our destiny, and prove to ourselves that it is done unto us as we believe.

      The universality of the philosophy of Religious Science is evidenced by the many references to the great religions of the world found in this book.

      The Search for Truth

      Religious Science is not a personal opinion, nor is it a special revelation. It is a result of the best thought of the ages. It borrows much of its light from others, but in so doing, robs no one, for Truth is universal.

      The Christian Bible, perhaps the greatest book ever written, truly points a way to eternal values. But there are many other bibles, all of which taken together weave the story of spiritual Truth into a unified pattern.

      All peoples have had their bibles, as all have had their religions; all have pointed a way to ultimate values, but can we say that any of them has really pointed the way? It is unreasonable to suppose that any one person, or people, encompasses all truth, and that they alone can reveal the way of life to others.

      Taking the best from all sources, Religious Science has access to the highest enlightenment of the ages. Religious Science reads everyman’s bible and gleans the truths contained therein. It studies all peoples’ thought and draws from each that which is true. Without criticism, without judgment, but by true discrimination, that which is true and provable may be discovered and put to practical use.

      What is Truth? Where may it be found? And how used? These are the questions that intelligent people ask. They find their answer in the study of Religious Science. Shorn of dogmatism, freed from superstition, and always ready for greater illumination, Religious Science offers the student of life the best that the world has so far discovered.

      It has been well said that religions are many, but Religion is one. The varying faiths of humankind are unnumbered, but the primal faith of the race is today, as of old, the One Faith; an instinctive reliance upon the Unseen, which we have learned to call God.

      Religion is One. Faith is One. Truth is One. There is One Reality at the heart of all religions, whether their name be Hindu, Mohammedan, Christian, or Jewish. Each of these faiths, limited by its outlook upon life and the universe, evolved its own specific statements of faith, called creeds and beliefs, and was henceforth governed by them.

      Spiritual Experience

      Spiritual experience is always a new thing. It ever seeks to express itself in a new way. The history of religion is a history of a periodic breaking away from the older body and the formulation of a new body of disciples to whom had come new light and a more satisfying experience.

      While the Universal Mind contains all knowledge and is the potential of all things, only as much truth comes to us as we are able to receive. Should all the wisdom of the universe be poured over us, we should yet receive only that which we are ready to understand. We draw from the source of all knowledge that to which we inwardly listen. Scientists discover the principle of their science, artists tap the essence of beauty, saints draw Christ into their being, because all are given according to their ability to receive.

      Ralph Waldo Emerson taught of the immanence of God; of the spiritual impulse underlying all life; of the divinity of the universe, including humankind; and his message gradually permeated the sodden mass of the accepted theological concepts of the day. He wrought a revolution in religious thinking, the full effects of which we are only beginning to realize in our own time.

      Yourself, he said, "a new born bard of the Holy Ghost, cast behind you all conformity, and acquaint men at first hand with Deity. Look to it first and only that tradition, custom, Authority, are not bandages over your eyes, so that you cannot see....Let me admonish you first of all to go alone,
